.Neo Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 And it looked awful :x In my opinion, it still does :x Yea doesn't look great, weren't they using the Mission Control background in the first preview we saw of Mac OS X Lion (keynote)? :/ That looked better.

No - they were using the current background :x But I agree the cloth texture sure does look good. I see Apple changing it before the final release (As they did with iOS) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/23/#findComment-593733482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 But can you PLEASE stop posting like that? Every single post that he does is like that, in the forums or on the front page news posts. Several people have asked him why, and he has never responded, as far as I've ever seen. I even posted a comment about it on his profile.

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted February 25, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've realised that unless an app is fullscreen enabled it appears as part of the finder in Mission Control and very much messes things up. That aside it seems pretty good. EDIT: NM changed a setting.

PyX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 What you're saying doesn't make much sense. it makes perfect sense. That's what I thought at first and he's just confirming what I had in mind. Also read the front page. Lion screwed up the bandwidth of the Mac App Store yesterday, imagine if it had been a whole 7-8GB download... It'll most likelybe bigger than SL because of added features as well as retina display pictures everywhere.

It'll most likelybe bigger than SL because of added features as well as retina display pictures everywhere. Apple didn't do it because Mac OS X Lion needs Mac OS X Snow Leopard from a technical standpoint (first part of his post), as if it's a The Sims expansion pack. Distribution is the only reason why they chose this model. In the past developers could download the full DMG from Apple's Developer website and as far as I can recall there were no problems back then... You can ask yourself if it's a smart move to distribute through a system that sees enormous commercial traffic as well. Apparently not.

He didn't mean to say Lion relied on SL so it's going to stay an upgrade only forever. Naturally, it's for distribution purposes. If Apple had opened their server farms already (which is happening in 2 months from now) the App Store would have survived easily to this.

presence06 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have a mid 2009 MacBook.

Timan Veteran Posted February 25, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2011 Well it "IS" possible to use the DMG hidden in the package, to install (new install) on another partition or drive. Could also restore the dmg to another partition(or usb key) and boot off that partition to install it.

Will the touch gestures work with it or is this just a MacBook AIR and Pro thing? :unsure: I don’t recall which model that is... Do you have a glass trackpad with no button on it? If so, it’s all going to work, your trackpad supports multitouch gestures. If you have a button at the bottom, you’ll need to upgrade to use this feature !

Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 One thing I do not like yet is the new behavior of the dock lights, which are now off by default (unless you re-enable them). Actually apps remain open even if you don't exit them like in Snow Leopard. I thought they closed like iPhoto and resume when open.

Chlorpromazine Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ok guys, I upgraded my SL 10.6.6 installation with Lion. Everything seems ok and working fine (incl. my previously installed CS5 apps.) EXCEPT for Safari, which open up like this: Everything is fine with Camino or Chrome. My Font Suitcase works fine (the same goes for any font with office or InDesign). Any idea?
