.Neo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Okay, that's a bit non-intuitive, don't you think? I've found that Lion does have some neat new functionality but it's currently not documented or hidden in such a way that it just feels awkward to enable. Not really no. It's the first thing I thought on my own of when I saw the preference pane doesn't have a dropbox per Space. True you have to know that this is possible in the first place, but I find the execution quite logical. Doesn't it work the same way if you want to change a desktop picture on a second monitor?

Priceless90 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Four finger pinch in will show Launchpad Four finger swipe up will show Mission Control Four finger swipe left/right will scroll Dashboard (left of desktop) < - > Desktop < - > full screen apps Pretty cool once you get used to it. you can change all that in magic mouse or using magic pref to tweak things a little bit to serve your comfort. the app also work well with Lion.

WelshBluebird Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 there's nothing conflicting about it? it tells you to install another version of xcode, one that works on 10.6 It says that Xcode needs Lion, yet then also says that you need to install a version of Xcode that supports Snow Leopard. Does seem a little odd. Four finger pinch in will show Launchpad How on earth do you do that? I'm not running Lion, but don't see how doing that is possible lol.

Wannes Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Just tried it and you can! Cool. :D Love this new "different wallpaper per space" feature. I always hated the fact I didn't know which space I was using causing some conflicts.

.Neo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Gotta love the new tab styles with the active button/tab sliding around. (Y) The only thing I don't like is that windows don't animate consistently. Some have that new zoom open effect (only document based applications as it seems), while some don't. And sometimes a dialog window will animate on open, and sometimes I doesn't. I'm sure this will be fixed though. Mac OS X Lion definitely does a lot to give Aqua its coolness back. It almost feels like running Mac OS X Cheetah for the first time again. Almost. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/28/#findComment-593736662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priceless90 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Lion is so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool...but not at all yet! Lion is mean to "BORN THIS WAY" . Lion is trying to be a friend of iOS Lion is about to be part of iOS Lion is all about User Lion? it's just a lion after all...

When I was running from an external hard drive, I had a ton of WiFi issues. Since I installed it directly onto to MBP, it's been very smooth. Don't ask me why that worked, but it did.

celticpride678 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I've been doing some digging on how to change the background of the Dashboard desktop and I've figured out how to do it. Step 1: Navigate to System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/Resources Step 2: Find the file called pirelli.png and drag it to the desktop Step 3: If you want to use the background found in Mission Control, copy the file called default desktop.png in the same folder to the desktop and rename it to pirelli.png Step 4: Drag that file you just renamed back into System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/Resources Step 5: Launch Terminal and type in the following command: killall Dock Step 6: Check if the background of Dashboard was changed NOTE: If you just remove the pirelli.png file from step 2, the wallpaper of your first desktop will be used as the background for Dashboard. Any questions, just reply back.

celticpride678 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You may want to use a darker version of that image: :) You're right. It looks better. Also, I found an issue where, if you're using an external monitor, the background of the dashboard will still be the dots on the external. Looking into why.

Yea figured it out, I just though it was a funny error. :p I hate the fact you always have to download the entire Xcode image over and over again with every update. Why aren't these things pushed through Software Update as well? I'm surprised that the background image for Mission Control is only 1920x1200 or something like that. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/28/#findComment-593737230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

protocol7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 It's been going pretty well here. I've only managed to crash Disk Utility so far (by trying to get the SHA1 checksum of the InstallESD.dmg). This crashes it straight away. It looks like there's no way to enable FTP sharing though. Even with the server components installed. BTW the App Store in Lion detected updates for some apps on my Snow Leopard drive. Even without logging in.

Quillz Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 So I just (accidentally) discovered the two-finger page navigation in Safari (and I assume other applications), and it has a neat effect, but is there any way to edit it? I can't find anything relating to it in the Trackpad/Mouse preferences.
