CPressland Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Cursors are now vector objects... Not on mine it's not. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/39/#findComment-593751316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not on mine it's not. The cursor won't turn "vectorized" until you click it once on the desktop or any other application (except System Preferences). You don't have to quit System Preferences, just make it unfocussed.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted March 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 2, 2011 i like the concept of a vector object for the cursor though its nice.

You don't have to quit System Preferences, just make it unfocussed. I've noticed, though, that some cursors, such as the resizing handles when taking a screenshot via CMD+Shift+4, are still heavily pixelated, and it shows up from time to time in Safari. Has this occurred for you? I suppose doing a full system logout may fix the issue. If not, probably just a bug.

Quillz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Are we talking screenzoom here or what? Cause I can't get it to do a darn thing. :p Apple even made the NeXTstep-style camera icon you see when doing CMD+Shift+4+Space a vector, as well. However, I did find a bug: Immediately after taking a screenshot, the cursor goes back to being pixelated. Clearly a bug, but you can fix it by clicking on an unfocused object, as .Neo pointed out. EDIT: Okay, logging out of the system doesn't fix the pixelation, so it's obviously a bug. Seems only the main cursor and the text selection cursor are fully vectorized. I'd get a screenshot of the vectorized camera and finger icon, but I can't figure out how to take screenshots of the CMD+Tab screen and the CMD+Shift+4+Space screen, or even how to get a cursor in a screenshot.

tra Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 How can you change anything on the launchpad? It still shows icons from programs i removed. How can you update the launchpad or remove the old icons? It shows the program icon with a questionmark behind it.

How can you update the launchpad or remove the old icons? It shows the program icon with a questionmark behind it. Right now, you can?t, and it doesn?t matter because it?s a developer preview. Application developers don?t need a working Launchpad to develop apps.

tra Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Found out, i can move old/removed icons to a separate page...

Maybe the same method works On the iPad/iPhone you have to press and hold an icon to go into "Editing mode" where you can drag them to different positions and screens. When in this mode every installed app has an X you can tap to uninstall it.

When in this mode every installed app has an X you can tap to uninstall it. Yea, that was the first thing I tried until I realized that when you click and hold, it only picks up the current icon. I imagine they're going to make it a "drag to trash" action since the dock shows up while Launchpad is enabled.

CPressland Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Guys, what do you think'll happen if I reinstall Snow Leopard directly over the top of Lion? All my user settings should be preserved... right? Don't have time for an Erase and Install right now.

Now the question remains: How does one delete a folder in Launchpad? When deleting all apps from a folder an empty folder is left behind. Restarting the Dock won't get rid of it. :/ Guys, what do you think'll happen if I reinstall Snow Leopard directly over the top of Lion? All my user settings should be preserved... right?

CPressland Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yup. Be warned: Many popular third-party applications don't work properly, if at all, on it. I'm talking about in reverse, I installed Lion over Snow Leopard, now I want to go back to Snow Leopard. Would have worked but the disk image I have is SL 10.6.0 and my MBP Shipped with 10.6.3 so it won't boot from it! D'oh! Any idea if I can integrate the Lion Drivers into the Snow Leopard DMG?

Elliott Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 So do any of you guys think we'll see the App Store window style go system-wide in Mac OS X Lion? Or is this pretty much it? I think this might be it. The App Store style toolbar doesn't necessarily suit every app, so I think it's going to be pretty much up to the developer. I'm wondering what else they're going to do to Safari. I know they've isolated the rendering process and sandboxed it (and updated WebKit [though not to WebKit 2] in the process), but I feel like there's more that they're going to do to the actual interface.
