Quillz Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh, okay. Someone kept telling me to check the Appearance option and thus couldn't figure out why the three scroll bar options weren't doing anything. EDIT: Seems you can only change the scrolling behavior if you have a trackpad, though. I'm using a Magic Mouse and there is nothing I can edit in Trackpad. Nevermind, the same option is inside the Mouse preferences.

PyX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It took people 2 hours to crack the new FaceTime app and put it online, it surprises me the leak of Mac OS X Lion took as long as it did. I found FaceTime, but I can’t find Lion. So you must be a better pirate than me then. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/21/#findComment-593732222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not on any other private tracker, so I guess I’ll have to be patient :p It's on a certain bay, where pirates go (I hope I can say that). I couldn’t find it there :p But it doesn’t matter, I know I’ll end up getting my hands on it soon.

Quillz Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm glad that Apple has finally retired all of the old, out-of-place shiny, glossy Aqua widgets that debuted back in 2000. The new progress bars look great, as do the more muted checkboxes and radio buttons. Also, it seems to me that buttons and forms are using a darker hue of blue.

Quillz Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Okay, so it seems that iDisk isn't quite the same thing as AirDrop, though they seem like it to me, especially as iDisk can be shared publicly, right? I really should be using iDisk in place of Dropbox, as it does all the same things for me.

Rudy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 putting the app online is easy as pie, its getting the app into an iSO format and ridding the DRM protection that would be the tricky bit edit: i stand corrected, seems this has already been accomplished (Y) It's a shame, can the cracked version be installed stand alone or is it an update too? I just purchased the dev preview and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed I had to install 10.6 on a different partition first THEN upgrade :/ (I have to keep a clean 10.6 so I can continue developing for the AppStore) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/21/#findComment-593732308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past Mac OS X Developer Previews have always been stand-alone installers, so there's no reason why this can't be the case with Mac OS X Lion. The only reason this Mac OS X Lion installer requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard is because Apple set it up that way. Not because there's some technical limitation. Next to that the full Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD is less than 6,5 GB in size (not the 8-9 GB you're talking about). Even smaller when you exclude Xcode.

thefarewellnote Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like it creates a recovery HD - when you hold down Option it appears. Sure that was one with SL but never saw it. Also is it just me but there doesn't seem to be a way to exit dashboard without clicking a trackpad or clicking the keyboard. In SL you could click with a mouse to go back....

Mr. Gibs Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 though i have to thank apple for that, rather download 3.6Gb then 8-9Gb Um the download size has nothing to do with the install size :/ I mean Windows 7 download is like 3.16GB But can you PLEASE stop posting like that?

PNWDweller Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 If you have a Magic Mouse/Trackpad download Magicprefs, then you can install their plugin which emulates the launchpad. :) It is called launchboard.

mdtaUK Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 As a designer, I am interested in finding out if this build of Lion, contains the x2 UI image resources, that this new HiDPI support requires. If so, I would love to see screenshots running in this double resolution, or even better, a zip with the extracted UI images, if any of the Leopard and Snow Leopard theming tools still work? PM me, get in touch via Twitter @mdtauk or reply here if you can help me out!

Xtreme $niper Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I just noticed that they finally allow the ability to customize what the four finger swipe does.
