SCO0124 - Leopard Desktop and Stacks
- 16 years ago
This weeks' show is the last Leopard related screencast for a couple of weeks, and it's all about a couple of the most controversial aspects of Leopard, and that's the Leopard Desktop and Stacks.
These two areas seem to have been the most contentious, what with the missing rounded corners, the translucent menu bar and the perception of the 3D dock as being just eye candy! Not to mention the dubious visual metaphor of Stacks using the foremost icon in the dock - very confusing!
Well in this weeks' show, we'll examine all these features and look at some resolutions using some free third party applications. So this weeks show covers:
◦ New Menu Bar
◦ Recreating Rounded Corners
◦ Turning off the Translucency
◦ Configuring New Screensavers
◦ Customising the 3D Dock
◦ Stacks Overview
◦ Fixing Stacks Visuals
◦ Creating a Recent Items Stack
