Now that Mac OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard) is out and that finally installed it, let’s have a small review.
The Good
- Networking seems to work a lot smoother than on previous version. The new arrived computer on the network are immediately displayed (also when it’s a PC).
- SVN is now by default installed with the developer tools.
The Bad
- No utility like Cocktail or OnyX are momentarily available.
- The folder’s icons is awfull.
- The icon in the window’s sidebar are too small.
The Ugly
- NetInfo Manager has gone. You have to go to go to Directory Utility in Menu Edition to enable the root account and you have to go to the Account Preference pane and then perform an option + click on the account name to get to the Advanced Options in order to modify the default shell you use.
To survive
In a terminal for the transparency icon on dock when application is hidden:
defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES
double arrow are the each end of scroll bar:
defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBoth
Logout and login to have the change taking effect.
