My First 15 Minutes with Leopard

Posted November 15, 2007

I know, I'm behind the times but we finally got Leopard today and here a few quick thoughts.

I don't mind the 3-D dock, but I don't like the glowing dots to show an application's running. This should put it back to how it was.

Mail's nice. I don't know how often I'll use the To-Do and Notes, but pretty sweet it's an RSS reader now. Will it take in my NetNewsWire subscriptions or take an OPML?

We used the screen-sharing in iChat. I connected to an iMac with 2 monitors and saw them both (bonus points for switching seamlessly into the WinXP running in a Parallels window on the other machine.

I made a web clipping of the Erie Blogs recently updated part of the page. Very cool - can you share web clips or should I make a custom app using Dashcode?

Safari's fine - I like being able to pull tabs off into new pages but how do you take that new page and make it back into a tab?

Terminal tabs are sweet. More later...

"...but how do you take that new page and make it back into a tab?"

The tab bar needs to be visible. You can either show the tab bar all the time (which I hate) or CMD+T and drag that tab into the old window and CMD+W the (the now) empty one. I'm sure I could explain it better, but if you play with it, you'll see what I mean. Either way, you need to be able to see the tabs in both windows.

So envious! I have yet to get Leopard. I've been reading a lot about it and really think I'd like it. But, I'll deal with Tiger until I force myself to upgrade.
