Found Footage: Exposé and Spaces in Leopard


Gah! All this waiting for Leopard is killing me. Luckily, we have videos like this to sate our hunger (at least for a few seconds). The video shows off Exposé and Spaces being used in conjuction. Oh, we like eye candy.

Made this vid a while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS96vx4AqC4.

And has anyone seen the UI of the new preview? Well, personally, I don't like it... Take a look here: http://lifeintheunderground.com/l33t/preview.png (sorry my server's a little slow)

Also, to those who want to get leopard: It is not worth it, it is still in beta, so its very unstable. The only redeeming factor is spaces.

#10: Ditto. I'm a big fan of brushed metal, and I've never understood where the hatred of it comes from. Adopting the "unified theme" in Leopard would be moving closer to M$, not staying ahead of it. I've never seen a poll of Mac users on this point, but part of me wonders whether the anti-brushed metal camp is merely a (very) vocal minority, or whether they actually represent the majority of Mac users.

I know it's still off topic but I have to add that it seems that Apple and Microsoft are moving in opposite directions in terms of the look of the interface. Apple is moving towards a more boring office use type of look while MS is moving towards a more "showy" type of look which OS X had in the earlier versions. I can't speak for the usability of the "showy" versions of these two OS's because I never used either for an extended period but it looks nice. BTW, I don't like the look of Vista particularly but I did like the original OS X 10.0.

Isn't this the same video (albeit a crappy version) of the previews that were posted on Apple's site a while ago?

Can anyone explain what is wrong with the brushed metal theme? I personally like it. I even like the original Aqua theme, although I never really got to use it since my MacBook Pro is my first Mac.

#3: IIRC, they didn't show Exposé being used *inside* of Spaces; they simply showed how easy it was to view all your desktops and move apps between them. If you have cluttered desktops (even using Spaces), being able to invoke Exposé from this Spaces desktops view is icing on the cake.

virtuedesktop can not interoperate with exposé
and has dozens of tiny problems with usability (switching applications between docks and so on)

but it brings multi-desktop now. of course.

do you think you would be able to mirror windows in different spaces?
