Displaperture 1.0

The rounded corners actually used to be useful. Back in the old days with CRT screens, you could change the size of time image shown on your screen. The rounded corners helpd you see when the image was large enough to touch the edge of your screen; without the corners, you possibly wouldn't notice if part of the image was outside the screen's view area.

With LCDs, the rounded corners aren't needed anymore.

...but this makes OS X look more like Mac OS, not Windows.

I just wonder why people can't give it a try for a little while to see if it grows on them. It really hasn't been long enough for it to be changed back-- Give it a month and THEN decide if it's still bugging you. I just find it annoying that people are given a new interface, and the first thing they do is make it look like the old interface without giving the new one a chance.

I've used this analogy before: It's like people who order a fine gourmet meal and then cover it in salt, pepper, and ketchup, thus never knowing if they'd like the meal the way the chef prepared it.

This is almost as weird as those people who use various GUI-altering programs to make OS X look like Windows. . . .The sickos!

Personally, I love the look of Leopard. Even the new menu bar and Stacks.

Scott: "That unused space always bothered me"

And now those 5 pixels are what? The most useful part of you desktop? Are you kidding?

Also, it supports Tiger as well, as noted on their home page (and in my testing).

20 comments on this topic.... wow...... wtf????

How about disabling menu bar translucency?

We've actually just bumped this to Displaperture 1.1, fixing an issue with Spaces.

@15: exactly, the rounded corners were a homage to the history of the Mac OS. Personally, I don't much care one way or the other, but I sort of like the fact that some people do.

The rounded corners go back... well, as far as Mac OS. Its not really like it makes a difference, it is just something that has always been so. Its kinda sad that Apple would just change it because. Oh well, honestly, it was the first thing I noticed when I started up Leopard for the first time. It doesn't bother me, its just different. Oh well.
