4.02.08

head of a leopard

My MacBook Pro finally runs with Leopard. Though the update ran quite seamlessly, some nuisances remain:

  • the Dock is plain ugly, on the bottom *and* on the side
  • CocoaSuite (formally CocoaGestures) is not yet Leopard compatible, fortunately a beta is available
  • ForgetMeNot somehow won't work, though supposed
  • my favourite text editor (SubEthaEdit v.2) and IM client (Fire v1.5) crashes on launch

But there are also positive changes to note:

  • the Leopard version of FrontRow is *way* better
  • the transparent MenuBar is less irritating than I had expected
  • DVD-Player, FrontRow and Quicktime are more coherent in user interface
  • PithHelmet finally works again
  • iCal icon in the Dock always shows the correct date, not only when opened
  • Time Machine is very easy to set up and use
