![]() Have you seen the amount of ranting rage under the FUP post? people need something to be genuinely angry about. We do that 24/7 under windows (well not really. and one does not spit on a free lunch.Īs selven pointed out this whole mac thing appears like a plastic world, i really miss bugs that can be fixed through a lil hack here and there. Haha, well I did say for the price I paid for it. Whether it reigns for two and a half years, like Tiger, or even longer, I’m looking forward to my time aboard starship Leopard. In the meantime, it’s the Mac development community’s opportunity to shine. The stage is set for Mac OS X 10.6 to triumph beyond the bounds of its ancestors. I hope that one day I’ll manage to write something similar comparable. I spent hours reading this review today and ingesting and trying everything. It’s (of course) John Siracusa’s review of Leopard for Ars Technica. Instead I got it in one of the most comprehensive and exhaustive reviews I’ve ever read in my life. I did not come up with this terminal incantation by myself. To have a saner dock, you only have to issue the following in a terminal: defaults write no-glass -boolean YES Luckily, making the translucent menu bar opaque is easy as there is an option for that in the Desktop & Screen Saver system preference window. Now that I have been using Leopard for a few days, I can see how wrong I was… Funnily, I resisted upgrading to Leopard for weeks as I thought that Tiger was perfect. Of course, I dislike the translucent menu bar and the new dock but I can confidently say that I am in awe at the 298 remaining enhancements. This has nothing to do with being an Apple fanboy or whatever. I have been using computers proficiently for, let’s see, around 20 years now and I am as excited with Leopard as when I first got my Commodore Amiga 500 around 1990 and I first discovered Linux around 2000. Although I'm not a developer, I deliberately haven't upgraded to Leopard from Tiger for the very reason that I don't want to screw up the apps I already have installed which I use for production purposes, at least not until I can be certain that they will all run properly.I’ve upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X 10.5 also known as Leopard. There are currently very few Mac developers in the OOo poject who have access to a Leopard Mac OSX, because these developers are nearly all volunteers and simply can't afford to go out and buy the latest version of Mac OSX just for the fun of it, with the risk of screwing up their current production systems. Blame Apple, and not OOo, for tinkering with their JVM (and their X11 environment, among other things). However, this procedure is reported as not working in Leopard. Normally, this is done by going to Tools > Options > Java, waiting a bit and then usually the Java configuration dialog will display which versions of the JVM are present on the system, and you can then select one and close the dialog, close OOo completely then restart it. OOo Aqua doesn't recognise the installed JVM that comes with Leopard, so no you can't just activate it. ![]() Bear in mind that many of the volunteers who contribute their time and effort to this site may not be native English speakers.Īnyway, back to your Leopard question. Please open a new thread/topic for each question otherwise you will probably not get an answer because it will be unclear to the casual reader what exactly your specific problem is. I downloaded OOo Aqua Alpha from the main site, and it still asks for a JRE.
