My Top 5 Leopard Niggles
1) TimeMachine won’t recognise AFP Network drives
This is a shocker. There is no way I want to have to connect a USB or Firewire drive to each of my Macs, especially not my laptops. Hopefully I’ve found a work-around to this problem, but it’s far from ideal, as it’s not supported, so could well go wrong.
2) The translucent menu bar
It looks really rubbish, reduces usability, and increases eyestrain. It looks really really really rubbish with some background images, so greatly reduces your choice of suitable wallpaper.
3) The 3D Dock
With reflections and shadows all over the place, and only a tiny little glowing dot to indicate active applications. Luckily there’s a hack to switch it back to 2D.
4) The white highlight under text in toolbars/menus
Looks rubbish; gives me headaches. The contrast is just too high between the text and highlight.
5) The way stacks are displayed in the Dock
The Stack for my home folder has an Applications Folder at the bottom, so looks like it’s the stack for my applications. Other stacks are sorted by most recent file, so a different icon is shown every time a new file is added. Bloody ludicrous!
