al of these can be found on deviantart except the pidgin theme, which can be found on art.gnome.org ,and firefox addons site for the firefox theme.

A Focus, it did fit in just surprised me I almost had to take the seats down.

Quote from simscube :

Umm...not rFactor, I'm pretty sure thats Forza Motorsport 2, especially with the watermark in the bottom left hand corner

Anyway, here is my new desktop:

again, I'm still running XP, it's just another (much harder to install) pack of apps that make it look like mac os, except I never have issues with it crashing

there was a link on his desktop saying rFactor, near Limewire pro

What's it like? I'm not really sure if I actually like the new look or if it will run well on my G4 (or actually at all on PPC?)

Wow! Getting Daddy to buy you an expensive graphics card then boast about it on an internet forum is so cool

Yer I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it but it definately is. There are just so many little things that make everything smooter, quicklook for example is for me, phenomally useful. I would say it's quite hard to list the things that make it better, which is why it's quite hard to see why you'd want to upgrade, but you really have to use it to find out why, perhaps have a go in an Apple shop.

I too didn't like the reflective dock or transparent taskbar from the screenshots, but they're nice touches when you're actually using it. Nothing massively special or new, just nice.

Performance seems a lot smoother than Tiger too, coverflow for example doesn't lag at all even with a lot of files in a directory. I'd say you'd be ok on a G4, I have a friend with an iBook G4 so I'll ask him how he finds it.

Call me a mac fanboy (and I'm sure some people will) but having really only just started using a mac a few weeks ago, I actually feel stressed when trying to use windows again. Vista is truely piss poor in comparison, in fact you really can't compare the productivity between them, Leopard flows whereas Vista just makes things difficult, every time. I now do all my work on the mac, and literally just use Vista for playing games, seems like a waste of money really, never know, I might sell the PC - but then Crysis makes me want to buy a 2nd graphics card lol.

Couple of negative things I've found with Leopard, Mail seems a little unstable atm, I expect that'll be updated soon, and I can't seem to run an FTP server as easily as in Tiger - the client machine think's it requires a password, which I don't have set.

Other than those, it really is worth the (tiny in comparison to Vista) £85 (I paid £76 with educational discount). Plus my free tshirt for being at the front of the queue on friday night increases my public geekiness levels tenfold

....annnnnnnnnnnnd we're back on topic..

Just gave my desktop a clean up, I had over 40 shortcuts.

Just Gave my desktop a clean-up as well

@Harjun no offense but stop feeling smug about your pc there are ppl with better pc's than can outrun your pc i mean your dads pc :P

pb, I'll be installing leopard tomorrow, after using the developer builds loads, which was nice, so I've used leopard quite a bit, and the big thing that I miss coming back from leopard to tiger, really is spaces.

pb, I'll have Leopard on an iBook tomorrow too, with 1 GB Ram, along with my iMac on leopard too.


Currently, this is what my OSX desktop looks like

Too bad the BG changes every... 5 seconds
