Lion OSX Official Discussion Thread

Not that its REALLY official or anything but...

Problems/Annoying Things:

-No shortcut into launchpad

-Cannot run .NET framework programs (i.e. Paint.NET) but thats with all macs  tongue

-Scrollbars only show when scrolling

Really Great New Features

-Built in iPad!!! Well... they called it launchpad  tongue

-Full Screen Apps -- as a former windows user, this is really handy... although it doesn't work with all apps

Multiple desktops, go into mission control, go to the top right corner, and you'll see a tab. Click it and you have a whole new clean desktop! And you can have a different background on it!

Neutral Features (Not good or bad)

-Reversed scrolling... to make it like an iPad... I still need to get used to it  tongue

Oh, and if this is a duplicate topic, tell me so I can delete this topic...

No, I meant with the scrollbar, when roll the scrollbar up, the page moves down... go to an Apple store here and try it! And the scrollbars usually only show when scrolling  hmm

Re: Lion OSX Official Discussion Thread

Actually, Launchpad isn't the iPad simulator, gbear- Launchpad is a brand new app that lists all your other apps in an iOS-like way. It's not really a built-in iPad, though.  tongue

Ok, but there is a built in iPad witht he iOS dev pack, so I thought you meant that.  Also, the reverse scrolling is only with the magic trackpad.

I'm using the magic mouse and it's the same... maybe you unchecked the scroll direction - natural in system preferences  hmm

Re: Lion OSX Official Discussion Thread

Problems/Annoying Things:

● Glitchy
● Looking at Windows PCs over network is harder.
● New Mail app is much worse.
● Auto-spell-correction gets annoying.  A lot.
● Scroll bar looks terrible; what was wrong with the old one?
● iPads are just fine, but they're tablets, and should stay tablets.  Macs are not tablets.
● You can't rearrange the different screens in Mission Control.

Really Great New Features:

● Nothing.  It lags, too.  I want Snow Leopard back.

Neutral Features:

● None.  They're all bad.  Firefox gestures don't work, either, anymore.

Glitchy? Install the updates as they come along, and remember to complain to apple

I don't need to look at other computers over a network  hmm

I haven't tried the old mail app but I'm enjoying the new one  big_smile

Spell correct can be annoying, and all the vowels show up umlauts and stuff when you hold them instead of repeating.

iPads are fun!  big_smile

That is true... I hope that comes out later on  hmm

It doesn't lag... and I'm with the iMac base model  big_smile
