getting better,
just need to fix the default folder icons and I'll be happy
What's wrong with them? Vast improvement over Tiger's. The whole flourishy Aqua thing was definitely getting old. More professional looking.

I'm pretty sure the default folder icons are here to stay because almost every custom folder icon has been updated.
I'm sure that once Apple puts all the little pieces together the Leopard interface will look beautiful (although I sure hope they lay off on the window shadows a bit!).

Even small things like the rounded corners on the box that pops up from right-clicking the Finder icon look very nice, very polished I suppose.

I love them.
I can see why some people might like them, but to me they look cheap and generic (almost looks like something that should be in vista)
