Latest Leopard Visual Tweaks and Intro Movie
The latest Mac OS 10.5 Leopard seed that was released on Friday to developers has introduced a number of notable visual tweaks to the operating system. Notes and screenshots have been gathered from public forums which reveal the improvements found in the latest version of Mac OS X Leopard.
iCal's icon reflects today's date
- The Welcome Video to Mac OS X 10.5 now has a new audio track and has been posted (link updated) to YouTube. (iTunes link to the song as noted by mycintosh)
- iCal's Dock icon now reflects the current date when iCal is not running (image)
- New Desktop images (1, 2)
- New Spaces Icon (image)
- Front Row has its own icon (image) and seems identical to Apple TV
- Menus and dialog sheets now overlay with a translucent filter, allowing you to see a hint of the underlying windows.
- Screen sharing "finally works right" and seems very fast at full resolution
- More user interface consistency across the operating system
- Gallery of screenshots
Many of the screenshots from this InsanelyMac thread.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is available for preorder at Amazon.

One of the desktop pics exceeded bandwidth, anyone got a mirror yet?
The new music doesn't fit with the video as well, I think...

That intro vid cannot be real....the older music was soooo much better.
It's real.

99% chance it's a feature of the Dock and not a direct feature of iCal, so no.

It looks like the Tiger music in Leopard's Welcome Video was just a place holder. I like the new music. :D
