Mac OS X Lion: 'Classic' Mail View Available, Video of Finder
We've compiled a couple of more notes of interest on the Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
- Classic Mail: While Apple is pushing the new iPad-inspired Mac OS X Lion Mail application, we've learned that Apple also offers a "Classic Layout" checkbox in the Mail settings which reverts the interface back to the familiar Mail interface.
- Finder: AppleInsider posts this video which shows Lion in action (embedded above). It demonstrates new Finder features including:
- Overlay Scrollbars
- Window Resizing from any edge/corner
- Enhanced Finder Source list
- Enhanced Quick View
- Zoom button behavior
Apple launched the developer preview of Mac OS X Lion on Thursday. The public release is expected this summer. We've opened a Mac OS X Lion forum for questions and discussion about Apple's new operating system.

this is a wonderful example of how extremely manipulative apple is. notice that on windows it has always been possible to resize windows on every corner? an notice, that most windows on windows can be fullsize?
well, i still remember very clearly how bad this is, it confuses the user... no one needs fullscreen... windows is bad, because the apple concept of only resizing on the bottom right corner is more logical bla bla bla.
and what is the new INNOVATION now???

I dislike hidden scrollbars very, very much.
I'm with you.
I kinda like the one corner resizing. It seems better and less easy to accidentally resize a window. Anyone with me on that one? Plus you don't get those ugly double arrowed cursors.
although, maybe it is just because I am used to it.:apple:

In the beginning it looked like there were only 12 apps in that folder... How are you supposed to know if there is more than what can fit in the window if the scroll bar disappears??? Stupid move if you ask me. This isn't a phone OS where screen realestate is lacking.

:D I'm loving Lion its an awesome build and very stable to be honest, unlike snow leopard builds of the past:D

I'm loving the new Mail, had no issues with it so far.
The finder is growing on me.
Also, is there any way I can get 'Devices' back to the top of the sidebar list?
But so far, Lion is pretty good.
I'm even using Safari in full screen mode right now ;-)

This build is a memory hog which easily eats up 3GB RAM. I'm lucky to have a 4GB RAM in MBA

It runs great… just needs that claimed OpenGL 3.2 support and I'll be happy!

I'm sure someone will come up with a Terminal command to make them sticky or even similar to Snow Leopard's.

It's most likely a debug build - not fully optimized.
