Just found this great little software that will make the menu bar in Leopard non-transparent. Now if only I can find a tool that swaps out the new dock for the old one. I am seriously not liking Leopard. [Link]

I have had 4 problems since i upgraded.
1. I can’t empty the trash anymore , its refusing to delete them.
2. it doesnt re-connect to hidden wirless lans, you need to make new connection everytime.
3. it is slower to load.
4. its slower to resume from standby

(Now I shall be flamed by Apple Lovers)
These are minor problems which will be worked out!
There’s a widget that changes the dock back to 2D.
sure leopard is slower (my machine is a Powerbook G4). But its a pretty cool OS and its going to get better.
Geek solution: Make software that changes the opaqueness of the bar.
Simple solution: Make a background with a white bar on top.
Simple by design.
Keep it simple.
…moshaaay im plannin to upgrade this weekend! have to think twice abt it noow!!? : /
well i am going to be reformating my macbook and installing tiger again, thats how much i have started to dislike leopard
What other things you didn’t like about Leopard? Just to inform those people who didn’t upgrade yet, and can’t wait to get their hands on the new OS.
well my biggest complaint is the speed. It seems slower and jerkier on both my Macbook and my dual 2ghz G5 at work. Another issue is the networking, connecting to other comptuers on the network is more complicated and uglier.
Overall though i think its the same as fadis issue, system is slower, its slower to boot up and slower to wakeup from sleep.
Terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean yes
killall Dock
i kinda like leopard .. i have a 3gig of ram in my macbook pro so i dont see the lag except with the dock .. to remove the new glassy dock, type this in the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
killall Dock
and to get it back, type this :
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO
killall Dock
i already removed the glossy dock ages ago but the 2d one is ugly when you scale it down cuz the outline of it doesn’t scale
Sorry Mark But i totally disagree with u i had Leopard for over a Month now And its getting better and better everyday the only thing which become harder is imovie Darn i cant create any movies anymore but all the guys and gals with Tiger i have a thing 2 say U have 2 Get leopard its So Nice…((anyone wants 2 Try it Out Just ask Me))
