OK, OK, this is a cheap shot, but as The Dock is virtually synonymous with OS X itself, I think this is a worthy subject in its own right.
These screen shots are from Arstechnica, saved me doing them from 2 MacBooks...
My beef is the same as the reviewer on ARS, which is that the 'preview' default on the dock icons makes them look ugly and unintuitive.
Applications Folder (Default) Leopard
Is that ugly or what? What's more there is no way to over-ride this, without using a hack.
Downloads Folder next to a Disc Image in the Dock (Leopard). Can you spot the difference?
?
So, Tiger
vs Leopard
Anyone prefer the bottom image?
This is not a Leopard bashing exercise... but neither am I some guy fresh from Vista asking 'why is it not the same'? I've been using OS X for almost 2 years (10.2 and 10.4) and this strikes me as rather an odd change.
