Leopard Upgrade!

So I’ve upgraded to Leopard. First of all, yes - the publicly announced features are cool. Time Machine, Spaces, Quick Look, yep, they’re cool. But everyone is writing about those, so why should I bother? So here’s Brandon’s (ongoing?) thoughts about what has changed in Leopard:

Finder - I can hit return to change a file name, and it automatically selects everything BEFORE the extension! About freaking time!

Dashboard - They took away my Calendar widget! And if I install the Tiger one, it breaks! Why?!

Spaces - Application bindings are kinda flaky. Adium doesn’t like to stick to “All Windows”, especially when I move between external displays.

Dock - I’m torn on this. The ridiculous shadows on the 3D shelf suck, but I don’t care for the other one either. So for now, I’m sticking with the 3D one.

Menu Bar - Not a real big fan of the translucent menu bar. Anyone have a way to get it back to normal yet?
