Apple’s Leopard Has Ugly Spots
July 12, 2007 by jritch
I really like Apple products. I think Apple does a great job marketing to a specific user base and due to that they have sparked timeless loyalty among their fans. That being said, I was not impressed with the Leopard feature set when it was revealed. Apple is trying too much to copy Windows Vista with their latest OS release. Adding random transparency and glowy effects is the job of MS developers. And what happens when Apple tries to copy Windows? OSX gets ugly. Here are some of the big gripes that some users have had with the current release of Leopard.
This massive drop shadow obstructs windows
Glowy dots look cheesy
A lame attempt to implement Aero
Powder blue accents along with transparency? That’s just ugly
