Apple released their second major update for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard yesterday. Apple has done many under the hood changes and improvement resulting in a quicker and more stable OS. Though most of the feature do not directly affect user interface, there are few new addition that improve and add functionality to the user interface. The most requested feature by the users was the List and Folder view in Dock. With this update, Apple has added the Folder view for folder alias in the Dock, plus you can select list view for viewing a standard list of files, and browse through the subdirectories. So if you didn’t liked Stacks now use folder view. The second important feature is addition of Time Machine to the menu bar. This allows you to quickly start backup or enter Time Machine to recover files. Previously you couldn’t start a backup anytime you wanted, you had to wait for Time machine to start the backup that was very inconvenient if you had a laptop and used a USB drive to backup. Now that has change and you can select Back Up Now option as soon as you attach the USB drive to start the backup. Apple has also added the option that allows you to select whether you want the menu bar to be translucent or not. In Desktop and Screen Saver System Preferences you can un-check the option to make menu bar non-translucent. There are some UI functionality problems still there, but over all the updates have improved functionality, speed and stability of Mac OS leopard.
