According to the PDF, "Eventually, scaling factors will be a user-controlled setting."
So stealth feature now, happy lucky GUI feature later. |

Yeah, and that combined with a few other details in that document... oh my goodness the next couple of years are going to be interesting.
BTW, that's the WWDC rundown, from June. |

Is there a link to that document on any of the US-based ADC servers? I couldn't find anything last night.

No, the server simply isn't accessible. Not for some of us, at least. It looks like Moogs couldn't get to it either.

FYI, you can check out a demo of the resolution independent feature in Quartz a little less than halfway through this WWDC presentation (streaming QT). Great watch all the way through, if rather technical for me.

Really, it's just the same overview document from June at WWDC - I don't see anything in there that hasn't already been leaked elsewhere. In fact, much of it is out of date.

Kick: bummer... I thought it had descriptions of the new features that were alluded to earlier? Maybe a different ADC PDF has that... I'll get off my virtual keaster and check my free acct. for something similar. [no dice... don't see any Tiger PDFs anywhere for download] ...into the light of a dark black night.

FWIW, that crackpot John Manzione has a bunch of screenshots up of build 8A323:

Some interesting Safari menu tidbits and the More Info thing was neat though I think that's old news.

Apple's UI direction keeps getting more and more haphazard every time I see updated pictures like this. It's a sad shame. Mac OS X gave 'em a clean slate to work on regarding the interface and here they go fucking it all up far worse than the Classic Mac OS or even Windows. Sure, Apple's got big gorgeous icons and gradients and alphas and such, but none of that means a hell of a lot of none of the apps are consistent among each other.

This is related to Tiger itself and coreimage. Even though my GPU is the 5200, I am hearing at other Mac sites especially Macrumors that coreimage requires 64 MB of Vram to work. As I stated above I have the 5200 but, the vram is 32MB. Will coreimage not work entirely or will it just be slower than if my 5200 was 64 MB?

It will likely just be slower. I'm in the same position you're in. CI is functional, but it's certainly not optimal I assume a vram boost would make things somewhat more fluid.

Okay, I recompressed them as JPGs. There was no sense in wasting bandwidth on them as PNG because he'd already done something to totally kill the quality of them; they were all grainy as if passed through some dither or noise filter.

I'm pretty sure "new smooth white" = Aqua.

64mb will be the minimum vram required for the GPU to be used, and from what I've heard 128mb is what is recommended. It will also require a supported video card. --added: For example, on a eMac (which has 32mb vram), Dashboard doesn't use the ripple effect when opening a new widget. It does on the iMac G5. |

My PB with a 32MB Fx5200 Go does the ripple as well (as it should, it's in the list of supported GPUs), though slowly. As stated above, my guess is due to the lesser vram, it's not as fluid. |
