OS X Leopard Update

Following my previous post, I've been kindly sent an update of my current OS to Leopard... which I must say, I was pretty excited about!

Firstly, it's faster, sleeker and has a number of cool features such as the new Finder, Spaces and Time Machine (which i haven't set up yet). However, there's a problem...

OSX Leopard is not fully compatable with Adobe CS3. I've been experiencing problems with PhotoShop, but namely with InDesign which simply won't open!

So my verdict on the update? Brilliant if you just use your Mac for the net... not so good if you're a designer! So now I'll just wait patiently for an Adobe upgrade (no more print work thanks!)

Mac OS X Leopard

I can't tell you how excited I am about this.

Any feedback, anyone?

I've somehow only just discovered the impressive icon design skills of UK based FamFamFam. Single-handedly, FFF's own Mark James has created hundreds of beautiful PNG icons that have been used by the likes of Firefox and Google to name but a few. They're completely free to download, and all he asks in return is a quick linkback - which I think is fair enough considering!

I was checking out the (amazing!) website of the very talented Rainfall Daffinson when I came across a cool, but completely useless tool on their website;

The color mixer alows you to change the look and feel of the site using a PhotoShop-esque RGB selection. All without a page refresh! I'm told it's a very clever mix of JavaScript and cookies. Worth keeping an eye on this script, as it could have considerable use in a few web applications I can think of.

Internet Explorer for Mac

Although Microsoft withdrew Internet Explorer for Mac a couple of years back (because it was so awful) - it's always useful to keep for testing sites etc. Don't you miss the slick and sexy interface design? Me neither:

If you want to download the browser - visit Pure Mac. I love the way the browser doesn't even correctly display Microsoft's own MSN.com. Classic!
