Couple years ago I recreated Classic Mac OS progress and indeterminate progress bars with Core Animation. I really need to find a project to use them in! 😁
Also, the barber pole style indeterminate progress bars were just sooooo “Macintosh.”
I hope everyone has a great day except the person who decided to remove them from modern macOS. Ugh.
I know this is just a highlight color and not the accent color, but Apple needs to bring this back for Accent Colors -- There needs to be a Graphite accent color too. They replaced it with basic Grey and it's not the same.
Grey colored controls often look disabled.
Also this is just a #Graphite Aqua appreciation post. It's just gorgeous.
I feel like Apple got rid of NSDrawer because it would pretty much break with full-screen functionality... at least this is my thinking.
But they could have kept them for apps that don't support full screen and have a max size much smaller than the size of your display. They're still hella useful and cute.
Small moment of pride, I finally managed to write Swift code that decodes QuickDraw regions. The current code is super inefficient, but works.
I found a test image that uses non square regions instead of bitmaps, you can see the difference in rendering between my code and the Preview Application of Mac OS X.
When I’m on my Mac and need to look at an email there’s a deep part of my brain that usually says, so briefly that it’s usually unnoticed, “Then I must switch to Mail”.
But occasionally I catch it saying, “Then I must switch to Eudora.”
@philgyford Modern Mac OS X/macOS is how old, now? 20+ years? Caught myself a few months ago mousing up to the top-right corner of my screen to open the Classic Mac OS 9 Application Switcher. Um… what? #BrainsAreWeird#Apple#MacOSX#macOS#ClassicMacOS
Oh f-me. Things I didn't expect from #MacOSX. Just printed something to review, and ALL the text just came out as boxes. It displayed perfectly fine in both Preview and the printer preview, but majorly failed to print useful information.
Likely due to the Sonoma upgrade. When I first did the upgrade, I go some weird error message saying I needed to contact the printer manufacturer for updated drivers, but a little bit of clicking and that error went away.
22 years ago on September 25, 2001, Apple released Mac OS X 10.1, code-named Puma. This release addressed many of the issues found in the initial Mac OS X version (Cheetah).
It introduced many features that were missing from the previous version such as performance enhancements, easier CD and DVD burning, DVD playback support, more printer support (200 printers supported out of the box), faster 3D and much more
