10.5: Partially tame Time Machine's warping background
Authored by: stokessd on Nov 09, '07 03:08:14PM

I find the whole space theme too cheesy and "trekkie" for my tastes. I got rid of the login background and I'm currently playing with the TM background.

This OS release is much more forward in the styling department. The window elements are subtle in this release, but the default backgrounds are LOUD. Where's the soothing Aqua Blue? It's front and center in my machine with that silly space background in bit nirvana.

I agree with the above posters, this release seems to have turned the corner on the "eye candy" front. It's like the XP disney theme, sure you can use it, but why would you want to? There's nothing that improves your life or productivity with it. Translucent menubar and menus do nothing but make it harder to see your target. Lots of UI designs seem to be bad ones done just for the sake of being showy.

I guess I'm just a crusty old guy now...

Sheldon
