Don't forget spring-loaded folders!
That's because it's IN 10.2. Not in the dock, unfortunately, but all other Finder windows do it.
Don't forget spring-loaded folders!
Uhhh.. the reason the person above wonders why it was left off the list, was because when they wrote that post, in July 2001, OS 10.2 hadn't been released yet. OS 10.2 was released in August 2002.
Don't forget spring-loaded folders!
It's been in OSX since 10.2. In the Finder preferences, "General", the last option at the bottom: Spring-loaded folders and windows. Even has a slider to adjust the delay.
The Apple Menu
I've changed my "new folder" command back to command-n
Finder coloring!
Um.. Panther has labels...

Um, you'll note this post was made 6 days after jaguar was released, so Panther having labels kinda didn't help the poster in August of 2002.
Windowshade
What about windowshade!!! I know that I can (and have) buy windowshade but it only works on main windows. If I want to collapse pallettes et al I can't. That is something that I used the most that I miss. I do agree however that I would like a better way to visually see what application I'm currently in. Instead of reading "Safari" "Microsoft Word" etc. That is what the Application Menu (up in the upper right) allowed.

What do I want back from OS 9?
I want back my SPEED! With my 500 Mhz G3 PB, OS 9 ran so damned fast it made me weep. Granted, the Jag upgrade did quite a bit to make my system usable again, but nowhere near as fast as 9 was (I can't imagine those poor folks running X on a 233 Mhz Bondi iMac). Of course, if I could upgrade my 8MB ATI 128 Rage Pro card, then I could take advantage of Quartz Extreme (which of course I paid for) and all would be well -- but you can't do that with a PowerBook. Guess it's time to head back to the Apple Instant Loan page and get a G4.

I want back print window -- spring loaded folders are back now, but I still cant print them. That was a feature vital to my workflow
Things I miss from 9
There are two things that I miss from Mac OS 9: each disk having its own desktop, and having the computer tell you what disk the target of an alias is on when the disk is not mounted (that way you know what disk to put in your drive for your alias to work). If I had to pick one, though, it would probably be the alias thing.
Hide windows under the toolbar...
The thing I want most from OS9 is the ability to shove windows up under the menubar. That means grabbing them by the edges, remember how cool that was? Especially now with multiple monitors, it's a great way to hide a window from curious onlookers.
Hide windows under the toolbar...
OS 10.3.x windows can be grabbed by the edges, and dragged offscreen to left, right, or bottom, accomplishing the same thing. But true, they can't be dragged up under the menu bar.
What about Print Window
I miss the Print Window function - it came in handy when you needed to print out the contents of a cd or folder.
