I can't get to that second one.

By the way here is the chat that I had with Trent.

Hmm....oops I just gave away my actual name! Oh well.

proven fake

conclusion:

These screenshots are very easy to fake... it is hard to find mistakes because it shows almost nothing that is not already in 10.2. Too bad the author forgot that 10.3 is a maor new version and such a version will need new features to sell. Not to mention that the OS X UI itsef needs much work, none of which is visibly being done here.

This image is definetly guaranteed fake.

I thought they just changed the gamma or something, but the color of the Finder logo in the About is the same as mine.

So what's up with THAT? Given how crappy the rest of the fake looks, you think think the fake would take the time to make a darker-blue X logo to match the darker-blue menu highlight?

Food for thought.

I had thought that too, "why is it a bit darker," but then I figured that it could have been changed to speed up the download process.

Making the file a quick .jpg download in ImageReady wouldn't change the overall color, unless it was saved as a .gif file first. As a .gif, you have the ability to get the file to have a selective color table.

Is it too much trouble for a few files? Perhaps. And maybe it is also just a janitor's sloppy job at what he saw at work. Who is to say?

I'm still excited. Aren't you? :D

If you aren't... uh, maybe you're in the wrong forum, eh? Using the wrong platform, even? ;)

OK, but you CANNOT use photoshop, or any other image manipulation program, to generate ANY graphics, because that was what i said. it doesn't matter if you photoshop the screenshot or the base images, there is no getting around that you have to edit the base image or images in some way to get that interface, and this can easily be faked, if you have the manipulator, and project builder won't let you just magically "make" the images that you need.

You can screenshot the images and send them to that site though. More than likely if I was going to do it I'd use both Project Builder and PS. PS just to combine a couple of screenshots so that you couldn't see that I was using Project Builder.

Also in another thread that when using grab the pointer disapered, then how come there isn't any grab icon in the dock. To my knowlege there is no way to get rid of that unless you used PS. Hey and if it's possible i wouldn't mind knowing how.

Command + Shift + 3, you dont need Grab to take a screenshot

Not to say fake or real, but I do have one question about the pile pic-

Why are only 2 of the documents in the pil gryed [selkected]? I don't think the pile would allow each icon in the pile to be individually selected as they are all generic icons. Seems strange to me.

Great Adobe trickery. whoever made these gave me a great laugh. to think that he got people to believe that they were legit kills me. I wish I would have thought of it. I know photoshop and screenshots like this! dang.

a thank you...
right, but it's cmd-shift-3 if you have snapz pro X, which comes with most macs, as far as i have seen. it's a really cool program.

eh shadow, it is also Cmd-shift-3 for the whole screen without snapz pro. cmd-shift-4 brings up a cross hair to make a selection capture. I said this in my other post but it seems to be ignored. Anyway, I'm only being pedantic , lol

:confused: ah, that's what i thought, actually, but i don't use it. i like the features on Snapz too much. thanks for the correction; there's nothing wrong with a bit of pedantry!

Okay, whether or not these screenshots are fake, they, in conjunction with the "rotary dial" mouse got me thinking...

Could another function of this mouse design be to "sort" through a pile on a desktop? You click (or mouseover, whatever) on a pile, the files display themselves in this circular arrangement, and then you "spin" you dial around to get to the file you want.

Makes sense to me...

Yeah Snapz is cool, It came with my MDD but I don't really use it much cos I never really need to make screenshots. I suppose I could use the movie feature to show people how to do stuff.

Anyway, this is way off topic, charlie, thats a real good point. Although It would be a bit silly for apple to make everyone buy a new mouse just to be able to use a feature on panther, although it would probably increase the mouse's uptake. I know that as soon as the mouse comes out i'll be buying it.

Don't forget my favorite- cmd-shift-4+spacebar to bring up a camera that takes a picture of an open window. Hit esc if you don't want it! - j

Photoshop is my friend too! Something like this is not dramatic enough for the hype surrounding panther. Besides, I would expect something a little more visually inviting than those shots.

JMHO

WORD TO THAT...all of this "this letter is a half a pixel farther away than the same letter in this word..blah blah blah" is making me sick. by your measurements, i can go to my file menu in safari right now and tell you the the 'e' in Open File... looks further away than the 'e' in the File header.

Um, but if you took a screen shot and counted pixels you'd see they aren't. "Pile" in the screenshot is kerned differently than "File".

While this may be a bug in 10.3's menu display subsystem which is somehow not evident in the other screenshot menu items, it would be a rather strange bug indeed. Another "bug/missed detail" is the pinstriping on the menu. If there were indeed an item between "New Folder" and "Open" the pinstripe at the bottom of Open (which just overlaps the bottom of the letters) would be just below the bottom of the letters, as you see in "Open With". The pinstriping is not an even divisor of the font size, so you can tell when someone photoshops a menu by just pulling the original menu items down one.

On the other hand, why would someone go through the trouble of photoshopping a menu bar, instead of just using Interface Builder to make a (100% genuine) menu bar with that one extra item thrown in? It's not like the application name is even shown in that menu shot! I mean, if this isn't an odd 10.3 menu display bug, then these guys are pretty bad hacks!

I don't know. I do know that the build number looks way off, and that the menu kerning is a little off, and that the "Piles" graphic is extraordinarily untidy and frankly disgusting (but that last can always happen during the dev cycle ... a feature will often be put in without the full UI pretty-up job having been done).

IMHO: fake. But, as has been said, we'll see in June.

My intuition says I'm right, yer all wrong and this idea of you tryin' to teach me stuff is all bass-ackwards!

Now, leave me alone! ;)

If you don't... well, hah! Maybe I want you to bug me! But we'll never know, will we?!?!?! :D
