To clarify two minor misconceptions here: - Translucent UI elements do not cost CPU cycles. They are rendered on the GPU, and to the GPU, changing opacity is basically free.


Okay, so it's free. I still find it distracting. ;-)

- Icon sizes can now go much larger than 128x128 in Leopard.

That's what I thought, but when I tried to set the size in a Finder window the slider maxed out at 128. How do I make them larger? In any case, my default is to use icon previews at 128. That's fine for all of my other icons, and I'd prefer to not have to go larger just to compensate for something like borders and shadows I don't need or particularly want.

 Transparent
windows, menus, and menu bar serve no purpose beyond wasting CPU
cycles for gratuitous iCandy, and the background is distracting. On
the bright side, at least with the menu bar I can create custom
desktop pictures with a 22-pixel high strip of white along the
top. ;-) Also, Finder icon previews of graphic files in Leopard now
have a white border and a shadow. Looks cute, but the image in the
icon preview is 26 pixels smaller in each direction in a 128-pixel
icon, which means noticeably less detail, and that makes them less
useful to me.
