That's cool! I do miss the bright blue accents from the older systems. 10.5 and
10.6 (And especially iTunes 10) are a little on the monochromatic grey side...
I don't know why they still call it "aqua" since the only aqua elements left
are the traffic light buttons, and the out of place blue scroll bars. "Slate"
might be a better name.
The one element I miss the most from 10.4 is the dock. I really hate that
weird, glassy dock. I loved the elegance and simplicity of the old dock (and
the fact that it had boundaries - It feels like the 10.5-6 dock is trying to
throw your icons onto your desktop!) I use Tinkertool to disable the 3D dock on
all my computers running 10.5 and 10.6 - And all my family's computers running
it too.
I hope that in 10.7 they switch away from the pink backgrounds. I miss the old
blue swooshes. They were so elegant, and really made Macs pop. Even the new
aluminum and black Macs look a lot more classy with the 10.4 blue swoosh,
rather then the dumb pink aurora.
