Minimize to Dock Icon in Snow Leopard

I just check out the Mac OS X Snow Leopard settings and you can minimize windows into the icon in the dock, rather than to the right half of the dock. It's nice if you have one or two open windows per application, but it can get pretty uncanny if you have, say, 23 open Photoshop files.

This goes hand-in-hand with the new style of Exposé in the later builds.

Snow Leopard Wallpaper

In case you didn't know, the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's default wallpaper was called Aurora. Now, it's called Leopard Aurora, and the new Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard's default wallpaper takes the name Aurora. Very creative, Apple.

Here, I submit to you, the Leopard and Snow Leopard wallpapers (for a 15" MBP). Click for full-size.



Very subtle changes, and nice vignetting.

Another thing I noticed... Quick Look can now open in full screen mode by holding OPTION + SPACEBAR. Pretty neat.
