Hold ctrl+opt+cmd and press B while in Launchpad to cycle through the settings.

Full blur

Previews

I'm sure that these preview icons for the screensaver choices are new in system preferences; if not, I still think they're lovely, very crisp.

Yeah they just added them in DP4 last week but it's one screensaver missing called shatter.

there is a thing bothering me,
if I close any program in full screen mode,
when I reopen it, it opens in a normal window.
but i don't remember this happening in previous dps.
Is there any solution?

 

[antmarobel]

You have to restore the install ESD.dmg inside the contents of the installer app. (Right click-->Show package contents.)

I think this is new. There is now a gutter that appears when you make the scrollbar bigger by hovering over it:

not working that way, like I said, it always give a error message...

Anyone know the exact date in July it's released?

Anyone know the exact date in July it's released?

Only Apple.

 

[Takuro]

Anyone know the exact date in July it's released?

I'd reckon July 1st. I have a feeling the OS is basically ready to ship out as it is now. DP4 feels like a finished product.

Unlikely. They'll release a GM first.

 

[MikhailT]

Most likely July 27th. Apple likes releasing at the end of the month and on Fridays.

There are still 2-3 weeks of more developing/optimizing left.

Will I get free copies of Mountain lion for all my macs?

I bought a new macbook air yesterday, so that means I am entitled to get a free copy of Mountain lion on my new macbook air.

But what about the other mac devices I have? How does this free os distribution work?

If I'm not mistaken, once you ask for a free copy of Mountain Lion for one of your Macs you'll have to log in to your Apple ID through the Mac AppStore and download it. Then in your other Macs, just log in with the same Apple ID and go to your purchased history, voila!

Wrong thread guys. This isn't a support thread it's about finding new little features for the OS. Try some of the other threads for support please.

wow why did my comment get so many negatives only asking

 

[Can't Stop]

Because they think they are too smart to aswer such a question. I personally think they are douchebags.

 

[RoelJuun]

@ Tom2893: How about you read the comment by nuckinfutz.

OT:
Can someone check whether you're finally able to add the address of address book contacts in Calendar in the location information? Now you have to type the full address, it would be much easier if you'd type the name of the person and an option to use the address from an address book contact.

Wifi is super slow.

Check your connection. Mine is super fast and can go beyond 50Mbps easily.

Smart Cards

Does anyone know if ML will support the use of Smart or CAC cards? Lion doesn't, but SL and L did.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but in the mac app store you can now do the gesture to go back (like in chrome and safari)

I love this new feature
