Mac OS 10.7 Lion - Wishlist

Bad idea. For one thing, scroll bars give you an idea of how long the document is. Maybe disappearing scroll bars would be great. Not every mouse has a scroll wheel either (though 99% do).
Something like iOS has would be great. And for those who do not have a scroll wheel, there could be an option to bring back the old scroll bars.
Three vertical buttons take up less space horizontally than three horizontal buttons?
In other words, which takes up less horizontal space:
+
+
+
or
+++
Which layout gives a thinner top bar?
- Buy Alfred and build it into the OS
- Much faster/thinner OS, Snow Leopard was the beginning. Hopefully more optimizations are in place for Lion, drop 32bit requirement and go 64bit from now on.
- Revamp Finder again to use multiple threads for the network shares, so that UI is not frozen when the network share is slow to respond
- Window snaps (w7 style, drag a window to the side to resize it)
- Live Actions/Quick look for dock items
- Overhaul of the entire GUI, no more aqua stuff, no blue scrollbar.
- iOS based dashboard
It removes the top bar where there is usually the title.
Just look at the old iTunes and the new iTunes 10.
I understand by the look that the vertical buttons would take up more space but it goes along the border thickness and removes the title bar.
Hopefully you understand.
It may well be a mountain lion. In which case I'd call 10.7, Cougar. Cougar probably also sounds better than Lion & leaves that option for 10.8.
Why go to 10.8. what would you name 10.9?
I think they are ending the OS X 10 and getting ready to head into 11 which I believe would be a touch responsive OS so because of that they want to name this new OS X 10.7 Lion showing that this is the end of OS X 10.
To be able to make toast of course.
Slightly more serious note we need it to be more snappy and everything just needs to look nice because then it's nice to use (usually anyway)

The new cat code obviously looks like some kind of Lion. Does that really mean the last OS X, before 11? Maybe, but not necessarily.
I'm saying there are options still without getting to the King cat yet. You may be right, but I stick with Cougar for 10.7, maybe Liger for 10.8, leaving the top cat (Lion) for 10.9 & a fitting end to 0S X, before OS 11 & a whole new series of code names. We'll know soon enough.

Tigers are the largest cats, but that's already taken. And "some kind of lion" isn't really accurate. A Mountain Lion is the same exact animal as Cougar, Panther, and Puma.
And OS XI will obviously be named after dog species /mhm.
OS XI Black Lab
lol
How about more functionality with safari tabs? You might have 5, 6, 7 tabs and the name might be too long to read or it would take a while to choose which one you want with so many. Maybe Apple could introduce an expose for the tabs right inside the safari window.
Also, scrollable fan stacks and make the grid icons in stacks smaller. I have a 13' macbook pro and the grid stacks take up nearly half the screen. It's insane!
Other than that, Mac OS X is just fine for me. I guess they'll surprise me on Wednesday.

Citation, please. Which "Apple experts" have been complaining about Snow Leopard?

On the contrary, the version after MacOS X 10.9 will be MacOS X 10.10, followed by MacOS X 10.11 and MacOS X 10.12.

Customization PLEASE!
I've also posted this on other threads, but I'd really like a black interface such as that in Quicktime X. For me it looks pretty good. Or even better, customizable UI for everyone.
Better graphics and gaming performance to lure developers to make more games for the mac.
Faster and better updates.
Better design of dock for space and ease of use.
Better Safari.
Redesign of iTunes icon (I think is terrible).
OpenCL and OpenGL improvements.
New iLife.
Better Graphics performance.
Cool desktop themes/wallpapers.
3D desktop interface.
And some new thrilling features.

i'd love to see a lot of what you guys have been talking about, but for me my biggest day to day gripe of Snow Leopard is not being able to right click a file/folder in a stack and get a context menu appear, therefore making it impossible to find a file in a stack and copy/paste it somewhere else!
