Are you one of those Mac buffs who’s waiting to catch a glimpse of the much-hyped Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard? Voila! I dug out an extensive screenshot gallery of the latest Snow Leopard 10.6 distributed at this week’s Apple developers conference. The screeshot provide a clue of Apple’s polished operating system that is receiving its final touches. The screenshots were published in MichealFlux.com. It’s quite interesting to see the modification in interface and other enhancements incurred throughout the software and its applications. To make things easier for you, we picked an assortment of relevant shots from the gallery. Each shot is followed by its description.
- One of the features long awaited in Mac OS X is that the Stacks displayed in grid view will allow you to jump from one folder to another without ever having to leave the Stack. Apple seems to have added a new button at the top-left corner that allows the user to easily jump back to the parent directory, or the Applications folder as show in the shots that follow.
- The Icons for Folder Actions Setup have been relocated to the Finder contextual menu.
- The Desktop & Screen Saver control panel only offers thumbnails of Desktop Pictures that are in view, preserving the system resources and cutting on the lag.
- Make a note out of the selected text. Have it spoken out loud and added to iTunes from Safari’s contextual menus
- Mail renders IMAP mail indexes are reported. These advances are visible in a clean install of Mac OS X in which Mail’s database is largely empty.
- The VoiceOver Utility has been enhanced with a sleek new interface that takes the design cues from AirPort Utility.
- The AirPort menu in the menu bar exhibits the signal strength of all the available wireless networks
- Look at the new, elegant new QuickTime X interface
- New Contact Sheet and Annotation view modes
Earlier this week, Apple announced that it will make Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard available in September as a $29 upgrade for all owners of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

The user interface is what I’ve always loved about Mac. I can’t really tell the difference because the screen shots are a bit unclear, but the changes did to QuickTime was good. |
