Leopard - no loading screen thing?

Spitfir3 · 25 Feb 2008 at 16:21

Hey,

Since I installed Leopard a while ago I've always noticed after the grey apple logo there's no loading screen thing.. just goes to a blue background before loading the desktop background and then the toolbars etc.

Is this normal or do this or am I missing something? Would look nicer if it had something rather than just a blue background.

Cheers

On my mini, its always been the grey apple with a spinning circle below it and then straight to desktop.

it is normal - it just hangs on a blue screen for a bit then cuts to desktop. I have a login screen so I don't get it anymore

Ah right, yeah forgot to put that when I had tiger it used to show a logo with a progress bar etc there.

I find it better without the loading screen, really impressed me when I first loaded up Leopard on my iBook. Boy it was fast...

As in when you turn on - there's the "derrrm~" noise? Turn your volume off (without any speaker output plugged in, then plug in after to adjust volume if you use speaker)

That is the noise I wanted turning off, Well i was hoping for a hidden option like in windows to disable it

I don't see any problem on my side, since I've turned it off and don't use the internal speakers - it worked a charm when I'm in the library and turning on the laptop.

When I'm home, just plug in speakers and viola~ sound without the need to adjusting the volume up - that's one feature I like about OS X as compared to a Windows laptop I've used before.
