Snow Leopard to bring updated UI?

I hope so - it's about time. The same was rumored prior to 10.5, IIRC.

The bubblegum Aqua UI looks gash. It's rooted in matching the old monstrosities, not the contemporary models. Thank god for the graphite modifier, but the entire style badly needs a refresh.

(I'm aware that pin-stripe is mostly gone by now)

I would say its more like a windows service pack.

That's why it's going to be free

I think it will be (or a token charge) but I don't have any proof

How do you mean?

Yeah - the mouse acceleration business is dire.

I can do without some Mighty Mouse using idiot in Apple HQ hard-coding what (s)he decrees as best.

Meh, was hoping as i'd given them near a thousand of my hard-earned pounds that i'd get a full upgrade to SL free of charge.

Why? The money paid for what you got.

I can't understand why they went backwards and gave Leopard those drab blue folder icons.

What was wrong with the folder icons in Tiger?

Because they realised that the bubble-gum coloured transparent look was dated and looked gash. Now they need to put their foot down and flush all of it away. Like pin-stripe.

As long as they turn off mouse acceleration off I'll be happy...
