OSX Lion Thread

[jam.]

Is there an option to not display my username in the tool bar?

I couldn't find an option to remove it, so just dragged it off (apple key, right click, and drag your name off the toolbar)

edit: or you could just do the above..

Lol i don't have that option where you say it is?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It's there, I just did it form reading that post.

settings - users and groups - login items - show fast switching .. turn it off

 

[Munson]

FFS it's meant to be a Lion thread, not an OSX n00btard thread.

 

[James.]

Yes System Preferences, Users & Groups, Login Options and deselect Show fast user switching menu.

Lol i don't have that option where you say it is?

See edition in bold.

Cheers for that.

Only last thing thats bugging me is I used to do 4 finger swipe down for desktop. Now its you have to spread your thumb which it doesn't always recognise.

LOL @ this hero postage. Anyone would think its massively different.

What i would like is smart scrolling like ios seems to manage. Why do i need to use two fingers?

 

[Munson]

It is though. It's a whole new way to navigate your mac.

Anyone elses steam busted?

Fine here, although I haven't started a game yet, but the main console bit is fine.

 

[Munson]

Anyone elses steam busted?

Yes. Mine is bricked. Says it can't connect.

EDIT: Yes Lion killed it.

 

[The Ironist]

i personally thing the gestures are epic.

the only thing i wish i could do was 2 finger swipe between finder windows .. then it would be perfect

Check out bettertouchtool, you can set custom gestures so you could choose one for cmd+` that only operates when using finder.

I use it to change songs on iTunes and just set one up so I can use my thumb and little finger to change tabs on Safari.

[Munson]

[eugegall]

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Click on Login Options in the bottom left

Oh you xx

 

[Munson]

FMPSL!

Can't believe Steve bricked Steam

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

What issues are you having with Steam? Mine seems to be fine.

 

[Munson]

Also I thought I had cracked this scrolling but now I'm going the wrong way again. f**k you Steve!

I wish you would start speaking English

 

[Munson]

What issues are you having with Steam? Mine seems to be fine.

Tried logging in, failed 3-4 times. Then it opened up but wanted me to login. Then it crashed and now it won't open. The icon just bounces up and down in the dock indefinitely.

 

[Munson]

As a side note, the Launchpad icon makes me want to rub it

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Just loaded mine up fine. (again)

It did beach ball midway through, but eventually opened up fine.

 

[Munson]

Also just noticed that the dock icons have a shadow behind them on the desktop. Subtle but definitely new.

EDIT: That shadow fades as the icon zooms to the foreground. Such amazing attention to detail.

 

[The Ironist]

Its not there, I'm not f**king stupid

Can this be deleted?

Mine:

I don't know why iTunes Helper is there, I don't start iTunes on Login.

Also, have I got something wrong, does it only save your current state if restarting and not if you fully shutdown?

 

[Munson]

Mine has stopped bouncing but won't launch the app. The only options are Force Quit. It's dead.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

hmmm not sure what's causing that then. Mine's definitely fine.

 

[Tom]

After about 5 restarts everything works. Oh and Lion has this iOS style autocorrect. Its ace, i can type like a dick and it corrects it all.
Gone back to safari too, much nicer than chrome at the moment.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Really liking the multiple desktop idea, will make it easier when I'm editing photos. As I can have Bridge open in one monitor, Photoshop in the other. Then when I want to go to a webpage, swipe to the next desktop and voila! Then swipe back to editing, and I don't have to close/minimise programs.

Definitely a leap forward for the OS.

 

[Munson]

Dumped Steam in the trash. Downloaded it again. Seems fine now.

Chrome is s**t. Always has been. despite being awesome, it's always felt like a beta, and it hasn't even been updated to work with Lion. Fail.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

So to clarify, my MBP with a windows NTFS partition - I should avoid updating for the moment?

Someone needs to write an app that syncs all your browsers together. Thats the main reason i use chrome as its like a continuous client between my work PC (XP Pro) and My mac

No not really. Depends on what you have installed to handle NTFS. I had MASSIVE problems with MacFuse that took several hours to sort out. If you don't have any drivers installed then you'll be fine. Paragon NTFS also gives you flawless write ability under Lion.
