“Apple on Thursday evening delivered to developers a new build of its forthcoming Snow Leopard operating system that addresses a number of outstanding bugs but also delivers a couple of interface tweaks,” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider.

“The new build, labeled 10A402a, weighs in at roughly 1.3GB and was distributed via Snow Leopard’s Software Update mechanism. It’s the second such build to arrive in that manner in as many weeks, signaling ongoing tests to the new version of the system’s automatic software updater,” Marsal reports.

“The Dock’s contextual pop-up menus [have been] re-skinned in a charcoal motif with white text,” Marsal reports.
