“The handsome new login screen in the update to OS X Lion Developer Preview 4, that Apple released on Wednesday afternoon (Build number 11A494A)… [is] a dark linen motif, and it’s used in several places in the Lion and iOS 5,” Leander Kahney reports for Cult of Mac.
“We got sneak peek of this color scheme during Steve Jobs’ presentation at WWDC,” Kahney reports. “Now it has been rolled out to developers, and soon to the public.”
MacDailyNews Note: It’s most noticeable on iPhone and iPad as the background for Notifications Center when you swipe down from the top of the screen on devices running iOS 5.
Kahney reports, “The dark linen background is also used in Mission Control. Invoking Mission Control now defaults to an upward three- or four-finger swipe.”

If only Apple could use Mission Control to zap the runaway Apollo 13 that’s known as Android.
Please do not sully the name of the Apollo program by associating it with Android.
Not even remotely comparable: NASA’s Apollo program had no one to copy.
“The icons in previous versions of Mail were a little cryptic. A paper airplane to mean send? A new option allows them to show both text and icon.”
Mac OS X has always had the option to display both text and icons in the toolbar.
He has more serious issues to consider if he can’t figure out which icon in Mail shows sent and received mail. Like which end of his body shit comes out of when he defecates.
Seriously guys,if I have a Macbook that doesn’t do “Multitouch Gestures” .. should I even get this new OS? I guess it’s not that end of the world, but.. switching btw full screen apps, … hmm without multitouch, how do you do that
Would the Magic Trackpad solve your dilemma?
Yes it would, but I don’t want another trackpad. The solution is to get a new Mac, sometime in the next 12 months, but my ‘old Mac’ is still in great shape.
There are keyboard equivalents for them.
In the case of the new fullscreen apps, an icon in the application’s toolbar triggers fullscreen mode, and when you’re in it, move the cursor the upper right, and an icon appears for exiting fullscreen mode.
THanks, I’ll be moving between apps with CTRL-Tab i guess….
Don’t get it unless you want the cloud sync of all your photos, apps, music, and want the active auto save feature. And you’re worried about multi-touch?
New color scheme. So what.
when did interior designers start writing tech articles?
Any sign yet of Rosetta or a finished version of QuickTime X?
