I saw that in their list of changes, so I took a screenshot before I applied the update and another after. They're identical. Is there only a difference on Core Image-capable machines? That seems unlikely since menu transparency has never used Core Image.

The new options for stacks are very welcome. Now you can get it to work exactly like in Tiger, and you can choose on an item-by-item basis, so you can have some folders open as stacks and some open as menus. That's the way it should be.


I haven't noticed any difference besides the stacks change and the new Time Machine menu extra (also nice). Spaces might be a bit more responsive, but if you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have thought anything of it.
