Safari with Tabs (v62 - v71)

[brianleahy]

My only point is that I personally don't consider it reasonable that no interface elements can be placed at the bottom of a screen or window because of fear of carpal tunnel.

What about the horizontal scroll bar? Or the resize area? They've ALWAYS been at the bottom.

Yep... I know a bit dramatic maybe but more or less it seems that Apple REALLY listens to its customers!

Safari with Tabs? I want it NOW!

Anyways, as for Tabs being on top and hanging on the address bar I think that it is awesome... And an x button to close them with the mouse without going left, right, far away from each tab in general? Cool! Now, what about that Bookmarking Tabs, Apple? As for brushed VS aqua theme of Safari, I think that it is time for Apple to let its users enjoy the benefits of themes which many users enjoy albeit on a "insecure" basis... Of course I'm talking of themes as a function across the OS X UI and not only in Safari Now, if only Apple is reading this, too

As for the mouse:
-I think that Apple has to go wireless be it USB or Bluetooth ASAP and the same with keyboard. Both mouse and keyboard are top quality but they have to go wireless...
-Also, I think that I want the mouse to remain single "button" BUT... on top of it! Underneath I want the mouse to become a whole NEW beast: If you click the left area of the mouse it must register as a left click. If you click the right area of the mouse it must register as a right click. When you click in the middle it must register the same way it is now: Left click. However, on top of the mouse, in the middle, a small part, could be something like iPod's "jog" or if you prefer a touchpad like in xBooks in order for the user to be able to use it as a wheel and/or a third button! Something like the last thing exists on one of Macally (I think I spelled wrong but anyways) mice but not a very good version compared to the one I have in mind As for the left/right clicking mechanism, I think that it could become a reality easily based on the same mechanism already Apple is using for Apple Pro Mouse...

On the other hand I'm sure that Apple will surprise us anyways but I hope it would be a cool surprise and not give us just another mouse to use as other companies like to do. But then again Apple isn't just another company

Sounds good about the mouse... and then they could go a step further and have it pressure sensitive... say I have 10 pages on top of each other or am looking for a folder burried deep within a set of nested ones, the more pressure I apply downward the further and faster the cursor dives into the nested area. As in a stack of papars instead of moving each one i could stick my finger through the stack and pick out the one I need by pressing harder into the stack.

Wasn't Apple the one that was trying out the 3D file nesting system. I remember someplace or somewhere you could fly through your folders... I know I wasn't dreaming has to be about 5 years ago... Anyone remeber what that was called and if they ever did anyting with that?

The TaskBar! It is at the bottom of the screen too!

Or Linux "TaskBar"? It is at the bottom too!

Or OS 9 Control Strip?

Come on guys, Tabs MUST be on top or even better if Apple would give the people the option to put them Top, Bottom, Left, Right? I don't know! At least for me, the best place is on top of a web page and hanging under the "address" bar

Yeah, i remember the three-d Finder! Was right before Copland (os8) i think. we should make a thread about it and see if anyone got some old magazines they could scan pictures from. It would be kool to see it. Was thinking about it some days ago when i tried to come up with new kool stuff they could do with OSX.

I hope apple implements command-1, command-2 to switch tabs... I cant remember if it was in chimera but I think that was. Or some other keyboard shortcut for switching tabs.
On the mouse issue I think apple has plenty of options to innovate mice, beacuse they haven't changed much for 3 plus years, and the basic idea of the mouse has been around since the first macintosh, 30+ years ago. A mouse like the optical mouse that comes with mac's now would be tight if you toutched the left and left clicked, or if you could toutch the right to right click; but maintain the single surface on the top. It would have to be like a toutch screen... That would be good for the functionality and design.

How did you guys get it? It's not supposed to come out till next month, and you already have it? Are you a part of the apple seed program???

[twister]
