| The update has been great for me as my biggest problem is resolved. The update fixed an issue with gizmocall (the flash plugin used from a browser rather than the standalone application) which is flash based. The flash plugin couldn't see any input or output devices. Now it sees both the built in inputs and outputs as well as my USB phone. |

| The update's welcome. Finally a real menu-bar again without 3rd party tools or hack-desktop pictures.

I guess it depends on what background picture I have. My desktop is a space picture (not the default one) so the Translucent is not bad at all. Then if I change it to a nature background (like the original 10.5 beta background) the Translucent would have to be turned off. So I guess it really depends on one's background picture.

| It's a fair point, I don't know why there is the difference either. As you say, it could be related to the "Core" technologies. I've taken an old screenshot from 10.5.1 and matched it (more or less) with what I see under 10.5.2. |

| Stacks still leaves me wanting. Yes, its great to have a list view, but I still have to do two clicks (not a double click) to get to where I want to. With Tiger you just held down the icon in the right side of the dock and scrolled.

| seems buggier now. screensavers are having problems. itunes artwork saver has been updated, but for some reason when it comes on as a screensaver (ie not 'test'), it stutters and changes to the 'computer name' screen saver for some reason. i've also had problems with the spectrum saver having trouble starting, the screen flashes between desktop and screensaver over and over again... occasionally, i'll come to the computer and the left screen has changed its wallpaper back to the leopard aurora default, and if i attempt to change it to something different, it just changes back to aurora. only restart fixes this. InDesign CS3 is unusable, with Open, Save As, Place and Export dialogues causing hard crashes of indesign. fine under 10.4, fine with InDesign CS1. this is more adobe though. When using Wiretap Pro, syslogd starts a runaway process and eventually uses upto 180% CPU, causing the recordings to fail. force quitting works, but then spawns again to repeat an instant runaway process. System Preferences now is fairly unstable, and i've had it crash a few times since 10.5.2. bah.

| Lt Major Burns: Oh dear, it sounds like you're having quite a few problems since the update. I haven't noticed the same problems, so I tested a few of your examples. For me, the iTunes Artwork and Spectrum screensavers have been fine. Desktop backgrounds also have remained as whatever I set them to be. InDesign CS3 has been fine for me. Open, Save As, Place, and Export all work as expected, with no crashes. Have you applied all updates from Adobe? The only thing I have noticed is that sometimes Adobe apps can misbehave when using them in conjunction with Spaces; I can return to an Adobe app to find palettes/toolbars missing and it can take some messing about to bring them back. It's an annoying bug, but it isn't show stopping. On a related note, I've found Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 is now working fine under 10.5.2. |
