The modern designer (not all, but many) does not want you to have any fun in your user interfaces because
yaddy yaddy yadda something about "less is more" bullshit...
Make your UIs fun and interesting. :) How about some fun waves to indicate live radiooooooo. 📻📡
This was my first #mac. It’s been a part of my collection for around 13 years now! #vintagemac #oldmac #vintageapple #oldcomputer #powerpc #powerpcmac #powermacg4 #powermac #macosx #macosxtiger #spacehey
And the award for the BEST Aqua ever made... goes to... *drum roll*
Yes, he made this Aqua button. So lickable! :D
The only #LiquidGlass I’ll accept…
Mmmmmm, usable UI that just works...
Here are some screenshots of MarsEdit 1.1.2 running on Mac OS X Tiger. You can see the sweet drawers too!
UI frameworks have regressed so much.
I'm not saying we need to go back to Tiger's Aqua but color, depth, and details like outlines and gradients help distinguish what is something the user can interact with.
Nuovo upgrade per il Cube: sostituito il vecchio disco con un mSATA da 128GB usando un adattatore mSATA–PATA.
Ho anche voluto fissare il nuovo disco su un telaio, ma il cavo IDE interno è cortissimo e mi ha dato qualche grattacapo.
Alla fine ci sono riuscito: le prestazioni sono nettamente migliori ed è molto più silenzioso.
Ora si inizia l’installazione in dual boot di OS 9 e Tiger!

La prima sfida del Cube era trovare un alimentatore… missione quasi impossibile.
Gli originali costano una follia, ma dopo un po’ di caccia su eBay ho trovato lui: 28V, 8A, stesso connettore, pagato 10€. Sembra compatibile!
Ora aspetto che arrivi per provarlo e (spero) accendere il Cube.
Stay tuned, la Cube-restoration continua!

Dopo tanto tempo l'ho trovato: il Power Mac G4 Cube.
Purtroppo è senza alimentatore, quindi per prima cosa dovrò trovarne uno originale o trovare una soluzione alternative (spoiler: sono carissimi).
Poi upgrade: installazione di un SSD, pulizia generale ed installazione di Mac OS X Tiger.
Farlo tornare operativo è come riaccendere un’epoca in cui ogni Mac era un’idea totalmente nuova.
Ti porto con me nel processo ✌️
#MacOSXTiger a été la version sur laquelle j'ai débarqué en arrivant dans le monde #Apple et je me souviens encore très bien de ce bonheur sur mon #iMac #G5 (fin 2005). À cette époque être sur Mac avait un "goût" différent et plus agréable. C'est difficile à expliquer mais le plaisir était plus grand je crois.

Even the website is so, so cute 🥰 🖲️ So Aqua.

These are so, so amazing! Plus, if you have the new MacBook Air in Sky Blue, the “Ice (Dark)” variant pairs so well with it!
Also, I can't believe #MacOSXTiger is 20 years old this month 🤯 Obsessing over timeless design from the early 2000s is wiiiiiiild!
But honestly, @keir, I'm obsessed.

iChat AV walked so that FaceTime could RUN!
Ooooofff… look at those sweet, sweet animations as people enter or exit a video chat. I miss fun, whimsical Apple!
I can't seem to find this video "Inside Tiger" anywhere online... Has anyone recall seeing it before?
But also just look how beautiful this all looks. That Chat icon especially!!!
Subtle shades of light gray are far better than the blinding white of today... all of this just looks so elegant.
Aquafox: Ein moderner Browser für alte PowerPC Macs mit Tiger und Leopard

Just in case anyone was wondering how a PowerPC Mac reacts to Apple Silicon... surprisingly well. macOS 10.4 sees some code marked as "cputype 16777228 cpusubtype 0", and whatever that is, it ignores it.
Yes, I've managed to compile code for new Apple Silicon, a decade's worth of Intel CPUs, and 30-year-old PowerPC processors, and stick them all into the same file. In theory, any version of macOS ever written could run my dumb little app.

POV: You're updating your Mac OS X Tiger machine and you're able to get updates for apps individually rather than having to wait for a whole ass OS point-release update.
