i remember being banned from using the daycare computer because i slid this back and forth so fast the whole computer crashed

We traded this with flat minimalism btw.. fuck you you bastard @jonyive

@nitzukai im crying bc i made my own graphics-accelerated maxosx 10.7 but i tried this one and i think mine has better frame pacing idk. video is not any good at showing it especially on twitter

My Apple Remotes, they all still work and just tested it with a 2009 MacBookPro and they work, will have to try with older iMac 24/27 (packed up) they may have been upgraded to Lion? not sure.

Nfzerox is the most creative Mac tweaker right now, he and a few other people put the Yosemite UI back on the Mac. Insane work.

UIs were so beautiful back then

I really wish they could bring Cover Flow back in iPhone 20 with an updated Liquid Glass effect. @Apple @AppleMusic

Useless.

sure

Every once in a while cover flow is posted like an ancient artifact from a lost time. I remember what it was actually like. People HATED cover flow. Rightly so. We miss decent skeuomorphic design. But we shouldn't be idolizing the terrible examples of it.

Mountain Lion was the PEAK of Skeuo on OSX, i remember my Mac barely supported Snow Leopard and I really wanted to use this 🥹

Cover Flow was/is great for flicking through albums

why did it used to be so cool.. now its so damn boring.

straight up, our fall of rome started with the end of f frutiger aero

Shes so beautiful

a more beautiful OS has not been seen either before or after🥺🥺🥺

🥺🥺🥺

I still have MacPro 5,1s who still run Lion.

I often scour for older desktop software designs for inspiration for my current newer projects in the age of AI its an excellent way to stand out

so pretty

you need to see that used with the apple remote, that is soooo satisfying, and using FrontRow. The UI before John Ivy was awesome...

Everything is just colorless shit nowadays

Way better than now.

Just look 😳 at those beautiful dock icons. Also a lost art.

open photo booth and go full screen! :D

Is there a way to bring the old os back? Maybe jailbreaking it?

hey wait, so, sincere question. when people install a vm of an old operating system like this, what do they actually do? i always see people messing around on the system menus, but do people actually try to install apps/use these old OSes like a normal computer?

And tiger OS X too?? 🥺

i never daily driven a mac in my life, but holy shit i do miss that era of soulful UI

Indeed
