Now that the new cat is out of the bag, it’s time to have a look at how our applications cope with it. Here’s a preliminary overview:

Butler
• has issues with its built-in Fast User Switching replacement
• doesn’t draw its configuration subheaders correctly
Both issues will be addressed during the next few days.

Desktop Curtain
• doesn’t cover the part of the wallpaper that “shines through” the menu bar
Not sure how to fix this, cf. Non-Transparent Menu Bar.

Non-Transparent Menu Bar
• simply put: doesn’t work
We did actually have reason to believe that this would work during earlier beta stages of Mac OS X 10.5. However, the final Leopard’s menu bar is opaque, and instead of letting the background shine through, it draws a blurred copy of your wallpaper. We hate to waste source code, though, so we thought of something else we could do with this — see our next blog entry.

File List, Key Codes, Service Scrubber, Witch, yFlicks
• all of these seem to work fine
However, if you happen to encounter any Leopard-related bug that we didn’t find, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Thanks!
