The new version of the operating system for "Poppies" OS X Lion many valuable and useful things (see " OS X Lion: A good "). Some of them have not yet revealed their full potential and does cause inconvenience may (read the post " OS X Lion: A strange "), and some have irritating. Here are the five most annoying properties of the "Lion."
1. Dirty calendar and address book. It is to run one of these standard applications, and we see the horrific attacks of wild victim designers. Instead of straining and did not leave a neat gray sockets and standard buttons, these programs for something to decorate. Address book portrays this book from the phone (though running is not the case), the calendar window cap is made of worn leather, and from beneath it stands out the most shameful - pririsovannye scraps of old pages. In this kind could well have a book of spells in role-playing game, but not programs that are using every day. Of course, there is something pleasant in the smooth navigating through the calendar dvupaltsevym gesture, but it does not justify the mossy appearance.
2. Disappearing scroll bar. Scrollbar document - a very important element of the interface. It performs multiple roles: shows how the document displays the screen gives you an idea of the total length of the content and allows you to navigate through the document. Important role Mouse and touchpad quietly took himself, but the first two are still important. In the Lion was originally included a new type of bands that appear only in a time when the scrolls. That is, to make them appear, you must first begin to turn. Those who still likes to occasionally grab the slider and drag it will cause discomfort. Besides, not having started scrolling, you can not know exactly where in the document are.
3. Spoiled Dashboard. Makovskaya Dashboard panel was once a great invention. It is worth it to call over the screen appear as widgets. I, for example, a calculator, currency converter and unit converter. Since the screen is not fully obscured, could, for example, rewrite the widget data from an open document. Now, by default Dashboard in a separate screen, and something to write, you need to go back and forth. There is an option that returns everything as it was, but Apple is clearly moving away from this method. For example, the new MacBook Air keyboard buttons for call Dashboard, no longer exists.
4. Alterations in the Finder. The standard file manager, Finder once again redrawn. The first thing that catches your eye - lost their color icons, but this, of course, a trifle. With default settings in the left pane is no longer visible root partition, missing partitions comfortable "today", "yesterday", etc., removed the bottom panel, which displays the amount of disk space and amount of the selected files. All this can be returned - mostly ticked in the settings. The hardest part is probably the section describing the files for specific days: the search for the relevant parameters and then save it. And you can just use a new section called "All My Files", sorted by date updated.
5. Loss of small white buttons. In this unfortunate buttons do not even have an official name - she was just the top left corner of some windows and let in one click to hide the toolbar, and sometimes the side panels. Take its place button deployment to full screen actually performs a similar function, but, of course, not entirely. It is one thing - to quickly optimize the size of the window, so that on the same screen placed yet something else - to give all the screen space a single application. Most of all sorry for the Finder - it hides the toolbar button and the Sidebar at the same time, which was extremely useful in case like, for example, to sort pictures, shown in the mode of Icon. Of course, all the same thing can be done by calling the menu and Hide Sidebar Hide Toolbar, but it is far more intricate, and therefore less valuable way.
To sum up, I want to say that Lion valuable and useful innovations outweigh many times (especially since many of them can be corrected, to tinker with the settings). More offensive than just a corrupt address book and calendar - not least because they are obviously flawed that purpose, and to abandon the new design at Apple is not going to. Groans of angry users have begun since the first razrabotcheskih versions, and Apple on their brow and not taken.
