Hey folks, I installed Leopard at work today... the Upgrade install was totally painless, except for the minor mental anguish at losing Visor (a Terminal hack) and pictures as the background for Terminal.
One major mental anguish, however, is the ugly folder icons. I found some advice for replacing them with something that is a bit easier to recognize [1], but it involves replacing files in the /System folder... which should be a no-no. Also, the resolutions for the icons I like [2] are not the same as those supplied with Leopard. Is there any reason, other than that messing with /System files is dangerous, that I should not replace these ugly versions of System 7 folders? BTW---I like the new Mail with its data detectors, like the striped background for list view in the Finder, and actually like the new iTunes-like interface to the Finder. I'm amazed that most all the stuff I have on my work machine still works well. Also---I've figured out how to solve the lack of Classic for my laptop: I'll just put a pretty bare installation of Tiger on an external drive, include Hypercard, and use it to run my Hypercard stacks when they are needed.
