Another new beta with further fixes to the preview server, corrections for visual glitches with MS Office, and refinements to the new “retro” look. Details and a download linke are on the Default Folder X Beta Testing page.
Here’s the latest iteration of the look – yes, those of you who missed the color icons, they’re back!
I prefer the grey sidebar in the beta which is much clearer but definitely not the ‘pretty’ 3D icons. Is it possible in preferences to offer user defined transparency in the sidebar and also have a choice of icon display?
Hmph – certainly can’t make everyone happy with this, can we? For now, you’re going to have to choose between the default black translucent windows with monochrome icons and the old-style gray sidebar with color icons. I’m not going to clutter the preferences with even more controls at this point, and I want to get version 4.0.1 released and into everyone’s hands, since it delivers substantial improvements in many areas (and has taken way too long already).
