Upgraded to Leopard

Yesterday i upgraded to Leopard the fifth Version of Mac OS X, and its awesome.
The Feature that really disappoints me are Stacks. I expected more. Also it is not possible to just have Link to a Folder, everything will be Stack. The Icons are so big, when i open the Application Stack half of the screen is covered with icons and the stack doesn’t even display all Applications! I think it would be a very nice feature to offer more options than just “Grid” and “Fan”. For example adjusting the icon size, maybe offer a third view that, has the grid view style but displays the content as a list, this would be nice for the apps stack. But i have to say i some situations a stack is better, like the “Downloads” stack, because i click on it and and another click opens the last downloaded file.
Spaces is a really nice “new” Feature its simple and does what it should do. I also like the Feature of Safari and the Terminal, that lets you merge windows on different Spaces into one window in one Space. One thing that really makes it a bit annoying… If an app has to tell you something it automatically hops to the space of that app.
Another nice feature is Webclip, which lets you select a part of a website and display it as a widget. I love it. But this also has it’s limitations i also want to be able to re-adjust the hight and the width in the widget itself and be able to set an auto-refresh, because currently it only refreshes when you activate Dashboard.
But all in all it is worth upgrading.
