Mac OS X Developer Preview 3 at InsanelyMac.
This meant that instead of using ResEdit to edit resource forks, programmers could now edit XML files that defined the resources, complete with in-line binary blobs.Ĭore Foundation also put in an appearance, providing one set of APIs all application services could use to access the core OS. Under the hoodĭP3 converted the NextStep resource NIB files to XML format. This made the UI elements of the Classic mode look similar to those in Aqua - with a few big differences, in that since the compositing engine wasn't used in Classic, there was no subpixel antialiasing, which meant that all fonts rendered slightly off, and shadow masks became opaque over Classic windows. To try and smooth over the now marked differences between applications running with the Platinum look in Classic mode and applications running in Aqua, Apple also introduced its second theme for the Appearance Manager: Classic X. They all dynamically resized as more were added, and the icon size grew larger as the icons approached the mouse. DP3 included the Dock, where applications, documents, folders and dock widgets could all coexist nicely together. Boot times of DP3 were significantly faster than OS 9 on the same hardware.
That didn't last long with DP3, we see the beginnings of the Aqua interface, with jellybean-like buttons, pulsing default interface items and 3D everything. So things are a bit in a state of flux atm.Developer Preview 2 attempted to look as much like Mac OS 8 as possible. Trying to install VMware Tools when open-vm-tools is already installed on several new distributions is cancelled unless you force it to install. It can take some time to resolve itself and there's certainly a chance that some of the current Linux distribution versions will not get that part working until you update to the next version. Earlier versions for a 4.x kernel had a broken driver, which -at least until a week or so ago- are still installed in for example Ubuntu 15.10.
If it isn't in your distributions specific version yet, then they aren't up to date with what has been upstream already for a bit. It would be a good tip for the open-vm-tools package though to add a few lines on highlighting that a user might want to install the -desktop package as well.Īs for the vmhgfs driver for having shared folders work "out of the box" is apparently also an inbox driver nowadays for Linux hosts.
When you install from the host menu it will try to install the traditional VMware Tools, so no need for the warning then.
