Inconsistency in OSX Leopard Mac-Native Aqua Apps
OSX Leopard has 3 "aqua styles" (kinda a made up theory):
First, the "grey buttons" which is found in Finder, Safari, iCal...
Next, the "bubble buttons" which is found in Mail and Preview
These two share (more...)
Change all the bubble style icons to grey icons.
or give the option to have Mac-Native Apps to have either grey or bubble icons.

Finder not "keyboard navigation" friendly
It seems that it is possible to navigate via keyboard. But it uses modifiers, so it's a little difficult.

Finder Sidebar irregularities with long-named external drives and discs.
If you have a long-named CD or USB/External Drive, the Finder Sidebar will automatically resize to fit the whole name if possible, pushing all the icons to the right.
And the sidebar DOES NOT revert to its original state after the drive (more...)

Eject Bezel not descriptive enough, should show if unable to eject.
There are a few times when I keep hitting the eject button, and see the eject bezel, but the CD doesn't pop out. I keep trying till I try ejecting from Finder, and only then I see that the CD is in use by an App.
Show that the CD is in use in the Bezel if unable to eject.

Cannot set default window size for Finder windows, for ALL folders.
Lets say you have set your home folder window to your preferred size. But then you open your downloads folder, but it is of different size! Do you need to go and resize all the windows that you usually open directly to?
This also happens (more...)
A modifier-key close would save the window size, position and sidebar.

CoverFlow does not tell if document is on a level lower than the start.
IF you open a triangle in CF, the files of that folder gets listed in CF too, at the same size. This is confusing as you cannot see which files are from which levels.
Shrink the file preview or use some sort of representation.

iTunes 8 not Aqua-ish enough. Cover Flow functionality issues.
With the new grid-view in iTunes 8, the interface is looking like that of a iPod Touch or iPhone. However grid-view does not have the same effects as that of its counterpart, like it not having those "slide" effects when selecting the method (more...)
For Grid-View, it should have the following Aqua Animations:
Switching between Artist, Albums, Genres, Composers: Sliding animation in the relevant direction.
Double Clicking an item: The album will zoom and flip, to reveal (more...)

Customizable "Show item info" in Finder.
Show item info of Icon View in Finder is rather limited, it should be able to show the date last modified and created, and other information like size.
Allow a drop down list to customize "Show item info" in Icon View.

Blank CD window should show option to open Burn Folder, not Finder.
If a blank CD is inserted and you choose open Finder (plus you have a Finder window already open) nothing happens. Instead the option should be open Burn Folder, so that files can be easily dropped inside.

in CF, the file description under the preview only can show its format and is not changeable.
Well, make it possible to change.

Not able to make quicklook window "a real window" or sticky.
Quicklook windows are not "real windows" as they fade away when you move away from finder and exposeing. This is a problem when you want to compare documents in another app.
A button (maybe on the title bar) to make the window a real one. To show this the transparencies of the window is removed. Also the window can be set to be the frontmost with a checkbox.
