![]() They prefer steep, rugged terrain with rocky outcrops where prey can be hard to come by. They can also be found in the Tibetan Plateau and across a range that stretches from China to the mountains of Central Asia. Snow leopards can be found throughout high mountain ranges, including the Himalayas and the southern Siberian mountains in Russia. They are shy and reclusive, and rarely seen in the wild. These big cats use their long tails for balance and as blankets to cover sensitive body parts against the severe mountain chill. Snow leopards have powerful legs and are tremendous jumpers, able to leap as far as 50 feet. They are insulated by thick hair-in shades of gray or creamy yellow and covered with grayish black spots-and their wide, fur-covered feet act as natural snowshoes. These spotted leopards live in the mountains across a vast range of Asia. Actually, if MM just used antialiased text it would help a lot.Current Population Trend: Decreasing What is the snow leopard? Still, I mostly have text showing for everything, no graphs (I can always just click on the meter to see the purty graphs). IStat 2 has almost too many options now, but it seems to try to make the info presented clearer. ALso, the MenuMeters Snow Leopard patch was released a few days ago, so technically it beat iStat to the punch. ![]() The appearance of the MM bars has changed to more closely resemble those of iStat, fwiw. Clearness doesn't really matter with something this small - you can't get any detail regardless the app, it is just an indication. Originally posted by Sanook:Gah! MM is so ugly. They aren't as pretty as the iStat menus but I guess it just has higher resolution? Each to his own, though. The new MenuMeters also have wider bars now. What's better about the data? And I am guessing you mean MenuMeters has better data, yes? It's just a bit clearer and more granular: View image: That was for a size comparison I did there, a little while back, it doesn't show all the data but you can see even in the network graphs more definition.

And I thought I wasn't one of those obvious gays.*Siracusa homage I mean - I know it's supposedly better data, but I just finished customising all my graph colours. kidnapping? Anyone?Edit: Obviously I was wrong about MenuMeters. How can we all, as a group, influence the devs to do this? Kidnapping? Bribery is the obvious choice but I'm poor at the moment. Feel my awesome power, lowly computer-trapped processes.So - much hope of a Snowy Visor? Looking at how it's currently implemented (via SIMBL), probably not without a complete rewrite. But it's so beautiful to call it up to kill an errant task every now and again. Again - it's not like I have to do an awful lot in the terminal. However I returned to the thread to revise my original assertion: My 10.6 transition will never be complete until I can have Visor back in my life. Either way I'm very pleased with iStat menus 2.0. Well I wonder if that's what's holding up MenuMeters? Perhaps they want to do it 64bit all the way down (or is it up?)*. I had a feeling someone would correct me.
