Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.2 on Monday, an update that addresses several common complaints regarding some new Leopard features, while also adding new features and fixing numerous bugs.
Among the major changes is an update to Stacks, the feature of OS X's Dock that allows quick access to items within folders. In 10.5.2, users can view any folder in the Dock as either a Folder or a Stack, and view content as either a Fan, Grid, or List. Pre-Leopard versions of Mac OS X provided only a List view; previous versions of Leopard provided either a Fan or Grid view based on the number of items in a Stack.
Another widely criticized feature of Leopard was the addition of a translucent menu bar and menu items; the 10.5.2 update adds an option to the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane to turn translucency off. Menu items are also less translucent (regardless of how you set the menu bar preference), making them more readable.
