@RL_Dane TBH I didn't like it when these were arc shaped — grapes of wrath as I called them 🤭
I did like it 10.4-style when you got just a list of what's inside the folder when you long-clicked the folder in the Dock and I did like it more when they've made it just a rectangle, probably in 10.6 or 10.7
I'm slightly sad I got on the bus too late to try Tiger. When I started out with Leopard, Tiger was still many people's favorite version, particularly the version of iMovie that came with it.
I still remember a friend telling me where to download Tiger's iMovie back in '08, because the one that came in Leopard's version of iLife (which we had to buy, LOL! (or was that just iWork??)) was pretty dumbed-down.
@RL_Dane iLife was free I think. And it came with a trial version of iWork. You could upgrade it to full when Mac App Store was introduced as it couldn't tell those apart 🤭
Tiger looked super-cool! Today the stripes look old fashioned, but 10.5 felt wrong without them. TBH I think they didn't look that prominent on real screens as they do now on screenshots, the fact that default screen gamma was changed from 1.8 to 2.2 to match Windows in Mac OS X 10.5 might have contributed to that 🤔

The pinstripes *were* super cool! I didn't know about the gamma change, that kinda stinks. :/
