{{Mac OS X}} lists all the apps that ship with OS X.Dread LordCyberSkull✎☠05:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am taking the liberty of trimming this template so it's smaller, sleeker, and less unwieldy. IMO, a better place for this info would be a "List of Mac OS X components" page. If you are unhappy with my changes, feel free to revert; I am not posessive about changes I make. --unforgettableid |talk to me04:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be at all possible to add theMac OS X link inside the table? The centering is off when it is just regular wiki text...Paul^C/_T+17:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I moved Spotlight into the Technology section because it's really not an Application. I think it fits better there. If anyone strongly disagrees, you can change it back.

This table is way too big. It dwarfs about half of the articles it links. I was planning to go through and removing links to all the stubby articles but I thought of a better idea. How about we break this into separate templates? "Mac OS X technologies", "Mac OS X bundled applications" etc?AlistairMcMillan16:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it necessary to differentiate between the major applications used by most Mac OS X users on a daily basis and the smaller utilities (which is mostly those that are in the /Applications/Utilities directory). But should it be split further into two or three different templates? (apps, utilities and technology)? --Baryonic Being10:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed a couple of things about the box that might be of interest, so I tweaked it and rather than update it, here's a draft to play with right on this page if that's okay. Front Row is missing and I tried italicizing the future features. It's true that the sucker is big but that kinda depends on your individual screen real estate. It strikes me the thing is like a big scoreboard, updating as Apple moves forward with OS X.Schweiwikist04:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the codes between the noincludes has been nowikid for this draft!)

I decided tobe somewhat bold and refreshed the whole template to fit into the rather splendidNavigational Template. As a bonus, I rolled in theDeveloper tools template. Any thoughts? —Down10 ^TACO07:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but you do realise that this means that the template looks completely different now depending on which skin people use when visiting Wikipedia? I'm not sure whether this is a benefit.AlistairMcMillan19:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just too large. Maybe should be split across smaller articles. It shouldn't list every application or feature that comes by default with MacOSX, imagine we do a similar thing with the Linux template...

The name for the next version of OS X has not been oficially announced yet. Maybe it's "Lion". Removing this edit since it is highly misleading.—Precedingunsigned comment added by94.192.0.168 (talk)21:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um... 10.7 was announced back in october 2010 at the "Back to the Mac" event and is calledMac OS X 10.7 "Lion" --Colejohnson66 (talk)20:44, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was an old message. I don't think Mac OS X Lion was even announced when this user posted that.--megamanfan3 (talk)15:47, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this template listX11.app under "discontinued", when the article proper states that it's still maintained and included in new releases of Mac OS?

I see that it's been added and removed once or twice already, so I figured I'd ask here.

24.108.194.150 (talk)11:16, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it to the main "utilities" section.

Right now there's nothing on the template that links toClassic Mac OS ("Classic Environment" near the bottom resolves toList_of_built-in_macOS_apps#Classic.) While I realize "macOS" (the name of the tempalte) refers to the distinct operating system that began life as OS X, I think just for clarity of information/navigation, it's valuable to link there. A space within "Versions" at the top above "Mac OS X" seems a bit too prominent, but anywhere other than versions seems inappropriate. Does anyone have any thoughts?Ehler (talk)22:27, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A "Predecessors" section, listingClassic Mac OS andNeXTSTEP?Guy Harris (talk)23:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a very good idea, with NeXTSTEP being the morehonest predecessor in a sense. If I were trying to come up with a slightly broader category, maybe I'd say "related" and have iOS andApple DOS (though the latter is a bit of a stretch), but I think your idea of predecessors and just those two is an overall better one.Ehler (talk)20:36, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
