At Apple's Global developer Conference (WWDC), Steve Jobs introduced the upcoming next-generation Mac OS X operating system, code-named Leopard. OS X 10.5 Leopard will be launched this October, when users will be able to see the redesigned Desktop (Desktop) and new finder features.
OS X 10.5 was originally planned for the spring of 2007, but for some reason it has been postponed to 10 copies this year. Jobs told attendees on the WWDC that the retail price of leopard was 129 dollars. The official version of Leopard will provide 300 new and enhanced features, and jobs introduced 10 of these features in his speech.
After the redesigned desktop changed to the familiar blue background of OS X 10.4, the desktop background that was shown at the Tuesday WWDC meeting was a picture of a blade of grass covered with dewdrops, and Apple wanted the user to upload a personal iphoto picture as a desktop background. The desktop has been redesigned to better accommodate the images, Jobs said, and the menu bar has become semi-transparent and the dock dock has a reflective effect. Dragging a window to the dock reflects the contents of the window in it.

More notable is the Leopard desktop introduces the stacks feature, which is a series of folders placed on the desktop. Apple wants to clean up cluttered desktops with the stacks feature. Files are stored in stacks for quick access, and when you click on the Stacks icon in the dock, the files and folders expand in a grid or in a fan style. Clicking on the icon will open the appropriate application. Users can create stacks by dragging objects and a set of objects onto the dock.

As part of the stacks, the redesigned desktop also contains a dedicated download folder. Files downloaded from Web browsers and e-mail clients are automatically stored in this folder, most recently downloaded, and the download icon in the dock shows the bounce effect when the file is downloaded.
