Mac related rumors are pretty high at the moment and that is understandable as Apple's highly anticipated Back to the Mac event is about to kick off. MacStories has gotten some interesting details on what the upcoming Mac OS X 10.7 which may be called Lion will bring for its desktop users.
The most interesting thing at least for me from the revealed details is the mention of iOS like scrolling and scroll bar coming to Apple's Mac OS. Here's what you can expect from the user-friendly feature:
iOS scroll bars and scrolling behavior are coming to OS X. That means you’ll have to say goodbye to the current Aqua scroll bars and get ready for a more minimal look. Also, the “rubber band” elastic scrolling iOS is famous for is making its first appearance on the desktop, and we’re told it “works really well and feels natural”. Basically, it works like the current inertial scrolling, but when you hit the top or bottom of a scroll view it “rubber bands” down like iOS devices do. Stuff like “pull to refresh” will be possible (and most of all, it’ll feel native) on OS X. We don’t know whether this would be an option or if Apple will turn on the new scrolling by default.
White colored Quick Look UI and Quick Look popover for items in the Spotlight menu are the other two features likely to be introduced in Mac OS X 10.7.
