Unafraid of Apple’s lawyers, Think Secret has a gallery of gorgeous screenshots and icons from the latest build of Leopard (9A527), which was released to software developers last week.

Above is the large version of the new Network Utility icon. According to Think Secret, almost all the icons in Leopard are now bigger, better and brighter.

And just as the icons are getting bigger, so too are the applications. According to Think Secret, Address Book has grown from 25.2MB in Tiger to 47.7MB in Leopard; Safari has grown from 6.5MB to 51.9MB; and Mail has grown from 49MB to 279.7MB.

    Those app sizes are ridiculous. I hope Apple shave them down in the final version.

    Regarding sizes – couldn’t it be that they still are compiled with debug info in these builds?

    i hope the network utility offers a visual representation of WiFi network and nearby access points as eluded by the icon – which PCs have enjoyed for years and the best we have is the useless internet connect

    “Regarding sizes – couldn’t it be that they still are compiled with debug info in these builds?”

    That would be my guess.
