  Our bonus stories this week focus largely on fixing some of the
  irritations with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's transparent menu bar and
  Stacks feature.

**Adam, Tonya, and Andy Ihnatko on MacNotables** -- After a long
  hiatus, Tonya and I and Andy Ihnatko connect with Chuck Joiner to
  record a two-part MacNotables podcast that ranges widely, as they
  always seem to. (Adam C. Engst, 2007-12-10)

**Leopard Compatibility List Updated** -- Curious about what programs
  have been updated for Leopard? Look inside for a list of the
  important or interesting programs that specifically claim Leopard
  compatibility. (TidBITS Staff, 2007-12-06)

**Quay Sticks It to Stacks** -- First the Dock lost its silly
  reflectiveness, then we blocked the menu bar's transparency. Now a
  new utility, Quay, lets you replace Stacks in the Leopard Dock with
  folders that have hierarchical menus - just like on, uh, Tiger,
  Panther, and every iteration of Mac OS X. Except Leopard. Except
  that Quay's hierarchical menus are cooler. (Matt Neuburg,
  2007-11-27)

  by not being able to listen to your music across an Internet
  connection because of limitations in iTunes? Simplify Media has the
  answer. (Jeff Carlson, 2007-11-16)

**Transparent Menu Bar, Die Die Die!** -- The transparent menu bar has
  fallen, a victim of hackers' ingenuity. Users, rejoice! (Matt
  Neuburg, 2007-11-16)

**A Simple Hack To Fix Leopard's Stacks** -- Frustrated by how Spaces
  uses meaningless document icons in the Dock? Rich Mogull points you
  to the solution. (Rich Mogull, 2007-11-15)
