Did anyone try OS X Lion on a MBA?

I don't mind it, and I am starting to get used to parts of it. Although I spent two hours changing somethings to make it more to my liking. iCal had a leather like skin, which I replaced with the traditional metallic. The scroll is a little weird, and I changed that back to normal. Did not like how Finder automatically shows the all my files thing as a default, and so I removed that. The library folder is hidden by default, and it takes a terminal command to unhide it.

The last time I went into terminal to change anything was to enable the "alt" keys in X11, and change the default "traffic light" button layout in iTunes from horizontal to vertical like the other programs. Consistency is a huge thing for me, and so that bugged me...mainly because I either minimize programs into the dock or use them in the back ground; I never shrink iTunes. Doing things through the terminal isn't so bad anymore given that I have needed to do a lot of command line stuff in Ubuntu and so doing it in OSX isn't really that different.

I do like Launchpad though, and with the track pad it is very easy to swipe through programs. I didn't think I would like it, but it quickly grew on me. Although I don't like the dull look of some of the OS, and a few of my FOSS apps don't work...but I have a Linux HD that can take over any of those needs.

If you don't like the feature that gives you accents when holding down a key the way to re-enable key repeating is to first close all open applications and type the following command in terminal.

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

I have tested this on my system and it works, but if like me you want back the ability to hold down a key and get accents it is simple to reverse the change. Again quit all open applications and in terminal type.

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

This will restore the default settings.

I posted this elsewhere, but given that I actually researched this and tested it on my own system and some forum members here might want to know I decided to share it.
