fatshitcat Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yesterday Adobe posted three public betas of Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Soundbooth all CS4 betas. The interface overhaul seems to be a nice thing, there is a certain standard between Dreamweaver and Fireworks. The betas can be found at labs.adobe.com Remember, you need an Adobe ID to download. The Creative Suite 4 is expected to come around October this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshitcat Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Just finished installing Dreamweaver. The first thing where you spot the change is right at the installer. It has been completely overhauled, somewhat faster but with a nicer outlook. The artwork/icons are still the CS3 ones, which is no wonder yet. The installer finished quickly, and immediately showed the option to run Dw right away. This is the screen that appears on first run: The new UI has also been revised. By clicking on the [DESIGNER] drop-down menu, you are presented with several workspace configurations, toolbar arangements(App Developer, App Developer Plus, Classic, Coder, Coder Plus, Designer, Designer Compact, Dual Screen). This instant configuration is extremely handy and convenient. So, let's open a file here: You get used to it pretty easily since the main window is basically the same, although some tweakings are noticeable. Te new side panes are more professional-looking, more Adobe-like, and overall the UI got a darker look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizi Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I heard that the 64bit version will be available only for Vista and then later on for Mac. Still true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Dreamweaver CS4 is fantastic Any 64bit version for Mac should come as a fat binary, so whether it's 64 or 32 bit, on Mac it should be transparent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshitcat Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've heard Adobe doesn't plan to port to 64 bit for mac until CS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeamp Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I still have to upgrade regardless to CS4, but when it gets 64-bit, GAME OVER. :-D Adobe > * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminousnerd Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Have you even looked at the betas? Not even close. They are far, far worse than CS3 in these terms. The hotkeys are STILL not localized to Mac, they don't even make sense, the only thing they bothered to do was swap out the Control key for the Command key. And have you seen Fireworks? It's the most hideous thing I've ever seen, buttons in the title bar? WTF were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axalon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I believe Adobe has corrected most of these with CS4. Except the whole NO 64-BIT FOR YOU thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
