Mac OS X Panther build 7A179

Mac OS X Panther build 7A179 is a beta build of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.

New features

 * This build includes major changes to the Finder interface, using a metal-like theme. The Finder icon also gained an update.
 * The Aqua interface has been updated, removing some of the pinstripe areas that was seen in previous versions. However, the old shadow effect on text was still in use.
 * Safari is included, which was intended to replace the Internet Explorer that was used on previous versions. This inclusion was due to the five-year agreement contract between Apple and Microsoft from 1997 being close to ending.
 * iChat is also included by default, as a messenger application.
