... Folks, now that I can breathe again, let me finally answer to that message: Yahoo Groups has a "Files" section for each group (and thus for Mac-GUI-Dev as...
This has come up on the Carbon-dev list and at WWDC, and I thought I'd see what the people here think. There is no official guideline for when to use the new...
So in Xcode they use this grey area at the bottom of each window, and for me it really reminds me of the Safari status bar, so much so that I constantly try to...
... I don't get confused because I always use Interface Builder to turn the metal off in Safari :) Unfortunately there's an issue in Safari 2 where the...
... The unified toolbar is good for looking cool. :) It adds visual variety without breaking expected visual appearance/ behaviors much. However... [1] It...
... IMHO, I think the unified toolbar was a great idea, just not carried quite far enough. I always liked Aqua's appearance more than Metal's. However I like ...
The bottom is kind of the "status bar area" now. It's in the Finder that way. It's in Xcode that way. It's in Safari that way. This way, it's out of the main...
... That's my general line of thought about all those custom window styles as well. They're nice to help the user detect the main window in an application (if...
... That might not be a bad idea. Currently, metal seems to have two uses: 1. Representing or imitating an interface to a physical object, like iTunes or...
... Well, to be honest I didn't really mean a "new window style" like I said. I meant create a new window style that unified what *I think* are the best of...
... One window style to rule them all! Ok, sorry about that. Just had to. [LOTR] A _little_ visual diversity can be a good thing though. I must say, my Mail...
... I think it's not only cool, but much less visually tiring. The old toolbar added one more sharp horizontal line to the interface, and often distracted me...

Last week a blogged about Unity, the new game development program by OverTheEdge Software (http://www.otee.dk/) and how it's interface is, well, not very good...

... David, from what I've heard, the official party line is that the "Pro" look has been designed with the video crowd in mind. Apparently even Graphite is too...
... Well, yes, me to :-), but I thought I'd bring it up here to see if anyone had anything to shed light on the matter. Your point about the original video...

... I'd also add that it would be good to know "why" you users like something. Frequently, users glom onto something because of its novelty. Over time, the...
Hello all, I'm a latecomer to this list so I'll make my introductions like you all have: I'm a PhD student (studying musical information retrieval) living in...
... I mostly agree. You can grab most physical objects anywhere you want, to move them, why shouldn't windows behave similarly? However, right now I'd...
... Note that I said "be based on", not that they should be colon-delimited. There are greater differences between HFS and POSIX paths than just the delimiter....
... Agreed. Or write a haxie to do it so that all apps behave consistently? Actually even Apple's suppied widgets don't behave consistently (the calendar can...

... Actually, volumes mounted on mount points other than /Volumes may also appear as Volumes in the Finder. While this only happens when mounting volumes using...
... Not only that, but you can create arbitrary directories in /Volumes (which then exist on the root volume), as I have discovered accidentally a couple of...
This seems like a good topic for Uli's mac-gui-dev list, so I am quoting the entire message below, and top-posting. I hope all will forgive me. A third option...
The "Smart button" (cog plus disclosure triangle) in the Finder is, I presume, Apple's way of exposing functionality to people who wouldn't think to...
... Interesting idea. But, unlike Mail.app, he has at least four tables that need customization, which would make for a cluttered View menu and ambiguity of...
