Has anyone else noticed that in Safari 4, in the webclip section the ‘cancel’ and ‘add’ buttons have changed from aqua to something else.

I think it is hilarious when people come on to talk trash about Macs. They are obviously uneducated about the hardware as well as the software, and are subconsciously envious of us.

On another note, I’m ready to see Snow Leopard. I’m curious to see what new innovations Apple has come up with!

I don’t really care… I’m just excited for iLife. Does a consistent UI really affect usability?

I change the look of my Linux desktop every week and the thing about dark themes is when you are surfing the bright white pages give you eyestrain.

You can hack this with Stylish or Greesemonkey but then you never see pages as the designer intended.

I do like dark themes at night though.

You’re not too familiar with Apple’s philosophy are you?

Maybe they will keep the old Aqua interface (which is still pleasant to look at) and have the new one, and then you can simple switch between the two whenever you want, that way, just like at Burger King, you can have it YOUR way…..

I don’t like that look but I agree it needs a revamp. Looks like they are biting vista style now WTF. But that does make me realize it’s been a long time since I’ve ran shapeshifter or candybar on my mac. Time for a change here aswell.

HAHA! You’ve got a pretty good point, Ben. I like the new one though.

The ‘Macs suck’ guy was funny too. I love the people that come on Apple related articles to start fights.

@Manuel

Hahaha, Apple? Believes in choice? What world do you live in? We are talking about the same company that, for the most part, locks their OS to their hardware which is offered in one or two color choice, and features no naitive theme support (iPhone, iPod, Mac – you’re meant to keep them stock) right? If they change the UI you’ll be stuck with it.

nay! i LOVE aqua…I’m sure apple since they “believe in choice” as said by steve jobs will at least keep offering aqua as a theme for their snow leopard release

Agreed! The gel look is so very tired. Drives me crazy. While they’re at lets dial down the parody of a good drop shadow on the active window.

A little more consistency and a little more polish won’t hurt OSX, particularly as they try to push into enterprises.

looks good to me, aqua is showing its age.

It’s about time. That bulbous gel look Apple has been using for the last 10 years looks pitiful and took up way too much space on the desktop.

I prefer the Adobe Creative Suite minimalism approach to UI design. Now if Apple would just start using opaque backdrops as well, everything would be groovy.

@Adam.. because if it doesn’t get changed I’m sure people will talk ish just like a lot are saying about Windows 7 looking the same.

Adam — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:31:28 +0000

Nay! Aqua is great and is what makes OS X what it is. Why change it if it ain’t broke?
