Maybe that's the trick

I haven't used any Jaguar builds, but if the new Aqua interface is just a "toned down" version of what I'm running now is that just a cheap and easy way of making everything run faster and the marketing guys rather than calling it a downgrade decided to call it Quartz Extreme. Just a thought

Naww, it's not really "toned down," it's just a bit more subtle. And fast!

i think they made the aqua theme look less "fuzzy" because every mac now ships with a sharper flatscreen or LCD. that's my guess, anyway. the only difference in the new aqua that i see is a deeper contrast and sharper outlines. it will compliment the new anti-aliasing well, methinks.

It is still just an image. Changing the pixels should not make a difference. you know what I am saying?

I still don't know whether I like jaguar aqua better or puma aqua...

jaguar aqua looks more "flattened"
