what apple should do is have a skinable/theme manager like in OS 9, where u can change the color of pretty much everything. Maybe for Tiger?

You are all aware you can tell any app with a "customize toolbar" menu item to use SMALL icons with or without text, right??

And then there's this new Susan look in Tiger coming up (probably). I wonder whether Apple will actually break down the looks and make it all Susan (and just forget about Aqua and Brushed Metal altogether), or we'll have _three_ different looks at the end of the day (when Tiger's released in 2005). But I agree that Apple should get its act together and unify in one or the other way. I'm all _against_ giving the user total control over the interface. If you look at what people did with Kaleidoscope (or just MS Windows)... Free control for the user over system fonts and their _colour_? Argh! Nah!

I like both aqua and brushed metal. if i had to pick one i would like the metal better. I just wish that apple would stick to it's own rules for when to use each window style and then also not come up with one of a kind windows like in garageband.

Hopefully they will just stick with that new look in Tiger, the blend of aqua and metal. Having two different window textures is annoying enough...
