[owaters]

What is going on with the buttons in iChat?
They seem to have changed with 10.2.3........and they're awful!

Bring back the old ones! (below)

If anyone can find someway of changing them back please contact me!
Thanks

Yeah, I was also full of awe when I first saw those fine buttons, I like em better, But maybe Apple will give a choice in a future update for which set, I guess you will see these only on Cocoa apps. They're also in the Calculator.

I like the way the new buttons look with the brushed metal appearance.

Hmm -- it sort of makes sense to have sunken in buttons on the metal apps, but how come the rest of the buttons are still sitting on top of the windows, with drop shadows and all? (e.g., the number buttons in the calculator).

weird.

Makes em easier to find by feel

Get over it!

It makes Metal windows look better.

I'm sure SOMEONE will make a "Previous Aqua" theme.

Hell.. Maybe I'LL do it.

 

[Jasoco]

Sorry.

It's not as easy as it seems.

I give up. They changed the size and locations of the widget graphics so the shadow throws it off when trying to put them back.

I give up.

I can't be your hero.

Let someone else do it. I like the recessed widgets. But I don't use Aqua, so it doesn't matter to me.

This is changed in Address Book also. It seems Apple is making the change to compliment some new hardware that will have a similar look to it. Might be a phone, might be some sort of digital video device, might be a firewire toilet plunger... I guess we will find out in the next couple of weeks.

No. Guys. It's changed in any.. ANY window that uses the standard "Textured Window" option. Hello? I thought people would UNDERSTAND this by now?

This also does NOT include old leftover metal apps that do not use the new method of metal like QuickTime, iTunes and iPhoto.

Ugh.. It's too early.

The brother of a friend, whose friend works for Apple, told me about a new iBook. I can't remember how he went about describing it to me, but I pictured something like a Powebook... its color.
