| Well, I for one can't stand it. I think it's the worst thing UI wise in Mac OS X. How could they ever plan to have *two* themes for their own applications? Well, reminds me that their video apps don't follow the Aqua guidelines either. Maybe Apple is schizophrenic in that respect.

| I don't mind them that much. I just want consistency. Between the two, I prefer Aqua.

| I think they have their uses. For example, I believe iTunes looks great in it, but I don't think it'd be as good in Aqua. iMove looks good in it, but I doubt Aqua would look good on it. I think the new sherlock looks bad in it, but I also think the Sherlock 2 looks bad in Aqua. It doesn't use a standard toolbar which bothers me. Mail looks good as Aqua and would suck as brushed metal. I think it's just a matter of which Application it's used on and what you're personal preference is. |

| It makes design/UI sense... your utilities... bread and butter tools... need to be stableized. Brushed steel is more grounding and solid than Aqua. It's not that Aqua isn't great, it's that a visual cue to help people understand the difference between the tools that apple provides and other third party apps. Having iTunes and QuickTime Player are visibly different. Because Apple expects you to use these things so much, they want new users to start making assumptions about how to use them... and they can all use similar usage paradigms... So yeah... brushed steel doens't bother me. |
