Funny; people used to say that about the old toolbar icons. :-)
Perhaps you should consider a "Waste cycles drawing trendy, large 3D
junk"....
(For those who don't know, around the time of the Mac OS 7/8
transition, when 3D controls were where such features as metal
windows are today, the Eudora e-mail application, being an old
timer's stalwart even then, stuck for a long time to its traditional
but perfectly functional and very efficient flat-style interface.
However, after many young 'uns issued loud complaints about the
program needing to be modernized--just like what's happened to poor
BBEdit in the last few years--Eudora's author added the new UI
features but made them optional. The preferences option that
controlled this part of the UI was called 'Waste cycles drawing
trendy 3D junk" to reflect the author's disdain of the 'modern' UI
style while acknowledging the need to yield to current market
requirements. The new toolbar in BBEdit is clearly the result of
similar yielding. That said, although I much prefer the old icons for
their small size, I do love the increased use of the status area and
the navigation bar.)

Bob
