I wasn't suggesting to go Leopard-only, just that it will be expected
behavior in future.

That's a good point; I agree that some distinction between the rows/
names is good. I also don't like alternating-color rows in the
editor, so that's not a good option.

What doesn't work in the normal/bordered styles? Editing seemed to
work ok for me. The bezel style looks most familiar. A grid doesn't
look so bad either (better than the bordered style cells, I think). I
wonder if some sort of custom bezel would look good---maybe a round-
rect or something...

It works if you use
if ([self isWindowLoaded] && [[self window] isVisible] == NO)
[self attachWindow];
in MacroTextFieldWindowController. BibDesk only checks for -isVisible
== NO right now.
