Re: [Bibdesk-develop] Main window style

Dear Christiaan, Christiaan Hofman wrote: Why don't you press the developers of this simulation software to stay up-to-date? They're really very far behind if they're classic. That would be me. ;-)    This is very complicated for many reasons, most of all getting a really outstanding software engineer who could help me in accomplishing this rather demanding project, which I estimate requires up to one person year of work. RAMSES (http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/) is about 3/4 Million lines of source code large. There is an entire philosophy behind, that is not easy to implement with C, IMHO the plague of our times when it comes to programing. If you should be interested what this is all about, have a look at Fischlin (1991). Andreas Cited references: -------------------- Fischlin, A., 1991. Interactive modeling and simulation of environmental systems on workstations. In: Möller, D. P. F. & Richter, O. (eds.). Analysis of Dynamic Systems in Medicine, Biology, and Ecology. Springer: Berlin a.o.. 131-145.  (http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/Publications.html#Fi37)    Fi037  http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/Abstracts/Fi037.html And there is absolutely no relation between OS version and the bibtex format. If we ever will ditch the bibtex format for a native file format, that will be a new app called something like BibDesk 2.0, but that development is basically separate from OS support. Anyway, chances for that are extremely low, as this project is mostly dead and there's nobody around working on it. Glad and comforting to hear this.

So now that we've ditched Tiger, I wonder whether we should move to a more standard style. Now Apple's apps basically have two styles, especially when it comes to the status bar: a bottom bar that reflects the title window with a dark line on top, like in iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, or a light gradient like in Mail, Preview 5.0. one advantage of the latter is that it can have partial bottom bars, only in the side panel, something BibDesk currently can also have. I am not sure what we should do: keep our style, or go to either one of the standard styles. What do others on this list think?
