Actually, if I had followed the HIG they would be even more squashed. Instead, I followed Apple's own apps, because I'm convinced the HIG is wrong. So in my interpretation the layout of the buttons is according to Apple's style. if you don't like this style, that would be towards Apple, they decided not to follow our lead. As for the buttons in the middle, unlike the side bar you cannot completely hide the lower preview, you can only collapse it. the divider always stays visible. As it's also not collapsed in the direction of the buttons, it would look very odd to me to hide those buttons. Christiaan > Just my €0,02.
