I stopped taking note of the excuses Apple pass as their ‚HIG‘ these days. They don’t stick to them anyway. I do watch the applications, though. As I mentioned before, whether or not the bottom corners of a window are rounded, seems to be a good indicator of its ‚style‘. > Then you did not try correctly, because it really does work. Of course I did try correctly and it didn’t work. Turn off the status bar, turn it on again and it doesn’t work for some reason. > I did not find any comment in the HIG that this bottom bar is related to > single-window apps.

To me the description of window types suggests that one shouldn’t use it for document windows but only for what Apple call application windows. > Basically what I'm saying is that you're not being consistent with Apple's > declared style guidelines, and that's what I'm trying to get to. Well, great job ;) Apple’s HIG seem much more random and less research-based these days than they used to be. Apple’s own teams don’t seem to be particularly keen on sticking to them either and my impression is that they are frequently adjusted to justify the latest UI fads. So I’d rather try to find a way to make things as unexciting and useful as possible. Best Sven -- Sven-S. Porst . http://earthlingsoft.net/ssp .
