Do you think of OS X's look'n'feel as flashy eye-candy? I don't. :-) It is very clean, very fresh, minimal in most cases (and becoming less funky with every OS X release). It might appear to be flashy because it's so different. - Jeff -- gnome.conf.au 2005: April 19th http://live.gnome.au/Canberra2005 "...and did you know that Twisties have real cheese in them?" - Dave "I didn't even think they had real twists in them!" - Andrew _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
