That doesn't sound very "Mac-like". Are the changes you're talking
about
going to be ubiquitous or may they vary by OS?

You can change background, and a lot of other presentation colours,
and it
goes for all your docs, yes. I can choose Aqua-blue if I like.

Hi Guy,
Perhaps I should have been more explicit. It isn't the color that
makes an application 'Mac-like'. My first home computer was a PDT-11.
My next machine was a Mac. I did all sorts of work from desktop
publish to desktop audio and video on the Mac. I found at one point I
was using 113 different applications. I feel that what made that
possible was the consistency between Mac applications. For example the
menus were all the same. Items that made no sense in one application
had all the same basic menu items but some were grayed out. Were it
not for this consistency I could never have handled so many
applications. When Apple went to UNIX they began to lose some of this
consistency but I still have found, at least for the apps I need, to
be more alike on a Mac than a Windows machine.
