I like the idea of having Aqua LAF support in IDEA, but have a feeling I may not like it in practice. The Aqua LAF in 10.1 is much improved, but I think apps will need to do a significant amount of tuning for it in order to look & feel really good - and I'd much rather have the excellent sort-of-Metal UI that IDEA has now than a half-baked Aqua version**.
**just for the record, there is no evidence of IntelliJ shipping anything half-baked so far :-) -----Original Message----- From: Hani Suleiman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 3:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Eap-list] IDEA on Mac OS X 10.1 Good to hear, although I'm still waiting day by day for Aqua LAF support, so IDEA can take advantage of the hardware acceleration for that LAF under OSX... Also I actually quite like the antialiased code, it's disturbing initially, but becomes quite pleasant after a while. >--- Original Message --- >From: Mark Allerton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 10/1/01 6:35:13 PM > >I know there are a few Mac users here, so I thought it was worth mentioning >that IDEA now runs very well indeed under 10.1.
