I think that's the point, really.  OS-*like*.  It doesn't *quite* look the
same as would be expected from a native app.  It's surprisingly tricky to do
this in general.  For example, when FireFox went with an OS-like theme,
there were many complaints from mac people that it still felt out of place.
Even if you get the look right, quite frequently, the behaviours aren't all
there.  My favourite example is Cmd-Ctrl-D.  I a native mac app, this looks
up a word in the dictionary.  In an app with an OS-like theme, it goes
beep.  Beep.  Beep.  Your word means Beep.
