Yeah, I tend to regrab the pattern with each OS X release.
Yup. But very fiddly. :-)
If Apple keeps fading the stripes, it'll eventually return to Platinum. :)
LOL!!
Expectations have indeed been lowered by sloppy developers, but I see
other people's laziness as our competitive advantage: apply nothing more
than the discipline we learn from Day 1 designing for Mac OS, reading the
HIG and applying as appropriate, when we move our apps to Windows the
integrate better with Microsoft's work than some of our competitors who've
been there for years.
Indeed. And your observation is a good one. Microsoft always gave me the
feeling that they were going to have a GUI too! But we'll make it different
enough to be different. Plus the MDI concept has had a *huge* impact on
Windows HIG and app's in general. I was surprised Linux desktops are so
similar to Windows and not Mac. Though my main work is still on Windows
boxes I really do find the Mac cleaner and tidier. Kind of comparing
"class" and "ass". <vbg>
But of course cross-platform HIG adherence will only be pervasive in the
Rev community to the degree the tool makes it easy. If folks have to jump
through hoops just to adopt conventions, must of their work will look out
of synch with modern conventions, reflecting badly on RunRev.
I agree. One thing that does annoy me is a lack of decorations in modal
dialogs under Windows with Rev app's. I can fake it easy enough - but I
wish I didn't have too.
So for the benefit of RunRev Ltd and all of us, for your voting pleasure:

Will vote as soon as my ISP gets http working again (it seems to be down
right now).
