I don't use a Mac, but I've always wondered why some apps in Mac have brushed metal, some are smooth white-ness, and GarageBand has that weird wooden interface? I saw in screenshots of Tiger what looked like the update to the brushed interface, but it's just white, shiny and smooth (no pinstripes). What are the reasons for different interface styles? I'm guessing "looks cool" but I was wondering if there was some kind of purpose, like the windows behave differently or such. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/There's stuff above here
