Re: [Off-Topic] AQUA: just add water; round next/back buttons



Martin-Gilles complained about Aqua. I share several of his complaints (in particular the ambiguity of an unselected checkbox, and the blah disclosure triangles).

I know someone that doesn't like aqua altogether. He leaves his
appearance to "graphite" because he feels the bluish color is
distracting.

I run in Graphite because I don't like the colored gadgets in windows -- I actually like the bluish color, and wish I could mix and match.

Getting the help question mark would be cool, too ;)

Use a bevel button, with an icon suite resource, with resource ID, um, 45265 (that's what Constructor is showing, it probably means a negative number -- kHelpIconResource probably).

Under OSX, you can make it round by setting kControlBevelButtonKindTag to kThemeRoundButton.
