Re: Re: How do I create apps with the Pro grey interfaces ?



e) Something like that but just in the one app without having to force
a user to install ShapeShifter would be a perfect mix..

The fight over keeping apps standard IB style is fine, but I see a lot
of apps with small edits in their apps that add to the interface
without changing the user-ability simplification that mac apps are
known for..

Otherwise if all I used was IB the app would suffer from looking
acting and being the same as LOTS of other apps on the market as it is
now/...

a) Don't do it unless you have a *really* good reason. Mac users hate
that.
b) Write it in Java and use Swing?
c) Write custom controls for everything
d) Persuade Apple that you have an important pro-level application
and they might let you use ProKit (or so I was told at WWDC).
e) Use something like ShapeShifter to change the uI of the whole
machine. (We had film-studio customers who work in dark rooms with
the brightness turned up really high and they needed a dark interface
to avoid being dazzled. This worked for them).
