Hi,
The user is the King.
The users seem to love textured windows.
It is a pity I cannot EASILY make the feature a subject to preferences. (I
could of course keep around 2 (TWO) copies of the interface, textured and
not. - the docs tell that I cannot change this setting of an NSWindow)
Whatever the cute men tell, variety is a plus. The users would be happier if
we had 256 control tints instead of two, 256 "fashions(?)" instead of Aqua,
Graphite and Texture (2 1/2) etc., and our applications were shining with
bright glassy colors of different kinds.
Imagine a ProgressBar turning green/yellow/red depending on its value
(determined) or depending on a side setting (undetermined)... Imagine
drawing simplest charts with a dozen of colored progress bars - Emerald,
Lime or...!
It is great to be chained to "Bondie Blue" in the interface, lack of choice
liberates the soul - but the users are not as cute as the interface
ideologists and they want variety, colors, metallic look...
IMHO, if some interface SEEMS to look a tiny little bit cooler being in a
textured window, let it be textured. (And we need all these alerts and
standard panels to become textured, too - if, say, current main window is
textured...)
After all, perception is ALL and the real reality is beyond our perception
(i.e., it is less real, it hardly even exists...).
Regards
Oleg
