I'm starting out on a new app and considering interface design.
For inspiration I look at the existing iApps (it'll be for newbies)
and the OS itself.
In Tiger the mail app has a new feel about it, shared by other things
such as spotlights search window. It seems to have gone away from the
brushed metal so a software color scheme with thinner lines. When you
are using the app the window areas are grey, when you move off them
they are the old lined style. The buttens have a real nice feel to them.
So the question is, in Interface designer there are all the tools and
widgets and styles for the more traditional metal style, but how
would I go about trying to make something look and feel similar to
Mail?!
Is this a general trend in app look and feel do we think?
