but how would I go about trying to make something look and feel
similar to Mail?!
It's called the unified title/toolbar look... because that's what
it is.
Interface Builder > NSWindow Inspector > Attributes > Unified title/
toolbar look
Is this a general trend in app look and feel do we think?
For applications that shouldn't be using brushed metal, hopefully
yes. Brushed metal has a purpose and a place and so do the other
looks. Each has unique characteristics that are handy, depending
on scenario.
I agree. In general, though, I think that brushed metal and the
unified look make much more sense. In "traditional" windows, the
space between toolbar buttons is just that -- empty and useless space
that can not even be used for dragging the window around. The
distiction between titlebar and toolbar is rather arbitrary and
doesn't really add anything.
