Ever since I've started using OS X, I've thought the interface would
become more gray over the years. It's much softer on the eyes; I'm
not really a fan of white. Though I haven't thought much about what
may someday happen to general textfields. Turning down brightness is
not really enough but anything else is not too attractive.
I haven't thought much about it in a while. There are normal apps,
metal, unified, and pro app looks. These days, save when I need
color, I always use white on black (Universal Access). It's so much
more comfortable I can't really look at normal color anymore. :)
Perhaps we'll see a future system preference to change the entire OS
look. Something neutral and easier look at like pro apps through out.

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?
