Probably completely wrong list, but hey, maybe I can get directions anyway.

So far we have:
* Plain old Aqua.
* Unified toolbar look.
* Brushed metal.
* Pro Apps.
* Garageband (In a league of it's own)
And most recently
* iTunes 5 (Unified toolbar in a darker shade and less rounded corners)


And that is from Apple alone, am I missing some as well?

Honestly, I don't care if they are using Brushed Metal, Unified, Pro or Aqua.


What I just would like as a developer is a real theme-able UI API.

By this, I mean that I should not have to tweak all widgets to have for instance a UI conform to the Brushed Metal look (if this is at least defined and widespread, which it is not yet).

I would like to have to put a button, a text field, a window and use a simple API such as [NSApp setTheme:NSBrushedMetalTheme];

Or, at least, this could be a feature of InterfaceBuilder.

Yea, but I think there is no setting for this cause even apple doesn't know what themes they wanna keep or not!


What I would like is each control to have a delegate that can do the drawing on behalf of the control or cell
like (if delegate != nil) { [delegate drawInteriorWithFrame:frame inView:view] } that way we don't need to subclass controls to
add custom drawing... _______________________________________________
