Hello,
I don't think the method setControlTint is the solution I'm looking
for,
because only a few classes have such a method, NSWindow doesn't.
Maybe my
question was to general.
Is there a way without using private methods to set the complete
appearance
of an application to NSGraphiteControlTint, although the control
tint in
System Preference is set to NSBlueControlTint.
I understand how important the appearance is to mac apps. But the
NSGraphiteControlTint is used by some apps to give them a "pro-app"
appearance. Do you really drag Apples "pro-apps" like Aperture into
the
trash, because they look different? ;-)
I think for some few apps it is okay to violate the "Aqua-HIG".
Aperture for
example wouldn't look so great with a blue aqua appearance.
Thanks, Ralph.
Pro-Apps (FCP, Motion, etc...) use ProKit rather than AppKit and it is
all private.
iTunes has its own widgets it seems.
iMovie may be somewhere in between.
If you're wanting the look of any of those, you'll need to do one of 2
things:
- build your own controls
- use some controls somebody else built
