For some reason, the textured controls are now transparent (e.g., Textured Rounded and Textured Square of NSSegmentedControl etc.)
 From the AppKit Release Notes:

----------
Button Appearance Changes (New since early 2011 seed)

As part of an ongoing refresh of Aqua in Mac OS X Lion, some buttons look different and may not look the same in every context in your application. Specifically, the “Round Textured” button is not appropriate in any context other than directly on the background of a textured window. If you are using this kind of button in a table view or other context, please consider changing it to a “Round Rect” button.

Thanks Andreas!

Actually, I finally realized what the real issue is: Apple for some reason didn't "refresh" NSSegmentedControl Rounded style to match the new appearance of NSTabView controls on Lion.

So NSSegmentedControl still looks like the old Aqua blueish "liquified" controls. Which will look totally out of place on Lion.

I'll submit an appropriate request to Apple. Like - hello Apple! This is something you really had to update. And please bring back the colorful Finder sidebar with custom icons and Devices on top, so that it becomes user-friendly again (you did not have to ruin it really)!!

Best,
Leo
