a user to install ShapeShifter would be a perfect mix..
The fight over keeping apps standard IB style is fine, but I see a lot
of apps with small edits in their apps that add to the interface
without changing the user-ability simplification that mac apps are
known for..
Otherwise if all I used was IB the app would suffer from looking
acting and being the same as LOTS of other apps on the market as it is
now/...
And what's the problem with that? Your app should be able to
distinguish itself by what it does. If it is significantly different
from other apps in how it looks, your users will just be confused.

a) Don't do it unless you have a *really* good reason. Mac users hate
that.
b) Write it in Java and use Swing?
c) Write custom controls for everything
d) Persuade Apple that you have an important pro-level application
and they might let you use ProKit (or so I was told at WWDC).
e) Use something like ShapeShifter to change the uI of the whole
machine. (We had film-studio customers who work in dark rooms with
the brightness turned up really high and they needed a dark interface
to avoid being dazzled. This worked for them).
