I noticed that after installing iLife '06 all of my Apple apps have the "plastic" look to them. Not just the iLife apps, Safari, iChat, Finder, everything. I didn't know that iLife did all this. Anyone notice this?

Apple wouldn't make their iLife suite change the general GUI of Mac OS 10.

Than how did it change? I also installed iLife on my iBook, but it still has the brushed metal. Just noticed that ALL programs, even 3rd party ones are the plastic type, not brished metal but only on my Mac mini. I know what this is!!! Wow...I installed a theme and forgot about it....nice one.......I think I might leave it thought, I like the look, it looks new and clean.

I like it too. It's an incredibly clean look. With all the discussion surrounding a unified theme, this is certainly my favorite, and I think that Apple should adopt this as the default standard theme for all of OS X.

I agree, however Apple can't even seem to be able to find a unified theme for iLife apps (compare the window corners for iPhoto and iWeb for example), let alone the whole OS. Definetlely one of my 2 major bugbears with Mac OS X (the other being the shilling of .Mac).
