Why is there still some inconsistency in OSX? There are STILL circles in some application's red close button and in others there is no circles. In iPhoto and iTunes, the scroll bar is opaque whereas in Safari it is a light blue with a ripple. Now why has iTunes all of a sudden adopted a different theme?
Got a tip for us?

The circles in the close buttons serve a purpose: they indicate whether that document is saved or not. If there are unsaved changes, the circle appears.
Ohhh I see! I've been using a mac for more than a year and I never realised! :O Thanks! But what about the scroll bar and iTunes' new theme?
That's just a product of Apple being the worst violator of their own HIG (human interface guidelines).
Well, the other stuff is visual, not usability inconsistencies. Not that an*l to notice that, as long as it behaves the way I want.

Woah that's cool. Thanks for the tip.

Likewise. However, I hope they lose the aqua scrollbars in favour of iTunes'. That should've been done in Leopard when the unified window style was adopted system-wide.
