i thought we got rid of black and white in 1990?
Says who?
I like that look way more than even the current Leopard gray look.
More modern and sleek.
im just saying, i want it to look nice an juicy i guess. if i wanted to use a greyscale ui, i would get a 128 Macintosh
oke oke I get it...you don't like the black windows.
But the buttons (Add / Don't Add), sliders and scrollbars are nice
no not really...But the buttons (Add / Don't Add), sliders and scrollbars are nice

Nope they are almost the worse part, that theme just makes me think of some kind of sci-fi movie where they are in space in the future but the computer system is trying to be futuristic but really it looks crap and depressingly bland, way too dark, would feel like sitting in a dark room all day with a theme like that.
Dude that's some imagination you have there!
The MobileMe buttons and sliders (KISS theme) are really cool when you use them...even with Leopard.
And as if Leopard doesn't feel dated and depressing...It's freakin' gray!!!
I know it can be a hinder sometimes but i think it could be a super power
True leopard is already on a depressing level with the grey and everything but its nicer then the whole glossy black thing going on in vista and these mock ups. What i want to see is an interesting grey, one like tiger it was grey but a metallic brushed metal much nicer i think then leopard grey.
Bring the iPhone's Safari scroll bar.
+1
I don't want to look at the scroll bar when i don't need it.
so how would that work if someone didnt have a scroll ball? not many people use the arrow keys to scroll down.
Its been said a million times before, when you move the mouse to the side they would then appear just like when using full screen in pages!
The same is true for nearly everyone.
Again, you and just about everyone else.
Meaning what? It's a total waste of screen real estate 99% of the time. Once the document fully loads, you see the relative size of the page, it fades away. You can check your progress each time you scroll when it fades in. The functionality is still the same. It remains a scrollbar, with a thumb and track reflecting the proportional length.
The only real difference is that it becomes an unobtrusive overlay on the document and doesn't waste 20 pixels of space in both directions on every window for a UI element that, as you say, is largely non-interactive in 2009. Anyone who does use it will have to drag their mouse over to the side of the window anyway, so it's no extra labor.
Just wanted to add that I completely agree with you. After using Mobile Safari it's obvious this is the way to go.
People seem to think its outdated and doesnt fit in well with the direction apple is obviously heading towards.
I agree.
That sounds way to far fetched. I doubt any new UI will be revealed in just a developer seed in the middle of the beta period. Shun anyone who thinks that something will pop out before WWDC!!
But that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to seeing some UI changes. I'm quite excited about it!

The whole mac thing is new to me, having just purchased my first mac last fall. So I'm still fascinated with the UI as it is. One thing for sure is that it is way better than xp.
