SL UI Issue (Why does it look different?)

Is System Preferences actually selected or did you click on the Desktop or anywhere else outside the SP window to make it inactive?
Because that would explain the look. Except the stripes though.
Have you installed any themes or other UI changing hacks or applications?

No the window is selected, look at the traffic lights, when it's not selected the top bar also has the stripes.
i installed a system cleaner like Onyx but cant for the life of me remember what it was called, maybe that had UI options.

Ah, I was blind, but now that I can see, I don't really have an answer.
The signature says 13" MBP, which weren't around one year or even four years ago.
Btw, Tiger System Preferences look like this:
13" MBP shipped with Leopard. The chances for such a modification would be higher in 10.5 giving the amount of time the theming community had.
That said, they still may be running some theme on 10.6. Maybe they bought it used and the person had it on there. Who knows.
Meaning she could be running Leopard. At no point in time did it cross my mind that she was running 10.4. Don't insult me.
At what point did i become a she? 
It's SL, you can tell by the energy saver bulb, i remembered the program i installed was Secrets which has a make everything metal option, that's the only thing i could have changed. I've not used any themes or mods. I tried reinstalling it and turning the option on and off but it just goes back to that stripey nonsense.

Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and copy&paste this:
Then hit return.
Code:
defaults write -g AppleUseCoreUI -bool YES && defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUseLeopardWindowValues YES && killall Finder
