Omniweb interface in Leopard?
Now that I've digested the keynote it's obvious that Leopard will bring [I]many[/I] interface changes, and the 2 that would directly affect Omniweb being:
- The new (darker) window style. Many icons that work on the lighter unified toolbar look odd on the new window and lack contrast. In particular I noted that Preview.app now uses Mail.app style lozenges - Also from Preview.app, it looks possible that drawers are no more I'd love to hear what the devs plan once they're back from WWDC. |
Its an absolute certainty that drawers are gone (score 1 for my prediction in the drawer versus sidebar thread) - if they are to conform to the Apple IG for Leopard all windows in all apps are now to be boring-iTunes-lookalikes and that means sidebars and no drawers. Exposé just got stupidly difficult to use. Sigh.

While I prefer the sidebar over drawer method, I heartily agree that this is going to make life really hard to see which window is the one you want. The dark platinum theme works for iTunes, but I think it's going to be too dark system-wide for my tastes. :( |
I just switched [URL="http://gui.interacto.net/"]UNO[/URL] to the darker theme to get into Leopard mood (that theme feels even darker than the Leopard one, because it also darkens the standard window background colour), and after a few days it feels just natural. I wouldn't be too concerned over the visual impact, there is little.
