inessential: Standard Controls
17 Jul 2014 • inessential.comFive and even ten years ago, Mac developers would tell you that you can’t release a Mac app that uses standard controls with their standard appearance.
Mac users would look at iTunes and the iLife apps and expect something more like those — and it was impossible to get that look without lots of customization. …
I think this is changing. A big part — the hugest part — is Apple, with iOS 7 and Yosemite, moving back to consistency and to a design language that looks great, makes sense, and is used by the standard components.
Moving in the right direction here.
