So basically this adds some skeumorphic mac buttons ??? and a drop shadow?

  Yes, the Mac buttons really seem unnecessary and a subtle advert and bias towards Macs.

  Skeuomorphic is more than a tired cliche buzzword for pretend designers that want to voice their disagreement. It actually is a style for ornamental designs that mimic real-world things. Three flat-colored circles in a row on a flat surface do not look like realistic items at all, they are actually the opposite, a stylized representation of a real life object.

    in this context, it's being used more in the "spirit" than in the traditional direct physical resemblance. In this context, the "spirit" is indicating that simulating a "mac window", which serves no major purpose in elucidating source code, which is analogous (but not strictly identical, of course) to simulating physical buttons in another context.

      So it’s the same, except it’s something else completely.
