OSX does the same thing across apps and tools, with different menu styles that don't match etc.

- robbyt 7y agoDo you have any examples?
- Eric_WVGG 7y agoJohn Siracusa used to write about this in his old OS X reviews… Apple would do weird things like make a dark title bar for Garage Band, then a title bar with vertical "traffic" lights in iTunes that wasn't used anywhere else, then a normal looking title bar that was just a few-pixels off in margin from the stock title bar… It's all kind of weird and silly, but nothing at all like Windows where you can suddenly jump into the Windows 2000 UI at any turn.
- saagarjha 7y agoUnlike Windows, though, these were conscious decisions where applications decided to ditch platform controls and roll their own. Windows just has a dozen different UI frameworks that each do their own thing.
- DonHopkins 7y agoI like to configure the Windows desktop to look like Windows 2000. It makes me feel 19 years younger!
- Razengan 7y agoIt's not a matter of "it must either be a desert or either a rainforest." Neither OS is faultlessly perfect in any area, but the macOS side of the UI consistency fence is definitely, objectively, much greener.
