That’s fair, but I found it grating in any app I looked at for a decent length of time, like web browsers. I think brushed metal with stricter usage guidelines (followed by Apple) that wasn’t per App but per Window-type could have stuck around. Having some way to distinguish Apps and window types in Exposé isn’t that worst thing in the world and was about the only redeeming aspect of Apple’s Lion theming choices. Anyway, I used Firefox and Camino around that time.
