The habit of Windows apps to have entirely custom UIs is relatively unknown on Macs
Except for all the apps that do. Like iTunes (ships with OS X) and the Mac App Store app (ships with OS X). And Quicktime (ships with OS X).
Even some popular non-Apple apps like Twitter.

- nknight 15y agoEr, those are not entirely custom UIs, they use standard widgets in well-defined ways that the platform/window manager understands.
- statictype 15y agoThe question was about the title bar chrome. iTunes positions the traffic light buttons vertically when compact. The Mac App Store app positions them in the center of the title area instead of the top. Quicktime has its own chrome entirely. I'm not complaining about it, just pointing out that non-standard chromes are present on the Mac in Apple's own apps.
