Yes, 90% of the page blends together. Because the other 10% is the ACTUAL INFORMATION! Make that information layer the one that everyone notices and responds too, not the screen debris like header rows and "brackets". Time to re-read Edward Tufte? His demos of this are pretty definitive. Contrast for contrast’s sake is rarely good information design. Yes, 90% of the page blends together. Because the other 10% is the ACTUAL INFORMATION!

I think you're right--I'd pay $35 for that. Definitely my least favorite feature in OS X. Until now, hopefully! Wow. I think you’re right–I’d pay $35 for that.

It seems to be totally undocumented in the HIG (the guidelines apple publishes) but as far as I can tell in 10.6 green jewel switches between full-window and previous-state, rather than the insanity it has wreaked in all other versions of OSX (making windows smaller than you'd ever want them, making them tall and thin or short and fat for no reason). That alone is worth the 35$ upgrade ;) Joey: I’ve actually noticed a total turnaround on green jewel in Snow Leopard.

The thing that still bugs me, though, is that the green jewel button doesn't always maximize the window. In some apps, it just changes the window size. Is this different in Snow Leopard? Or do you know a workaround? Great tip. The thing that still bugs me, though, is that the green jewel button doesn’t always maximize the window. In some apps, it just changes the window size.

For the plugin slam my intention was that people with choose WordPress plugins that they like and present them. Your screechy thing isn't a WP plugin is it? If you're looking for personal gallery themes then doing a google search for WordPress Portfolio theme might help. You probably saw my message to the WordCamp montreal list right? You know you can reply there if you want instead of coming to my blog :) CKUT sounds fun :) Phone might be easier for me if that's okay, let me know via. email and I'll send you my phone number and be ready to answer :) Hey Valerie,
