    My past interface, my current interface and my dream interface

    So here is the interface I used to have in XPress 4.8.4. Neutral, but classy I think.

    And here is the interface I have in Media Composer, still neutral, but the mix of Aqua window and Avid Siver isn't too fantastic...

    And that's what I would love to have... Classy in Aqua land!
    Made with Photoshop, using the window bars from the "ProApps", aka FCP, DVDStudioPro, etc. That shouldn't be too complicated?

    You're aware that you can set your OSX Interface Apperance to "Graphite", to remove all the Aqua coloured buttons, right?   So then the only conflict is the shades of silver/gray that don't match.  It's not a full solution as to your dream image, but might get you a tiny bit closer.

    best wishes

    Yes I tried it some time ago, nice but as you say: the shade of greys are still way away and those window bars are still plain thick.

    What else could I do on a saturday afternoon... A bit of googling and I found where the WindowBar lives. So I launched Photoshop and changed the whole interface. Next step is to make the window bar thiner, but tomorrow should be sunny, so that will be for later! ;-)

    It's getting there... Thanks to Leopard, the next OSX version, I won't have to use my hack since the windows seem to have the right bar at their top:
