Could Apple just ditch the whole brushed metal look all together? I know the inconsistency it creates is minor and only aesthetically bad, but Apple should accept be striving for nothing short of perfection, damit!
<strong>You don't need Jaguar to turn it off -- just the developer tools (though Jaguar IS nice itself!). For example, take a look at what I did to my iPhoto app:
Cool, huh?

Wow DtarfleetX, i WUV my vew iPhoto! ^__^
I couldn't do it myself though, so I had to download the english nib from the MacNN-forum. It just kept saying "can't find the ASK palette" or somethign like that when I tried opening the nib.
I like the brushed metal look. It denotes a window that can be dragged by clicking on most areas. It is used on Apple apps that have windows with lots of empty space in them. If normal Aqua was used in these apps, then you couldn't drag their windows in as many areas. In this sense, the brushed metal GUI is indicative of functionality.
Also, I think in large windows, brushed metal looks better than a vast expanse of pin-striped white.

It doesn't need a DevTool hack.

Well, at least now my iPhoto is AlumiteX-ized..

The longer you whine about it, the longer Apple will keep it around.
