 | | yeah, the problem is not that metal windows look heavy (although they do), the problem is that the fact that there are two kinds of windows makes the interface inconsistent. | | | The first thing I think of is that NetNewsWire could then use a metal window, since it provides a source list. | | | It is now suggested that any window that “provides a source list to navigate information—for example, iTunes or the Finder” can be a metal window. |

| | Michael Tsai - Blog - Source Lists and Brushed Metal |
| | March 4, 2005 10:23 PM I think Apple also uses the brushed metal to make the software more visually in sync with their (future) hardware. | | | and Terminal.app should be metal because it's used to interface to hardware. | | | For example, it works well for the iSync application window, but it does not work very well for the TextEdit document window. |

| | E popularized the brushed metal back in the mid 1990s :) I personally kinda like the look: it's much more edgy than the (IMHO) same-old, same-old rut computer interfaces seem to have fallen into. | | | Its even worse due to the fact that Apple has such a normally rigid HIG, but the entire purpose of even having brushed metal apps is simply mind boggling, to me. | | | Personally, I want my computer to look like: http://www.xeofreestyle.com :) Of course, this whole brushed metal thing points out a flaw in Apple's dogma. |

| | Daring Fireball: Does This Brushed Metal Stuff Really Even Matter? |

| | Creating Brushed Metal |
| | Brushed metal is easy to create in Photoshop and is very useful as a base. | | | After you apply some effects to these bases in the next chapter and begin to build up a texture, you will see what can be done with a few simple base textures and some creativity. | | | Like most base textures, this does not look like much now (see Figure 2.34), but look at a real piece of brushed metal under even lighting and this is what you see. |

| | I can't say it perceptively slows the applications down (it depends upon your machine), but the metal texture takes a lot more computational resources than simply filling an area with color. | | | If you're on a super-fast machine you probably won't notice it. | | | I became aware of this because at WWDC I overheard an Apple engineer talk about how expensive it is to draw the metal texture and why. |
