Brushed metal windows were Carbon, I think. I'm also pretty sure what you're saying of Cocoa is not true though. Just got a Mac user nearby to demonstrate it, actually. You have to click in the titlebar to move the window. Not having Alt-Click-and-move-from-anywhere is one of my big complaints about Apple's window manager. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
