The NetBeans look and feel on Mac OS X is outdated. The look of toolbars, tabs, sliding windows and close buttons should be updated to be follow new L&F of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). For an example of the new L&F see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Xcode-helloworld.png There seems to be a big community of Ruby developers on Mac. If we're serious about getting more of them on NetBeans, we should fix the look and feel.
Assigning to myself, for the UI work. I will reassign back when a UI spec. is done.
i integrated most of the changes to core-main today. there are still some minor and cosmetic issues left which will be resolved via separate issues. i suggest making a screenshot of current development build with all the mac l&f changes and declaring it as the ui specification for the new mac l&f...
Great! Thanks, Stando. I saw the integration (bunch of changesets) flow into main repo a while ago. Stando, attach a screenshot of the main trunk build with the new UI here as soon as you get a build of trunk with the change.

Mostly done, closing. There are some minor remaining inconsistencies which are already filed as individual issues. Thanks to all who have participated and provided feedback from both xDesign and development team! Big thanks to Standa for excellent implementation and paying attention to design details!
