Fake leather? On a computer screen? Um, no.

Am I the only one that thinks the leather-bound metaphor is wrong on a desktop OS? Brushed metal looks great compared to this :|

Trying too hard to make digital objects represent their real life counterparts.

Btw, I noticed the favicon on Safari - have they got them working on DP2?

What do the event windows look like? Come on AI, that was the most complained about part of every version of iCal. First the silly drawer. Then the same limited UI, but in an even sillier bubble. Then finally in a barely functional mini-window. Why no description/screen shot of this part of iCal?

If Apple didn't fix the event/invite window, then I'd suggest they need to spend far less time on fake leather title bars and other iOS candy and focus on making the product more functional. I see a lot of resources being used on non-functional eye candy that could have been used on something useful like a better event window, better snoozing, or, dare I mention it, keeping Rosestta.

Please tell me this is some sick April Fools joke.... :vomit:

Usually I like Apple's graphics....I really like how the current OSX is rather subdued and elegant.

I've never really liked the "wood" in GarageBand or the bookshelf on the iPad and iPhone. But perhaps I just have to get used to it.

I hope we can have a choice of using the leather "skin" or stay with the muted grays and blues of OSX.

Waiting for the Buffalo Bill hack for all this Lion faux-leather just so it can be even tackier.

I hope this is a joke, that design is embarrassingly tacky.
