@nevali incidentally, this mockup looks like a blend of Macintosh System 7 and BeOS (which didn’t exist yet)

Mac menu bar, including Chicago typeface
BeOS-style isometric icons and “tabbed” title bars

@chucker @nevali Love that screenshot. The right area of the screen survived in early Apple Rhapsody user interface designs as the Shelf and makes me think folks from Apple's Taligent team where still at Apple in the late '90s as they started to figure out a post-Platinum UI for Mac OS X

@chrisgervais @nevali I swear I’ve seen that somewhere in a PDF. Do you happen to remember which one?

@chucker @nevali the tabbed title bars were not invented by BeOS nor there: Smalltalk on the Xerox Alto already had them in the 1970s.
Surely people working on this in the 90s looked at the Xerox Alto and also at Douglas Engelbart's work the same way we look at their work now!

@chucker @nevali This does look very BeOS! <3

That said, they already had tab-style titlebars early on during Lisa/Macintosh development and then discarded them again. https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Busy_Being_Born.txt&sortOrder=Sort+by+Date]

@chucker @nevali I can smell the ozone emanating from those printer icons. Gorgeous.
