Guys, I think I downloaded the wrong developer release. My Mac OS GUI is looking a lot more polished and refined than what I am seeing on apple.com

@Eggfreckles @NorwayJose I like the version number. Really was NeXTSTEP 5+.

I’ve been using the same OS since 1988. :) (overlooking a few unfortunate gaps…)

@morrick @Eggfreckles Gods, that was beautiful.

Sure, a little boxy, but get those toolbar icons out of their boxes, shrink them by a quarter or so, and you've got something pretty dang solid.

Clear distinction between UI and data/content. Obvious controls. Visual affordances.
