Metal Interface on Mail?

iChat and Safari currently sport a "Metal" interface which is also found on iTunes.

Ugh.
Metal is OK for some simple apps, but putting it on EVERYTHING is not the way IMHO. Mail would be super-ugly with metal...

#1- The source is SpyMac
#2- It's about something that doesn't really matter much anyway.

Mail is the only Apple app with the Aqua interface. So that would have been expected to change.
I hope they add a formatting tool bar for composing emails.

I agree that this metal look is cheesy but it seems easier to look at. Is there a date for this upgrade?

Dude,
I think that image looks sweet. I don't mind going against the grain - I like the metal brushed look. You know the windows users are just drooling over something that could unify their os as much as ours is. Go apple!

i really am starting to dislike the metal interface. It worked for quicktime, but now i'm starting to wonder why Apple came up with something as elegant as aqua just to cover it up with brushed metal textures.
