 Possible. Although I'm not sure whether I wouldn't put it into 
NSWorkspace instead so it's

 Good to know. Can't wait to see a newer screenshot :-)

Did I ask for having apps modify their behavior? Sorry, must have been 
the jet lag. If they port to OS X, they'll have to switch to 
NSRoundedBezelStyle, so if you give them rounded buttons for that style, 
they get what they deserve. But otherwise, many apps are expecting 
NSRegularSquareBezelStyle to give them a non-rounded button, so I 
wouldn't make a theme that doesn't do that.

Well, it's your theme. I personally think it looks unpretty, but nobody 
forces me to use your theme.
