(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
Guy English on Cocoa Shaders:
"Keeping up with the Joneses UI trends on Mac OS X can take a fair amount of programming and artistic effort. With the HIG becoming antiquated and new implicit design guidelines become more prevalent we find that Cocoa doesn’t provide us with au-currant controls right out of the box. So we’re left with either rolling our own or making do."
