Why is Konfabulator "Pretty?"

Bill,
I use OSX all of the time and also see the look and feel correctly. I
just bought a Sony Laptop and hooked up a 20" monitor side by side
with my 23" Apple cinema display. I am using XP pro and Office 2003.
I am noticing just how far windows has come in look and feel. I am
just getting used to (again) to the HIG of XP.
I am curious as to how consistent this look is? When I change the
Appearance and Themes from Windows XP [Modified] to Windows XP the
entire look and feel changes. Let alone to Classic or a downloaded one.
I also notice that the text in menus and buttons has many choices
including transition effects and shadows etc.
I guess what I am asking is with all of these possible choices and
combinations, how do I or how is Rev supposed to handle all of those
changes. (not a complaint but instead an understanding is needed)
I mean XP [Modified] I guess by Sony is nice to look at but regular
XP is quite ugly to me. Who do I target? Who do I create my look and
feel towards? I usually write my own menus and buttons and look and
feel bypassing the system defaults but what do I do when I need to do
a traditional type application (in the context of this discussion).
Curious about your insights,
Tom
