nyolc8 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 As you know, iTunes 11 coming in october with brand new UI. I looked on apple website and I just noticed that the window having new lighter grey colors, flatter window borders and glassier window control buttons (x - +) with almost no border. Maybe OS X 10.9 design started to appear...? Those window control buttons starting to look like a little bit retro for me.

Inklin Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think it looks quite nice, a definite improvement over what we are used to. It looks great without the sidebar, IMO it was pointless and it makes more sense to have the buttons at the top. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

mattking Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I really like the look aside from that terrible center display with the apple logo. It looks like someone cut a section of the app out and that's the background underneath.

Very strange iTunes 11 won't be out before late October. You can manually download iTunes 10.7 from Apple Software Update or http://www.apple.com/itunes - it looks largely the same as the current version though.

It's the interface that's still largely the same old stuff and needs to be updated. Back when the 64-bit version was released almost everyone here on the forum, including myself, reported massive improvements in performance. The interface is pretty much the only thing left that truly needs to be redone, on OS X that is.

Just take a look at all the OS X Mountain Lion screen shots on apple.com/osx. The interface elements there aren't an exact match with the real deal either: The Menu Bar is almost always opaque and slightly brighter, window control buttons look "glassier", subtile differences in icons and colors in general stand out more.
