I don't know, but this aggravates the heck out of me. Somebody at Apple prefers eye candy to productivity. LOL! Ya think! I've been a Mac guy for around a decade and wouldn't change to a PC for anything but... Apple continues over the years to make the stupid reversal of the Design 101 rule that Form-Follows-Function and often ends up with Function-Follows-Form because someone (Stevie?) thinks it's prettier. Hello Steve? Enough already with pretty when it slows us designer/artists down. And how-'bout those 'nifty' retro OS 7 folder icons. Retro's in... long live retro! Pewey!
