Apple fails to keep it consistent – STILL

Inconsistent text titles and unified metal lookOkay Apple, I’ve had some gripes with you in terms of user interfaces. Let’s be honest, many people have. I know you’ve tried hard. In fact, Mac OS X Leopard is the closest to perfection in terms of GUI harmony you’ve ever put out. However, for a company who seems to pay attention to the smallest details in their products, you’ve left out a few (minor) problems.

Today’s issue has to do with iTunes. With iTunes 7, a brand new user interface was introduced. While this was slightly controversial, it had to be done. It was truly our first introduction to what Leopard would be looking like. So you think that it would have the exact same UI as Leopard, right?

Right?

Well, fundamentally it carries a similar look. But as shown in the image above, you can clearly see that it isn’t perfect. The gradient of the background looks a little different, and the text-engraving look Leopard is famous for bringing to the table isn’t there at all.

So, Apple, in your next version of iTunes, please correct this minor issue for me. Please?

I’ll put a cherry on top and everything!
