- the top edge of the window drop shadow is sharp and slightly offset. presumably this is to keep from drawing over the menu bar at the top. which means either they don't have a good window hint for this or it's just too hard to check... - the dock has a seam between the app bar and the minimized windows bar. the seam jitters a bit when doing the zoom animation, as though the two quads are being drawn separately. - expose' is not vsynced. you can see tears while the windows resize. window movement and normal window resize appears to be vsynced though. - the window highlight drawn by expose' when targetting a window has sharp corners even though the windows themselves usually don't. - slow expose' (hold shift) has some visual jitter at the end of the animation as the windows settle into their final location. - window drag may not be double buffered. Terminal.app flickers pretty bad when doing very small moves. - transparent terminals have ghost text. - window resize is laggy. yes, really. particularly bad on brushed-metal windows. not quite as bad as X + xcompmgr but still nasty. - clicking on the chiclet button in the top right of Finder windows switches between NeXT-style and brushed-metal to OS9 style and plain. the window gravity used for this is totally messed up, apparently it's north gravity relative to the navigation pane (as opposed to the toolbar pane on the left in the NeXT style). since brushed metal has borders this moves the chiclet, so, if you click the rightmost edge of the chiclet to switch to OS9 style the chiclet moves out from under the cursor. northeast gravity on the reparent would fix this since the chiclet's offset from the top and right edges is constant in both window styles. - related, the chiclet's usage in Finder is inconsistent with the rest of the system. most apps use it to expose or hide a toolbar at the top of the window. Finder has this functionality, but you have to command-click on the chiclet to get it, which _rotates_ among six separate toolbar styles (widgets and text, widgets only, text only, with two different font sizes for each choice - yes, including widgets only, which yes does visibly change!).
