The Mac Way

The Mac way = Apple Human Interface guidelines (HIG) + well thought out user experience

The Reference : Aqua Human Interface Guidelines

[FIXME]To be continued


Draft as starting point :

Apple has no Exit menu

sometimes little things can make a huge difference

However the Windows freestyle combobox has no equivalent on Mac

windows>dialog: Native FilePicker is important (and on the way?)


Start of the application: what is needed NOW

Look and Feel  : Aqua Controls

Drag and drop

Fonts

Native Filepicker

Native printing

Windows the cursor scrolling behaviour drove me nuts
