Mac OS X Mail Icon Inconsistencies?

Posted by on Apr 12, 2007 in Design, Fun | 2 comments

There is more important stuff in the world but I can’t help noticing that my Mail application uses different status icons at different times. And I don’t understand why.

Check it out:

Version 1: thin border for status bar:
Mail Icons
Version 2: thick border for status bar
Mail Icons

Noticed that too?

    Lately I’ve been seeing similar stuff in MacOSX, not in Mail.app but inside of firefox where some text tends to be thicker than other text on the same page. Once I select the text it reverts back to the original thickness of the font. The Mail icon inconsistency looks very much like what I’ve seen in firefox..

    But Boris, is this keeping you awake at night? :)
