I don't mean 3D widgets in particular. I don't even like the
word widget. If they'd called it a gizmo it might have
evolved differently....
I am not sure what I mean :-) Guess some sort of 3D UI. A
way to deal with 3d objects. Things like Cocoa's (x)(-)(+)
3d buttons are pretty silly and you don't lose anything by
flattening them. Eyecandy is not what I mean. To me design
is more about function, not just making things non-ugly.
