I've just spent some time looking at the referenced document and I think I found the relevant information in the Controls -> View Controls -> Split Views section. Yes, the Apple HIG [1] state that an horizontal splitter cannot have "grippies" because the pointer should be the same all over the splitter bar, but I didn't find anything suggesting that an horizontal splitter cannot be double clicked to automatically move it to the bottom of the window. In the same way, a splitter bar at the bottom of the window could be double clicked to restore it to its last position. In fact, this is the precise behavior of the horizontal splitter bar that delimits the thread pane and message pane in Apple Mail.app 3.6 (936), that is the last Mail.app version in Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. So, IMHO, the old behavior can be restored without violating the Apple HIG. If you and/or Philip Chee don't agree, please point us to the specific section of the specs that confirms your thesis. P.S. By the way, are you sure that the new theme's splitters are "either zero-width (1 pixel wide) or “thick” (9 pixels wide)"? If not, *this* violates the Apple HIG. P.P.S. I've just noticed that the vertical splitter between the addresses and attachments areas in the message composition window is undoubtedly too wide to conform to the specs.
