Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines / Part 2 - The Interface Elements
Chapter 9 - Color / Color Application Guidelines


Design for the Macintosh

When your application uses standard elements or you design custom elements, these elements need to fit into the Macintosh interface framework. This means you should follow the Macintosh design guidelines and not imitate other vendors' designs. The Macintosh has a light source at the upper-left corner of the screen and a two-dimensional appearance. Your designs must be compatible with black-and-white designs, since that is
the basis for the Macintosh interface and many users have only black-and-white displays.
