July 1996 Revision
This version of Apple Grayscale Appearance for System 7.5 contains an updated appearance for the disabled state of all windows, dialog boxes, and controls. In response to feedback from developers and users regarding the difficulty of distinguishing active windows from inactive windows, we have changed the appearance of all inactive windows and disabled controls. This updated appearance gives users better feedback about inactive windows and dialog boxes. It also provides more affordance in the active windows and enabled controls.
This version of the document also contains the appearance for tab panels (tabs and content panes) which appear in dialog boxes. It shows tabs in small and large sizes.
Late Breaking News
Figure 122, Separators does not show the appearance of disabled separators in the document. However, the linked file does show the appearance and specification for disabled separators.
In the linked files folder there is a file called Text Field focus.TEXT that shows the appearance of a text entry field with keyboard focus. This file is not linked to anything in the document.
Use of the Grayscale Appearance design in non-Apple operating systems and/or third-party applications designed for execution on such systems is strictly prohibited.
