    Yes. I don't use a Mac much but the following are really obvious. 
The column header icons don't fit within the header. The scroll bar is 
squished up too thin. The icons are from Windows.

    Yes. The archetype here is Windows XP Explorer. Icons too large. 
Icons jaggy due to lack of alpha compositing. Icon text too long but no 
label for entry field. Weird discontinuity between toolbar and list. 
List header too tall. List has alternating background. Status bar not 
indented. No resize indicator in status bar. Line between columns. 
Vertical scroll bar ends at bottom of horizontal scroll bar rather than 
top. Scroll bars use dithered background rather than graduated smooth 
background.

    Totally native. If you are still using a 10 year old desktop 
environment.
