Then make the bookmarks bar in gray (a little bit darker than now) without stripes to match better the title/toolbar area. Unified title/toolbar looks very cool in Camino as can be seen by the attached screenshot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
it does look cool. is this easy to do on tiger and have it still work fine on jag/panther? we should investigate this at least, i'm not saying we're doing this for sure.

This is just a button in Interface Builder. Works fine still in Panther for me (there with the old toolbar look of course). I can't test Jaguar.
This was WONTFIXed as bug 287141 last month. To me the new style looks too heavy and awkward, but I'm not a UI designer :-)
I admit, looking at it now, it doesn't look bad. However, the bookmark toolbar looks... weird now. I'm sure the tab and status bar would also look off. If we're going to do this, we need to update them as well, otherwise it won't look good at all. If we can't change the rest without breaking 10.2 and/or 10.3, I'd suggest (again) WONTFIX and we re-evaluate this when 10.6 comes out and we've dropped 10.3 support. :)
I have been running the unified toolbar pref for a day or two now and I think it looks awesome in Camino, even considering the fact that the tab bar and bookmarks bar have another look. The main good thing about it is that it unclutters the top of the window, one of the things that I really like about the safari "toolbar metal" implementation. This is really something to consider for our Tiger users. I'm already thinking of perhaps making a special tab theme to fit better with the unified toolbar.
Codewise, it seems like you just need to do something like: if ([toolbar respondsToSelector:@selector(setShowsBaselineSeparator:) { [toolbar setShowsBaselineSeparator:NO]; } <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/ NSToolbar.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000681-BCIIDCAH> This may be a better for compatibility than using IB, but I'm not really sure. I don't even have Tiger yet. :-(
