When I get home from work I will give you some help with where those parts are definded.

I have a Mac but no eye for UI. The Mac style toolbar changes recently were accidental. I saw the Qt setting and investigated why it wasn't used. I never even realized the toolbar was wrong. With that said how do you want to change the tag browser?

Also, the entire GUI uses the cross platform tool kit Qt. Mac specific changes are okay as long as they don't change or reduce functionality. Keep that in mind. However, that doesn't mean the UI can't me more Mac friendly.

If you're really serious about making the GUI better on Mac you will need to learn Python. It's an easy language to get the hang of. Kovid reviews all changes sent to him and will provide feedback. I'm also willing to help and answer questions.
