The UI has gotten so totally schizo! It's got the Metal background and buttons, Aqua buttons in the dialog box, and a Platinum-style list header in the main window. In this: http://www.it-enquirer.com/smartfolder.html shot, you can see Finder with the Metal background and buttons, Platinum buttons in the "Smart Folder" area, and even a combobox with a Platinum drop-down button, but an Aqua scrollbar slider! In the preferences shots, you see the Platinum background with Aqua buttons. And hmm, is that a hint of Pinstripe in the Platinum background? Why, yes it is! (zoom in and see).
Man, for all the abuse Linux get's about UI consistency, at least we don't have three different UI styles in the same program, or two different styles in the *same widget*.
