Mac OS X Syrah is a concept by Danny Giebe that brings a flat look to Apple's desktop operating system. It was inspired by the new clean design introduced in the Contacts and Notes apps of OS X Mavericks.
Finder: The new Finder represents the new clean design of OS X Syrah. The colors are based on the flat design of Contacts and Notes in Mavericks. The title bars are translucent and support a more clean and iOS'ish design. All icons are following the new flat design approach.
Messenger (Messages): The new Messenger design is combining the flat Mac OS X and iOS 7 design.
Mail: New clean design with reminder support ● Integration of Reminder app to setup reminders on mails ● Integration of Tags ● Automation End-2-End Encryption ● Rules synchronisation across devices
iPhoto: iPhoto for OS X Syrah will support Dark UI with translucent bars and a new photo grid. ● New support for Instagram ● Better face recognition ● Synchronization of your Photo Library with your iDevices
Notification Center: New iOS 7 based design for the notification center.
Notably, Giebe's concept has partly been realized. A new GitHub project called FinderSyrahUI has brought some of the concept's designs to OS X Finder. Check it out here.
Then tell Apple to make a switch that allows users to switch between glared and flat looks without changing versions of osx and iOS so people won't deal with staying on old looks for an older version. It's not the end of your idea, but this is your chance still.
If Apple would want to have this done, it would have enabled some sort of customizable skin support for OS X... so I don't think so.
Anyway, this is completely possible to be adapted (hmm hmm... copied) from Apple, it looks amazing for a flat skin (which usually look ugly to me).
