Another easy way to identify a Cocoa app
Authored by: JKT on May 20, '02 08:10:43AM

Through the scroll bars:

Click a scrollbar arrow and hold the click - the scrollbar will start scrolling in the direction of the arrow. Now whilst still holding the click, move the pointer over the other scrollbar arrow... if the app is Cocoa, the focus will switch to the second arrow and scrolling will change to the opposite direction; if it is Carbon, the scrolling will simply stop as soon as you move the pointer away from the original arrow.

(obviously, this is easiest to check if the arrows are together at one or both ends)
