Actually I think it's mainly due to differences in font rendering across platforms. The site is fine in OS X, but the same font is rendered lighter in Windows, and with a lightly stroked sans font, that makes a big difference in legibility.

The article is from the blog of a Mac only program and it's content is targeted at iOS developers. Windows users aren't remotely in the target market for the article.

You should only show a dialog before an action that cannot be undone. So, the "not Cancel" button in a dialog should always be destructive, and "Cancel" should always be the safe choice.
Also, Red is the universal color for danger. That's why the action button is red.

When I add to the stencil palette in OmniGraffle 4, it ends up super tiny http://imgb.mp/jk2.jpg
Maybe time to reconsider if I use OmniGraffle often enough to pay $50 to upgrade to 6... I don't really need any new features, just to fix all the bugs that have cropped up.

OmniGraffle didn't crash on me until I upgraded to 6, take that for what it's worth.
It's also the first piece of software that makes me feel like a curmudgeon. I don't know how less 'usable' it all feels. Stencils are buried and I stared at the screen for 10 minutes before I was able to do anything.

Um, I might just be stupid I guess. I saw "if you're not using Omnigraffle 6" and took that to mean "If you're not using omnigraffle at all", so then I expected it to be a folder of assets. So if I open the zip file, there's a single folder with 4 images and a plist. I assume that on a mac the .gstencil would open in Omnigraffle, whereas in windows it just opens as a folder.
Also, Red is the universal color for danger. That's why the action button is red.

It's quite better in my opinion.
But it looks really nice overall.
Glad you like it!
Edit: Scratch that. All I see is 4 images in both zip files... I'm confused.
Can you give a little more detail on what's happening?
Anyhow, just operator error I'm sure.
Sorry for the confusion.
You can download a trial of omnigraffle 6 and then export the stencil as an .svg
No need to attribute but I won't complain if you give credit back to NJI Media. Also, Chris at Pixeden did all the line icon work.
