@Matthew Hah, very well. Perhaps make an option for an alternate background? Even if you didn't, theoretically we could always change the image within the apps resources, right?
Also, I think it'd be cool if the selected navigation glyph looked as if it were glowing (the wrench and pencil). In my opinion it should pop out more and have more contrast with the background. Something like this, or maybe even this. :)
@Matthew I like the direction its going, but i still feel it needs work. I also feel that the blue of the glyph should be saturated more.
Also, being the minimalist I am, I don't see much purpose for the wooden border around the whole window other than for aesthetic reasons, a feel that it doesn't add much functionality to the app. Here's a quick mockup I did of the app without the wooden "frame" and feel it much better blends in with the interface of OS X. What do you think?

Not too big of a fan of the wooden texture, but everything else is amazing.

I want to use this app so badly you don't even know it. Really gorgeous.
Make it happen!

Everything is positioned perfectly. The color scheme is awesome! Not sure about the blue of the 'code' icon, though ;)

@Ryan Hmm, it's an interesting idea. But, the whole point of my design is to be different than other coding apps :)
