right ?
Mac users will have to do with it :-(

Developing for business ? Really ? Why won't you realize a real *.exe ?

You are correct - it can't be done. Their is no way for a browser to
access those system settings. You can get things like screen size and
so forth, but that is all.

in address bar :

javascript:w=window.open("");for(i in
navigator)w.document.write("<li>"+i+" = "+eval('navigator.'+i));

I obtain with my Mac :
Firefox :
appVersion = 5.0 (Macintosh; fr)
platform = MacIntel
oscpu = Intel Mac OS X
Safari :
appVersion = 5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr) ...etc
platform = MacIntel

I obtain with my Win XP and IE6 :
appMinorVersion = ;SP2;
cpuClass = x86
platform = Win32
opsProfile =
userProfile =
systemLanguage = fr
userLanguage = fr

Wouldn't all that be enough to detect the OS ?

Detecting the OS is easy (both on client and server side; not really
reliable). Anyway, the OP wants to know the UI design settings of the
OS. And that's impossible.

CSS 2.x defines system color names besides explicit colors:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#system-colors

It is marked as deprecated for CSS 3.x - but anyone ever implemented
it, it should be still here. I believe it worked for me for IE6 but I
never tested it intensively. You may try that.
