Will the Logos 4 Mac version be identical in appearance than Logos 4 Windows?
If not, what will be the differences? Thanks for your response, I am totally "green" on this.

Welcome to forums.
Logos 4 Mac already has the appearance of an app for Mac with menu bar, dropdowns, etc. whereas Logos 4 Windows has the appearance of a typical Windows program.
Many items will be similar in appearance but the Mac app has a crisper, cleaner-looking UI. [H]
When complete Logos 4 Mac will be feature-equivalent to Logos 4 Windows.
The thing that will really make the difference will be the OS behind the program. So no comparison.
Every blessing

Not identical, but incredibly similar
As Alan mentions, we differ in that we use the menu bar on the Mac for things like the File, Guides, Tools, Layouts and Help menus. On Windows, those are all in the toolbar.
Most other differences are largely cosmetic things like button style, color palette, etc.
If not, what will be the differences?
Functionally, the differences are becoming less and less as the Mac version is rapidly catching up with the Windows counterpart. I have used L4 Windows extensively and only started using L4 Mac since it went beta and I can already say that I prefer L4 Mac even though there is work left to do on it.

Forum http://community.logos.com/forums/t/20972.aspx shows login screen coming in next Mac Beta, adding couple items already available on Windows.

I know I've seen screenshots of the nearly complete Mac product, so maybe Alan you could post one here. It does look very nice. Here's the Windows one, with my Basic layout (click to enlarge). It looks just as nice...in its own way (ahem). Mac will look slightly different because I'm running 4.1 beta which has the ability to customize the shortcut bar icons, and the Mac version doesn't yet. But if you learn Logos 4 on one platform it should be pretty seamless to switch back and forth between them, as they are making sure the features look and feel the same on both platforms.
Rosie's basic layout on Logos 4 Mac:

I think sometimes it is good to stop, think and say how much this forum is a blessing to everyone. So I would like to extend my deep appreciation to people like Alan, Cameron, Donovan, Rosie and "Keep Smiling for Jesus" who has taken the time to answer my question regarding Logos 4 for Mac vs Logos for Windows. Thank you again everyone and God richly bless you!
