Metal Appearance on the Mac

I got the Metal appearance on the Mac to work. If anyone wants to 
enable it, the patch is a 1-liner in the attached diff file. I also 
attached a screenshot if anyone is curious. If you guys like the 
appearance better, maybe it could be put in the official build. With 
respect to single window Mac applications (i.e. iTunes, Address Book, 
etc), they are usually Metal, so giving BitPim a new coat of "paint" 
would make it match the other applications.

By the way, you can see that for some reason, the Mac version likes to 
mangle my toolbar buttons.
