How to Design a Mockup of Apple macOS Sierra GUI
Since that first Macintosh, Apple has always developed and used their own hardware specific operating system. The fundamental style and layout of the Mac OS X user interface have remained largely in place since the earliest versions, but there have been obvious aesthetic enhancements, and elements of icon redesign to match branding across devices. To design an effective user interface, graphic designers will create visual GUI prototypes, that focus on maximizing the user experience. Uses Interface prototyping is much convenient when you can work through a diagram similar to the OS X design. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to develop Apple OS X User Interface (UI) prototypes using the special templates and vector libraries of the specific user interface elements. ConceptDraw Mac OS X UI solution offers libraries containing the distinct Mac app icons, menu bar graphics, glyph elements and other Mac OS X features — everything necessary to create a high standard, professional UI graphic design.Mac OS GUI Software

The example "OS X 10.10 Yosemite - Finder window" shows usage of user interface (UI) design elements: window frame, toolbar, menu, app icons, wallpapers.
"The Finder is the default file manager and graphical user interface shell used on all Macintosh operating systems. Described in its "About" window as "The Macintosh Desktop Experience", it is responsible for the launching of other applications, and for the overall user management of files, disks, and network volumes. It was introduced with the first Macintosh computer, and also exists as part of GS/ OS on the Apple IIGS. It was totally rewritten with the release of Mac OS X in 2001. In a tradition dating back to the classic Mac OS of the 1980s and 1990s, the Finder icon is the smiling screen of a computer, known as the Happy Mac logo." [Finder (software). Wikipedia]

"A window provides a frame for viewing and interacting with content in an app. ...
A window consists of window-frame areas and a window body. The window-frame areas are the title bar and toolbar, which are typically combined. ... The window body can extend from the top edge of the window (that is, underneath the combined title bar/ toolbar area) to the bottom edge of the window.
The window body represents the main content area of the window. ...
OS X defines appearances that can affect the look of controls and views in particular contexts, such as a window’s sidebar. ...
OS X specifies a set of control/ style combinations that are designed to look good on the toolbar, whether the toolbar is translucent or opaque. ...
Every document window, app window, and panel has, at a minimum:
- A title bar (or a combined title bar and toolbar), so that users can move the window.
- A close button, so that users have a consistent way to dismiss the window.
A standard document window may also have the following additional elements that an app window or panel might not have:
- Transient horizontal or vertical scroll bars, or both (if not all the window’s contents are visible).
- Minimize and fullscreen buttons (note that the fullscreen button changes to a zoom button if the window doesn’t support fullscreen mode or when users hold down the Option key).
- A proxy icon and a versions menu (after the user has given a document a name and save location for the first time).
- The title of the document (that functions as the title of the window).
- Transient resize controls." [https:/ / developer.apple.com/ library/ mac/ documentation/ UserExperience/ Conceptual/ OSXHIGuidelines/ WindowAppearanceBehavior.html#/ / apple_ ref/ doc/ uid/ 20000957-CH33-SW1]

"Designing the visual composition and temporal behavior of GUI is an important part of software application programming in the area of human-computer interaction. Its goal is to enhance the efficiency and ease of use for the underlying logical design of a stored program, a design discipline known as usability. Methods of user-centered design are used to ensure that the visual language introduced in the design is well tailored to the tasks.
The visible graphical interface features of an application are sometimes referred to as "chrome" or "Gui" (Goo-ee). Typically, the user interacts with information by manipulating visual widgets that allow for interactions appropriate to the kind of data they hold. The widgets of a well-designed interface are selected to support the actions necessary to achieve the goals of the user. A model-view-controller allows for a flexible structure in which the interface is independent from and indirectly linked to application functionality, so the GUI can be easily customized. This allows the user to select or design a different skin at will, and eases the designer's work to change the interface as the user needs evolve. Good user interface design relates to the user, not the system architecture.
Large widgets, such as windows, usually provide a frame or container for the main presentation content such as a web page, email message or drawing. Smaller ones usually act as a user-input tool." [Graphical user interface. Wikipedia]
