The plan at that time was to introduce a new system then named ''[[Rhapsody (operating system)|Rhapsody]]'', which would consist of a version of OPENSTEP modified with a more Mac-like [[look and feel]], the ''[[Cocoa (API)|Yellow Box]]'', along with a ''[[Classic (Mac OS X)|Blue Box]]'' that allowed extant Mac applications to run under OS emulation. The show focused mainly on the work in progress, including a short history of development efforts since the two development teams had been merged on February 4. Several new additions to the system were also demonstrated, including tabbed and outline views, and a new object-based graphics layer (NSBezier).{{Citation needed|date=January 2020|reason=NSBezierPath is a class for drawing beziers; NSBezier does not seem to exist, and isn't a "graphics layer"}}
