I'm trying to create a simple clone of the tab view that's used by
Terminal and Safari in Leopard.
You say on your page that PSMTabBarControl doesn't have this style,
but it does. It's the exact same tabs. Only the window background has
changed, and that change is automatically picked up by
PSMTabBarControl. Your code may be lighter than PSMTabBarControl, but
you should take another look at it, because it does have the same
appearance.
Seth thanks for your response.
I know about the meta style in PSMTabBarControl. And yes it's very
close, but still not exactly the same look as Safari's tabs. In a dark
room, when you are sleepy, they tend to look pretty different to my
eyes (the etched lines), in the light of the day not so different. In
any case the smart thing would certainly be for me to just modify
PSMTabBarControls metal style as I want and I'd be done with it.
Except I keep running into problems when I try that. For example this
morning I decided, duhh, don't reinvent the wheel... then added
PSMTabBarControl to my project (turned on GC for PSMTabBarControl)
because my project is GC... and all of the sudden lots started going
wrong. Understandable since PSMTabBarControl isn't designed to support
GC, but that brings me back to square one of sorts... dealing with a
fairly large codebase, most supporting features that I don't need...
and me trying to understand it enough to make low level memory
management changes.
Anyway at this point I'm mostly just complaining about my situation :)
I'm stuck in the middle of the build or reuse decision, and keep
flipping back and forth. I hope I didn't come across as suggesting
that PSMTabBarControl isn't a nice framework, I think it's great and
have used it in my products. But it's just more then I really need,
and my 80% solution seems so close to what I exactly want... except of
course for the always pesky remaining 20%!
