I want to draw an NSWindow that looks similar to this:
http://vibealicious.com/site/apps/notify/screenshots/mainUIFull.png
In that it has a typical NSWindow appearance with the bottom bar and
such, but instead of a title bar at the top, I want to draw a little
arrow.
Is there a simple way to do this? Do I have to draw the entire
window by hand (bottom bar and all) ? Or can I slightly modify the
existing NSWindow layout to just draw that arrow at the top? Thanks
Before attempting this, please read the HIG (Human Interface Guidelines)
It is best to keep apps consistent with the mac user experience
wherever possible.
What u see in the picture shouldve been a menu by UI/UX conventions.
That said, what you want to do is a bit involved and you would do well
to google a few open source projects.
A true window on os x has a titlebar which conveys very conventional
user infomation and functionality.
It is rare that a highly unusual UI will be more than gimmicky and
truly functional + well purposed.
