Unified title and tool bars in OS X

Post by whelkybaby » Thu Nov 22, 2007 3:13 pm

Hello,

To give my applications a more pro feel, I would like to combine the titlebar and toolbar into one area, as per most other OS X applications.

I thought that the easiest way to do this might be for a future version of Rev to have a window style that doesn't have the black line drawn at the bottom of the titlebar.

The developer would then be able to seamlessly join the toolbar area to the top of the window (possibly checking for the version of OS X and showing the right graphic behind the buttons).

Happy to provide examples etc. if needs be.

Thanks,


Steve

Hello,

Sorry to bang on about this a bit, but what is the likelihood of Rev getting a unified title bar? Apple have recently updated their HIG and it reminded me of my request!

Or... does anybody have a workaround to display the window correctly and enable it to resize? I'd had a go with drawing the window in a shape (lovely feature), but cannot get it to resize.

It'd make my year if I could build fully Apple HIG compliant interfaces! :D

Cheers,


Steve
