Hi Guys,

I'm developing my database solution and trying out lots of code samples which Im hopefully going to implement in the final version of my app. One of the things I want to do, is make my app look as native as possible for the Mac (nice grey gradient with a search bar on the right in a rounded field). Is there a tutorial or some graphics I can use to achieve this. I'm guessing it might be the skinning approach I need to be looking at?

Thanks

I do not usually like to toot my own horn, but take a look here for the toolbar you are asking about (sorry, no rounded search field yet)..

One of the biggest things that I do to help make an app look a little more Mac OS X native is to set the textSize of the mainStack to 13 (the textFont will default to the system font).. Just this simple step really seems to help a bunch.. Use textSize 11 for smaller text as required by the Mac OS X HIG.

Thanks,

That looks interesting, I've bookmarked your thread
