Thanks, Guy. I think that looks pretty darned good! I haven't tested
the mechanics of it but I definitely like your approach of using a
datasource for the items.
Do you want to declare some kind of a license on the source, or
should we just consider it an example? I wouldn't want to presume
and take anything that isn't free for the taking. But if you are
willing to make it freely available it would be a good start for me,
I think.
Thanks,
Daniel

Ok, you got me intrigued so I hacked something together. I don't
think the NSMatrix approach is the right one. I think you'll end up
beating on it longer than it'll take to code something new. And
eventually some limitation will bite you.
Here's a screenshot of what I got working: http://

And you can get the code here: http://www.kickingbear.com/Source/
Spotlightesque.zip
It's a bit of a rush job and I wouldn't want anyone taking it as
the pinnacle of design but it works, it's easy to use, and it looks
and feels a lot like the Spotlight menu. It's got one data source
method, one delegate method and/or a target/action setup. It needs
some final tweaks to make it prettier and more configurable but
it's a good start.
Hope that helps,
Guy
