Re: 'Skins' using Interface Builder

I am not sure what you mean by "skins" in this context, and I have never
used Audion, but if you're talking about the sort of thing that some apps
like MacAmp have, IB is not really targeted at this sort of thing.

On the other hand, there's lots of non-destructive rearranging of controls
and such that you could do to an app with IB...

Adding objects to IB is accomplished by writing new "palettes". The doc is
slight to non-existent, but if you are relatively experienced with Cocoa,
the headers in the InterfaceBuilder.framework can be instructive.

You can also check out my MOKit project which has a sample palette for IB.
The palette adds a new NSFormatter, so it is a little bit odd (mostly you'll
want to be adding new NSViews) but it shows the basics.

As for Doc, check out Apple's tech doc web site and also check out
www.stepwise.com for pointers to other stuff.
