If anyone does want to imitate it, they can always link to the images
contained in the ProKit framework at runtime. No, I don't me copy them
into your app, but just read them when needed. However, this approach
would break if Apple renamed any of the images or deleted them
entirely. So, you definitely would want some backup images.

So at this point, has anyone developed a public framework project to
try and solve this constant need for this copy cat ui?
It sure is neat and would be nice to have.

Reading to fast at the end of a day, my eyes saw that as "Pork Kit"
and wondered if there was an inside joke I'd missed.
I can't tell if this is meant to be funny/harsh or it's just
missing
the mark by a wide margin. :-)
Missing the mark. Let the rotten tomatoes fly! :)
And, before diving in on such an adventure, here are some things to
ponder that may increase your development time:
- Making IB palettes for your custom UI will save you tons of time
in the long run. But, development of the palettes can be quite
tricky.
- Remember to make your custom UI resolution-independent savvy.
- If accessibility is important to you, you often need to write a
decent amount of code so that your UI elements do the right thing
(e.g. integrates well with VoiceOver)
What's interesting in the previous commented text is, to a "newbie",
it would seem like the UI is something they would never spend that
much time writing and designing. It amazes me that I can see myself
writing a year's worth of code to drive an interface for a back-end
that hadn't been built--and enjoying it.ß
