Hi! With all due respect, I think that you might run into a potential
trouble area -- or at least a gray area -- in doing that, as those
standard window button images are likely copyrighted by Apple. The
ethical thing to do would be to only use images to which you can
secure the rights.
Best,
Andrew

To cover up myself, I will "steal" those widgets' images from the

Thanks for your remarks guys,

I would suggest either tracking down a
set of images you like and then include them in your app's
bundle, or
rolling your own. Fewer chances for surprises that way.
If you want the widgets that are in the upper-left corner of the
screen, then this is precisely what you should not do.
+standardWindowButton:forStyleMask: is THE way to get the standard
window controls. Mimicking them yourself is wrong.
The OP's request was for a way to get ahold of the red, yellow and
green dots used (currently) as window widgets so that he could use
them as status images:
"I want to use the same widgets as the OS uses for its windows
(red, yellow and green dots) for a status bar in my application,
like IB does to indicate sync status with XCode. This is to reflect
the connection status (red == not connected, green connected etc.)
in mine."
Thus I feel that my comment was correct: He shouldn't rely on the
current look of those widgets when he's using them in a context
other than for which they were intended.
