Is there an easy way to custumize the Look And Feel (skin) with Cocoa Appkit?

The OS X operating system does not easily support skin usage of any sort. There are hacks available but those aren't code hacks, they are resource hacks.

Actually implementing a skinnable OS X application is doable however. Look at the code for what used to be MacOSXAmp, I think it is now called xAudic). It is a WinAMP/MacAMP clone for OS X and is fully skinnable.

The code is available on http://www.xaudic.net/.

It's probably the only skinnable Cocoa application that I have seen.

(Like for instance the lookandfeel implementation in swing)
Do I have to make a custom IB palette or something like that and load a custom nib?
