The first is this, I have an NSToolbar item with a grey pill as its

Have your toolbar's delegate invoke [aToolbarItem
setImage:greenPillImage] from validateToolbarItem:. In my opinion
though, dynamically changing a toolbar item's image dilutes its meaning
and should be avoided.
Toolbar items need to have active/inactive status indication just like menu
and dialog items.
I remember the Aqua Interface Guidelines stressed
that toolbar labels should be static,
You mean like the toolbar in Project Builder, which is constantly changing
length and format as both the icons _and_ their legends change with the
program state?
Such a wonderful example for developers.
Hitting the right tool-icon when PB is not idle is like one of those
carnival duck-shoot games. No wonder there is so much terrible UI afoot in
Cocoa apps with examples like this in front of us all day.
