There isn't any skinning method readily available. I've been working on
a framework to do this given any background picture. However, using the
framework bypasses the code that Apple uses for hardware accelerated
window dragging. Hopefully I'll have this licked soon. I've been
corresponding with another developer who seems to have conquered this
particular barrier.
Its actually more complicated than you might think. Drawing custom
bezels for table views and other interface elements is difficult to do
in a manner suitably generizable for most apps. In some instances,
leaving control size unchanged and adding containing bezels will work
fine. In other cases, this ruins the layout aesthetics completely.

Hello, everybody.
I remember seeing once among the Cocoa examples an app that changes the
appearance of an NSWindow, it "skins" it, in essence like iTunes or
iPhoto.
How is that accomplished? I can't find the example app anymore. Can
anybody give me reference to a HOWTO or any documentation?
