Does anyone have some experience subclassing NSTabView in order to have a custom look for the tab view and the tabs themselves ?

Before even considering doing something like this, you should realise that Apple have expended a great deal of effort making sure that their user interface is both attractive and consistent. Granted, the tabs aren't really very pretty, but even so, they are the standard. If you make them look like something else, there is a fair chance that they will look out of place (making your app. look ugly), or confuse users.

Go and tell my client who paid thousands of dollars paying deisgners to build a pretty ugly GUI ;o)
