Oh I had thought how he explained it . He was after the way a list of
items are grouped and displayed.
Is there anyway to make a folder like that ? Basicly it looks like it
is just finder view as KIND. But the way system pref shows it, it is
all nice and clean.

While I have some programming experience I am new to OS X development

Interface Builder and different NSViews in an effort to replicate the
way the System Preferences window displays itself. The window
resizes itself as its content changes. In effect it drops up and
down like a sheet as you click along the toolbar but it does not have
modal properties (at least I don't think it does) because you always
have access to the toolbar. I'm sure there is a way to
programmatically draw the new content (Custom view maybe?), set the
new window size and send -setNeedsDisplay, but is there a way to
design each view in Interface Builder?
It isn't a sheet - just a normal window. You can replicate the
multiple views with a tabless, borderless NSTabView. For a basic
example of getting this working, look at UKPrefsPanel, which you can
get from <http://www.zathras.de/programming/cocoa_stuff.php>. Once
you've got the hang of that, you could try studying a more
sophisticated example - complete with window resizing which you can
get from Shiira (a Safari clone), the source code of which is
available at <http://hmdt-web.net/shiira/index-e.html>
Hope this helps. Regards,
