Are these type of tabs available anywhere as a custom class? I would really like to use them in a program I'm destined to write. The Segmented view is close to what I need, but not perfect. I really need a bar that spans the entire window and fills with squared buttons.

The graphics you demonstrate in your screen shot were taken from Adobe products. Adobe uses a custom application framework that is shared between all of their applications. The classes in those frameworks are not available outside of Adobe.

What features of the UI shown do you find particularly useful. Perhaps you might get suggestions of ways to duplicate the functionality using standard system controls. One that you might start with is the NSSegmentedControl which provides similar looking controls. Another option might be to subclass NSSegmenetedCell to provide the drawing behavior you are looking for but rely on the segmented control for much of the functionality.
