GoLive, the control spans the width of the window

- Buttons are always left justfied
- Buttons have the ability to hold an icon and text caption
- Buttons would ideally be able to contain another button. Think
Safari. I'll be using them exactly in the same way, but I want
the "Adobe" appearance.
- If too many buttons are in the control to fit in the view, the
buttons are squished to fit as many as possible. Once it goes over
the absolute max, it would present a menu, exactly like Safari.
I'd just go with a standard NSToolbar. You'll get everything but that
appearance (which doesn't seem particularly nice to me anyway).
A toolbar is not what I'm after, and will not work. This control and a
toolbar are fundamentally different. This control is no different than
a segmented control except in how it presents itself and two extra
features (the menu and the button-in-button thing.) I disagree that it
isn't nice; it's perfectly clear to me what it is and how it works, and
is very aqua-compliant.
