Does anyone know a way to access the folder icons the Finder uses for the side bar icons? Like the application icon becomes the pencil and ruler.

IIRC if you want the actual sidebar contents, there's a com.apple.sidebarlists.plist with the sidebar items as AliasRecords wrapped in NSData. That .plist file also contains the icons as some sort of NSData.

Also, is there a way to access the Folder icons used by the Finder in the normal view? Like say, when you rename a folder to "Public", it changes its icon to the folder with the yellow badge on.

NSWorkspace's iconForFile: should give you the proper image. If it doesn't, you can always use Carbon's Icon Services (after filing a bug against NSWorkspace). I think I have code flying around here somewhere that wraps Icon Services as a nice little Cocoa class. Holler if NSWorkspace doesn't do the job. -- Cheers, M.
