You guys both pose some interesting ideas. Right now this is the sort
of thing I have:
http://nitroy.com/cole/Files/Temp/SubViewsAreHard.png. An inspector
panel basically, and a preference for the defaults. If I could get rid
of the inspector styled panel I would but so far I could not figure
out how to customize each view specifically.
You don't like using an inspector? If you let me know what you don't
like about the inspector it might be easier for me to give some
suggestioons. An alternative (but it's still kind of similar) could be
to use the new "dashboard" UI that Apple is introducing for their apps
- as of now at least in Motion and iPhoto 05:
<http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/edit.html>
It's still an inspector of sorts, but it's brand new, transparent and
kewl in so many ways... ;)
A contextual ("right click") menu could also provide quick access to
the functionality you provide via the inspector. And although you
shouldn't "hide" functionality in contextual menus alone, it could
serve as a shortcut for experienced users that want to avoid having to
bother with the inspector.

Now what's the best way of going about this. After I have created all
the different window configurations, would it be bet to then have them
all in the same nib name the window something different, and load the
proper window.
You should probably not load new windows, but instead just switch view
configurations - like has been discussed already.
Also how fast would this be to change. I would be incredibly happy if
I could get this to change on the fly. Hell if I could somehow work a
cool animation into it to that would be some polish, if ever there was
some, but in all seriousness the ideal situation for this would be the
views to change on the fly. No "Please restart the application for
changes to take affect" stuff, because users of this sort of
application change views all the time.
The change could be instantaneous.
