However, I am sure I remember past incarnations of Mail.app (and other
applications) opening a drawer when that button was clicked.

Mail.app has always had a mailboxes toolbar item that opened and closed the drawer. Now it hides and displays the pane on the right. It wasn't green though. It was a blue mailbox with a red flag.


Well, for me it glows green when I hover over it. So perhaps I am using
some non-standard theme. Or perhaps my screen needs its colours adjusted.
Or my rose coloured glasses need cleaning.

Maybe you should lay off the psychedelic drugs? It's never been green and has always been for the toolbar. Especially in Apple's apps.


There did use to be a purple button there in the betas but that was removed:

Anyway, there was already a thread about this. You have to do some subclassing of NSWindow and override some private methods:

Note this quote:

Yes, please don't use the standard toolbar widget to hide/show a drawer.
Would you override the behavior of the minimize widget to have it, say, quit
your app instead of minimizing the window?
