I just finished doing this for a project I am working on. Since you
don't need a header on your table I would suggest just using a two-
column table with an image cell and a text cell. For the gradient
selection tableView you will need subclasses of NSTableView and
NSTextFieldCell (otherwise the text will not change white when you
select the row). I assembled this mostly from stuff on cocoadev.com
with a couple of things from scottlandsoftware.com. It should get you
started. You can find the gradient image in /System/Library/
PreferencePanes/Accounts.prefPane/

I'm sure this has been asked before, however in my search for an
answer, I have come across many conflicting solutions and would
like to know what is generally considered best practice as of the
current moment. So:
What is the best way to create a source list in my application?
I wish to create something similar to the source list in Address
Book. Whilst it is not essential that I have the blue "gradient"
effect, it would be nice. I also definitely need to have icons by
each item in the list. Oh, and I don't need a "header" sort of
thing like iTunes has.
So, what is considered the best way of doing this?
Mike.
