I was wondering if someone could tell me if there would be a way for me to develop Office 2003 and XP style menus for my Cocoa Application. If you don't understand what I mean let me explain:

On my windows computer when I want to save an Microsoft Word 2003 document there are icons next to the menus, icons that easily tell users what action will be performed. The save menu item has a little diskette by it.

What a diskette tells me is "a piece of obsolete storage technology". The connection with "save" is tenuous at best, and gets weaker as time passes. Almost no Mac OS X users save anything to 3.5" floppies anymore (and usually don't have the drive in the first place).


Besides, the Save command in Mac applications has an universal keyboard equivalent (command-S) which is very well known by users and is faster than a toolbar button could ever be.
