Hello,
I figured this might be helpful. I've been using IB and Acqua is some interesting ways to get a more 'pro' look out of
our applications. You can see a screenshot of what it looks like here:

I think the techniques will become obvious(or uninteresting :D ) to any cocoa/IB programmer, but if you have any
questions feel free to email me. The software is also a free download from our main site.
Cheers,
Juan
