I've fully implemented growl, but how can you implement growl so that you can disable and enable growl by unchecking/checking a checkbox because too many small windows appearing might get a little annoying.

Use NSUserDefaults to store a boolean preference. Check that pref before putting up a Growl notification. Have a preference panel with a checkbox that's bound to that setting in the user defaults controller.


The stopwatch application launches from January 1st, 2001, because I implemented
-timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate, because -timeIntervalSinceDate, and -timeIntervalSinceNow, wouldn't work. I don't know how to change the application so that it WILL work with those two. Basically, how do I change my code so that when I start the timer, it'll start from 0, and then go up?

If you want to know how many seconds have elapsed since it started, then call [NSDate date] when you start, store that value in an instance variable like _date, and then call - [_date timeIntervalSinceNow]. (The "-" is needed otherwise you get a negative number.)


For some reason, when I quit the application, and then click on the icon on the dock, it won't open another window. How do you fix this?

Did you _quit_ the app, or did you just close its window? Closing the window won't quit the app unless you implement the right application delegate method (something like terminatesWhenLastWindowClosed), or alternately call [NSApp terminate] when notified that the window's been closed.
