Hi folks,
The Apple HIG describes bottombars but gives graphical examples that I can't achieve. They are using mainly iCalc as an example.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-SW6
In iCalc, and iChat and probably many other Apple products the bottom bar and the toolbar has a black indentation line between the bar and the main content view giving a bas relief appearance to the main content. I've got a standard window, textured as per instructions with a Splitview in it (outlineView on left, tableView on right) but I can't get the same appearance. How is this done?
On a related point, why do Apple insist on demanding we implement interface elements that don't appear to be out-of-the-box or aren't adequately described how to be achieved?
