To cover up myself, I will "steal" those widgets' images from the
system, using the method suggested and save them in my project.
Thanks for your remarks guys,

I would suggest either tracking down a

rolling your own. Fewer chances for surprises that way.
If you want the widgets that are in the upper-left corner of the
screen, then this is precisely what you should not do.
+standardWindowButton:forStyleMask: is THE way to get the standard
window controls. Mimicking them yourself is wrong.
The OP's request was for a way to get ahold of the red, yellow and
green dots used (currently) as window widgets so that he could use
them as status images:
"I want to use the same widgets as the OS uses for its windows (red,
yellow and green dots) for a status bar in my application, like IB
does to indicate sync status with XCode. This is to reflect the
connection status (red == not connected, green connected etc.) in
mine."
Thus I feel that my comment was correct: He shouldn't rely on the
current look of those widgets when he's using them in a context
other than for which they were intended.
