You're the second person who's scorned the idea of adding things to an alert. In fact, NSAlert is explicitly designed to allow adding controls via an accessory subview:

	http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Dialog/Articles/CustomAlertDialogs.html

One of the benefits of using a customized alert is that you don't have to worry about resizing the window based on the size of the message and informative text.

OTOH, looking at the OP's links to screenshots, two things are obvious:

1. This particular task isn't one that NSAlert is suitable for. It's not actually an alert.

2. There are no new frontiers in Cyrillic pornography. ;)
