The colored status gem indicates Xcode project syncing status.
Interface Builder syncs with Xcode to obtain information about the
classes in your project. The gem pulses green while a sync is in
progress, and turns yellow if it encounters a problem, such as the
inability to parse one of the headers in your project.
A tooltip with details about the problem should appear if you hover
your mouse pointer over the project name.

When I open any of the nib files in my Xcode project, IB opens the
nib file successfully and the Xcode project status in the lower

green dot. Within a few seconds, the green dot always turns yellow.
I'm guessing that this is meant to warn me or indicate in some way
that IB is not entirely happy with the state of the nib file,
although I have not encountered any negative effects that I have
noticed (can modify, save, build and run using these nib files with
no apparent problems). Searching the IB User Guide, exploring the
IB interface a bit and performing several Google queries has failed
to shed any light on how to determine the meaning or specific cause
of this yellow status. Any pointers or tips?
Xcode and IB 3.1.2, Intel Mac (Mac Pro), 10.5.6. The project and
nib files originated back in earlier versions of Xcode and IB (back
to the ProjectBuilder days) and have been maintained/migrated
through several versions of Xcode (1.x, 2.x, and now 3.x).
Thanks for the help. Turns out that I had two classes in my project
with the same name (different superclasses), each used in a separate
application target, which caused the confusion for IB. Renaming one of
the classes clears up the problem.
Did I miss where this IB feature (the colored status gem, the meaning
of its various states, and using the tooltip to obtain more detailed
info) is documented (entirely possible)?
