Stylish Windows
NSWindow. Very flexible stuff. It’s used *everywhere*. I mean it, everywhere, look for yourself, hit cmd-shift-4 and then press the spacebar. Move that camera icon around, over Desktop icons, Dock items, Menu Extras, etc, etc. Everywhere.

And since John Gruber delivered the obituary on the Apple HIG at C4 (and everyone is talking about it: Daniel Jalkut, Uli Kusterer, Michael Tsai, Scott Stevenson, et al), it seems time to release this so everyone can now define their own HIG.
This would work like a dram with the iLifeControls framework. Your window seems to handle re-sizing better too
