A smattering of Pixie dust.
Pixie is a great tool. If you’re interested in using StyledWindow to recreate existing Polished Metal implementations here are some values for you.
iWeb:
[styledWindow setBorderStartColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.7686 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEndColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.5922 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEdgeColor: [NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.2510 alpha:1.0]];
iMovie HD & iDVD:
[styledWindow setBorderStartColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.7686 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEndColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.5922 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEdgeColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.2549 alpha:1.0]];
iPhoto:
[styledWindow setBorderStartColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.7686 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEndColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.5922 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEdgeColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.4039 alpha:1.0]];
iTunes 7:
[styledWindow setBorderStartColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.7725 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEndColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.5882 alpha:1.0]];
[styledWindow setBorderEdgeColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceWhite:0.2510 alpha:1.0]];
You can use the Demo App to figure out the heights of the borders.
How do I create a Purple or Pink interface with this?? Or maybe a Black and Grey one?????????
Could you please tell me the 0._____ whatever values??

The method colorWithDeviceWhite: only deals with shades from white to black. Assuming this isn’t a troll (Pink? Purple?) You’ll want to look here for more info on colors in Cocoa:

But I do have to plead with you to please not actually ship Pink or Purple windows.. please?!?!
