This WWDC pic (while blurry) shows off two interesting things: 1) Phantom Menace was due out the next week and 2) That was Mac OS X before it had the Aqua interface. Still looks like Rhapsody. No, that version of AppearanceSample never shipped 
This was the year we demonstrated the Toolbox running on top of the new OS. Cool stuff.
I had the pleasure of attending WWDC this year. For those who don’t know, WWDC is Apple’s yearly World Wide Developer Conference. Of course, I imagine you probably have heard of it since Steve usually announces something new and cool there. This was my second time there as a spectator and not as a presenter. I have to say I really miss presenting at WWDC, despite all the craziness that surrounds it. Usually you are under the gun to get out stuff for the seed at the same time all your slides are due. A pic of me presenting can be found in one of my other posts here (testing Flickr blogging). I shed a tear just thinking about it. (more…)
I wrote this example ages ago, but it never saw the light of day. Today I decided to clean it up a bit and put it out there for others to play with. It’s a simple piece of code that shows how simple it is to put up a window with a custom frame that replaces the standard frame you’d see in a Mac OS X Window.
This is written in Carbon, not Cocoa. It’s fairly straightforward in Cocoa as well. I think the same basic principles apply, only there’s more of @ and[] and sometimes $#%!#(.
It uses the HIFramework stuff that’s part of the Apple Developer examples.
Enjoy.
