Instruments application layout
Hi there!
I wondering if anyone of you know how to set up an interface like Apple debug application name "Instruments".
I know there is a toolbar at the top and then, it should be a fixed vertical split view. I'm really interested in the left view. It's something like a list, but each item has a gradient background and an icon. Anybody knows what components they are using?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I've taken a screenshot of Instruments and my QuartzClock - which also has gradients. I've written a tutorial about the QuartzClock: http://clanmills.com/files/QuartzClock.pdf and the codes available from http://clanmills.com/files/QuartzClock.zip The code to draw the gradient is in the tutorial. The clock is resizable.
I believe you can draw anything you want in a TableView. So it would be quite easy to have a table view listing cities around the world and displaying the time in those places with the QuartzClock. You'll notice that the icon in the Dock (the little blue clock second from the left) for the QuartzClock is also a ticking clock. I chose not to use the gradient in the Dock clock, just to show in the tutorial that you can paint according to the context if you wish.
