Interesting Look for the NSTextField

I saw this post on a new Cocoa development weblog, and it looks very interesting: a new rounded-corner NSTextField: SSTextField. The problem with much of Cocoa programming is the GUI components that Apple uses in it's high-end apps (in this case, Safari) are custom to Apple and don't make their way into Interface Builder for quite some time. Sure, eventually, they'll get there, but if you want to have that cutting edge design, you're on your own.

Anyway... someone decided to share what they had done with their app, and the result is a new look to NSTextFields:

SSTextField

Interesting view, though... I might use it in my CryptoQuip solver for an interesting look. Then again, I really need to fix up the initial legend drop-downs... so much to do...
