Here’s a nifty-looking resource for your desktop Cocoa development: BWToolkit! A wide selection of handy-dandy classes for jazzing up and speeding along your interface work — and get this, they come with their own Interface Builder plugin to boot:
BWToolkit is a BSD licensed plugin for Interface Builder 3 that contains commonly used UI elements and other useful objects. Using these objects is as simple as dragging them from the library to your canvas or document window.
When I first heard about the plugin architecture in IB 3, I saw a huge potential for improving the developer user experience and lowering the barrier to entry for developers who are new to Cocoa. I hope to have accomplished that with this plugin…
Yes, the various goodies described in the links would be nifty enough on their own — and the latest version is right up to date with Snow Leopard, no less — but we’re quite looking forward to adding our own collection of custom views and the like to Interface Builder … just as soon as we have some spare time. *laugh* *sob* *whimper*. Well, anyways, in the meantime, grab the source from bitbucket and check it out for yourself!
