iSync Window Style

[rhale1]

OK, so I was lookin at iSync on apple.com (wishing I had a bluetooth phone or iPod) and noticed this window:

I know iSync is new, but does anyone know how to replicate this feature?

Thanks!

I went creeping around the "package contents" of iSync, and sure enough, there are two picture files which make up this title-bar effect. they are...
iSync/contents/resources/ISyncSGBackground.tiff
and
iSync/contents/resources/ISyncSGSlash.tiff

if you want to do it yourself, I suppose you'd have to specifically make your app use those picture files as a title bar. See attached screen shot to see the files by themselves

Is there no way to remove the title bar of the window and just put an image at the top of the window?

Maybe something in ... RealBASIC?

To implement this in Cocoa, use a NSWindow with the NSBorderlessWindowMask style mask, and have a custom NSView that you implement which draws the striped title bar.
