At this point I think the only thing to do is to create a

You may also want to look into the HITheme API, part of the
HIToolbox framework, which allows you to draw the window frame using
the same code that Carbon and Cocoa use to draw their windows. You'd
pass kThemeUtilitySideWindow as the window type in
HIThemeWindowDrawInfo.windowType field to specify a left-side window
frame. You would also need to draw the window widgets yourself using
HIThemeDrawTitleBarWidget.
According to <http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=64-bit+Carbon>:
HITheme is currently undecided. We did hear from multiple developers
at the conference today who use HITheme and would like to see it in
64-bit.

Has the fate of HITheme has been decided, and it is going to be the
theme drawing API for OS X [1] going forward? The only documentation I
have found is the header HITheme.h and nowhere in there is mentioned
it being a 32-bit only API. Given that it uses Quartz parameters this
makes sense but I want to be sure before I spend time working on an
under-documented API, especially as it is in Carbon framework. Looking
at HIView.h it appears to be a safe because those API are documented as:
* Availability:
* Mac OS X: in version 10.2 and later in Carbon.framework
[32-bit only]
Thanks,
Nick
[1] Note I said OS X, not Cocoa, not Carbon and not Mac OS X, although
I will take an answer for any and all of those technologies :-).
