Hi folks,
The Apple HIG describes bottombars but gives graphical examples that I can't 
achieve. They are using mainly iCalc as an example.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-SW6

In iCalc, and iChat and probably many other Apple products the bottom bar and 
the toolbar has a black indentation line between the bar and the main content 
view giving a bas relief appearance to the main content. I've got a standard 
window, textured as per instructions with a Splitview in it (outlineView on 
left, tableView on right) but I can't get the same appearance. How is this done?

On a related point, why do Apple insist on demanding we implement interface 
elements that don't appear to be out-of-the-box or aren't adequately described 
how to be achieved?
