(Notes ~ “widget” doesn’t have the same meaning in iOS/OS X frameworks that it
does on other platforms. You mean “control.” Jonathan Hull just suggested the
UIToolbar family, which is an excellent suggestion. I wrote this assuming you
were asking about OS X. Because you hadn’t said otherwise. The fundamentals
about what’s available, what has to be custom made, and how to ask questions
are the same.)
Perhaps you could put what you want to do less telegraphically?
Five buttons on the bottom is not like [desktop] Safari, we can’t use “a lot of
apps” as a guide to examples, and if you’re talking about the design of your
own application, how many there are and where doesn’t matter. Buttons exist.
You can have five of them. You can put them anywhere, singly or together. That
is common.
I am guessing that you mean something like NSSegmentedControl [if AppKit].
Apple [often] has a special appearance for segmented controls in its own
applications, which are built with private code.
Many developers want that look, but it’s not in AppKit [UIKit]. You have to
make your own, or find a third-party library that gives you what you want.
Maybe you can get better search results if you try the terms “segmented control
Mac”. [Or “… iOS”.]
