The thing that I hate is that when you create a HUD window on Leopard, it doesn’t work on Tiger. If anyone has a workaround for that, that’d be cool

If you look in the iPhoto ‘09 resource bundle there are a bunch of images starting with ‘HUD_’ that iPhoto uses for buttons and such. You have to assign them to your NSButtons in your code, but still, better than nothing.

Releasing only the HUD window sure is half assed work from Apple. I’ve checked Keynote’s “Adjust Image” with F-Script and it shows classes like HUDSlider and HUDButton. Knowing the code is there but unavailable to us is pretty annoying.

Anyway, thanks for the Shiira link !

Apple hasn't released anything as far as I know. You can of course use the Shiira BLKAppKit and integrate that into your project, but I would much rather have Apple release a standardized set of controls to use with HUD windows. It puzzles me why the release of the window itself was not accompanied by anything else. Like that really helped developers at all.

Hi there ! Any news on the HUD front ? The HUD download is still up, but the dev site looks like it’s been reset. I take it there’s still no official solution ?
