HUD window buttons

Hi all

I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to use the buttons Apple uses on HUD windows. These ones:

I can’t see how to do it without workarounds. Are these buttons not available for Applescript Studio?

Thanks in advance…

Hi,

the recessed buttons look very similar

But also very different

I guess they can be faked, I was just hoping to not have to go to that much effort

I guess what you are looking for is this:

It’s a stunner There is also iLifeControls and TunesWindow. They all provide those HUD looks, but the BGHUDAppKit is definitely the best. In addition to that, it can be installed as a plugin to Xcode.
