Thanks Max! I was dreading dealing with the toolbar but now that it's coming together does it ever look cool I just made everything the same size and faked the alpha (all my ppats are the same anyways so it blends seamlessly everywhere they show up). Yeah, the localized.rsrc certainly seems to be assembled haphazardly... no idea why most of these images live in here in the first place. Wierd.

Now here's a new question - the icons that appear in the finder toolbar - where do they live in the system? I'm assuming they're tweakable directly (till now I've been using CandyBar). Also, do these same icon resources appear anywhere else in the system at other sizes (for instance, is the eject icon in the toolbar calling on the same resource as the eject icon that appears in the dock when dragging disks to the trash? Is the Application folder icon the same as the one used by the system elsewhere? etc) ... I'm trying to do a cool button-driven dash-panel effect in the toolbar and would like all of these toolbar functions to look like a row of buttons, but I'm not sure I want these same buttons appearing in finder views as folder icons, etc.
