Hmm, as far as I know, you cannot add new images into a NIB file of already-built product/bundle. You need to add the images to the project first, which means you have to have the source code...
Actually, you can just use the X-Code tools to open the resources for any project and change them. If you have a two-button mouse, just right click on the icon and choose the "Show Package Contents" menu-item. Enter the "Contents" folder and then the "Resources" folder. You can then change the resources by saving your new image as the same file name as the one you would like to replace. I suggest you rename the existing resource as a backup first!

Would it be better to adhere to some of the PC front end schemes so they are interoperable between programs, or do you think they're too far along to agree to a standard?
Great idea! How about we look at RR as it is open source and seems to have an active community. If a OS X front end could be written that used RR skins, that would provide a very good library of pre-written skins for us to choose from and modify! Alternately, we could look at Linux skins as well, but I'm betting the choice would be better from RR or Frodoplayer (but we might need to get Frodo's permission to glom onto his project like that!)
I'm hoping that CCar continues, but I'm starting to get very concerned as there seems to be no activity. It appeared that the database architecture created for that system would provide the best foundation for a robust program. Perhaps the author would open it up to the community if he has abandoned it.
