1) draw up the interface in interface builder
2) link all the buttons up to an AS in xcode with unique names and all.
3) on clicked
if the name of theObject is "menu" then
tell application front row to show menu
else if the name of theObject is "pause" then
tell application front row to pause
etc....
etc...
end if
end tell
Front Row isn't scriptable, unfortunately, but the sending-key-codes route would probably work. I think the only problem would be getting a window to sit on top of Front Row - AFAIK, it makes itself frontmost when it appears, and the code to put something on top of a frontmost application is probably icky. Hiding the menu bar is muchly easy though.
