Where can I find colored indicators for use in Cocoa?

Question

I need color indicators. Need to be able to do green, yellow and red. Anybody know how? I looked through the available icons/etc in Interface Builder but did not see anything like them.

Like this: green indicator http://allynbauer.com/permafrost/green_indicator.png

Answer 1

You can find the images used in iChat/Mail/etc inside the InstantMessage.framework. The directory is /System/Library/Frameworks/InstantMessage.framework/Resources

You can get status-available.png, status-away.png, and status-idle.png

Of course, rather than needlessly including extra image files in your app, you could also include the InstantMessage.framework in your app and use [IMService imageNameForStatus:] to get the names of the system images for each status. See the IMService Class Reference

Answer 2

Using 10.6.8 and could not find the icons in the InstantMessage framework resource folder.

So alternatively got those from /Applications/uTorrent.app/Contents/Resources

(if you have uTorrent of course)

Answer 3

Using 10.8, I found them in /System/Library/Frameworks/IMCore.framework/Resources which is a symbolic link to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework/Resources

This post is quite old but I had some difficulties to find theses icons, so... :)
