what is the meaning of library icon in xcode 4.5? - xcode

i'm confused with icon of library that presented in xcode 4.5. I did not know what different between these icons as these icons present for the same library. Sorry if this is a very basic question, but i cannot find any document that tell me what the difference of these icons.
I also posted the image of these icons. Thanks for any explanation.

In the first one, it appears that Xcode can find the file, but doesn't recognize it as a static library. The second one indicates that it is a static library. (It's supposed to be an icon of a Library where you'd check out books.) The third means that Xcode cannot find the file on disk. It may be pointing to the wrong path, for example.

Xcode files (such as view controller.h) aren't showing up.

I just wanted to know why some of my files aren't showing up on the Xcode side bar. I was watching this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNAPy2LqcrY&spfreload=10
video tutorial, and I noticed that my sidebar looked different. I didn't have any of the special files or view controllers. I only have the main.storyboard and viewcontroller.swift
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks!
It is because he already started. You need to also use Objective-C and not Swift if you want to follow that tutorial. If you look in the description of youtube video, he has links to all the other files and his completed project.

How to extract UI elements from XCODE?

I'm looking to get a PNG (or other image format supporting alpha transparency) version of the UI builder (sliders, togglers, buttons etc.) elements from XCODE. Does anyone know how to do this/where the files containing these are located?
I suppose you are looking for GUI kits in the form of PSDs...
If yes, check this handy link http://speckyboy.com/2010/04/30/iphone-and-ipad-development-gui-kits-stencils-and-icons/

Hope this answers your question.

Source of Thunderbird's Default Theme by Arvid Axelsson

I need to edit the original icons from Thunderbird's Default Theme by Arvid Axelsson.
Does Mozilla provides an SVG version?
I need to know the style of the icons, because they're really specific (inner-shadow etc). It's not a simple -moz-effect (CSS). Does anybody know where to find or download the real skin-source or how to view files inside chrome://global/skin?
There are actually three default themes - Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. You seem to be talking about the Windows theme which is indeed being attributed to Arvid Axelsson even though he doesn't seem to be working on it (looks like he created the theme around Thunderbird 1.0 and other people took over since).
Looking at the source code repository, the icons are there but their source code isn't. I also checked the bugs associated with icon changes and the source code of these icons indeed doesn't seem to be public. Which means that the only way for you would be contacting the person who designed the icons. That would be Andreas Nilsson, click his name in bug 671236 to send him a mail.

How to display "the" Assistant Editor?

To add an action for the button . . .
In Xcode, select the view controller’s nib file (MyViewController.xib).
Display the Assistant editor.
Make sure Assistant displays the view controller’s header file (MyViewController.h).
Control drag from the button in the nib file to the method declaration area in the header file.
How to do step 2?
How to display "the" Assistant Editor?
It's exclusive to Xcode 4:
In Xcode 6
It is the second button with two circles.
EDIT: As of the latest version of Xcode this has changed.
In XCode 6.2 it seems they've changed the icons again. I was having trouble finding it but I didn't realize where the buttons were until the dumb old me trying to pick up iOS thought I was missing a view, so here I am posting this for any passerby who needs some visual confirmation.
To be fair, I was looking for something based of some instructions I had read that referenced the two circles, and it didn't occur to me that two circles meant a split view / assistant editor, and not until after finding this post and figuring it out did I realize a suit was a reference to a butler AKA assistant :D

How does MacOS developer navigate large code base

I am new to MacOS development. I would like to know how developer navigate code in a large code base on MacOS? E.g. webkit? I have webkit (c++) built in XCode, but the source code navigate is not that great.
I am looking for something like Java source code navigation in eclipse. e.g. display class hierarchy, e.g. caller of a particular method?
Any one has any idea?
I think what you are looking for is the "Project Symbols" item in the Groups & Files sidebar.
If you double-click it, there are more view/filters, like only showing your project's classes:
Project Symbols http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6709/symbolbrowserwebkit.png
TextMate (commercial program) has a project browser, it's better than just using XCode to get an overview. For navigating the many files to see how the big projects are layed out, you need a good file manager, such as PathFinder.
Class Browser may help.
Project->Class Browser or Command+Shift+C
