what is the best way to reproduce a page turning effect (like the one in iBooks) under Mac OS X?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
I haven’t personally done this. That being said, my advice is to take a look at Leaves, which implements an iBooks-like page turning interface for iOS, and try to port it to Mac OS.

Ii am looking for a guide and information to specifically reading from and writing to Mac OS 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 preference files using preferably C# Mono. However I am by far and large not picky and can pick up any other language to do the same thing.
Yes this is probably a duplicate question, I just haven't had the time to research it myself. I am not "just wanting the answer handed to me" because honestly that is not going to teach me anything in the long run. Thank you for your help and suggestions ^_^
Edit: BTW, working 8-10 hour days makes it difficult to do much of anything else. I have done some searching on and off and while I have found sparse materials on coding preferences for Mac in the Mac docs and a couple tuts here and there, there still is not much in the way of Mono driven preferences specifically. I will be checking out the answer with MonoMac, thanks for the reply.
Is there an API in the Mac OS SDK to do this?
If yes, chances are that this API is wrapped by MonoMac, and then you can just use that.
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the UISwitch on iOS.
Is their any existing project trying to implement something like a UISwitch for macOS and AppKit?
If not, where would one start to make one? I see them frequently and can think of so many uses.
I think you should use NSCheckBox since it is the equivalent on a computer where you use a mouse and not your finger.
For anyone that comes across this question in the future, I have developed a UISwitch for Mac (MacToggle) Swift 3 & AutoLayout
https://github.com/RichAppz/MacToggle
It's a replica of the iOS UISwitch and fully customisable.
Enjoy
I've used the Mondo Switch that's part of the Cocoa Mondo Kit. It works pretty well.
I recently extended Peter Hosey's PRHOnOffButton to add iOS-like background colors and labels. Since mine is derived, it may or may not have the same caveat described above by Peter.
You could use Peter Hosey’s PRHOnOffButton.
ITSwitch requires no images, integrates with Interface Builder and has lovely (modern) animations:

Recommended.
starting with macOS 10.15 'Catalina' there is a native control for that called NSSwitch: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsswitch?language=objc
Apparently libncurses...dylib is broken OS X 10.6.3 relative to Mutt, and perhaps other applications, that use ncurses, although it works in 10.6 (as I can attest) and reportedly it works in 10.6.2.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or a feature in the view of Apple? If a feature, is there a workaround for people who want to upgrade 10.6..., but also want to use, for example, Mutt?
Thanks
As your post is pretty sparse in details, I guess you're talking about the bug in ncurses that breaks the way arrows works? (And may quit programs when you try to use the arrows, as a side effect)
I described it here: http://www.uponmyshoulder.com/blog/2010/os-x-10-6-3-broke-ncurses/
If we're talking about the same thing, I honestly think this is a bug. It doesn't match the documentation for ncurses, and actually makes no sense.
I submitted a bug report more than two weeks ago, without any answer from Apple so far.
A workaround (as suggested by Jonathan Groll) is to copy /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib and /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib from a 10.6.2 system. I don't really know what to think about such a libraries switch, as it might trigger other problems, but it does indeed fix this bug.
I've been told by Apple that my bug (ID #7812788) is a known issue currently being investigated by engineering, and has been filled as a duplicate of bug #7812932.
I'll keep you updated. :)
I have some OLD programs that I'm mantaining. They still use resource files with resource forks, and all that hideousness.
My co-worker uses a 10.3 box that can still run mac classic programs and RezEdit.
I used to use ReSorcerer, but it doesn't seem to work very will in 10.6.
Does anyone have any recommendations for programs to use?
ETA: I need to be able to edit DITLs in a wysiwyg manner. So, it has to have some tools for moving around buttons, etc. Rezilla seems to only give me a list of window objects, and resknife seems to only give me a hex-dump.
You can run RezEdit on an emulator like SheepShaver. Works on Intel Macs.
I would suggest taking a look at Rezilla
This has been a rather problematic issue on numerous occasions. We have alot of our designers using Macs for design and the fonts based on there but when we need to see designs on a PC the fonts are not there.
I was wondering if anyone knows a rather efficient and painless method of moving/copying a font from MAC OS X to PC (Windows).
Thanks in advance!
If you are willing to pay, this seems like a solution:
CrossFont
If free is better, I'd try this:
FontClerk
