Nib Files, HTML Files, and Images
Some of you might have already known this, but I just figured it out: You can access all the nib files, HTML files, images, and other resources of any application, through Terminal. Type in:
open /Applications/SomeApplication.app/Contents
with the complete pathname of the application. Remember to add the .app extention.
I knew you could do this with directories, but I didn’t know you could do it with application bundles. I guess they count as directories too. This is a useful thing to know, because then you can do things like replacing the icons, etc.
Another way to do it is to download CatScan ($10), written by Mike Matas.

Mmm, can’t get enough of those nib files. (now, what should I do with ‘em?)
But how about this: CTRL-click on an application icon in the Finder and select “Show Package Contents”
Or is that different?

…Hey, wait a minute, I thought that only worked with Widgets - ! But now that I try it, it’s exactly the same thing.
