In a Carbon application I would like to use a control similar to the
red, yellow, and green button in the title bar of a floating window,
that is very small, colored buttons. Is this control generally
available? What is it called? Where is it documented?

TIA,

John

It's not a public control. I'd recommend against using it in your gui.
Having said that, here is the bullet:

OSStatus DrawThemeTitleBarWidget (
ThemeWindowType flavor,
const Rect * contRect,
ThemeDrawState state,
const ThemeWindowMetrics * metrics,
ThemeWindowAttributes attributes,
ThemeTitleBarWidget widget
);

Thanks for the info. Strange that it's not public. It's so useful it
should be.

Thanks,

John
