How is the built-in controls made?

[Eric Chatonet]

Jan,

One add-up to the excellent reply from Andre: all these buttons use  
images as icons.
You will find them in the revIcons stack (use the app browser as I  
told you yet :-) to see all originals of them.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
