No restart required
Authored by: macavenger on Nov 21, '02 12:49:10PM

Ok, this might have an element of risk to it, but I was able to accomplish this without even having to restart at all. Simply change the permissions on the .nib file and enclosing folder to you, edit it, save, and change the permissions back. Works like a charm, change takes effect the next time you open the info window, and interface builder even automatically saves a backup of the original, although that might be a setting in my preferences. I've actually done this with numerous system .nib files, and never had a problem. Although if you are the paranoid type (not a bad thing, in this case), you may want to make a backup copy of the file first.
