10.4 Compatible Source List

The source list in the Reference Tracker main window is made up from 3 custom Cocoa classes: An NSTable subclass, which draws the gradient highlight and deals with text editing behaviour, A custom NSCell which draws the icon and centered text, and a custom column header cell that does not draw a border on the vertical edges, to prevent a 2px line at the edges and give a cleaner look.
