Hi!

I think you have to do this with code. Put something like this in your 
NSSplitView delegate:

- (void)splitView:(NSSplitView *)sender resizeSubviewsWithOldSize:
(NSSize)oldSize
{    
    CGFloat dividerThickness = [sender dividerThickness];
    NSRect leftRect  = [[[sender subviews] objectAtIndex:0] frame];
    NSRect rightRect = [[[sender subviews] objectAtIndex:1] frame];
    NSRect newFrame  = [sender frame];
   
    leftRect.size.height = newFrame.size.height;
    leftRect.origin = NSMakePoint(0, 0);
    rightRect.size.width = newFrame.size.width - leftRect.size.width 
- dividerThickness;
    rightRect.size.height = newFrame.size.height;
    rightRect.origin.x = leftRect.size.width + dividerThickness;
   
    [[[sender subviews] objectAtIndex:0] setFrame:leftRect];
    [[[sender subviews] objectAtIndex:1] setFrame:rightRect];
}

Cheers,
