Re: Communications between multiple NIB's

This is the single question that's keeping all newbies awake at night.

Provided that your Prefs nib has a controller, you can use a 
Notification to let your main app know about the color changes.

However, isn't it plausible that your Prefs nib is lazily loaded by 
your main app? If so, it can easily place a link to itself in the 
Prefs baby. The Notification is cooler though, I think.

As the more experienced hands already has noted, the Responder chain 
should also work for you.

Another way is to make your main app the delegate of NSApp. Then other 
classes can find it with [NSApp delegate].

Just some thoughts from another newbie, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,
Bertil
