Well currently GSToolbarView supports custom colors but this feature  
is not documented because it may change a bit. Initially I asked on - 
dev list about possibility to add toolbar colors support in system  
colors list but I didn't obtain a positive answer, that's why I  
decided to implement it in a separate color list called "System  
extensions"… My plan is to move this color list management in a  
NSColor category within a file named NSColor+Extensions.m probably

"System extensions" color list supports two keys:
- toolbarBackgroundColor
- toolbarBorderColor

You have also two methods in a NSColor category to retrieve them (the  
category is declared in GSToolbarView.h):
// Toolbar related NSColor methods
@interface NSColor (GSToolbarViewAdditions)
+ (NSColor *) toolbarBackgroundColor;
+ (NSColor *) toolbarBorderColor;
@end

GSToolbar (NSToolbar's super class) has also an extra method '-  
(void) setUsesStandardBackgroundColor: (BOOL)standard' to use a light  
gray hardcoded color for background (standard=YES) and not the window  
background color (standard=NO, value by default). This possibility  
was requested by Gregory Casamento for Gorm but currently this light  
gray color cannot be changed with "System extensions" color list, I  
plan to fix this issue.

If I remember well, Nicolas Roard wanted related changes for Camaelon  
too…
