UISwitch unimplemented

UISwitch is not implemented. Do you want to use my implementation of RCSwitch? If you pull in some of my classes, you can create a UISwitch subclass of RCSwitchOnOff, and it should work pretty well.

Here's another implementation of UISwitch, we should compare and decide for the best one.

I'll probably get attacked for saying this...but should UISwitch to fall through to a checkbox? Switches really shouldn't be used on OS X unless they control a background process or large service (see: Time Machine, and Server Preferences). Checkboxes are the native way to control boolean values, and making your preferences in an OS X app with switches would make it feel ported.
Hmm, that's more of a approach thing. I guess there is space for both options, some people will prefer a more complete port, others a simple checkbox. I'd aim for maximum portability, and would add a checkbox-wrapper als one of the AppKit-Extensions.
UINSCellControl was recently added so that AppKit NSCells (such as checkbox) could be used directly if so desired. I think we should implement UISwitch as it is in iOS. Applications wishing to use a more native look for switches could do things another way (in Twitterrific, we went with an all-native prefs window) or use the NSCell wrapper. Additionally, Facetime for OS X uses on/off switches in its preferences UI so even Apple is trying them out on the desktop.
