I'd like to create the content lists in the style of the Finder window's left pane (similarly in the style Mail/iTunes/etc). Currently my NSTableView/NSOutlineView implementation looks a little basic.

Is there any tutorial that can help me mimic the Apple look? In particular, I'm after the header rows, the colours, etc.

You need to get a source list first: setSelectionHighlightStyle:NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleSourceList

You can get those really cool headers by implementing a delegate method: - (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView isGroupRow:(NSInteger)row or the NSOutlineView counterpart: - (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView isGroupItem:(id)item. 

[myOutlineView setSelectionHighlightStyle:NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleSourceList];
- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView isGroupItem:(id)item {
    return [self itemIsGroupItem:item];
}

This would get you the selection gradient, blue background, etched header rows, etc.

You should have a look at PXSourceList, it has the Apple look & feel.
