I´m new to Cocoa and I really need a hint in UI Design. How can I

That is not a panel (a panel is a window with a small title bar)
Isn't a window with a small title bar a palette window? I thought a
panel could either be a standard window used for dialogs or a palette
window.
And also how do they make this Bar at the Bottom?
The only real answer to that is "Use FScript to find out".
http://www.fscript.org. You'll need to download a separate version of
"FScript Anywhere" for Leopard. Apple is usually not eating it's own
dog food, Apple apps notoriously use their own UI implementation.
If you are interested how _you_ can achieve something similar, there
is a chance to build a view containing some NSButtons with gradient
look and either add manually the pulldown functionality to them or use
an NSPopupButton and tinker with the menu contents so it always shows
the icon and not the selected item.
The NSActionTemplate and NSAddTemplate should also be handy. Many
goodies (gradient look, system provided images) are Leopard only.
Well, with only Interface Builder and the Finder (Mac OS X 10.4.11),
you can find that it's custom views/controls with custom pictures (no
gradient code AFAIK).
