Try this. The firstRun variable makes sure the pane is only resized
once, or System Preferences will crash. Hope this helps.
- (NSView *) mainView {
// Return a different sized view for each version of OS X
// Leopard has a wider system prefs window than Tiger
// Include the Carbon framework for the Gestalt function
SInt32 MacOSXVersionNumber;
if (Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersion, &MacOSXVersionNumber) == noErr) {
if (MacOSXVersionNumber <= 0x01050) {
if (firstRun == YES) {
[prefWindow setContentSize:NSMakeSize(594.0, 354.0)];
// Resize for Tiger
firstRun = NO;
}
}
}
return [super mainView];
}
