I have an app that has quite a few buttons on each card that, after the
initial setup of the card data, don't need to be clicked again.  I'd like to
hide the buttons under a cover or in a drawer so they don't clutter up the
card.  I am wondering what structure to use to be consistent in an
x-platform environment.  Do the PC apps have drawers?  Should I make up a
cover graphic like the door over the VCR buttons?  What would meet the
common expectation of both sets of users?

Drawers are cool, but are limited to OS X.

Fortunately OS X also recommends disclose triangles and buttons:

These controls are nearly universal, so you can implement it once and satisfy users on all your target platforms.
