Thanks for sharing. I've wondered for a long time what UI toolkit was used to make Picasa! So you create the UI elements as PSDs and then export to some image format when building? Or do you actually interpret the PSD files in code itself?

During development, you can use PSDs directly. For shipping it all gets compiled to squeeze out overhead bytes. There's a parallel text file to describe hierarchy and extra properties. Sort of clunky, but it works.
