Did you do this before or have you written something for QuickLook in your created/ported Apps and Games?

Read on for some examples.

Example: iChat

I like to Port my apps with some gimmicks things like this, that shows that a lot of effort has gone into making it.
This is only the tip of the Iceberg, there are more code corrections and cleanups inside many of the resources that make it a different app then it originally was.
But, i’m too lazy to write a tutorial on how to do all this :P

Only configuring the interface files (which is also useful) requires XCode
