   2.  It is the only program I've seen that alters the look of its
       icon while it's in the dock (when you're in "test interface"
       mode it turns into a giant switch).  How on earth does it do
       this?  It seems like it too must be a hack.

Lots of program change their Icon while running.  Under 1.0 there was
even one in /NextDeveloper/Examples  called Clock.   In the network
archives, there's Eyecon.   Altho I haven't had to do  this myself,
I think I've run across how to do it when reading the documentation
of the Application Class.
