you meen you use pngs for the hole button? I rather wouldn’t do this.  
It is easier to maintain if you use a standard segmentet control (than  
you have only one action called and you get the "button" from the  
index) You do not need to take care of the pressed state and so on.

ok.

actually the Qt version needs a redesign even more ;)

This looks like a good idea to integrate everything in one window.
But it has various problems.
- The bottom border does not fit at all. The left part below the media  
list looks like Mail.app and the area below the vout looks a bit like  
iTunes.
- The second image has two media lists??
- The search field should stay close to the media list, or like in  
iTunes/finder in the upper right corner.

I did some very fast IB and Photoshop:
