Using gradient buttons is much easier because the controls is already there, so I don't need to create controls by myself or use 3rd party code. > Then create a custom NSView that draws a gradient using the > *INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT* system calls.

Yes, but, as I said before, the controls is already there and I planned to use them to make the app simpler, but now I see there is hidden problems.
