The reason I was using NSShadowlessSquareBezelStyle is that in a matrix I had set the prototype cell to have that style. That matrix is a subclass of NSMatrix and I also subclassed NSCell. All works as desired for that case. BUT, and here's a big difference. Those matrix cells have my created images set for Off and Alternate states.
Whereas my earlier test code in the original post showed me, in the debugger, that the NSButton images were null. The docn for Using System Tint showed code using images for the Clocks. IIRC there was a sample code project for the Clocks. I'm hoping I don't need to set an Aqua Tint image for the Alternate image. Ideally it should "just work". Anyway my next step is to follow up on Keary's suggestion as well as follow in your footsteps by making a demo project to explore the precise difference between an IB button and my attempt at coding one. I'll post here when I have some results worth sharing. Thanks to everyone for responding to help me with this supposedly simply task. respect… Peter _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
