Re: Shiny little square buttons

Hmmm...

Ok.. well it looks like a custom view is the best option then. One question though, is it possible to "cover" a view with a translucent black rectangle to the give the "pressed" look of a button? If I could do this I would be pretty much set. I tried using NSRectFill() in the drawRect method, using a translucent color, but that didn't work.

The inspector tabs in Pages are an NSMatrix of NSButtonCells using (in most cases) only 2 images for each cell - "normal" and "selected".

(Personally, if I were doing this, I'd dispense with the background images and draw the gradients in code in a custom cell subclass. The reason being re-usability - it's easier to vary the colours, sizes and background shapes for different requirements.)

Jeremy
