I am trying to make an inspector window similar to the one in Pages
using a row of buttons at the top to select panes. However, I can
not work out how to get the blue highlighting effect on these buttons.
The small square bezel buttons are perfect for this, except I can't
make them go blue! I realize that pages uses images for their
buttons, but I was looking for a way without making 3 or 4 images
for each button.
Any ideas?
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.)
