Thanks for the heads-up...
I did indeed end up subclassing several NSCell subclasses (intercepting
setBezelStyle on the way), and moving all my drawing code to a utility
class...
Now Im looking for how to substitute my cells when loading nibs -
something with NSCoder, but that's about as far as I've gotten with The
Fine Manual ;-)

I'm looking for ways to add a new BezelStyle to the list currently
supported by NSButton & NSPopUpButton. I can easily live with not
being able to set it from IB, but would like to not have to create a
new Cell type and set the cell for all my controls from code.
Something like this would be nice:
static const int myBezelStyle = 9600; // Strange magic value
- (void) awakeFromNib {
[myButton setBezelStyle: myBezelStyle];
[myPopupButton setBezelStyle: myBezelStyle];
}
Would there be any way to catch this bezelStyle inside a cell's call
- (void)drawWithFrame:inView: and then check for the myBezelStyle?
I wouldn't recommend this. The bezel style is stored in only 4 bits
(16 values) and Cocoa uses 0..9 right now. The others are reserved and
subject to use without notice. Using a value of 9600 would definitely
fail.
Besides, how would you do your custom drawing without subclassing
NSCell and overriding -drawWithFrame:inView:?
