Transparent Images on Buttons in Jaguar?

Greetings CocoaDev!

I'm dealing with a problem similar to one that I've found mentioned on the list before ("Re: setHidden: on MacOS 10.2" Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 12:53:17 +0200) but that one doesn't seem to have a clear resolution and isn't an exact match for my issue. I don't want the button to be hidden completely, just have a transparent image and be placed on a transparent window (per the Apple round transparent window example). I tried using NSButton's "setTransparent:" method, but as the docs say, it prevents the button from being drawn, and that's not what I'm looking for.

I've got an NSButton with a transparent tiff graphic that works just swell under Panther, but under Jaguar, it's not transparent, or, it's transparent but shows the corduroy background even though it's on a transparent window (the transparent window itself seems to work fine on both Panther and Jaguar).

The button with image is created in IB using a tiff image in my Xcode project that was created in Photoshop.

I've put up some sample images and description on a website for your review, but really I just want to know what I'm doing wrong or if this isn't possible under Jaguar.

Please see:

for enlarged images showing the difference.

If you can help, please cc me directly on the answer as I only get the Cocoa-dev digests and I'm eager to get this fixed ASAP!

THANK YOU!

Joe
