For some special usage, I want to set a nstabviewitem in my nstabview to semi-transparent black background. However , after I hovering over and over nstabviewitem APIs, I found nothing about my purposes.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Thank you in advance.

If you want just the contents (what's inside the tabs, tabs not included) to be a certain color, you can achieve this by setting the tab view item's content view to a custom NSView subclass that draws whatever background you want (via NSTabViewItem's -setView:).


You'll need to set the NSTabView to not draw a background to get the transparency to work right (via -setDrawsBackground:). Note the tab view type has to be NSNoTabsNoBorder for this to work.

For the entire tab view, you'll need to subclass NSTabView and override -drawRect: which will likely be more complicated than simply doing your thing and calling super.

That said, if you give a more specific description than "some special usage", you might get better suggestions for your approach.
