There are some application, whose controls use the

NSBlueControlTint.
How can this be done?
Thanks, Ralph.
Hi!
My answer is below, but I strongly advise you not to potentially go
against the user's own preferences. A user will expect your controls
to appear the way that they're used to seeing them, and the first
thing that I (and many others, I suspect) do when I find an app that
doesn't "feel" quite right is drag it to the Trash. I would submit
that unless you have a very special case, just wanting to make your
app look different is not a real reason to do this.
If you have a need to do this, I would go with the method -[NSCell
setControlTint:] (a few other classes have it such a method, too;
search the docs).
Apologies if that sounds harsh. It is meant with no disrespect and
also to save you trouble, as I cannot emphasize enough how important
appearance is to a Mac app. :)
Cheers,
Andrew
