I've been experimenting some more with creating toolbars in IB, and I've been having some frustrations but I *am* able to easily create an image button like you're trying to do.
Did you remember to set the "Position" in IB? I mean the segmented control right under where you specify the "Image" and "Alternate" names.
If that's not the problem, all I can think of is a long shot: check the min/max values for the size of the toolbar item (not the view, but the NSToolbarItem). They probably make sense, but it couldn't hurt to check.
I assume you've read the "Toolbar Programming Topics", but just in case:
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Toolbars/Toolbars.html>
I've been reading it (okay, skimming it) and learning some things myself. Perhaps I should have mentioned that the last time I set up an NSToolbar there *was* no UI in IB...
Out of curiosity -- why are you using a view-based toolbar item, when all it's doing is displaying an image that you could simply put into an image-based toolbar item? Bear in mind that if the user chooses the "Text Only" option for their toolbar, you'll now have a non-functioning toolbar item, whereas an image-based toolbar item will still work. Of course it would be nice to get your button working, if only as an exercise. I'm just wondering if it makes sense UI-wise.
Anyway, I'm definitely seeing the wisdom of this now:
