When creating Cocoa bevel button with custom image and alternate image I'm having a strange behavior. In the pressed state the button background becomes white. I'm adding the button as subview of a transparent window (HUD window).
I'm trying every technique that I know:
NSButton *closeButton = [[NSButton alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.0, 0.0, 30.0, 30.0)];
[closeButton setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint(0.0, 0.0)];
[closeButton setImagePosition:NSImageOnly];
[closeButton setAction:@selector(closeWindowAction:)];
[closeButton setBordered:NO];
[closeButton setTransparent:NO];
[closeButton setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@"icon-tclose-off"]];
[closeButton setAlternateImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@"icon-tclose-on"]];
[closeButton setBezelStyle:NSShadowlessSquareBezelStyle];
[closeButton setButtonType:NSMomentaryLightButton];
//[[closeButton cell] setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[[closeButton cell] setHighlightsBy:NSChangeBackgroundCellMask|NSCellLightsByContents];
//[[closeButton cell] setHighlightsBy:NSContentsCellMask];
//[[closeButton cell] setShowsStateBy:0|NSContentsCellMask];
I also tried
[closeButton setButtonType:NSMomentaryChangeButton];
[[closeButton cell] setHighlightsBy:NSContentsCellMask];
with no results.
You can see the wrong behavior in the attached screenshots:
