You should run the IB compatibility check for the version of the OS you're targeting. It sounds like your button images are set to scale, which isn't supported prior to 10.5.

Open your nib and click the "info" button if you're using IB3. Then set the target OS. If you click on the entries, it will take you right to the source of the problems. If you're not using IB3, select "Compatibility Checking..." under the File menu.

But, basically, buttons can't scale images except on 10.5. You need to do it yourself for older versions. It probably makes sense to just pre- scale the images in a graphics program.

I'm fairly new to XCode and mac development and am trying build a universal
binary that I started designing on leopard intel.
When I finally got my hands on a ppc tiger machine to test the UI looks completely different. The main issue is that the icons for my buttons are "zoomed in" on the ppc(probably same issue on tiger regardless of arch) and I'm unable to figure out why -- and I'm not able to select another icon file in Interface builder. What I mean here is that the entire icon shows on leopard on the face of the button while on tiger/ppc a subset of it shows because it's zoomed in and covers the whole face of the button. As a result the app looks horrible because the icons look meaningless. I'm using .icns
files.

I then saved my project to XCode 2.4 and also downgraded the NIB to
2.x(after resolving some small issues) and building on the ppc machine
using
XCode 2.5 produced the same problem.

The app generally works but is more unstable that I need to debug and test
and the behaviour is also slightly different but I'm sure that may be
inherent issues that surface on the other architecture that I just need to
debug through.
