You're probably filling your gradient into the rect passed in drawRect.That rectangle just represents the dirty part of your view. If you had a solid color to draw, you could just fill the rect, but with a gradient you will get your gradient, top to bottom, within this possibly small rect within your view.Try drawing the gradient into [self bounds] instead. This describes the location of the entire view in its own coordinate system.

Thanks to you both, you're absolutely correct! Works like a charm now.I'd like to be able to change the fill of my view depending on whether the application is active or not. The only problem is -drawRect isn't called when the application becomes inactive, is there a notification I can register for? In all my NSControl subclassing -drawRect is called on both become active and deactivating.
Thanks again for your help, that subtlety has never come to light until now.
