Try making your images smaller by using NSImage's setSize: method, or
the million other ways to scale images on OS X. Once you have an image
that's the right size, call -setImage:forSegment: with the scaled
image.

As far as resizing the NSSegmentedControl's height, there's no direct
way to do it (as far as I can see). I've never seen an
NSSegmentedControl that's a different height than stock anyway, so I
wouldn't recommend doing it simply 'cause it'll look weird :)

If you _really_ need a taller one, you could create your own custom
control. It wouldn't be too hard, but I recommend making your images
smaller to fit the stock control.
