Thanks everyone for the replies. Yes I guess I just need to get a bit better at subclassing to get the right look. :-) To be sure I would subclass NSSegmentedControl not NSSegmentedCell right?
And for the UIControls I guess for the examples right? Yes I'll look into this. And yes the textured control gives a similar look depending on the background. But not quite as nice like for example the divider lines in my pics go all the way from top to bottom where the stock Lion control does not go all the way leaving an empty space at the top/bottom. It doesn't look bad, but just not quite as nice as my examples... rc On Mar 23, 2012, at 4:32 AM, Seth Willits wrote: > On Mar 22, 2012, at 7:14 AM, Rick C. wrote: > >> Just looking for an opinion what's the best way to create controls like this: >> >> http://cl.ly/191V3Z1C0m2k2U0V443x >> >> I initially assumed subclassing NSSegmentedControl, but then I was thinking >> maybe I can just subclass NSButton and put them together.
