This looks like a documentation editing error. There’s no such thing as a 
“designated initializers value”. Forget about designated initializers.

So you showed this code:

but you forget to say what (if anything) goes wrong with *this* code. If you’re 
trying to force the button to aqua, there should be a ‘setControlTint: 
NSBlueControlTint’ and no ‘if’s, shouldn’t there?

Incidentally, I see in the OS X 10.1 release notes that there wasn’t originally 
a separate value for graphite. That’s not true any more. This fact may imply 
that the default behavior when creating controls isn’t especially logical, for 
compatibility reasons. Explicitly setting the desired tint may be the correct 
thing to do. I dunno.
