Several issues here: 1) Control tints only apply to window widgets, focus borders, token capsules and to Aqua UI. MacOS X 10.7 removed the last aqua buttons and replaced them with grey, tint-less buttons. So whatever tint you set, you won’t see it anymore these days. Those grey, tint-less buttons look very similar to some other button types these days. 2) When you create a new NSButton, it is by default set up to look like a NeXT-style button. You need to set its bezel to NSRoundedBezelStyle to get a Mac-style button. NeXT-style buttons don’t honour the tint either. So the code you posted isnot identical to the button you create in IB. Hence, even if you’re running on 10.6 or earlier where buttons still show the tint, it’s not surprising that your button looks different. 3) As others mentioned, buttons are usually set to “default”. To find out what that corresponds to, look at NSColor’s currentControlTint method.
