Got it. Thank you. All is resolved now. I’ve concluded that the “blue lines when selected” behavior must be a custom control used only in Xcode, onto which I’d gotten sidetracked. Personally, I feel it is rather difficult for a user even with good vision realize which one is selected. The correct answer, as Ken said, is: For Segmented Controls: Style: Textured Square (*) Mode: Select One For Buttons: Style: Round Textured This looks and behaves like Finder’s toolbar. It gives the selected segment a gray (dark gray if user has set “Increase Contrast”) background, and it *does* reverse the luminance as desired if I -setTemplate:YES on my custom monochrome images. (*) I also considered “Automatic”. Automatic has the same height, corner radii, and selection behavior as Textured Square. Often, “automatic” implies “future-proof”. But NSButton (NSBezelStyle) does not have “Automatic”, and I’m afraid that Apple might change the “Automatic” in 10.11, and then my buttons would different than my segmented controls. I would finally remark that the option names “Textured Square” and “Round Textured” shown in Interface Builder are 100% misleading. Neither one of them have any texture that I can see, the “Square” one is not square, the “Round” one is not round; they are both what I would call “Square with rounded corners” or “Rounded Square” or “Rounded Rect”, but that name is used by a different option. And the word order is flipped, like one is in English and the other in Spanish. This comedy is, I presume, the result of AppKit’s winding evolution over the last 30 years :)) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
