I'm trying to create a label programmatically using NSTextField, but it comes out blurry: screenshot This is my code so far: NSTextfield *textfield = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(5,5,150,20)]; [texField setStringValue:@"some text here"]; [textField setEditable:NO]; [textField setSelectable:NO]; [textField setBordered:NO] [textField setDrawsBackground:NO] I've traced the problem down to the setDrawsBackground line. I've also tried using [textField setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor] as well, but no luck. By the way, I've adding to a textField to the subview of a view that

How to add a custom font to storyboard in Mac app development. I went through some blogs and tried by adding font book and develop one NStextfield using this custom font using storyboard. But it is system dependent. I created the DMG and install in another computer it uses the default font. I did it programmatically, but my requirement is through storyboard.

I have a view based NSTableView with a custom NSTableCellView. This custom NSTableCellView has several labels (NSTextField). The whole UI of the NSTableCellView is built in IB. The NSTableCellView can be in a normal state and in a selected state. In the normal state all text labels should be black, in the selected state they should be white. How can I manage this? Probably the easiest way to accomplish this would be to subclass NSTextField and to override the drawRect: method in your subclass. There you can determine whether the NSTableCellView instance containing your NSTextField instances is

I'm trying to create a text field similar to Finder's file labels. I would like the last (second) line to be truncated in the middle. I started with a multi-line NSTextField . However, calling [self.cell setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle]; results in a the text field showing only a single truncated line (no line breaks anymore).

Plus, if you're building

The problem is that when it is too large (approximately more than 1/3 of the window width) it just switch the textured window to draw a darker version of it gradient. Here is an example project (very simple...) for you to test. http://raven.ipodtutofast.com/test.zip When you will build and run it notice the background of the window, initial one is fine, now make the window bigger, it will
