NSToolbarItem Image Scaling

Question

Why is this happening:

As you can see, in "Allowed Toolbar Elements" the image looks great for the "PHP" toolbar element, and when it is actually on the toolbar, it looks weird.

thanks

Answer 3

After you set the view to NSToolbarItem, the target and action of the toolbar item are ignored, so view should trigger the action. Since NSImageView does not handle clicks, you should use NSButton, not:

NSToolbarItem *toolbarItem = [[NSToolbarItem alloc] initWithItemIdentifier:@"someToolbarItem"];
NSButton *button = [NSButton new];
button.image = [[NSBundle mainBundle] imageForResource:@"some_image"];
button.target = self;
button.action = @selector(someAction:);
((NSButtonCell*)button.cell).highlightsBy = NSNoCellMask; // to stop the button highlighting when you press it
button.bordered = NO;
toolbarItem.view = button;
