Create square NSButton programmatically swift

Question

There's my code:

var newBut = NSButton(frame: NSRect(x: 150, y: 200, width: 30, height: 30))
newBut.title = "press me!"
self.view.addSubview(newBut)

But it creates the button that differs from square button. It's darker and has smh like a shadow. I'm looking for a way to change its appearance to copy the square button style.

Just set the bezelStyle of your NSButton to SmallSquareBezelStyle.

newBut.bezelStyle = NSBezelStyle.SmallSquareBezelStyle

In Swift 4 (Xcode 9) "bezelStyle" is now "BezelStyle".

Note that, BezelStyle no longer has a member "SmallSquareBezelStyle". BezelStyle is a "UInt".

Per Apple "NSButton.BezelStyle" documentation, BezelStyle can be:

circular
disclosure
helpButton
inLine
recessed
regularSquare
roundRect
rounded
roundedDisclosure
shadowlessSquare
smallSquare
textureRounded, and
texturedSquare

It seems that you were looking at one of the "square" button cases.
