If you only want to do custom drawing, consider subclassing
NSButtonCell, which is the class responsible for drawing within a button. If that’s not powerful enough to do what you want, you should subclass NSButton, as it’ll give you lots of behavior for free, and will let you set up the button in Interface Builder as you would any other control.
