You need to override NSButtonCell. You’ll use
drawInteriorWithFrame:inView:or a simililar method to do your custom drawing. If you’ve never used custom cells before it can be a bit of a learning experience, but there’s a lot of good advice out there, like this page to start with.You could also take a look at an open source framework like BGHUDAppKit for an example.
