Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2009-01-28 09:35:11 EST 
I really like the support for small fonts. However buttons now look a bit small.

Silenio, can you make this better by adding some extra trim during compute size ?
Comment 2 Scott Kovatch CLA 2009-01-28 13:15:24 EST 
Unfortunately the height of the bezel on push buttons (more specifically, buttons with the type NSRoundedBezelStyle) is fixed in Cocoa, depending on the control size. This is different from Carbon, where the button stretched to fill the control.

One possibility would be to change the bezel style of SWT.PUSH and SWT.TOGGLE buttons to NSRegularSquareBezelStyle when the size of the button is calculated to be greater than the height of a 'standard' button.

Take a look at the HI guidelines for buttons at <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/userexperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGControls/chapter_19_section_3.html> for more details.
