button styles

I’m changing the button style to other shapes available in the options but it doesnt take any effect !
It stays the usual standard rectangular shape…
What am I missing ?

Try to run your project. Not everything is shown in the IDE.

Beatrix is right that the IDE won’t show many of the different styles. I also got slighted a bit by using the Bevel Button and trying Retina with it I had to switch over to the pushbuttons since the pushbuttons are native and the bevel is not.

Are you compiling for Cocoa? They don’t change for Windows, Linux, or Carbon builds.

Cocoa Mainly (Windows also but I have different pushbutton sizing issues there.)

Are there any other things that work only under specific OS that we should be aware of ?

These sort of things are typically noted in the Language Reference. For example, PushButton.ButtonStyle has a box at the top that shows it is only supported on OS X Cocoa.
