That's what's painting the gray border. I had it too :-) You need to make sure your button type is set to Custom in Interface Builder (or in your code) and not the default Rounded Rect.

I can't seem to get my button quite right. The button I want to customize is set in interface builder to be 300x41px, so I create my glossy image to be 29x49px (+8 as you said). I use this code to set the image to the button: [generateButton setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"greenButton.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:12.0 topCapHeight:0.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; This is what I end up with: http://img.skitch.com/20100219-gggm5cawkw887x4nftdhnf38dd.png A horrid white border. I have tried playing around with the buttons shadow property, but that didn't seem to change anything. Also tried playing around with the size of the button and resizing the image, but still no juice… Any suggestions? :) Hey,

It worked like a charm. I set up the CVS on my development mac and just used "localhost" as the host in the Eclipse CVS Repository setup wizard. BTW, step 4 WAS necessary for me unlike one of the commentors above. Thanks for posting this! It worked like a charm.

It's really that easy. Unfortunately, your entry isn't top of the list, if you google for "setup cvs eclipse mac os x", so I lost almost two hours with other tips, that didn't work. Thank you!

I'll be trying your solution tonight but all I did was change the application name and rebuild it and I got that error. This will be the second frustrating bug I've experienced in xcode myself.

So I never commit the build directory to source control at all, and when saving the project directory (by Compressing it) I always delete the build directory first. It's much better than just doing a "clean" in Xcode. It appears that deleting the build directory is perfectly safe.
