You need to subclass NSTableview
and override -highlightSelectionInClipRect:
method.
It can be done like this:
Change your tableView's highlighting mode from regular to Source list in Attributes Inspector:
And now subclass NSTableView
like this:
-(void)highlightSelectionInClipRect:(NSRect)theClipRect
{
NSRange visibleRowIndexes = [self rowsInRect:theClipRect];
NSIndexSet *selectedRowIndexes = [self selectedRowIndexes];
NSUInteger endRow = visibleRowIndexes.location + visibleRowIndexes.length;
NSUInteger row;
for (row=visibleRowIndexes.location; row<endRow; row++)
{
if([selectedRowIndexes containsIndex:row])
{
NSRect rowRect = NSInsetRect([self rectOfRow:row], 3, 4);
NSBezierPath *path = [NSBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:rowRect xRadius:4.0 yRadius:4.0];
[[NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed:0.474 green:0.588 blue:0.743 alpha:1] set];
[path fill];
}
}
}
Result:
