Well, I had to try it in a test project. I don’t see *any* difference in 
appearance in the buttons, with acceptsFirstResponder YES or NO, regardless of 
window state, regardless of IB canvas or running application, *except* that 
colored highlights (the blue indicating a default button, or the blue menu 
indicator on a popup button) change to gray in an inactive window.

This is with macOS Sierra. It’s possible that earlier iterations of the OS X UI 
did have an inactive appearance for buttons, and my feeble recollection is that 
this was so for a while in the 10.6-10.8 era, at least.

Perhaps what I did at the time was disable the button when the window went 
inactive.

Well, the event parameter is allowed to be nil (and AppKit headers have been 
audited for nullability, so it’s not likely to be an oversight).
