# interiorBackgroundStyle

The cell’s interior background style.

## Declaration

```swift
var interiorBackgroundStyle: NSView.BackgroundStyle { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The interior background style describes the surface drawn onto in the drawInterior(withFrame:in:) method. This is often the same as the backgroundStyle, but a button that draws a bezel would use a different value for this property. In a custom button with a custom bezel you can override this property and return a different value to describe that surface. A cell that has custom interior drawing might use the value of this property to pick an image that looks good on the cell.
