The relevant part. The only line I did not draw is the one that adds it to its superview, which really is trivial.

I do get the image with the sample code, now.

However, the sample code does not have a popup like I have, without border and only an image. That still does not work.

Also I found out that apparently something has changed in a recent OS update. There was another popup button I had that never worked (one with a border, though with a round textured bezel) but for which I can now get the image using code. A while back I had tried everything to get the image and it never worked (you can be assured I was thorough, I am not as stupid as Matt implies, and I definitely tried the straightforward single line of code that now works). 

But for the borderless popup with the above code I still don't get an image.
