NSTextField Subclass won't show via Interface Builder

I created a Subclass of NSTextField. If i use it via code there's no problems, everything is fine and the component works as intended. If i use it via Interface Builder the component just won't show.

Here is my inits for the subclass:

-(instancetype)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect{

self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect];

if(self){

    [self setAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
    [self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blueColor]];
    [self setBezeled:NO];
    [self setEditable:NO];
    [self setSelectable:NO];
    [self.cell setUsesSingleLineMode:YES];

}

return self;

}

-(instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder{

self = [super initWithCoder:coder];

if(self){
    NSLog(@"initWithCoder");
    [self setAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
    [self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]];
    [self setBezeled:NO];
    [self setEditable:NO];
    [self setSelectable:NO];
    [self.cell setUsesSingleLineMode:YES];
}

return self;


}

For instance, if i create two components , one by code and one by Interface builder i can see only the first component, with blueBackground.

Any ideas? Thanks

When adding a subclass of an Appkit class in IB, add the nearest superclass and change the class in the Identity Inspector. So if you created a subclass of NSTextField, add a NSTextField and change the class.
