Background color of selected text in Info inspector

Open LennyLip opened this issue 1 year ago • 12 comments

Describe When I select text in Info Inspector it's almost not visible due background color (when Info Inspector is active window)

The Info Inspector is supposed to be forced dark style, and the selection color is supposed to be a dark color based on your accent color, or the app's default accent color if the system is configured to allow it Screenshot 2022-08-09 at 11 21 27 PM .

Edit 2: Oh right, that's why it's more visible. I have Increase Contrast turned on.

Edit 3: Here it is with Increase Contrast turned off: Screenshot 2022-08-09 at 11 23 57 PM

Your black background is not common, look at the picture in the repository. It looks exactly like my screenshot. https://github.com/losnoco/Cog/blob/main/.github/images/MainWindow.png

Yes, and with a white background, it should use that dark orange as the selection background color. Please try this again. If it isn't fixed, it's an Old macOS bug that I can't adequately deal with.

Guess I have to determine why the colors are overriding the settings. Either I made it forced dark mode for the info box, in which case the white text makes sense, but the selection color does not. Or it's not forced dark mode, and the text is accidentally set to forced white color instead of theme default.

Cool, I've verified that the color being unreadably bright only affects Intel Macs, as it happens on my 2014 MacBook Pro, but not on my 2020 Apple Silicon Mac mini.

I guess I have something I have to report to Apple. That, or I have to change the Info Inspector so it's not forced Dark Mode colors, so the text will change to black on Light Mode.

I have a MacBook Air with M1 chip.

In that case, maybe it's specific to laptops. I can't say it's specific to P3 screens, since I don't think the 2014 MBP has a P3 screen.

I'll attempt to make the Info Inspector light/dark switching next time I'm working on the Mac.

I have an external HUAWEI MateView monitor, and it looks exactly as at laptop.

I guess I didn't test light mode recently. It was working before. Will deal with it soon.
