I’ve noticed that, on Yosemite, a text field’s cue text is dark (&c262626) when the field doesn’t have the focus, and then goes paler grey when the field does have the focus. Does anyone have any idea if that is new and expected behaviour, or some kind of bug?
The Xojo framework lets the system deal with this, so what you’re seeing is just a change in Yosemite. It seems you’re not alone in disliking this behavior, given this radar.
There are a lot of known ‘color’ issues with Yosmite. Popupmenus, Textfields, …
For example for Popupmenus with bevel type 15 ,every Yosmite DP version had different colours for text and backgrounds.
DP5 now has now a black color, DP4 had a transparent color, DP3 a yellow color, …
Fingers crossed if they get it right for the initial release. But as Joe already said, no bug in Xojo.
Just a note that cue text is now correctly coloured (pale grey) in the latest developer release of Yosemite.
Currently it seems it’s not possible to let Yosemite colorise labels for you. I can set the label to use the correct color (per Yosemite docs) but Xojo overwrites it… May have to create a custom label control…
Um… not that I’ve found.
I’ve made a window with a PushButton and two Labels on it. Label1 has its textColor set to &cFF0000. Label2 has its textColor set to black.
In the pushbutton I have the code:
Label2.TextColor = &cFF00000
label2.Text = "Hello there."
When I run it on Yosemite, Label1’s text is ‘Untitled’ in red. Label2’s text is the same in black. Pushing the pushbutton sets Label2’s text colour to red.
I’m running Yosemite DP7.
(…and using RS 2012 r2.1.)
Wrong conversation… I apologise, blame the late nightness. Carry on gentlefolk.
