PushButton background color

How do get the background color of a non-default PushButton? The MBS docs say to use LightGreyColor but the color is too dark on Tahoe:

dim theColor as Color = NSColorMBS.lightGrayColor.colorValue
g.DrawingColor = theColor
g.FillRectangle(0, 0, g.Width, g.Height)

I have no MBS here and I was too lazy to look into declares for this. Therefore I did a quick test using SwiftUI.

I found that unemphasizedSelectedContentBackgroundColor with 50% opacity gives a good result.

Here is some SwiftUI example code:


let c : NSColor = .unemphasizedSelectedContentBackgroundColor
Rectangle()
   .frame(width: 80, height: 80)
   .foregroundColor(Color(nsColor: c).opacity(0.5))

Great, I’ll check that.
