I’m in the process of adapting one app to Tahoe interface.
One of the worst UI elements in Tahoe is the flat, insipid PopUpMenu control: looks really bad specially placed next to text fields, with that ugly grey background that points to a disabled control. Very bad visual design, IMO.
I’ve tried to change it using NSPopUpButtonMBS.backgroundColor, but background doesn’t change.
Any suggestion ?
Why try and make it look different from every other PopupMenu in the system? Sure you don’t like Apple’s choice, but, if you leave it standard, at least the user with get a consistent experience. Making it different will only make the user question what the control is, not isn’t that pretty.
I’m not saying I like it. Any more than I like that all sheet windows have a white background, that the likes of text box are invisible on.
