Good point. I WAS just about to upload a screenshot showing how bad this was.
Until I opened a few Apple dialogs and found they look exactly the same.
I guess somebody at Apple thinks what they have wrought is aesthetically pleasing, but jeez…
Its not quite so bad if the textfield has focus rect turned on… at least you can see what you are typing into. But hey… Apple didn’t on their dialogs…(Startup Disc preferences for example)
