Hi Corbin,
Many thanks for the clarification, and for providing the official and better
way of doing this. Although I will now go through my code an try to do this at
the cell level, as obviously I'd much rather my app be future-proofed and avoid
using private methods, it's not the ideal "perfect world" solution in my case -
that is, it's a lot more work than being able to do it at the table level. My
outline view has many columns (which can be shown and hidden by the user), each
with different cell types. I have text cells, button cells, popup button cells,
image cells and custom cells - all of which will now need subclassing to
override -highlightColorWithFrame:. (I will probably make generic subclasses of
NSTextCell, NSPopUpButtonCell etc, each with accessors deciding whether or not
to return nil from -highlightColorWithFrame:..., and then may my custom cells
subclasses of those.) So although the requested method may not be essential, it
would save subclassing
every cell type you need to use. :)
Thanks again for providing a way of doing this without resorting to private
methods, this is something I've been doing for years without realising.
All the best,
Keith

Thank you for logging the bug -- I do realize we could make this better.
Currently, there is a way to do it (override highlightColorWithFrame:), so
adding the requested method is "nice to have", but not essential.
