I ran into similar stubbornness when trying to use a custom color for the title of an NSButton when it is disabled. My workaround, based on an answer I found on StackOverflow, was to override the cell's drawTitle:withFrame:inView: method. .m: <https://github.com/aglee/appkido/blob/master/src/CustomViews/AKButtonCell.m> .h: <https://github.com/aglee/appkido/blob/master/src/CustomViews/AKButtonCell.h> Maybe the same technique would work for you. You'd have to figure out how to reverse the color yourself, but at least you'd have complete control over the string's appearance. --Andy _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
