[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3927) MacOS Dark Theme - NB Dialogs
and ExplorerViews hard to see text
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3927?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17085645#comment-17085645 ]
Randall Wood commented on NETBEANS-3927:
----------------------------------------
I found this is only a problem if the macOS system has Apple's _Dark_ or _Auto_ appearance configured (I use _Auto_ to automatically switch between _Dark_ and _Light_ based on time of day).
With the _Dark_ appearance active when starting NetBeans, the problem is as described. With the _Light_ appearance active when starting NetBeans, the problem is not apparent at all.
With the _Auto_ appearance configured, if NetBeans is started while _Light_ everything works, but when the OS switches, some NetBeans UI elements (notably the status bar) change background color, but not foreground color (so the text become black on almost black and unreadable).

> Hi,
> When running NetBean 11.2 or even the latest 11.3 (from source) using the MacOS L&F all dialogs and text appear unreadable until selected.
> In fact, it appears that all the NetBeans ExplorerView components have an issue with rendering using the Mac OS X look and feel.. the text color appears white and hard to see.
> Checking the 'Maximize use of Native Look and Feel' helps the dialogs because it uses the Finder dialogs..but it doesn't fix the ExplorerView components.
