Yes, if you have an NSOutlineView instance in SourceList display mode
you can just use its -backgroundColor is to get the correct color.
Refreshing whatever you draw whenever your window receives a

notification will keep it in sync with the outline view background
when the window becomes active and inactive.

NSWindowDidBecomeMainNotification or NSWindowDidResignMainNotification

Markus,

thanks, that looks promising.



Cheers,

Knut

There is no NSOutlineView in my App right now, but it sounds as it might be possible to use an invisible NSOutlineView-dummy just in order to get the colors from it.

Hi, Knut,



Best,
        Andrew

Just out of curiosity: if you're trying to mimic the Finder, iTunes, etc., what would you be using besides an outline view? A normal table view wouldn't allow you to have groupings of subitems that are viewable with disclosure triangles.
