The recommended way to override the text color in an NSTableView NSTextFieldCell is detailed here:
 http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/11/5/222008.

However, there seems to be a problem setting the text color of a highlighted NSTextFieldCell when NSTableView -selectionHighlightStyle is set to NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleSourceList.

The following delegate method produces uneven text coloration of highlighted text cells.

The issue does not arise for non source list style NSTableViews.

/*

 tableview will display cell

 */
- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id)aCell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(NSInteger)rowIndex
{
        // note that when the NSTableView Highlight mode is set to source list
        // setting the text color of NSTextFieldCell seems to misbehave.
        if ([aCell isKindOfClass:[NSTextFieldCell class]]) {
                if ([aCell isHighlighted]) {
                        [aCell setTextColor: [NSColor lightGrayColor]];
                } else {
                        [aCell setTextColor: [NSColor darkGrayColor]];
                }
        }
}

Has anyone else encountered this?

Work around solution is probably to use NSAttributedString.
