Hi Eric,

as a quick fix, using macosxrc.txt is perhaps ok, however, it is a hack.

I disagree. During Mac OS X porters meeting in Hamburg, I discussed a long time about how implement some text parts in combo and listboxes with Stephan Shaefer, and he confirmed UpdateSettings() will probably help us, and things are not clear.

So this is not only a hack : we really need to improve UpdateSettings(). e.g. this is a very elegant way to change the highlighted color in listboxes.

Just an example.

Another possibility to create native ComboBoxes and Listboxes could be use HIView + overlayed frames, or something like that ( HIComboBox ..etc) , but it needs work.


The real solution is not to use macosxrc.txt at all, but to ask the settings


Do you have any suggestion ?


from the Mac OS X system preferences dynamically.

Well, this is already done for the scrollbars : when the user chooses to use buttons together, or separated buttons, we read preferences dynamically, and it works. Why not continue this way, progressively ?


do not know what the
functions are, but I'm pretty sure they are out there somewhere in the Mac
OS X API documentation.

I have some ideas.
