If you have not already implemented it this way, I can suggest an
approach that we use elsewhere: first paint the text using the normal
text color, and then paint it again using the "highlighted" text
color, but restrict the clip region to the "filled" area of the meter.

Not sure how you implemented it, but the original intent was to
define two text colors - one to paint over the "blue" area and
another to paint over the "gray" background. That way, we can ensure
that there is good contrast between the text and the background
(unless the caller changes the colors, but we don't have any control
over that).

Of which there were only a few - Apple's HIG seems to discourage
putting
text into Meters, and I don't personally think it looks all that
great
myself.
I don't know what else I could use that would be guaranteed to
contrast
well with the fill colour.

Just wondering - why are you trying to match the display background
here? Might there be another color you could pull from the theme
that
would be appropriate?

One of the things I don't like in my commit here is that I'm hard-
coding
a color (Color.LIGHT_GRAY), which I had to do to match the
background
color, which is also hard-coded in DisplaySkin.
Surely these colours should be in the theme file?
Mind you, now that I am searching for them I see that quite a lot
of
Skin classes hard-code colors. I guess that's a problem for
another day.
