Re: How to change highlight colour on NSTableView row
Hi, Thanks for the post. I've tried your suggestion but it doesn't change the default rendering I'm afraid. Here's what I did: - created an NSTextFieldCell subclass - Added the method you suggested - changed the table cells in the NSTableView defined in IB to use my new subclass Was that the correct approach?

Re: How to change highlight colour on NSTableView row
I blogged about themeing NSTableView a while ago: http://orangejuiceliberationfront.com/themeing-nstableview/ That lists all the steps for changing highlight and other colors. Did you not see that via Google? Does that not work for you for some reason? I have a shipping application that uses this approach, and haven't heard any reports from users that the selection color was wrong. -- Uli Kusterer The Witnesses of TeachText are everywhere...

How to change highlight colour on NSTableView row
Hi, I have a custom subclass of NSTableView in my app. I would like to change the highlight colour displayed when the user clicks on a row, and have the colour maintained when the NSTableView subclass loses focus.

This maintains the same highlight colour when the table has focus, and when it doesn't. I would now like to change the default gray colour to a custom colour. My tableview is currently cell-based. I am targeting 10.7+ so I could switch to view-based if that would give me more options?
