Re: Sourcelist background colors
Be sure to redisplay your view when the window looses key-ness. How would this be achieved? I've been trying to figure it out, I'm sure there's something simple eluding me.

I've been trying to figure it out, I'm sure there's something simple eluding me. It appears to me that the view/window will repaint when the hosting window looses/gains -isMainWindow status (at least my window does that). So all you need to do is using -backgroundColor dynamically, whenever you redraw the view. The background color changes automatically and you don't have to update manually.

That may be a fluke -- certain views might do this, but not all. It is best to watch the appropriate notifications for your window: NSWindowDidBecomeKeyNotification NSWindowDidResignKeyNotification So all you need to do is using -backgroundColor dynamically, whenever you redraw the view.

Re: Sourcelist background colors
Sourcelist active background color: RGB(214, 221, 229) (#d6dde5) Sourcelist inactive background color: RGB(232, 232, 232) (#e8e8e8) I got this by taking two screenshots and using the color palette's magnifying glass. This is what you're looking for, right?

This is what you're looking for, right? Yes and no. Measuring the actual RGB values gives you what your system is displaying it with at the moment, not the computation that leads to that color - assuming such a computation takes place. Whether or not those are fixed values, I don't know. I guess that's part of the question (only Apple might be able to answer). I should have been more careful when asking. Sorry.
