Knowing that the fix is in (so to speak), I can happily wait for a more stable test release to actually get it.

Re: [MlMt] white numbers in menu bar counter
Guess this explains why different people have dissimilar coloring of the counters with same version of MM. other opinions of hidden prefs and counters to the contrary, eh?- -Please excuse the tttapping errors...

I don't know whether these exist as user-accessible settings. If they do exist, you might be able to find them by poking around the interior of the application package, but I don't recommend it. > Somehow I was able to keep the “default” settings in place through various > iterations/builds where other to this thread here have magically had them > change without apparent intervention from one Test Build to another.

Re: [MlMt] white numbers in menu bar counter
So, John since you’re up to date and all… Where are the MM settings for background color and foreground color viewed? Is it a .plist settings file somewhere or how can they be inspected? Somehow I was able to keep the “default” settings in place through various iterations/builds where other to this thread here have magically had them change without apparent intervention from one Test Build to another. Why did it happen? Seems like it must have auto-configured itself or otherwise an Apple OS setting somehow intervened when set outside of MM. Pushing this up to Benny, since I and others have an interest in these “hidden” goodies. Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.
