The recommended way to override the text color in an NSTableView NSTextFieldCell is detailed here:

However, there seems to be a problem setting the text color of a highlighted NSTextFieldCell when NSTableView - selectionHighlightStyle is set to NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleSourceList.

The following delegate method produces uneven text coloration of highlighted text cells.

The issue does not arise for non source list style NSTableViews.

/*

tableview will display cell

*/
- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id) aCell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(NSInteger) rowIndex
{
// note that when the NSTableView Highlight mode is set to source list
// setting the text color of NSTextFieldCell seems to misbehave.
if ([aCell isKindOfClass:[NSTextFieldCell class]]) {
if ([aCell isHighlighted]) {
[aCell setTextColor: [NSColor lightGrayColor]];
} else {
[aCell setTextColor: [NSColor darkGrayColor]];
}
}
}


Has anyone else encountered this?

Work around solution is probably to use NSAttributedString.

That is the only solution at the time. Could you log a bug for this? NSTableView attempts to apply "standard attributes" for the highlighted cell, if plain text is given to the cell via the datasource.
