Trouble with appearance preferences of System Events


  • Subject: Trouble with appearance preferences of System Events

Hello,

I'm total confused by the error message generated by this simple code:

Error: "Can't set automatic of appearance preferences to automatic of appearance preferences"

tell application "System Events"
	tell appearance preferences
		set font smoothing style to automatic
	end tell
end tell

If I "get font smoothing style" and look at it, it's a constant "automatic", so I'm not sure why it doesn't work to set it to the constant automatic.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Steve
