Hi Dave.
I know I'm risking torture and rekducation by the Aqua Police, but is
there any non-hackish way to change the colors of window title bars,
menus and popup buttons?
I'm porting a telescope controller of mine over to Cocoa, it's been
going quite well, but when using a computer under such conditions, we
like to keep things on the screen as close to black as we can, so as
not to ruin one's night vision. I can get most of my window good and
dark, but would like to avoid bright Aqua intrusions during use- this
would be for my app only, not system wide.
I have searched the archives and didn't find much...any help or
pointers would be much appreciated.
You should consider not doing this in your UI. You should leave the UI
as is
and instruct your users to turn on "Switch to Black on White" in the
Universal Access preferences pane.
I think there's an application made by Apple which is not using the
usual Window title bars: iSync.
It's the window that warms you that there's a lot of file not
synchronized.
It's possible to create a custom shape window. And there's a sample
code on how to do this on the ADC public Web site.
