This is very delayed reply :), but anyway...

A good idea, but incredibly apparently not so simple. :( I subclassed
like so:
- (void)setEnabled:(BOOL)flag
{
[super setEnabled:flag];
if (flag == NO) {
[self setTextColor:[NSColor disabledControlTextColor]];
} else {
[self setTextColor:[NSColor controlTextColor]];
}
}
But when I setEnabled:0, the colour changes, but not to the correct colour!
I've put a very simple sample app here:

This seems too simple for me to be messing up, but I'd be happy to be
proven wrong. :)
Thanks!
