I don't think that's what that's referring to.

I have used colorWithAlphaComponent: in this same manner many, many times over the years... just not to set the text color of an NSTextField.

In fact in another class in this same app, I'm doing...

   [[[NSColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.60] set];
   [NSBezierPath strokeRect:rect];

... which works exactly as expected.

The problem is only when trying to use the setTextColor: method of an NSTextField.

this doesn't work:

[myTextField setTextColor:[[NSColor redColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5]];
(result is plain red, ignoring alpha)


Documentation of 'colorWithAlphaComponent' says:
"A subclass with explicit opacity components should override this method to return a color with the specified alpha."
Thus the above code wont return you the expected color.
