That's a great thought, but actually it's just a plain-old, IB-created
NSTextField.

this doesn't work:

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.
Actually, colorWithAlphaComponent: will indeed return the expected
color. I've use that API on many occasions and just created a test
app with two NSTextField instances. They use alpha of 0.5 and 0.25
respectively. The text was rendered correctly even when the text was
being edited (i.e. the field editor also did the right thing).
I ran my test on 10.5.1
I believe the problem may be within the cells/views hierarchy. If
things are marked as being opaque, alpha can be ignored. Is a custom
subclass of NSTextField being used?
