When you have a tab button and you select a tab.

The tab has a dark grey background with the text colour black.

I know the LC interface is emulated and not native but could Runrev not emulate the Mac interface correctly.

A highlighted tab on mac has white text NOT black.

Hi tellboy,

yes, sure, and that also applies to list fields!

But there is light at the horizon, LC version 6.7 will finally use Cocoa on OS X,
which will hopefully remove all these current little inconveniences and the need
of emulating native controls

Will LC from version 6.7 use native Cocoa controls or will they still be emulated?

On reading the stretch goals it is not clear to me what RunRev mean when they say use "Cocoa".

Is there a full definition of what the stretch goal "Cocoa" entails.

e.g.

1. Text Fields
2. Buttons
3. Tables
etc

or just it just mean the event processing?

All the best

Hi Terry,

I don't know, I'm just a user of LC

These little inconveniences, not providing emulated controls that match those in the actual OS, will not be resolved by the Cocoa Port.

Following the Cocoa Port the OSX interface will remain emulated.

Using native controls is not part of the port.

See this thread for more information.

Yep, too bad!

But I just made an enhancement request to get at least WHITE selected text in a list field and TAB buttons:
