Black background in the software - can't read text
« on: September 20, 2018, 11:58:36 AM »
Anyone know why I might be seeing a back background in the left column here, where I have "Matrix-17" highlighted? All of my props and prop groupings are in that column, but you can't read black text on a black background. But I can highlight the columns and then read the text.

I'm running the latest version of the software on a MacBook Air.

This is something that has started with my move to the newer Xcode and some updates to wxWidgets.  Haven't figured out what's going on yet. Might be a compiler bug, wxWidgets bug, don't know.    When running on Mojave, the issue doesn't appear and it properly flips back and forth between light/dark mode.   On older OSX, it SOMETIMES (not always) gets the black color. 

You can go to Settings->Color Manager and set a different color for those.   That said, once you do that, when Mojave is released and you update, it will stay at that color instead of flip to the dynamic color.
