Hi, I'm currently fixing the theme manager: https://github.com/mmuman/HaikuThemeManager/ we still have quite a lot of color issues... Best example is AboutSystem left pane. I noticed BStringView checks for the parent color and uses ui_color() as a fallback. I propose we also set the HighColor to ui_color(B_PANEL_TEXT_COLOR), but I'm not sure in which cases. I'd say if (color == ui_color(B_PANEL_BACKGROUND_COLOR)) (either it wasn't set, or the parent's is panel bg). Comments? François.
