Automatic Background Color #9

Closed skreutzberger closed 8 years ago

skreutzberger commented 8 years ago

Hi, can you auto-detect the Xcode background color and if it is dark then maybe use a bright font color and if it bright then use blue font?

Or maybe even much simpler: Can you use the currently used console font but just make the link underlined? I think that should be enough to make the link stand out and visible. Because if you add a background color and text color then it really looks messy for users with custom themes.

For example, here is my Xcode console:

I have dark theme, that's why I added the background white color, because to be able to change color of a link would require to change it on the whole console NSTextView as far as I'm aware

Can you detect the standard foreground and background color of "normal" text and then just set the link in that color?

I am not an Objective-C expert (even not a beginner ...) but maybe these links could help you? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17262251/nstextview-custom-link-color-for-range http://shapeof.com/archives/2010/12/customizing_links_in_an_nstextview.html http://jaanus.com/how-to-easily-present-strings-with-bold-text-and-links-in-cocoa/

Or is that color an Xcode theme setting somewhere? I can’t find it :(

@skreutzberger just update to new version, it will keep your theme styling now, and thanks for asking about it :+1: looks better
