[Audacity-devel] setting text / background colours

[Richard A. <ri...@au...>]

Does the metadata editor (in tags.cpp) work correctly on Mac as regards
foreground and background colours of the text with different themes?

I ask because someone recently complained to feedback@ that it didn't
and that removing the forced setting of the background to wxWHITE
(without any corresponding setting of the text colour) produced
unreadable text when the system theme called for dark text on light
backgrounds.

Since then the offending lines have been commented out in Tags.cpp, but
not removed. If it's working fine, then I think we should remove them
altogether, and if not then we need to find a solution that does work.

There are also a few other places (effects/AutoDuck.cpp being one) where
both the foreground and background text colour are hard-coded. Is there
any reason for doing this, or should they also be cleaned out?
