How to cater for Dark Mode when printing an AppKit view, and how to add a command to export a document in PDF format. Swift 5.0.
appearance
This Rich Text editor now opens and saves RTF, plain text, HTML, and PDF, in which it preserves as much text styling as possible.
Does Mojave blend the colours you set in Accents and Highlights to create a third colour, or is the appearance of a third colour just a bug?
Grey, non-grey, grey – and the General pane has already lost track of the Accent colour. Another sloppy bug.
It could and should have been so easy, but just try printing when in Dark Mode. Many apps make a pig’s ear of it – and it’s not their fault.
Version 1.1 supports three file formats, but working with HTML is not easy, as it cannot (yet) support bimodal text.
Currently, many major apps keep all the active editing view in Light Mode, irrespective of whether the rest of macOS is in Dark Mode. Is that the best option?
A proposal for ensuring consistent display of Rich Text across apps and tools in macOS, and elsewhere.
Mojave’s handling of Rich Text in Dark Mode is now broken in several places, including the new version of TextEdit, in QuickLook, and Pages.
Not mentioned in the release notes, the new version of TextEdit is a bold attempt to provide a Dark Mode which is infuriating, confusing, and inconsistent. Avoid it.
