CSTrueColors

A collection of Xojo modules for full dynamic handling of system colors on macOS and Windows and easier macOS Mojave Dark Mode support

Current version: 1.1.1

Demo version download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vg-sN8_7mz18zeu9XoRWZaBc8Tm-_Enb

Currently you need to install Joe Ranieri’s ObjC Blocks Plugin for macOS builds. I will try to get rid of that dependency in a later release.

Dynamic System Color support on macOS Mojave with excellent Xojo color translation.

Features and Usage

The package consists of a collection of modules mostly for macOS. Currently they are

Module Name	Features
NSColorAddition	All Mojave system colors as dynamic Xojo color properties and as Pointers to their NSColor representation. Windows System colors mapped to them or as addition where there is no real equivalent. Read that as xplatform support for dynamic system colors (Win + Mac). Color manipulation methods for macOS mainly.
AppKitAddition	Add Pictures and Template Images to Pushbuttons and SegmentedControls, also for alternative states. macOS only.
User32Addition	Similar features like in AppKitAddition for Windows

For usage, simply copy one or all of the modules from the package into your own project. Don’t forget to install the Blocks plugin! You can use the ColorAddition only or the together with the AppKitAddition. If Xojo’s Autocomplete is on your side, the features will be added to your project transparently by extending the Xojo classes.

If you use either AppKit- or User32Addition, you must install the other module too, even if you will not use that platform. Sorry, the module structure made this dependencies necessary.
