<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Monaco">>It looks like TK 8.6.10 is paying attention to the system “Dark” appearance setting, when set. This leads to ‘interesting’ results with patches (white borders, mostly), and it’s a real problem with dialogs
such as Audio Settings, which end up being white text on a light gray background.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">>I looked into this again and this should not be happening often. As of a version or two ago, the GUI sets a >defaults key which should disable dark mode for Pd. There is a chance you would see this if starting
Pd on a >new system with Dark Mode enabled as the key needs to be saved by Pd first, then loaded on the next start. >What is you set up to where this is happening? Is it happening constantly, ie. whenever Pd is run?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
