Also I just want to say, that Fred set a very democratic price for PB. Thank you for that.
One wish: add more payment methods (may be/such as Western Union money transfers). :oops:

The document tabs that belong to a project are now in a very aggressive blue - can this be disabled somewhere? or at least set the tab's text color to white? (PB 5.72 LTS Beta 1 (x64) macOS)

I've finally started using 5.72 on MacOS and this color change surprised me too :shock:

That's because of me and this pull request. Tabs background follows "Accent color" from system settings, but since it's a totally custom control, it's not 100% similar to native macOS tabs. I'll try to soften it up a bit.

I should say, I don't mind the color

My issue is, the black text on the AccentColor blue is harder to read. Does MacOS provide an "AccentTextColor" or similar to complement the AccentColor background?

If not, maybe the IDE could select Black or White text depending on the brightness of AccentColor?
And in that case, from experience and research, instead of using a straight average of RGB:

Code:

Brightness = (Red + Green + Blue) / 3

It's better to weight the components, because Green appears so much brighter and Blue darkest.

Code:

Brightness = (Red * 0.3 + Green * 0.59 + Blue * 0.11)

Unfortunately, no

I use this to get the list of available colors. Some of them are not available in earlier versions of macOS so they need to be chosen carefully.

macOS actually just uses white color for accented controls, it doesn't even depend on dark mode, i wonder if we can just use selectedMenuItemTextColor which is available on all versions and always (?) defaults to pure white.
