<p dir="auto">Pierre, Henry,</p>
<p dir="auto">FYI I opened a ticket for this issue if you want to add comments:<br>
<a href="https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/3147-message-list-text-color-not-inverting-when-selecting-an-item" style="color: #3983C4;">https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/3147-message-list-text-color-not-inverting-when-selecting-an-item</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Benny's response was:<br>
"The message list is going to need a complete rewrite. I'm unlikely to change much until that happens, but I'll add a note on keeping this ticket in mind."</p>
<p dir="auto">Regards<br>

<p dir="auto">Pierre,</p>
<p dir="auto">I agree with you in principle. Specifically, I went to a MacOS selection in OS Settings - Appearance of Graphite as Background and “Multicolor” Accent color settings as a trial with a color palette in MailMate and a permanent “Dark” appearance environment.</p>
<p dir="auto">In particular using the high luminance colors like yellow and even orange give unusual readability between light and dark modes in MacOS. So that’s an issue there.</p>
<p dir="auto">It’s a balance act to get it right as to colors, especially in apps driven from system settings of such variations. For whatever reason, with the above system combo (Graphite BKG+ Multicolor accent) in use, the color difference MailMate even with BLU color email selection the combination of the two seems quite readable, whether selected or unselected. I have no idea what drives the multi-color color selection in MacOS but there is none in MailMate as has been pointed out.</p>
<p dir="auto">Call it a work in progress? A lot more could be done in MailMate but seems it would take some more research to to find a good process for doing it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Respectfully,</p>

<p dir="auto">The only “solution” I’ve found so far is to choose colours that minimize the problem by ensuring a minimum level of contrast with my selection background colour. It’s far from ideal, however, and I would much prefer having a wider range of colour options for my messages, which automatic colour inversion would let me have.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve mentioned this in emails to Benny, but the only response so far has been that he’s still thinking about it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe if enough of us express their support for colour inversion, he’ll bring it back, at least as an option._______________________________________________</p>
