@Decoder Yep, I’d ignore my implementation and look at Perspx’s PXSourceList project on GitHub.

Hi,

It’s a very good post..

One thing to tell you that – when I tried this updated code… it is working properly when row is not selected.. once it is selected it is hiding badge icon and text over it.

Your previous code is working fine in both cases…

Great post, however I have a couple of suggestions:

1. For the highlighted colour value, use `keyboardFocusIndicatorColor` instead of `alternateSelectedControlColor`. If the user has the Graphite appearance set in the User Preferences, the highlighted row background colour will be a dark-grey instead of blue, and the badge text colour will not match.

By using `keyboardFocusIndicatorColor`, it will return a blue colour when the Blue style is set in the user Preferences, and a dark grey when Graphite is set, which will match the row background.

2. If the cell for a row is being edited, the Source List is no longer the window’s first responder, so badge text will not be presented in the dark blue colour even if it is selected. To rectify this you can check -[NSTableView editedRow] to see if the current row is being edited – if it is and it is also selected you can give the badge text the dark blue colour too.
