I just upgraded my wxpython to 2.9beta (in order to stop using arch -
i386) on my Mac with OSX Lion, and now the Floatspin ctrls I have in
my app all have a black background.
Any way to change this?

tks

Hi,

Although FloatSpin is one of my children, I have no idea what has
changed in the Mac port to cause this, nor I can find out as I don't
use Mac. It shouldn't be black at all, as it is a composite control of
wx.TextCtrl and wx.SpinButton, and none of those two controls are
natively black... Hopefully there should be some wxPython user with a
Mac and a 2.9 version that may be able to find out what's going on.

Probably part of the difference between Carbon and Cocoa...

We should really fix that one of these days. :wink:

It's the background of the PyControl that is black and it has something to do with the code wrapped by "Philip Semanchuk change" comments. I suspect that we should just not do anything at all there for Mac and leave the background the default color, but I'll do some more experimenting later to be sure.
