## Phil: 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. 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.

You are correct that it does not happen on re-launch. It seems to have just been the first launch that caused it.
Still, this shouldn't happen. I went ahead and added the key to Info.plist should it should *always* be shown in "Light Mode".
Here is an updated build with this small change: Pd-0.51-4-macupdates2.zip http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/0.52/Pd-0.51-4-macupdates2.zip
