ActivityMonitor editor looks awful on latest macOS

I'm sure this is an accident, but, the activity monitor info editor is awful on macOS 10.15.5 (and possibly others, that's what I have installed) because it's rendered with white text on a light background. Also, as long as I'm wishing for stuff and if this screen is going to be looked at anyway, the mix of serif and non-serif fonts is ugly and not in keeping with macOS design.

    Ah - I kinda thought it'd be a dark mode issue so I switched to light mode and it didn't make any difference - I guess I would have had to restart the app for it to recognise the change, which I didn't. Thanks for the update - good to know that if it's bothering me sufficiently I can work around it, but for now I think I'll stay on the dark side and suffer the white text Slight smile

    This is something we've known about for a long time but has slipped through the cracks. It should affect all parts of the SDK that are implemented in C++ (none of the Java stuff will have this problem) including MonkeyMotion, the HTTP Viewer, Memory Viewer, Activity Monitor, and more..

    This is an issue with wxWidgets and Dark Mode, so if you're looking for a workaround you can temporarily switch back to Light Mode (Apple > System Preferences > General > Light) and things will look normal again... except you won't be using Dark Mode any longer.

    The memory view seems to be afflicted by the same problem - buttons where you can't read the labels. Seems like the whole UI theme needs a review for colour contrast on macOS.
