Summary:
Dear AppKitterinos,

Due to 42623717 (NSTableHeaderView draws incorrectly when taller than standard), I have a subclass of NSTableHeaderCell that draws the background and borders to work around the bug. However, the precise colors used for these details aren’t available as named, NSAppearance-compliant NSColors, so it’s difficult to precisely reproduce the standard header appearance (especially in a way that works in both light and dark modes).

Please add NSColor class properties that expose the colors of the table header borders and column separators.

Thanks,
Rob

Apple Developer Relations Aug 8 There are no plans to address this based on the following:

We don't plan on exposing these colors. the correct fix is just to support custom height headers.

We are now closing this report.

If you have questions about the resolution, or if this is still a critical issue for you, then please update your bug report with that information.
