Xcode bug? Changing shadow opacity changes background highlight as well - xcode

I'm running Xcode version 4.4.1 and I've read that there are some issues with changing shadow settings and text highlight color automatically changing with it. I want to change the shadow for a button and I can't seem to do so without the whole button background color changing. This can probably be fixed in the code but I want to be able to do this in the xib. Any ideas how to get around this bug?

It is a bug in Xcode, don't worry. It's been around for a few versions now. Simply change the background color again after setting the shadow color.

Background color of tabbar and alert messages are bright yellow after xcode update

I updated my xcode to 12.3 and it changed the background colors to bright yellow on Navigation Tab bar and alertviews.
I have them set to default colors and that appears to be light grey. The text and images remain black but I noticed that one of the images has gone to full color. Very weird.
Also the background color of the entire simulator, even the App Settings page, has turned bright yellow. I can change colors in the inspector panel (though the text tint does not change, always white) and it changes it on the xib screen but the simulator still shows the bright yellow background with the correct blue if selected and dark gray if not selected images and text.
The change effected every tab bar in the app. When run on actual device, the colors are normal. Translucent is checked. When unchecked the background color appears white.
Anyone give me advice on what to do here?
I ran into the same issue after install xcode 12.3. This is how to fix the issue.
Certain parts of the screen appear yellow in Interface Builder and the simulator.
First do this...
Open your Simulator and go to File > GPU Selection > Prefer Integrated GPU in
Then do this...
Quit Xcode and simulator
Unplug power cable
Restart Xcode and simulator
Check storyboard or simulator to confirm yellow tint is gone
Reconnect in power cable
Worked for me. Good luck
MacOS had an update and after I installed that, the colors reverted to normal.

Hex color code copied from online appears different while using as main storyboard background in swift?

I have tried to use this color from web as my storyboard background
Hex color code copied from online appears different while using as main storyboard background in swift?
00ABCA
when I paste it in xcode, It displays a various shade in same color, and not the one I have seen online. Why there is a difference?
How do I use the color what I see online by using its Hexcode ??
You probably haven't selected the right color profile. To change the color profile, click the settings icon on the color picker screen (where you entered the hex-value):
Now you should get a menu like this:
In order to get the exact same color, make sure that the color profile from the website and XCode match. If the website doesn't explicitly says which one they use, I would try 'generic RGB' (or just try them out until you get what you want).

WebStorm built in terminal colors don't get updated once theme has been changed from black to white

I frequently switch between black and white themes of WebStorm when working in different day/night light conditions. One thing that always annoys me is that I have to manually close terminal in order for it to switch colors.
That's the only part of the interface that doesn't update automatically. Looks like a bug to me.
Is there any way to work around this issue?
Known issue, please follow IDEA-170747 for updates; unfortunately no workarounds exist for this issue - except for re-opening terminal tabs after switching UI theme

How can I change the cursor color in Xcode 8?

I'm using Xcode 8, with the theme midnight whose background is black. This makes it really difficult to distinguish the cursor from the background.I've tried going to preferences of both, my Mac and Xcode, but I cannot change it. I don't want to change the theme. What can I do?
Change the cursor color here? Or would that be considered as changing the theme? Unless you want to actually change your mac's cursor, check out what #Dominik posted.

Button background shown on iOS 5/5.1 instead of my background?

So in my app I am creating, when it is run in the simulator I see the white background images, instead of my transparent background I set. This is with an XIB and not a Storyboard for what it matters.
Examples:
iOS 5.1 and below:
iOS 6 and above:
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
I fixed this problem by instead of using a transparent background png, setting the button type to custom, not rounded-rect. This fixed the problem with white backgrounds being shown.
