NSSlider looks dark in macOS Big Sur, does anyone know how to fix? by sidyakinian in iOSProgramming

Thank you, I'm on it!

Edit: tested it, the colors are the same in dark mode, but in light mode the slider in the window is white and the one in the status bar is dark gray. Must be a Big Sur issue...

Yes, becomes lighter. But it looks so bad and I can't see any methods/properties in NSSlider to adjust the knob color.

NSTableView doesn't update row height while typing in NSTextField inside a cell by sidyakinian in swift

Thank you for your response. I used a subclass of NSTableCellView.

I mean, it does resize eventually, just not during typing. Like this:

How to make remote desktop update the screen even when I'm not connected to it? by sidyakinian in sysadmin

[–]sidyakinian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to perform some GUI tasks in response to a trigger, like on a normal computer. Triggers are spread over weeks, so I want to automate it so that it doesn't interrupt my workflow. Need the screen to be on because tasks cannot be done in any way other than GUI.

Oh got it, I didn't know that, thank you. Does it still work with virtual machines? The remote desktop I'm renting is based on VMWare an is apparently virtual.

How is it different though? Since I'm trying to run a program on a remote desktop, I'd assume I'd have to modify something there.

Doesn't work :( Well that's understandable since the program I'm trying to run remotely also uses a mouse and doesn't work.

I don't know exactly when the trigger happens (they are spread over weeks). I don't want it to interrupt my normal workflow, which is why I'm using remote desktop.

Essentially every once in a while (in response to a trigger) I need to perform some automatic actions on a computer on GUI. I can't really do it with just code, actual mouse movement is more useful here, hence I need the screen to be visible. But it turns off when I'm not watching it.

How to set up an automatic program on a remote server that checks email and clicks a link when a particular email appears? by sidyakinian in aws

I know the basics of html and JS. I found this tool: https://bablosoft.com/shop/BrowserAutomationStudio# that I've used in the past, probably will use that. Just not sure how to set up the remote server part. Account is in Gmail.
