let gradientNumber = Int.random(in: 0..gradients.count) let selectedGradient = gradients[gradientNumber] selectedGradient?.size = .init(width: screenWidth, height: screenHeight) label.textColor = NSColor (patternImage: selectedGradient!) view.setNeedsDisplay(viewSize) This is the code that applies the text colour, .tile wouldn't work properly because it's a gradient not a flat colour. cheers.

Hello, Thanks for your response. Im using SwiftUI and I have called that function with the below line of code.    view.setNeedsDisplay(viewSize) where viewSize is a NSRect. I think maybe it has something to do with the text colour as I am using a 'patterImage'. Maybe it's possible that the old patternImage is remaining in memory in some instances however im not sure how I can isolate that. It happens maybe one in 50 times the text is changed.

Deepa Pai your a genius.
