Hi, I'm using one ttf font that simulate a bitmap look in my app. However, macOS renders all font with anti-aliasing. On those kind of font, that introduce some artefacts. Is there a way to disable anti-aliasing or some tricks that would make like there were no anti-aliasing? Thanks.

I've already searched extensively on Apple Developer Forums and Stack Overflow, and didn't really find what I need or I missed it. I'm developing a macOS music player app that uses cuesheet files paired with audio files. The core functionality is working, opening and playing files works without issues, but I'm struggling with implementing proper file handling features due to my limited experience with UI frameworks. The current state of my app is intentionally simple: Single window interface representing a music player with track list Opening cuesheet files changes the “disc” and updates the window Built with SwiftUI (not AppKit) Not created as a Document-Based app since the user doesn't need to edit, save, or work with multiple documents simultaneously What I Need to Implement: Open Recent menu that actually works Recent files accessible from Dock menu Opening cuesheet files from Finder Drag-and-drop cuesheet files onto app window (lower priority) Problems I've Encountered: I've tried multiple approaches but never achieved full functionality. The closest I got was an “Open Recent” menu that: Only updated after app relaunch Its drop-down kept closing while music was playing My Questions Is it possible purely in SwiftUI? Is there documentation I'm missing? I feel like I might be overcomplicating this. I'm open to alternative approaches if my current direction isn't ideal: Should I redesign as Document-Based? Since I apparently need NSDocumentController, would it be better to start with a Document-Based app template and disable unwanted features, and how? Should I mix AppKit with SwiftUI? While SwiftUI has been wonderful for my main window, it's becoming frustrating for other UI parts, especially menus. Would using AppKit for menus and keeping SwiftUI for the main interface be a reasonable approach? I thought this would be straightforward: Customize the .fileImporter with the proper logic of what to do with the files Call NSDocumentController.shared.noteNewRecentDocumentURL(url) so the Open Recent menu is created a populated with opened files. Maybe it really is that simple and I've gotten lost down a rabbit hole? UI programming is quite new to me, so I might be missing something obvious. Any guidance, code examples, or pointing me toward the right documentation would be greatly appreciated!

I reposted this issue from my previous post since I have a partial solution to it, and now have a more precise question. The previous post title was too broad. My app is not Document-based, the UI is written with SwiftUI and I had to implement the 'Open Recent' menu myself. The class RecentDiscsModel has a refresh() function that forces the new opened file to be seen in the menu. Without that, the app needed to be restarted to see them. (The files were appearing in the Dock menu, however.) My problem is, that when we open this 'Open Recent' menu, it closes when the UI is updating. My app being a Disc Player, the main and unique window UI is updating every second or more through many @Published properties from my AudioDiscPlayer class. I have no idea how to prevent this issue. @main struct MyApp: App @main struct MyApp: App { @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate @StateObject private var recentDiscsModel = RecentDiscsModel.shared var body: some Scene { Window("Player", id: "main-window") { PlayerView() } .commands { CommandGroup(replacing: .newItem) { } CommandGroup(after: .newItem) { Button("Open...") { NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .openDocumentRequested, object: nil) } .keyboardShortcut("O", modifiers: .command) if recentDiscsModel.recentDocs.isEmpty == false { Menu("Open Recent") { ForEach(NSDocumentController.shared.recentDocumentURLs, id: \.self) { url in Button(url.lastPathComponent) { global.insertDisc(at: url) } } Divider() Button("Clear Menu") { NSDocumentController.shared.clearRecentDocuments(nil) recentDiscsModel.refresh() } } } } PlayBackMenu() } } } class RecentDiscsModel: ObservableObject | The class that handles the live refresh of the 'Open Recent' menu class RecentDiscsModel: ObservableObject { static let shared = RecentDiscsModel() @Published private(set) var recentFiles: [URL] = [] private init() { refresh() } func refresh() { let newDocs = NSDocumentController.shared.recentDocumentURLs if newDocs != recentDocs { recentDocs = newDocs } } } class Globals: ObservableObject | This is the class that handling opening cueSheet file: class Globals: ObservableObject { static let shared = MCGlobals() init() {} @Published var errorMessage = "" @Published var errorDetails = "" @Published var showingErrorAlert = false func handleFileImport(result: Result<URL, Error>) { switch result { case .success(let url): guard url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() else { errorMessage = "Unable to access file" errorDetails = "Permission denied" showingErrorAlert = true return } defer { url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() } insertDisc(at: url) case .failure(let error): errorMessage = "Failed to import file" errorDetails = error.localizedDescription showingErrorAlert = true } } func insertDisc(at url: URL, startPlayback: Bool = false) { do { try AudioDiscPlayer.shared.insertDisc(at: url, startPlayback: startPlayback) NSDocumentController.shared.noteNewRecentDocumentURL(url) } catch { let nsError = error as NSError errorMessage = nsError.localizedDescription let reason = nsError.localizedFailureReason ?? "" let recovery = nsError.localizedRecoverySuggestion ?? "" errorDetails = "\n\n\(reason)\n\n\(recovery)".trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines) showingErrorAlert = true } RecentDiscsModel.shared.refresh() } }

Hi, I have trouble changing the color of the text of Link in SwiftUI. I tried with this code: Link("https://www.mylink.com/", destination: URL(string: "https://www.mylink.com/")!) .foregroundColor(Color.green) and this code: HStack(spacing: 0) { Link("https://www.mylink.com/", destination: URL(string: "https://www.mylink.com/")!) } .foregroundColor(Color.green) The link keeps getting the accent color. EDIT: I want to add that it used to work and I think the issue came with a beta of Xcode 26. I think that was around the beta 4 or beta 5. Is it a change of the APIs or a bug?
