Creating a label using NSTextField is blurry

Question

I\'m trying to create a label programmatically using NSTextField, but it comes out blurry: screenshot

This is my code so far:

NSTextfield *textfield          


        

Answer 1

If you have no background (including clear) and your text is a subview of any layer-backed superview (you've turned on "wants layer" in code or in IB to allow animations/transitions), you'll get blurry text. You have to choose either no layer backed view or a label with a solid background color.

Answer 2

Try this below:

textField.drawsBackground = true
textField.backgroundColor = NSColor.white.withAlphaComponent(.leastNormalMagnitude)
