No, the colors were wrong on Mac for the past ten years, all the way back to when ttk widgets were introduced in c80d7be5e1 ("git-gui: use themed tk widgets with Tk 8.5", 2010-01-26). It is simply not possible to change the background color of a ttk button or label on Mac; c02efc1 doesn't have anything to do with this. -Stefan >> To work around this, simply use non-themed widgets for all labels on Mac.
