Paul-Riggott's DIY Metadata script -- colors of dialogue box hard to read

I have figured out how to use the Bridge script to bring metadata into a file using this script:

https://github.com/Paul-Riggott/PS-Scripts/blob/master/DIY%20Metadata.jsx

 

but the formatting of the dialog box is such that it is difficult to read. The background is white and the type is light gray. Where do I tweak the code to adjust this?

 

Mac OSX Bridge 2023

Thanks

Correct answer gregreser

If you are okay with the default grey background, add two forward slashes( // ) in front of this line to disable the color.

win.graphics.backgroundColor = win.graphics.newBrush(win.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [1.00, 1.00, 1.00, 1]);

You can try commenting out // or deleting the var myBrush line:

 

// var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.99, 0.99, 0.99, 1]);

 

Or changing the values:

 

var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1]);

 

However, my current preferred method is:

 

var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.THEME_COLOR, "appDialogBackground");

 

Have fun!
