Description
The pane options button (three-dot ellipsis,
iTermHamburgerButton) in the session title bar rendered inconsistently: dark/black when the window was active, gray when the window became inactive.Root cause:
menuButton_had nocontentTintColorset, so macOS fell back tocontrolTextColor, which adapts to window focus state and produces a jarring color shift on every activation/deactivation cycle.Fix: set
menuButton_.contentTintColor = [NSColor secondaryLabelColor]in both branches of-updateTextColorinSessionTitleView.m— the minimal-style path and the standard tab-style path.secondaryLabelColoris a semantic color that resolves to a stable, appropriately muted gray regardless of window focus, matching the visual intent of the button.Screencast
No visual changes captured, but the bug is directly observable: open a session with the title bar visible, note the button color, click away to deactivate the iTerm2 window, then click back — the color flicker is eliminated after this fix.
