How is the theme-dependent textcolor change for UI elements of the LFO device implemented? After looking at the patch for some time, I cannot seem to find anything that actually changes the colors based on readings from a live.colors object or something similar. I did however notice a little yellow square in the top right corner of every element changing colors in this "magical" way. Are these two things related?

Every live.* UI object automatically changes their color depending on Live theme

unless you change the color from default.

I think little yellow squares indicate that objects are shown in presentation mode.

[edit] Little yellow things indicate the object has annotation (Info View Text).

I have summarized the relation between color and attribute items before.

In Max 8.2.0 (public beta now), you will be able to change colors for every object

by theme-related color names. (dynamic colors feature)

Thanks a lot! I was using Max' standard comment object, not the live.comment one...

It wasn't clear to me that there exsists a live.* version that behaves diffrently.

Even Ableton themselves get that wrong sometimes. There are a few labels in the built-in M4L devices that use standard comment objects and don't display correctly in dark themes.
