In Mohave, native System Preferences->Display tabs has white-text-on-blue-background when windows is focused black-text-on-lightgray-background when window is unfocused In macos11, it is always black-text-on-white-background whether focused/unfocused. Current JDK tabpane always shows black background (when tab is selected) which is not configurable, at least I could not change it. Only thing i could change is the foreground text color. As was told to get color from native, I could see only "selectedTextBackground" and "selectedControlColor" works on both pre-macos11 and macos11 as it gives bluish text color which is legible on black (mohave) and white (macos11) background. All other native-obtained-colors like selectedTextColor, selectedControlTextColor, controlTextColor, textBackgroundColor either gives black or white which is not legible on either pre-macos11 or macos11, so was not used. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1182
