I also downgraded Safari as was suggested in another thread, but the black text boxes are still there.

are you sure you downgraded safari? if you click on the Safari menu then choose 'About Safari', what does it say for the version #? i'm assuming 5.1.7 still.

you can't just grab an old installer and run it normally and expect it to downgrade.. you'll have to use another app called Pacifist to open the .dmg then choose 'replace' at the prompts when installing..
(better pacifist instructions are out there.. on my way to catch a plane at the moment so i can't be entirely helpful)

Aah, you're quite right. It hadn't downgraded successfully. I missed the requirement to force it using Pacifist. Done now, downgraded, and all looks good so far. Thanks so much for the tip.

Hi Troy,

Here is a temporary solution provided: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=406417#p406417

Thanks Gaieus. I'd seen that fix editing the stylesheets, and while it does work on some dialogs, it doesn't on others. I also downgraded Safari as was suggested in another thread, but the black text boxes are still there. I'm managing by highlighting the text that's in them and can read it if I do that, but it is a little bit of a ghetto solution.

This plugin looks exactly like something I'm after. I downloaded the 1.6 version from post #1 in this thread, but it only seems to have a very simple crosshatch available and the dialog isn't as well developed as some screenshots I'm seeing in some followup posts. I skimmed through the pages, but did I miss where an updated version with those concrete hatches etc is available?

I'm having the same issue and wondered about the solution. Keen to hear if anyone has one.
