Big Sur issues

[Colin Holgate]

In related news, I have an ARM64 Mac mini, and LC seems to be running ok.

With the Tab Panel issue, did you notice that as you dragged it into place you could see the first tab’s text? That suggests that the highlighter for the tab has transparency issues, not that text is missing.

WindowShape does work, but there is a card size backdrop. Also, while LiveCard is open all of your desktop is obscured by a backdrop as well.

I did tinker with it a bit and found that if I set the backgroundColor of the button to something dark the text shows up, so the issue is the change in appearance to the active tab being white - so the default white text  is there, just not visible against a white background.

When these are built there are invisible buttons created over the top of the Segmented Control Widget tabs. (The only reason I did this is so I could drag over a button and it would hilite, and also because I could create a behavior that is applied to ALL the buttons, so I only have one place to go to edit the code for them.)
