Alguien tuvo la amabilidad de escribir un código que solucionaría este problema.
Estoy reenviando el código aquí, para poder simplificar la solución.
//compile with: clang -W -Wall changehighlight.m -framework AppKit
#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>
char cmd[2048];
int main(int argc,char **argv){
if(argc<3){
fprintf(stderr,"changehighlight Listname Colorname\nexample: Apple Orange / Crayons Lime\n");
return 1;
}
@autoreleasepool{
//prepare
int ver=0;
{
int c;
FILE *funame=popen("uname -r","r");
for(;~(c=fgetc(funame))&&c!='.';)ver=ver*10+c-'0';
pclose(funame);
if(ver<12){
printf("It looks like you are using Lion or former. This app is useless and might cause unexpected result. Are you sure to continue? [y/N] ");
c=getchar();
if(c!='y'&&c!='Y')return 1;
}
}
//get color
NSColor *color=nil;
{
NSString *listname=[NSString stringWithCString:argv[1] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *name=[NSString stringWithCString:argv[2] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
for(NSColorList *colorlist in [NSColorList availableColorLists]){
if([[colorlist name] isEqual:listname]){
color=[colorlist colorWithKey:name];
}
}
if(color==nil){
fprintf(stderr,"color name looks invalid\n");
return 1;
}
}
NSData *data=[NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:color];
NSString *desc=[data description];
//do the hack
strcpy(cmd,"defaults write \"");
strcat(cmd,getenv("HOME"));
if(ver==14){
// Yosemite
strcat(cmd,"/Library/Group Containers/com.apple.Preview/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist");
}else if(ver>=11){
