Hi

Nope.  Removing the file does not help.

marcoxa$ rm ~/Library/Colors/Emacs.clr
marcoxa$ emacs &
[1] 33269
Bougaza:magiciel marcoxa$ 2024-05-09 11:22:44.978
Emacs-x86_64-10_14[33269:5028483] Failed to initialize color list
unarchiver: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "***
-[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]:
non-keyed archive cannot be decoded by NSKeyedUnarchiver"
UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver
_initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: non-keyed archive
cannot be decoded by NSKeyedUnarchiver}

The file gets regenerated, but so does the error.

All the best

MA
