Is there a way to access data from preferences: User Settings window via script?

Hi,
In my reporter plugin, I’m trying to access the color value of smooth nodes set by the user. I really don’t have an idea of how to do it. Is it even possible?
Best,
R

Everything in the preferences is stored in the systems defaults. There you can access it. I’ll send you the keys and the code to access the color a bit later (not at my Mac right now).

To get an idea, you can open the preferences file in TextMate (I’m not sure how other text editors can handle binary property list files) and look through the used keys.

Or run defaults read com.GeorgSeifert.Glyphs2 in Terminal.app.
