Herb,

Restarting the computer solved the background color problem. I also remapped the the function keys and everything is working now. clicking F5 after \cite opens a small window where I can choose my selection.

Thanks.

Also when I type \cite{ on my MacBook Pro and hit F5 it prompts me for increasing screen luminance, it does not open Bibdesk. This must be somethong new in Macbook pros. Is there a way to change this.

To make them act as function keys you hold down the `fn' key at the lower left of the keyboard. You can reverse this behavior by going to System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard and check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.
