Acrobat DC - window background color

I've just installed DC and the new interface looks great, but I would like to be able to change the window background colour from white without having to go to fullscreen mode. It's grey in other versions of Acrobat.
At the moment, it's very hard to see what the page size is when it's a white page on a white background.

Hi, I just updated some Adobe Creative Cloud Apps today and without realising it I've installed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and this has uninstalled the old Acrobat Pro. Suddenly I have a new interface with an extremely light grey background, as mentioned here, which makes it very hard to distinguish my document. Reading this thread it appears I'm not the only one disappointed with this. I find it hard to believe Adobe did this in the first place but I'm even more upset that it's now over a month since these posts above and still there's no option to change the background colour! Please correct this soon!

    Hi,
    When system is in a sleep mode or hibernate mode, it will save the data ans settings in memory or hard disk, so I suggest you run a memory check and a harddisk check and see if it can detect any errors.
    Memory check (instruction is similiar to windows 8\8.1, type "memory" in the search charm bar)

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 background color

    Is there any way to change the background color in the document display window of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0? It is very hard to read the documents against the default black background. I have been able to change the background color on the full screen display, but not the default display. This was not a problem in my older version of Acrobat.

    Sound like you must be getting to my age - with black background problems. I don't know how we used to survive with that as the default in DOS!
    Anyway, you can check the background issues. What I have done in the past is to use the object touchup tool. I simply select the page out at the border that picks up the background and move it to check. If I got it right I simply delete the selection. Worth a try anyway. If you have a lot of pages it will be a pain.

  • Window Background Colors

    I found an earlier post, but couldn't reply, so here goes...
    When I select a background color for a view window in finder, it changes to a completely different (and often much uglier) color when I re-open Finder. I tried deleting the launch services cache files, but that didn't help at all.

    The earlier post from Feb 2006 is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3346400&#3346400
    and describes the issue perfectly.
    We had just tried deleting all .DS_Store files using Cocktail and deleting all finder .plist files but the problem returns as soon as you change a windows color.
    Here's my post on the issue to another venue:
    My wife's new MacBook Pro Core2Duo has begun playing with her an not in a good way.
    On her previous G4 PowerBook she had set the colors of several of her Finder windows to be various pastel shades so they were easily distinguishable at a glance.
    She did the same on her new MacBook Pro, but after she closed any of these windows the next time they were opened they were assorted eye-tearing shades of green, violet and magenta. She would reset each one to a pastel shade and the next time she opened it they were yet some different blazing color. She has given up and has set all to the default white.
    I'm glad she had not set the backgrounds to be muted pictures of puppies and kittens - they would probably have re-opened as autopsy and roadkill photos.
    She has had this machine for less than a week. It has all the Apple updates. Disk was verified as fine in Disk Utility and AppleJack cleaned its caches, checked prefs, re-prebinded (?) and repaired permissions but she still had these inconstant folders.
    Seems unlikely to me that the .DS_Store file in every single folder she opens would get instantly corrupted.

  • Window Background color in Camera Raw 6.0

    I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64 and CS5.  Everything seemed normal the first couple days, but when I opened Camera Raw today, the background color of the window is an off-pink.  The image is fine, but the surrounding background color has changed from the traditional white.  Also, the color around the image previews on the left side is pink-ish as well as the background of the graph on the right.
    This is extremely distracting, does anyone know how to change it back?

    It will be in 6.1, not 6.0.
    See, for example, here:

  • Changing monitor window background colors?

    I've recently switched to Premiere Pro CS4 from Premiere 6.5.  I animate a lot of still images.  When rotating them or reducing their size, the default black background color in the monitor window is sometimes revealed.  How do I sample a color from the still image and change the monitor window's background color to match it?

    It would seem odd that such a basic and useful function would be deleted from the program.  After Effects still has this function, so why wouldn't the new Premiere?
    Unfortunately, I doubt that anyone here can answer that question for you, as we're all just users.
    I would strongly suggest that you file a Feature Request for that to be reinstated in the next version.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Flash CS3 debugger window background color

    Is there any way to get Flash CS3 to use the same background
    color from your actionscript settings in the debugger? It's always
    light gray--I like to use a black background for my actionscript,
    but now I'm probably going to have to change to gray since it
    appears the debugger ALWAYS uses a gray background regardless of
    your settings? (My text is white and I can't see it against the
    debugger background)
    Is there any way to change this?

    if you're wanting to look at the contents of variables,
    unlike the AS2 debugger, the movie needs to be paused, for example
    at a breakpoint. Once the movie's paused variables will appear in
    the 'Variables' window.

  • HT201726 How to set again your windows background color

    I  used to have a pleasant blue color as a background for my files, documents, applications, but when I looked for a file and clicked on the screen the color was gone becoming a white background.
    I used to see the view options but now it has the point on one selection and cannot click on the color to change it back again. Any solutions and/or suggestions on how to do it? Thank U.

    I';ll try to make it as clear as I can to cover all bases. I set before the blue color I wanted, it changed once I update the OS System to Maverick.
    When I open the finder window on the left column appears 8 (eight) icons, another one for shared plus other for tags.
    All the first 8 used to have the blue color set. Now only iCloud, Desktop, and Ilabra (home). All my files, documents and applications the background used to be blue they turned White..
    ON the three options of White, Color or Picture, The selection appears on White and the other two are shaded. Before the View had the three option when I applied the blue color. Now I can not, and I do not know why this occurred.
    I hope I have been clear with the explanation. Any more suggestions? I will certainly appreciate them and your time and patience.

  • An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

    I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
    I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
    I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
    here is what I have so far:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
    set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
    end tell
    end tell
    so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
    thanks in advance for any and all help with this

    According to this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
    it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
    Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
    On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
    open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

  • Change NativeWindow background color

    Hi, I'm developing ad Air application with Flash. This
    application creates other windows and plays video in fullscreen
    mode. Created windows have white background so in fullscreen mode i
    have white strips :-(
    Do you know if is possible to change native window background
    color?
    I can't create a transparent window because I load PDF
    documents with an HTMLLoader object in the same window.
    Thanks
    Francesca
    Sorry for my terrible english :-/

    I'm creating windows with NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE crome
    and transparent = false and I'm obtaining windows with white
    background.
    Do you mean to create a transparent window and a sprite to
    add to the stage to use it as "stage background"?
    I can't because I must set transparent value to false bacause
    I have to load a pdf into an htmlLoader.
    Entering in Fullscreen mode with
    FLVPlayback.enterFullScreenDisplayState I have the correct black
    background but I must set FLVPlayback.fullscreenTakeOver to false,
    set stage.fullScreenRect and change stage.displayState because I
    have to show some buttons over video player in fullscreen mode.
    Sorry for my terrible english

  • Convert  background colors to PDF from Word 03

    When I convert a Word document to Acrobat PDF the background color disappears.  What do I do?

    It may depend on how you are converting. If you are printing, be sure that WORD is set to print the background colors. Printing background colors is often turned off to prevent using up the toner in a regular printer.

  • Is it possible to change the CS4 background color?

    I am doing a job which requires lots of screengrabs of images and settings against the usual dark gray CS4 background. The problem is that the guidelines you adjust to form a rectangle round the image you're grabbing are dark grayish too and it's difficult to see it against the gray background. Is there any way to temporarily change the dark gray CS4 window background color? I'm running under Vista and changing the window and application background colors in Vista makes no difference to the background color in CS4 which sticks at dark gray.
    Thanks.
    David

    Thanks.
    Geoff - Changing the color in Full Screen with Menus has no effect. The dark gray is still there after a close CS4 and open.
    Thanks for the alternative approach. The Faststone screengrab process is quicker. It's just a nuisance you can't change the color or thickness of the grabbing lines.
    Rob - which background? When I right click on the CS4 background - the working area with nothing in it - I get no context menu. I get nothing in fact.
    I am surprised that the Prefernces/Interface changes don't work but they don't seem to.
    I have done abou 160 screen grabs and probably have another 3-400 to do.

  • JScrollBar track not taking Windows system color

    When a Scroll Bar appears in a JScrollPane, the track color of the Scrollbar does not always take the Windows system track color when the windows background color is changed. Try setting the Scheme in Control Panel to 'Rose'. When Scheme setting changed to 'Spruce' it just works fine.
    Note: Thumb color gets changed appropriately in all cases.

    What's that all about?
    Maybe best to restore the hard disk in that new computer to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide.
