Change colors of all controls

Can I programmaticaly to change (to switch between two options) the color of ALL controls by some common command without dealing with property node of each control?
Thank you,
Boris

Pnt,
Thank you. I tried it as in example with decorations: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5217.
But it looks that this option is not available for controls.

Change colors to all components in a consistent way

Is there a way to change color to all components of an application (or of a JFrame), such as all JButtons backgrounds, JFrame backgrounds etc.?
I suppose i've to deal with UIManager defaults, but is there some facility, or some check-list to help achieve this task?.
Thanks in advance

Check out my ComponentMapper class. You could do it with this by running the mapper on the contentpane (and potentially the JMenuBar too if you like)

Can I change color of all objects at ones ?

Hello guys
I understand that's very fundamental question, and I promise I search the forum prior to posting, but perhaps it's my bad english and wrong phrasing, that leads to poor results. So if that has been discuss, please kindly don't waste your time, just link me to the post and I will read away.
I have very complex file, with hundreds of paths, shapes, text, outlined text, etc... It's a brochure with graphs, scematich drawings and text.
Last moment, the client like the reverse the colors from (current) Black on white, to all White on dark gray background.
Problem is, I can't seem to find easy way to just change the colors, without selecting one by one, every single object. When I selest all and choose white, it start filling paths with solid fill... Editing it wastes allot of my time and I have many pages to do.
Is there any way to simple change color of everything at once, just from black to white ? Or do I have to go object by object manually ?
Thank you very much, for all the help so far, and I'm sincerly sorry to waste your time if that has been covered previously.
Good day
ciao ciao
Monika

Thank you both for such prompt follow up. I know it's just typing and it's easy but I sincerly mean it. Thank you.
The INVERT work on some images.
The "SAME" seem to work funny way. When I select STROKE COLOR, it does nothing, but when I select WIGHT then it does and in fact I'm able to change lots of strokes at once with ease. Even tho I'm left with few small bits here and there which I need to change manually, it is certainly far better than doing one by one.
Thanks a lot for the help, it's what I was looking for.
By the way I not once used the SAME menu. Feel so lame, given I use AI (not daily but often) for few years now... Shame.
Thank you and you guys have a great day
xoxo

Change color on a control

Hello Everybody,
I'm new to this and my question is like this:
I want to change the background color on a control between two colors depending
if a value is greater then a set value. In this case the backround should change from white to red
on a RPM meter when the RPM is greater then the RPM limit.
I found out how to set the color using the property for the control but I can't figure out how to change
between the two colors using a comperisson function.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Roger

Here's a screenshot of the code, you should be able to implement it.

Howto change color for all elements

I want to update the formatting for some existing Keynote presentations. Applying a new Theme does most of the work, but there are some things that are not updated to the new theme. For example: background color of certain text boxes -- and the color of actual bullets for bullet points.
In the case of these presentations:
- the background color of the textboxes is blue and I want them all to be transparent
- the color of the bullets is blue and I want them all to be the default color/picture of the particular theme
I realize this is because Keynote is "respecting" textbox formatting changes I have made in the original, but it would be nice if I could over-ride this "respect" somehow. It is easy to select all the text of a Keynote presentation and apply various ways to all the text. Is there a trick for selecting all textboxes (and changing the background color of them) -- or of specifying something to the effect of, "apply the following format to all the bullets in a presentation?

Ok, in that file, you'll find a set of parameters that looks like this.
sfa:r="1" sfa:g="0" sfa:b="0" sfa:a=".5"
Those stand for the red, green, and blue of a color and the last one is the opacity. This particular combination would create a red object with 50 percent opacity. Still looking for which one of these controls the background of a text box.
You know, it looks like if you go through the file searching for sf:fill and deleting that section, then that removes the fill. Once you find the right section, one find and replace would do it for you. It's one of those things that makes me wish I was handy enough with Automator and/or Applescript.

Changing colors of UI Controls

Hello,
I am interested in changing the colors and controls of the LabView Simple Interface example supplied in TS 3.0. I am particularly interested in creating a colored "Start" pushbutton that woudl begin the execution of a loaded sequence (i.e.perform similar function as Entrypoint_2 button on the existing simple UI).
I've already read the Knowledge Base entry titled "Can I Change the Color of my TestStand 3.0 Operator Interface User Interface Controls", which appears to answer my question. HOWEVER, being a LabView newbie, I was wondering if someone could give me a more LabView specific explanation of exactly what I need to do, or better yet, a snippit from a VI on how this is done. (I have been able to make this change, using the above mentioned Knowledge Base entry, to a LabWindows/CVI GUI (I am much more experienced with CVI), however I have not been able to figure this out in LabView.)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanx,
Newbie

Newbie,
I've attached a VI that has a button that has the same functionality of the Simple OI's button that says Single Pass. Basically, you want the event handler, in this case a case structure (although you could register an event on the button click and use an event structure), to handle the button click by loading the correct command and then executing. This VI waits for the Button to have the true value and then executes the Single Pass command. Hope this clears some things up for you on this process. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day.

Changing colors on all slides

I have a presentation with 84 slides. My text is white. I want to change all slides to black text with a white background. What's the quickest way to do this short of manually changing each slide separately?

You should be able to change the slide master(s) to get the appearance you want. In the View menu, select "Show Master Slides". When you click on one of the masters, you can edit it, and any slide that has that as its master will be changed. So, you can change a master's background to white, and change the text on it to black, and all slides using that master will have white backgrounds with black text.
Note that the text on slides will only be changed if that text was typed into the default text box of the slide (in other words, if it used the master's text box). If the text was added as a separate object, you'll have to change that text by hand.

How to change color of canvas?

I made sure the background color swatch in the lower left of the tool box was set to blue. Then I went to Image>Resize>Canvas Size> and changed the sizes. Then I set the Color Extension to the background color blue, and the little box to the right of this showed the blue I wanted.
Then I clicked OK.
The sizes changed properly, but the color won't change colors at all. It stays an ugly putty brown, no matter that I have tried every single way in that color extension box pull-down menu.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Try this:
Set the background color (lower left) to blue
Go to File>new>blank file. Enter width & height in inches for the desired document, resolution 240-300px/in for printing, background contents: background color.
OK

Those navbar links are generated by javascript and are not user editable. You can create your own navbar using a Text Based Navbar and then have complete control over font (stick with the Web Safe Fonts), color, size and rollover colors.
Cyclosaurus has posted an HTML snippet that can change the font style of the navbar of each page that the snippet is applied to. You can find it here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8596966#8596966. This page tells how tol change the navbar test to all caps: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8523772#8523772.
And the following code, again courtesy of Cyclosaurus will change the rollover color of the navbar on any page the snippet is added to:
HTML Widget to change rollover color for this page in the navbar above to orange The code used, courtesy of Cyclosurus, is:
<script type='text/javascript'>
styleCSS = 'div#widget0 li a:hover{color: orange;}'; // change color to your liking;
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){e=function(c){return c.toString(a)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)r[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c);k=[func tion(e){return r[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'e(c)'\\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('1=2.3.5(\'6\');1.4.7=\'8/9\';1.4(\'a\',\'b\');1.c=d;2.3.e(\'f\')[0].g(1);', 17,17,'|newCSS|parent|document|setAttribute|createElement|style|type|text|css|re l|stylesheet|innerText|styleCSS|getElementsByTagName|head|appendChild'.split('|' ),0,{})); </script>
You can see an example of that in this demo page: Misc. Items.

My background color for all pages has changed to pink, how do I get it back to white?

The background color in all of my screens has switched to pink. How do I get it back to white? I wonder if it changed when I was shopping in a web site and had clicked on a pink watch(?)

Check the default color settings:

How do I change the color of all the text in a PDF?

Hi.
I have a large PDF, over 1000 pages. Some of the text is highlighted which makes it difficult to see on my preferred document background. In Acrobat XI how do I change the color of all the text in the document back to black please? Although solutions using any other software will be much appreciated too.
I searched this forum already, and the same question was asked back in 2007 when it appears the only solution was to use an expensive third party plugin.
Thanks.

I know of no new solutions since 2007 except the ones you found.
You could use the Accessibility Preferences > Change Document Colors to choose a text color. However, this is an individual preference and cannot be set as a default for others opening the document.

How to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?

Hi Anybody got idea how to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?
I have tried but could not. When I try to make myself a nest cluster of clusters of LEDs, I can change colours but I can't do the same thing with LCD/VFD controls.
Please check at LCD/VFD controls
Clement

I suspect this repsonse is somewhat mis-leading, the code has no effect on the control other than setting its state, although the route is somewhat tedious for the mod.
I would imagine that the control is set up so that the pixels didn't move around when they are being used as controls.
There are nested groups and locks on the controls, which might make the ordering in the cluster easier to manage.
The following should work....... ;-) it did for me
Open your own new VI
Open the main LCD VI
Open the Browse VI Hierachy
Drag and drop the LCD VI onto your own diagram
Create a cluster from the LCD VI's connector
Now ungroup the clusters and unlock them (this is tedious) if you create your own then you could be more imaginative in the structure, I leave that for homework.
Then import a new bitmap (gif) into the control
Now update the modified contol back into the master control
........ Told you it could be done, but I am not sure the pain was worth it.
BUT
Try the alternative control..... with colour settings as well, ANY colour and even some size control.

Changing the hightlight color for all existing highlighted text

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

Hi
The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

ALL SHAPES LAYERS SUDDENLY CHANGED COLOR WITH SOME ACCIDENTALLY USED KEYBOARD SHORT CUT PLEASE HELP

I was working away in photoshop on an INCREDIBLY important file and suddenly all of my shape layers inverted... there is NOTHING in the history and I have literally tried everything I can think of. this is seriously a crucial issue and i really need this to be fixed. if ANYONE knows anything please help. I'm posting a screenshot of what it looked like and what it looks like now. naturally adobe wont let me call them or do ANYTHING to get immediate help with this absolutely infuriating problem so if someone out there could help that would be great. SERIOUSLY regretting using photoshop, it is so infuriating even after 7 years of using it.
^^ this is what the colors looked like
and VV this is what they look like now. as far as i can tell, its only the shape layers that have changed color. I have tried everything and nothing works.
roughly, all the yellow turned green and all the red and white turned black? I have no idea. please PLEASE someone help me.

The colors are present even when I exported Jpegs from the photoshop file. Gamut warning is off. the difficult thing with screenshots is that the image appears in different colors at different sizes... which is bizzare.. at the full shape, some of the shape layers appear fine as pictured below
and then when i zoom in this happens
