How do I change the PS desktop background to a .JPG or other suitable file format of my choosing?

Greetings,
I asked this question a couple months ago and never really received a satisfactory answer. Maybe Adobe holds these secrets close to the vest.
What I would like to accomplish is changing my PS desktop background so that every time I open PS it has a background that I have chosen. (Yes I know you can change the black and grey in the preferences panel) What I want is not necessarily in the preferences panel, unless I'm missing something altogether.
Now here I'm adding a screenshot of a fairly well known PS user CB (who is especially good at 3D) who has his background basically the way I would like mine. If anyone can tell me how to accomplish this thank you!
Sincerely,
Jim
What I'm looking for is something similar to the dark blue background. I have a JPG file similar to this that I would like to use. Now I was able to change the splash opening screen in Lightroom, so I imagine the fix is something similar.

Thanks,
That did work and it's the same as the frame in the sample I provided. Unfortunately not what I wanted. I guess I need to be much more specific. I would like to change the background to look similar to what that sample is, AND be able to have PS as an application that's on top of my desktop and not take up the entire desktop. (which is what happens if I break out the application frame) Probably not something that is doable. I was hoping that similar to changing the Lightroom Splash screen I could change the PS desktop background to something of my choosing other than black or shades of gray. Oh and I am on an iMac.
Thank you again Warunicorn for you help.

Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations? what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well. I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.

Barry

How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
You should provide feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

How do you configure the iMac so separate users can access each other's files, especially iPhoto and iTunes? I need to be able to transfer media between two users and not just gain limited access using 'share'.

How Do I Change The Logon Screen Background?

Hi...
I was wondering how to go about changing the logon screen background... You know... The screen background you see when you first boot the Mac and it's sitting at the logon window waiting to be logged on?
Thanks in advance!!

You can do this with OnyX: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
The image you want to use has to be in one of a few locations:
This button allows you to choose a replacement image for the background of the Login Window. By default, the application directs you to the folder containing the Desktop Pictures of Mac OS X (/Library/Desktop Pictures/...). You can choose another image but it must be accessible by all users, for example in the Public, Shared or Sites folder.
Formats accepted: PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, GIF, PSD, TIFF, TGA, BMP.
It's in the Parameters > Login tab.

How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive. The data is initially stored in the following locations:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

How do you change the login screen background?

I have been looking everywhere in the setting on how to change the background on the login screen and i can't find it, does anyone know how to do it without having to download an app?

Make sure you check your operating system first, because there are a few ways to do this.
This is for Mac OS X 10.7.5
First find out what your screen size is by going into System Preferences and clicking on display. Mine is at 1920x12000, but you might want to go with a picture thats a little bit bigger.
Find your picture, I edited mine in photoshop, but I think you can edited in Preview or some other photo converter. Make sure the picture is the same size as the display, convert it to a PNG by exporting it or saving it to a PNG format on to your desktop.
Go to your Macintosh Hardrive
Go to: System / Library / PrivateFrameworks / LoginUIKit.framework / Versions/A/Frameworks / Log inUICore.framework / Versions / A / Resources / appleLinen.png / [email protected]
Make sure your photo file has the same name as appleLinen.png. Replace appleLinen.png with the new picture by droping it in the resources folder.
Make a copy of that same picture and paste it on to your desktop. Rename it to [email protected]. Then replace [email protected] with that picture file.
This should allow you to place a new background to your login screen, but I myself am still working out the kinks. You will notice your sleep, restart, and shutdown buttons will disappear.
Now if you have a much older operating system on your computer there is an easier way to do this.

Make sure your photo file has the same name as NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png. Replace NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroungColor.png with the new picture by droping it in the resources folder.
That's it for that!!!
Good Luck, I hope I can find the answere about why the sleep, restart and shutdown buttons disappear on the screen.
Oh... and don't forget to save the exsisting files that are already there in another folder and lable it.

How does one change the login screen background

I have changed my desktop background picture few weeks ago with a picture I took. recently I have changed it again to one of the default pictures in OS Yosemite.
The problem is many times when I login to my computer, it shows the old picture I had instead of the one I currently set. I delete the old picture completely (from my hard drive and trash folder).
I will appreciate any help!
Thanks

I checked the hard drive and could not find the picture. However, it is still appear on the login screen :\

How Do You Change the Remote Desktop Listening Port in Win 8.1 Pro

I am trying to setup two Win 8.1 Pro computers for Remote Desktop access on my local network. I can get Remote Desktop working fine on both when they are using the default RD port 3389. I am unable to change the listening port on one of the computers so
that I can access either via a public Internet connection. I change the listening port in the Registry, reboot the computer and verify that the port number has been changed BUT the computer still responds to the old port 3389 and can't connect via the new
port number. I added a Firewall rule for the new port, but that did NOT solve the problem.
I have followed the procedure below and verified in the Registry that the port is changed but the Remote Desktop remains accessible only on the default port 3389. The new port number in the Registry is 39699. I used a network scanner and it shows the computer
is still listening on port 3389 for Remote Desktop connections. Why is Win 8.1 Pro ignoring the new port number in the Registry and still responding on 3389? Is there another place in Win 8.1 Pro that the port also needs to be changed. I also added a new rule
in the Firewall to allow incoming requests on port 39699? This is a very frustrating problem, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I followed the procedure shown below.
Hi ,
Based on my test, we can change the listening port for Remote Desktop.
To change the port that Remote Desktop listens on, follow these steps.
1.Start Registry Editor.
2.Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
3.On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
4.Type the new port number, and then click OK.
5.Quit Registry Editor.
6.Restart the computer.
Meanwhile, please note, please type the new integer port number between 1025 and 65535 in the PortNumber text box.
And make sure the new port number is not in use by other application.
We may use the command below to check the result.
netstat -a
Also, we can use Network Monitor to trace the port.
Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4
Regards,

Hi,
There are two item that should be modified to change the default 3389 port:
One is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\Tds\tcp]. Modify the PortNamber to the one you want.
The other is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro1Set\Control\Tenninal Server\WinStations\RDP\Tcp]. Modify the PortNumber to the one you want.
In your case, you missed the first one.

How do I change the preview mode background from black to white?

I am sure it is really simple but the solution seems to be totally eluding me.....

Can't find it in the Preferences? It should be under "Guides and Pasteboard", aptly called "Preview Background":
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-714ba.h tml
Changing it only affects the current active document. If it's "doing it" for any new documents, then something caused it to be a global setting. Close all of your documents, then change the setting.

How can I change the width of a field without affecting all others ?

I'm working with Text fields that have, for example Name, address, etc. on the left & the box to its right.
I'm further down the form & want to allow for a longer field description but then it changes all the formatting above.

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

How Can I change the Directory and Name of Coded UI Test Result html file

I'm Using Visual Studio 2013
Now I can find the Coded UI test result html file insde the following path
TestProjectFolder\TestResults\2015_01_22_05_59\In\anotherfolder\MyMachineName\UiTestActionLog.html
VS2013 enables editing the name structure of this folder only (2015_01_22_05_59). and it should contains a static name+DateTime (Using the Project TestSettings).
I need to (Programatically)
Collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name (Change the path of the test result file)
Put the testcase name on the result file name (for example : TC13505_ValidateScreenComponents_2015_01_22_05_59)
If possible,Programatically attach the html result file to the test case attachements
More Details:
I need to set a custom valus for (ResultsDirectory -
TestLogsDir -TestResultsDirectory
- TestName) on the runtime.
please if any onw know how to do the previous tasks
by code, please share your knowledge.
Regards, Ahmed Elgazar Skype:A7medelgazar

Hi AhmedElgazar,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
As you said that you want to collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name by programmatically way to change the path of test result file in coded UI test.
As far as I know that when we run a coded UI test every time, it is default that there will create a new folder to save the new UITestActionLog.html.
So we could not change the path of test result file and collect all test result html files on one folder in VS IDE.
At present, there have no way to collect all test result html files on one folder and change the test result file path.
In addition, I know that we can change the TestResults folder using mstest.exe in command line.

How do you CHANGE the location (away from Drive C) where Firefox stores temporary files?

I know where Firefox stores temporary files. I want to CHANGE this location away from Drive C to decrease writes to an SSD. Thank you.

Thank you.
This function may be one of the few things that IE does better than Firefox. IE lets you change the temporary file location in Tools - Internet options - Settings. Firefox developers should make this task easier and put the instructions in the Help file where they can be easily found.
Since I use an SSD for Drive C, I have learned that any file(s) that are frequently written to should be moved elsewhere to a conventional HDD.
