Migrating Homesite Settings like Color Scheme

Hi,
I've just setup a new development machine and wish to migrate
my homesite settings over. I've spent a lot of time on editing
color coding, editor settings, RDS servers etc. Is there an easy
way to do this?
I tried overwriting my homesite installation on the new
machine with my old folder but that didn't work.

Found it!
You can back up your color coding schemes or save them to
transfer the settings to another computer. All color coding
customizations are stored in the registry. Found here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allaire\HomeSite45\CustomParserSettings
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\HomeSite5\CustomParserSettings
... or in similar keys for other versions of the software...
Just export this key.
Here is how you do that:
1. Start | Run | type in "regedit"
2. Browse to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\HomeSite5\CustomParserSettings
3. Select the CustomParserSettings folder
4. Then select from the top menu bar Registry | Export
Registry Key
5. Name it and save it to a place you will remember
(DeskTop) as a .reg file.
6. If you are copying these settings to a different
computer, then copy that file over to that computer.
7. Install HomeSite if it was not already installed.
8. After installation, double click on the reg file, it will
automatically update your registry and restore your color coloring
customizations.
Note: this is not saving custom parsers you might have added,
just the color selections that you might have chosen to use for
particular coloring schemes.

Where can I find old prefs like color labels

After installing a new OS on a new HD after a HD crash, I would like to copy old prefs and settings like color labels, mailboxes and messages, maybe the dock (to see which software was installed on the old HD). I have a back-up of the old system.

If you were having no problem with prefs on your old system, you could just replace ~/Library/Preferences from your backup. You can do the same with other folders.
Here's a list of where your important data is stored ("~" stands for "Home"):
Your data in ~/Documents
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iCal(copy the whole folder)
Also in ~/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
~ /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/Safari (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
~/Pictures/iPhoto library
~/Music/iTunes
~/Movies/iMovie
If you want cookies:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Webfoundation/HTTPcookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in Documents/Microsoft user data
Also in ~ /Library/Preferences/Microsoft
internet explorer favorites are in ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/favorites.html

Light Terminal Color-Scheme?

I've been using a dark zenburn-like color-scheme for ages, but now, it looks a bit disintegrated with my light gtk/wm-theme.
I didn't see anyone using a bright terminal/vim color-scheme.
Is someone using a brighter color-scheme and can someone recommend me one? There is a huge colorscheme-test page for vim color-schemes but there isn't something for terminal schemes.

For sure. It's my first experiment of "colors by combination". It is not perfect but more of "the first breed of an exploration".
!lightmonad: 3C3 = 6 combinations
*background: #fcffdd
*foreground: #5e5e58

*color0: #666666
*color1: #ba3e73

Windows 7 Boot Camp Color Scheme Issues

Hi. I just recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Boot Camp, and the first thing I noticed was the poor resolution that was stuck to 1600x1200 pixels. The Display Adapter used is listed as "Generic Non-PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." ortunately, I got this sorted out by choosing "Advanced Settings => List All Modes", and then selecting "2560 by 1440, High Color (16 bit), Default Refresh". Here's where the problem comes in - it's in 16 bit, obviously, and there's no other higher color schemes for me to choose from in the "List All Modes" menu that's 2560x1440 pixels. The only other mode of this resolution is "2560 by 1440, 256 Colors, Default Refresh".
What should I do? Could someone please guide me through the process step-by-step, as the Apple support team was of no help, since they aren't 'familiar' with Windows procedures, despite "Boot Camp" being a Mac-related hardware. And I'm no technical expert, either, so tossing me terms like "update to the X&Y" driver is probably going to confuse me, so please try and explain that to me, thank you.
Thanks for your patience and please get back to me soon.

It appears that you did not follow the step in Bootcamp Assistant where you were to download the Windows Support software. You then had to install the Support software from within Windows. Did you do that step? The display drivers are part of the Support software.

Color Scheme Problems in Ultiboard

Hi, I've been having trouble with the color scheme problems in Ultiboard ever since I upgraded form 10.0 to 10.1. The color schemes will not save in Ultiboard 10.1, even with the new patch 10.1.0.1, this problem is persistant.
Here's the problem in detail:
In global Preferences, I click on "Colors", and then New Scheme, give it a name, and I define my colors. However, when I open a new file, the colors are reverted to the default. When I check the preferences again, the name that I have given to my color scheme is labeled as "User settings", and they are the same as the default colors.
This is really annoying as every time I open a file, I have to change the color schemes. It seems like these settings are not being saved in the user-configuration file for some reason or another.
I have tried deleting my user-config file in the user directories, and started new user-config files, but to no avail, the problem is persistent. The color just will not stay.
How do I get around this problem?

Mystery: XP display color scheme : silver can result in black on black unreadable controls

My setup is a Dell PC running XP Professional. Display Dell 1901 (also does this on Default Display). Intel 82856G Integrated Graphics driver. LabVIEW 7.1.
The color settings for the 5 controls on the attached .vi are foreground: 179 179 179 and background 255 255 255 yet some appear as black on black in the XP display color scheme : silver and some appear as black on white. By setting the XP color scheme to default, you can use the color sample and color fill tools to change whether a control will be black on black or black on white in the color scheme : silver view. It appears like there is some "magic property" that is not foreground or background color that is being copied with the color sample and fill tools.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I was a bit puzzled by this myself until someone suggested I use the "color sucker" tool to find out what the current colors of the enums were.
The color sucker tool (aka eye-dropper) can be used by selecting the paintbrush tool and holding CTRL on the keyboard. Now left-click the item you want to check the color of. Right-click any object to bring up the color picker, and look at the colors in the history. The one furthest to the right (that isn't "empty") is the color you just picked up with the color sucker.
You'll notice that on the problematic enums, the background color is "Hilight Text". This is a system color that will change depending on the theme you use. On the silver theme, it is black or near-black. On the others it is white or near-white.
When picking colors, you might want to be careful to watch the text next to the curently selected color box. If it has RGB values, this is safe (theme-independent). It's also safe to use named colors in the "User" list, such as "Control Background". But if the named color is a system color, it can change depending on your theme.
Disclaimer: I don't know if color sucker or eye dropper is the "official" term for this tool.

Color scheme in a tv card

i have conxant bt878 tv-in card and use it vith v4l2 and xawtv plugins
i give it pal signal to the composite (yellow plug) input
but i cant get correct display with any of the color schemes i choose in settings !
correct display but grayscale : works with pal-nc and sometimes pal-m (intermittent)
(screenshot)
(what it looks like in reality)
running multiple grayscale frames : happens with all other pal
same thing with each frame colored in one of r/g/b : happens with all secam
(screenshot)
(what it looks like in reality)
top of screen is proper bottom of video (in grayscale though) and everything else is constant green : happens with all ntsc and sometimes pal-m
what is the problem with color ?
a standard tv plugged to the same signal detects it as pal and displays normal color video

Pages does not have Themes like Word.
There might be other ways to achieve what you want by swapping master objects and changing colors of Styles. A bit more work but not horrendously more.
You can name color swatches in the Color Picker so you could set up a set of colors there then update styles and objects systematically using those swatches.
Illustrator would be an extremely poor choice for a Newsletter.
Have a look at the new Swift Publisher 3 in the App Store, currently 30% off. They have added some very good tools that have brought it into a much more Pro usable form. Including many key features that Pages lacks.

Back up color scheme in KDE4 [SOLVED]

Hello,
What config files might I back up to easily return to my custom color scheme in case I need to reinstall. I could, of course, just write down every html notation number, but I thought there might be a config file that would make backing it up a bit easier.
Thanks--
Last edited by darkwillow (2010-03-17 01:14:25)

if you saved a color scheme through the settings, on vanilla kde4
~/.kde4/share/apps/color-schemes/
you should see something like MyColors.color (*.color files are any ones you've changed or saved)
i'm guessing .kdemod4 for kdemod

Custom color scheme xml not getting used

I have a custom color scheme. I used the advanced settings.
Some of the color scheme settings are getting picked up but I don't think any of the advanced ones are.
The advanced settings ARE getting written to the color scheme's xml document (XcelsiuscustomThemes/mySchemeName.xml
)... so that's good. Here's an example:
    <ListView>
      <headerStyleName.color>0xE1EFF7</headerStyleName.color>
       <textSelectedColor>0x333333</textSelectedColor>
      <headerStyleName.textSelectedColor>0x333333</headerStyleName.textSelectedColor>
    </ListView>
Is there someplace I need to point to the XcelsiuscustomThemes/mySchemeName.xml ? So that those styles get used ?
Incidentally, If I edit the programfiles(x86)/.../themes/DefaultMapping.xml document   -- then any changes are reflected... so it seems like I just need to be able to tell xcelsius to use the XcelsiuscustomThemes/mySchemeName.xml    instead of   the DefaultMapping.xml

Hi Hema
They should be located here:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\assets\themes\custom
OR:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\XcelsiuscustomThemes

Change color scheme of Terminal in XFCE4 ? *SOLVED*

The default install of XFCE4 has a terminal with black text on white background. I find it a bit too bright, and its not as easy on the eyes as white text on black bg. When I used to use KDE, the terminal came with 'themes', one of them being 'linux colors', which I have gotten used to.
Is there any config file I can edit / menu option to change to alter the color scheme of the XFCE4 terminal?
(I tried xfce4rc and menu.xml, but couldn't find anything regarding color schemes in there)
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Took Hum's advice. Look below for solution.

I don't know wich one is the default terminal in xfce4 but it could be xterm.
There is also gnome-terminal wich got built in configuration, it is bigger in memory but I like it.

Testing Interactive Form Logon Displays Odd Color Scheme

For over a year we have been using this one interactive form. The color scheme, when logging into this form, has changed. The developer who created the form has made no changes, and I do not know of any changes on the Basis side that would cause this.
When I test the form from SICF, the initial logon screen has a black background and the logon window where we enter the username and password is outlined in blue. Once I log into the form, it displays properly. Any ideas on what may be causing this form to display in this odd manner?
I know it is just the colors and the form itself still works, but some endusers find it hard to read the logon screen when it displays like this.
Thanks,

Goto transaction SICF.
Under default_host>sap>bc>webdynpro>sap>(name of interactive form) - double click on the form
Select Error Pages Tab, within the Create/Change Service window that is now open. Switch to change mode, and Scroll down the page to select the configuration button.
This opens the System Logon Configuration Window and under Logon Layout and Procedures you will see two options. SAP Implementation and User-Specific. SAP Imlpementation has a Tmpl (Template) and SAP ICON selection. User-Specifc has a class your developer would have created. You select which option and settings for that option you want. Then select the adjust Links and Images. When I made these changes, it asked me for a transport.
Once you have applied the changes, created the transport and saved everything. You will now be able to run a test of the form from SICF to see what the new logon layout looks like. You just transport the change through the rest of your systems.

How can I get Black color scheme

I am trying to find out how to change the color scheme on an iPhone to similar to that of Spotlight search but for all apps, ie, white and grey on black instead of black on white.

Grayscale is probably the best (Settings>General>Accessibility>Grayscale)

EDIT: If you would like a black color scheme, use the suggestion in the reply above.

Color Scheme Updates Not Working

Color schemeing is hugely helpful for me. I recently migrated from a Win7 machine to a Mac and have been trying to change the color scheme. I uploaded a dark scheme I found, that worked okay, but when I go in to make some additional tweaks, they simply don't save. I'll make the change > click OK > go back go the Preferences menu, review the change I made, but it won't show. As if the change didn't happen at all.
Quit the app after making the change doesn't seem to really help either.
Anyone experience anything like this?
Thanks!

I may be a little confused, but if you are working with a gray or white layer the color burn will not work as there is no color to work on. Does that make sense?

How do I change the color scheme on my new Iphone 4s

I accidentally changed the color scheme of the new 4s I purchase, I mean everything inluding the look of apps and thier colors.
It makes my pictures I take look all screwed up...they all look almost Sepia and like an exposed role of film.
How do I change the color scheme back to the original settings?

You seem to be referring to more than the background wallpaper for the home screen. There are no "color scheme" settings in the phone - you may have activated white on black used for the visually impaired.

Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari! I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away. Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme. And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white. I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey. OR white on ANY light color. In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast. For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white. It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages. Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue. I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white. I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue.
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities! Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system?
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page. Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small.
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem. For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way. I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts!
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files! I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages! I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans.
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period. Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages. A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone! The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music. We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks!
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.
