Anyway to recreate white text blue background ala word and word perfect?

Just stretching the background isn't going to cut it. I need the whole screen dark or I get headaches. anyone have a sexy way to make the color view invert feature work like in Word? It would make my day, I love everything about pages, but need the dark screen. thanks everyone.

Have you tried looking at the system level instead of the program level for this? Theres setting for things like this I think.

Droid Question: White Text Black Background

The inboxes for my 2 email accounts on my Motorola Droid [not my gmail account] show with white text and black or grey background. Is there someway I can reverse this so that the text is black and the backgrounds are either whiter or grey? [The gmail account appears the way I want it: black text and white or grey background]. Thanks much.

Have you tried removing the email accounts and then readding them? Sometimes this helps with resetting them in case a setting was set up wrong from your email accounts when you first added them.

Mac air won't startup completely (black /white text, info keeps popping up and then it restarts over and over)

Hi so I had to force shut down my Mac air because it froze, when I turn it on it first tells me that I had force shut down so press a key to start up, then it goes to the apple screen, then black strips with white text pop up, then it restarts again. So I looked up what to try to do and I did the "command/r" and it comes up with options, but I don't believe that I set up my time machine backup or something because nothing comes up after it "searches" for a back up thing. and it won't reinstall OS X because it can't find the installation information. And the disk utility doesn't work because it says that I need to "back up as many of [my] files as possible , reformat the disk, and restore [my] back up files" .
I'm not sure what to do but I have a lot of school things I need on it. So I hope there is some possible way to not erase any of the info on my internal hard rice. I'm also not that good with computers.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Help us help you. The more complete the description of your problem (what MBA you're using - there are many versions going back to '08, what OS you're using -there's a lot of those too- and an iOS will not work with an MBA you must be using some versions of OS X 10.5.x - 10.9.x) the more assistance we can provide, and, the sooner we can provide it..
Sounds to me like your SSD and/or your OS is corrupt.
Boot into repair and use Disk Tools->Disk Utility-Disk First Aid: repair disk to try to fix your boot volume. While you're there also do repair permissions.
Reboot holding the Shift Key down until you see a progress bar at the bottom of the screen and log in. BACK UP YOU IMPORTANT DATA.
Reboot normally (if you can't come back here)

White text on a white background when adding glossary definitions

I inherited an existing IBA file so I'm not sure how the styles were defined (and I've never really played around with custom styles or layouts) but I was hoping it wouldn't matter. The main color scheme is a dark background and light (white) text. Similar to the built in template 'contemporary'.
When I add a glossary term, i have my definitions in a separate (word) document. I copy/paste from the document into the glossary term area. When I paste, it's pasting white text. Background color of the glossary definition window is also white (not sure I can control that). My definition document is black text.
When I test the book, the little glossary dialog pops up when I touch/click on a word but again, it's white text on a white background.
Can I change the background color of the glossary dialog?
Is there a way to change all my glossary definitions from white text to black text?
When I create a test book using 'contemporary', which is also white text on a dark background, it does not have this problem.

As I mentioned, when I used a built in template, like contemporary, it worked too. The problem only happened with the IBA that I was given. Perhaps the previous owner of the file had accidentally chosen Format/Advanced/Define Default Glossary Style when they had some white on white displayed and caused all the formatting for the glossary to be the same. I was able to fix it using that menu path.
I'm not sure what fixing it in the "source file" means. I was trying to fix it in the IBA file. Not sure where else I would have fixed it.

Default UITableViewCell text label background color

I need a table view cell that just has simple text but with custom backgroundView images when not selected vs. selected. I'm too lazy to implement a custom cell, so I was using the regulation UITableViewCell, setting the backgroundView and backgroundSelectedView. The problem is for non-white backgroundView, when the cell is not selected, the text has a white box around it (the background color of the label containing the text, I assume), which looks horrible. When the cell is selected, the default UITableViewCell implementation takes care of changing the text color to white and text label background to clearColor and the custom backgroundSelectedView shows through beautifully. Is there a reason why the text label shouldn't just have a clear background color ALL THE TIME?? If the UITableViewCell is not customized for backgroundView, i.e., the cell background is white, the clear colored text label is no different from a white colored text label. If the backgroundViews are customized to non-white, a clear text label won't be in the way of the backgroundView showing through.
Does this sound like a good feature request?
How does one submit requests or bug reports for iPhone SDK anyways??
Thanks.

I am having this exact same problem right now. Did you have to subclass UITableViewCell to fix it?
I had the same problem and subclassed UITableViewCell to solve it. I set the backgroundView and selectedBackgroundView to UIView instances I wanted to use and then implemented setSelected:animated: in my subclass.
{code:}
-(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated: (BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected: selected animated: animated];
for (UIView *view in self.contentView.subviews) {
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
{code}
Bit bruteforce and as Apple suggests this will impact table performance, but the tables I work with aren't that big and it works well so far.
It'd be nice if UITableViewCell honored backgroundView like it does selectedBackgroundView, i.e. when the backgroundView property is set keep the cell contents transparent.

Blue background for home page but let websites set their own?

how do I make my (v11) homepage left centered for the personal picture I use and blue background color. AND still have webpages set their own background colors?

It is a new feature in Firefox 11+ to display a single image centered with an almost black background.
It is added by this stylesheet:
* resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering.
* Old Default Image Style: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/

Some PDF Files Shown with Black Background and White Text - Annoying

Hi All,
Recently some of my pdf documents, stored on my phone, are displayed with a black background and white text. This is quite annoying. A few weeks ago I didn't have this problem. All of my pdf documents had a white background with black text.
I'm a new iPhone user without much experience with the device. I have the 4.3 version of the software and update when prompted. I use Files Pro, FileApp Pro and QuickOffice applications in conjunction with DiskAid.
If there is something I can do to correct the situation, please let me know. If the problem is with Apple, they need to fix the situation. My phone, which used to be a great device for storing documents, has turned into an annoying bug.
Thanks,
Mike

PDFs printing with black background and white text.

For some reason some of our PDF's have been printing with black backgrounds and white text, even though they appear to be normal on the screen before they are printed. I haven't been able to confirm 100% yet but it appears to only be happening with pdfs that were created from scanned documents.
Can somebody please offer me some suggestions.

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

Black background and white text physically hurts & creates ghosting. Please add UI color toggle.

Hi,
The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state. :(

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

In design view, how to change the white panel background so white text displays? (I keep having to go to Live view to see it)

When I'm adding white text it doesn't show up as the background input panel is white, and I keep having to go into Live view to see the paragraph spacings etc. Is there a way round this, other than changing the text colour in CSS to, for instance, black, and then changing it back before I upload the page?

Hi, and thanks, but it's my fault, I think I'm describing it wrong!
I've attached two screenshots from that area of the screen, one with the white text on the white background (showing as invisible) and the other where I've highlighted the text so you can see where it is. The background .jpg isn't a solid colour, it's a pattern, and if I added an equivalent pattern to the text area div, it wouldn't line up properly on all sreen resolutions, so that's why I gave that div a transparent background. When I go into Live view, the page displays perfectly, but in Design view I can't see to make amendments to the paragraphs etc.

Preview Printing Negative Images - White text and lines on black background

Desperate for help here. After upgrading to Tiger, I have more instances when Preview displays a PDF correctly but prints certain pages with images, such as graphs and technical figures, as negatives, that is, white text and line art on a black background. Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice would be most appreciated.

I was trying to scan from a Lexmark X5250 into Preview so that I could fax a signed document to a company.
When I chose "To be faxed", with Preview TIFF program under 10.4.6 (combo) (PPC), the document appeares in Preview as a white-on-black (negative) in Preview's open window.
A work-around seems to be that one selects "To be printed", then prints from Preview, then selects (in the lower-left corner drop-down-menu) "Fax PDF". (Unfortunately, the modem still won't hang-up properly -- is this because of my ADSL filter on the fax phone-line? ).

Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that
