Background color differs from computer to computer

1. I have a page where users can enter some data, some of the fields have back ground color YELLOW on SOME computers (same browser version IE 7...) ,I never seen it on my desktop and some others but I see it on few others.
2. some of the text looked BOLD on some computers.
What could be the reason?
3. some of the buttons seems to be diff than other, Image vs HTML buttons , I saw the threads talk about "rebooting display server". what is display server. I reboot apache but nothing changes. what is display server?

Display server is X.11 server, different from Apache, ask your DBA for bouncing this

Background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %% on email

I type =25% on my email and sent out, background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %%.

Try leaving a space after the =
Thus: = 25%
Where and when did it change? Did it change inside Thunderbird? Did it change in the Sent folder? Or in a reply to you?
= and % are used in certain types of email encoding; =20% often appears, meaning character 0x20 which is 32 denary or the space character. It is often used where an explicit space would be illegal, and this is common in URLs and other links. I'm thinking that =25% similarly has a special meaning. It ''shouldn't'' get decoded, but software is buggy.
I can't reproduce it here, which is why I'm asking about how and when it changes. Where does the Microsoft software come into it?

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

[SOLVED] ls colors different from tab completion colors

Region Header Background Color different to the theme template

Hello,
for my apex application i configured the theme Blue Gray - 13.
I want that my application displays all region-, report headers on every page in a different color, for example "magenta".
My CSS Code in the page header on page1:
<style type="text/css">
.t13RegionHeader {background-color:#FF3FA0;}
th.t13ReportHeader {background-color:#FF3FA0;}
</style>
{code}
works fine for report regions and form regions, but i didn't manage to change the color for the tabs. Is there any chance to switch the background color for tabs. Perhaps it's a better way to change the Color of the theme but I nether know how to manage this.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Christian

Hi Chris,
first thanks for your quick answer.
...but it didn't work.
I'm using the Internet Explorer, but i analysed the source code of the running page. I tried also the entries: .t13PageTabs and th.t13PageTabs but i had no success on this try.
For the Page Tabs i found the following code:
<div id="t13PageTabs"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="" class="t13PageTabs"><tbody><tr><td class="OnL"><img src="/i/themes/theme_13/tabOnL.png" alt="" /></td>

In Spry menu, can I make the dropdown colors different from the main one?

In this menu at the link, I would like to keep "who we are" in the color it is, but make its submenu colors different. I can't see to find in the CSS where to do that without changing both the main and sub menu colors.
Homepage

Based on the default Spry menu code you are correct that it is all or nothing. The only alternative you could do is create your own custom CSS class to use on all sub-menu items on the drop-down to override the colors. This declaration would need to be after the Spry submenu one that you have found because the browsers will read CSS from start to finish so the later declarations will override the earlier ones.

Can background color vary from page to page ?

Hi, all.
As I am working on a book I am trying to find a way to design pages with different background colors. This was fairly easy to do in Lightroom but I haven't yet found a way to do the same in Aperture.
I would like to assign different background colors - primarily black, white and gray - to different pages of my book according to their content.
How can I manually assign different background colors to book pages ?
Thank you in advance,

In the "Edit Layout" mode you can add additional photo boxes (using the "+"-button) and resize them to cover the whole background. Then send them behind the other photo boxes by using the "send backward" and "send forward" buttons in the upper left corner of the toolbar.
In this case, does Aperture support layers ? Can I place an object on a page and then place another either over or under it ?
If you mean layers as in Photoshop or Gimp, where you can compose images by overlaying transparent layers, then the answer is "no", for Aperture does not support operations involving alpha channels (if you import an original image with added alpha, Aperture will maintain it, e.g. in watermarks, but generally Aperture is not a program for graphics compositing.

JPG colors different from Lightroom Display

I am aware of issues when you try to print an image without taking into account the calibrated color profiles of both the printer and your monitor, but not when it comes to displaying 2 images on the same monitor.
To put it simple: I process an image in Lightroom. I get the desired result, create a JPG out of it.
The JPG is very different from what I had in Lightroom. Much lighter among others.
What would be a potential reason to explain such behavior?

CSS Simon wrote:
You said: "I did click "Reset all default Develop settings" and reimported the JPG. Now it does look exactly the way the original RAW image looks."
So I assume you mean "why is the jpeg displayed in another program not the same as the raw (or the jpeg, for that matter) displayed in LR?". Either the other programs aren't colour managed, or the monitor isn't correctly calibrated and profiled? See Jao vdL's post.
Indeed. Now it makes sense. What totally confused me was when the JPG, reimported in LR, did not look the same as the RAW image. I thought that if LR was color managed, then both images should look the same.
After I clicked the "Reset all default Develop settings", the reimported JPG looks "correct". Not sure I fully understand what happened however
CSS Simon wrote: To your other post: Lightroom uses ProPhoto RGB as its working space during editing, so in Develop Module the image displayed is in that colour space. In Library Module, LR displays the previews which are stored in Adobe RGB, I believe. This is true whatever the colour space of the image. This is of no consequence to the user, as LR is colour managed, and whatever working space is used internally is mapped to the monitor colour space by using the monitor profile. Provided there is a correct monitor profile, that is.
Interesting. So if my monitor is not properly calibrated, it would be possible that the image in the library module could look different from the same image in the development module? Good to know
CSS Simon wrote:
Colour management to an output device uses two profiles: the profile of the image (typically sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB or usually another standard profile) and the profile of the output device (monitor or printer as appropriate). The colour-managed program uses the two profiles to map the RGB data from the image colour space to the device colour space.
Is your monitor calibrated and profiled with a hardware colorimeter (Spyder, Display One, Color Munki etc)? If not, colour displayed by different programs will not always be predictable (and will usually not be correct). Even if it is calibrated and profiled, only colour-manged programs will display the right colour. Programs that are NOT colour managed (or not properly managed) include Internet Explorer (even IE9), Chrome, most Windows components pre Windows 7 (in W7 the photo viewer is colour managed, the desktop and most other components aren't)...
Not calibrated as of now. Will fix it soon now that it seems that it is the reason behind my problem
What you are saying is consistent with what I had read, and this is actually what confused me the most. Because I read that Firefox was color-managed, but the JPG looked the same in FF, IE, Irfanview and LR (JPG reimported before I clicked the "reset settings" button). So it looked to me like if color-managed (FF) and non-color managed (IE) software would display the JPG the same way, but yet my LR RAW image would look different. When Windows Image Viewer displayed the JPG the same way LR did for the RAW, this is where I got totally lost.

Background color different in firefox and IE

I am using dreamweaver cs5 and when I test my page in firefox, it is the color that I chose ( a pink color), but when i test it in internet explorer, it is black (this is the background color). Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it?
Also, I made my page with tables and centered the table with no margins. well the page has a huge margin gap at the bottom in google browser, but it is fine in IE and firefox. any suggestions? Thanks.

Playlist on ipod different from computer after disconnecting

Hi! This just starting happening once I upgraded to Itunes 9. I sync my ipod and iphone and the playlists (mostly just my top 25 most played) are the same UNTIL I disconnect them from the computer. Then they're magically different. HELP!

Frequently a restore is required for your problem:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Smart playlists songs different from computer to iphone

Hi, I can't seem to get my smart playlists to match from phone to computer. I wan't to get the top 25 played list on my iphone, but the list is no where near correct but it is right on the desktop computer. I would love to listen to the 25 most played songs on my iphone. Please help!

Off the top of my head, I can only think that you do not have the same musics on the iPod that you have on the computer.
Is your iPod full? Because if it is, what may be happening is that you do not have your computer's the top played songs in your iPod, and it falls back to the iPod's available Top played songs.
Make sure that you select the musics you want to sync. I think you can sync playlists? (not sure, but if you can, sync your top played playlists, and whatever else, and then choose the option to fill the ipod with the remaining available space)

Hi! what will happen to the bookmarks that are different from computer to computer? the synch feature will mixe them together or those on the 1st computer prevail?...

Bookmark synchronization - mixed up after its done?

Hi!
If you choose to synchronize bookmarks all of them will be put together and pushed across devices.
Let me know if you need extra clarification.

FCPX/Quicktime displaying colors different from everything else

FCPX and Quicktime display videos exactly how I color correct them in FCPX. Opening them in Compressor, VLC, MpegStreamclip, Youtube and Vimeo shows them darker and extremely red.
I've read and done pretty much everything I could find on the net and in my own head to try to work around this. Conversion to various prores formats before editing, doing editing, and after editing, converting to mp4 both by export and by saving in both QT and in MPEGstreamclip. Opening QT and doing the blend/straight alpha method, etc. I'm probably missing one here.
My monitor is a Dell u2711 that I calibrate with an Eyeone display 2. Switching to the built in profile, or doing a custom profile doesn't change the outcome of the color shift. Gamma display changes also don't change the outcome.
This is a screen shot of QT7 and Mpegstreamclip with the same image. The jpg from png compression did make the image slightly different than what I see on screen but not much. These are open side by side on the same monitor.
I'm pretty much at a loss. Could this be colorsync not communicating correctly with things outside the QT workflow? I'm perplexed why compressor also shows the change.
I haven't done any updates that I recall other than the camera raw update that apple told me to do. Not sure that would of effected anything.

Plugged in an old Samsung sycnmaster 971p and put it on 'display' as it's color profile. The images are much better, not as much shift. FCPX and VLC are pretty close to each other on this monitor.
The quicktime preview screen is still pretty red.
Guess it has something more to do with the monitor than I thought. It is a slightly newer monitor we had just started editing on after calibrating it. It displays at a higher resolution than we were previously using, and uses billions of colors instead of millions. Could that of been it's issue? I'll need to read up on wide gamut displays and why they do this shifting.
Vimeo still completely messes with some of the settings but I can blame that on vimeo.

Copying a background color scheme from one image to another

I have a banner I created off the web that has red with a kind of white tint in the middle and is gradient to the corner with black tint. Can some one tell me is there a way to copy this color scheme in the from the banner and apply it to a logo image I have so that they match.
thank you in advance

Can you show us the image? Also, what exactly do you mean by:
copy this color scheme
