Background Text Color

I have a problem with background text, particularly in yahoo, but other pages as well. The background color is a light, very light grey. I often have to highlight, or copy and past to be able to read.
Is there a way to change these background text colors???
Thanks

Hi,
Open System Preferences / Universal Accesss - Seeing.
See if you have the Display set as "Whtie on black".
Or, if the "User grayscale" box is selected, deselect that.
Or, try move the Reduce or Increase contrast slider.

Uneven color between background text frame and underlying frame fill

Hi. I'm using InDesign CS3 on Windows XP.
On my document, the main heading is in a frame with a fill of 'None'. The heading text has a bevel and emboss. The text frame sits on a background A4 frame which is filled with a Pantone spot colour.
When I print the cover page, the color filling the text frame is slightly different from the background Pantone color, even though the text frame has no color fill.
When I checked the document before printing in View>Overprint Preview, it appeared to be fine. The PDF also looked fine. In both situations, I could not discern a color difference but it is there in the printed document.
To provide a color behind the text which matches the fill color of the frame occupying the whole page, what should I do? My gut feel is to select the background frame and the text frame and check the knockout box on the effects panel or something like that.
I hope I have explained sufficiently clearly the problem I am experiencing.
Look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks
Frank

I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. I just download the recent trail version of Iworks and install it. The first document I opened it was ok. When I open the second one the problem appear again and stayed. Pls help

This behavior was described many times.
In every occurrence,the operating system was an uncompleted one resulting of the use of Software Update to update the operating system to 10.6.2, 10.6.3, 10.6.4, 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7.
In such cases, the solace was to apply a combo updater.
As you are using 10.6.7, download and apply the combo 10.6.7 :

After that, run Software Update which will urge you to apply :

I can't read the text on my toolbar after changing personas, and unchecking "use text color" doesn't do anything even if I change personas.

Several personas come with unreadable text and accent color. This article explains how to resolve the issue:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+read+text+after+selecting+a+Persona
However, when I followed the directions, the text colors did not stay the same as I switched personas.

If you have installed a persona then the default text color and background color of the toolbars are defined by that persona.<br />
The colors of the currently selected persona are stored as the first entry in the pref <b>lightweightThemes.usedThemes</b> as textcolor and accentcolor.
You can edit that pref and set another value for the "textcolor":"#ffffff" part (e.g. "textcolor":"#000000").

How do I change the text color of desktop icons in OS X Yosemite?

I have a lighter background for my finder and keep many icons on it. Due to the lighter background, I need to adjust the text color of the icon to a darker color. I can't locate where to adjust from the default (white) to a grey.

Thank you for your response. My icons are difficult to read on a light background. Are there any third party modifications available? TinkerTool does not have this capability.
I do not know of any 3rd party apps to do the mod currently.
You can change the background pic or modify the original BG by underexposing it for better contrast.

How to set selected text color in Spark TextInput

I'm trying to make Spark TextInputs and MXFTETextInputs look like Halo/MX TextInputs as much as possible, since I have a mix of both Spark and MX TextInputs in my application. I know I can set the
selection background color to black using focusedTextSelectionColor. How can I set the selected text color to white so it matches the MX white-on-black look?

This works, if you set the enabled property directly on the s:TextInput:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />
    </s:layout>
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:CheckBox id="ch" label="enabled" selected="true" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
        s|TextInput:disabled {
            color: red;
    </fx:Style>
    <s:Group>
        <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{ch.selected}" />
    </s:Group>
</s:Application>
It can get a bit trickier when you're setting the enabled property on a parent container, since (I believe) that the child control's enabled properties are still set to true and just the container is disabled. One possible workaround would be to bind the child TextInput control's enabled property to the container's enabled property. That way the s:TextInput should still go to it's disabled state and you can customize the disabled state's styles to have darker text, or whatever else you want.
<s:Group id="gr" enabled="{ch.selected}">
    <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{gr.enabled}" />
</s:Group>

Easy one I hope: How do I change text color?

For the life of me I can't seem to find anything with a color pallette (except for background fill). I need to change text color but don't know where to find it. Everything's always black. When I highlight the text, and goto "Font", I see something that looks like the "Select Text Color" (like the one above but as soon as you mouse over it, it turns to a crossed-out "ABC", and can't get the pallette.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Question: Are these fields that you had changed the type of in the Object Pallet/Field Tab/Type ? If so, try deleting the object and put a new one in its place from the Object Library.
If no, what sort of parent do these items have? Table Row? or SubForm?
Good luck!

Changing hyperlink text colors.

I saw few posts asking about changing hyperlink text colors. And there are many camps regarding this topic. Suzanne Boben would recommend editing template XML . Some would recommend editing published HTML code. Some would recommend editing CSS code.
But it came down to couple things.
1) proficient in XML, HTML or CSS
2) tried different colors, but it did turned out as expected
One easy way is editing CSS files, this only apply to pages' hyperlink text; if your text got turn to PNGs, read no further .
iWeb generates a CSS file for the associated HTML page - CSS file is in the Page_files folder.
Edit the CSS files and keep copies of them, then you won't have to edit them again the next time you publish you sites.
These CSS files are quite easy to understand, all you have to do is to look for a { , a:visited { and a:hover { .
They contain RGB (Red Green Blue) values for link color, visited link color and rollover color.
But what about those #8000FF and #4c4c4c?
Well, I know they are RGB hexadecimal color values, but I don't what colors they are, so I came up with Argiope (Argiope is a family colorful spiders).
It's a colors picker application to help with choosing background color, link color and rollover color. It'll give you the exact RGB hexadecimal value of chosen color.
You can find Argiope here. Enjoy

It can be done, but I have to do too much works.
I already have a a script to do that, but it's quite complicated for an average bear.
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/iWeb_utils --> LinksColors.zip
Does just that, it is flexible, you can configure the colors for individual page, but it is quite different to configure. Look at the colors.txt and page.txt.
If you really want to know more, ping me.

Change row text color if box checked

Hi. I've setup my form in a table and if a checkbox is
ticked, the background color changes along the whole row. Trouble
is, the text doesn't stand out after this color change so I also
need the text color to change from black to white when checked and
revert to black if unchecked. Anyone know how I would do this?
Here's the code I'm using to change the background color. Can I
modify it or do I need new code? I'm still learning :)
<script type="text/javascript">
function change(obj) {
var tr=obj.parentNode.parentNode;
if(obj.checked) {
tr.className+=' pink';
else {
tr.className=tr.className.replace(' pink', '');
clickCh();
.nochange, tr {background-color:white;}
tr.pink {
background-color:#7247D1;
.light {background-color:#D2CAEB;}
.dark {background-color:#B1AAD7;}
<tr class="light">
<td width="68" bgcolor="#000000" class="leftAlign"
scope="row"> </td>
<td width="20" bgcolor="7247d1" class="leftAlign"
scope="row"> </td>
<td width="21" class="leftAlign"
scope="row"> </td>
<td class="leftAlign"
scope="row"> <strong>
ProductA</strong> (details)</td>
<td width="30" class="leftAlign" scope="row"><div
align="center">20g</div></td>
<td><input name="input4" onClick="change(this)"
value="0.80" type="checkbox"></td>
<td >£0.15</td>

<td bgcolor="7247d1"> </td>

ALV Weddynpro : Text color for a row(for a particular record)

Hello Friends,
Situation : Webdynpro App utilizing re-usable ALV component to Edit(changed/modify) Employee records.
I have used to the class cl_salv_wd_uie_a_input to make certain columns read_only and colored(cell background only).
My requirement :
Suppose there are 4 rows and based on if a certain condition is staisfied(lets say 2 rows), then i have to changed the color ONLY THE TEXT(to RED). There is certain meaning for the rows for such records which users can easily interpret.
I have tried to used CL_SALV_WD_UIE_TEXT_VIEW(which i have successfully color coded the texts), but i lose the editing capabilities.
The webdynpro App uses a EDITABLE-ALV meaning that, user can insert/modify/delete records and save them in the DB.
Is there anyway to have both this features using above said situations and consequences?
OR
Pls share any workaround if anyone has tried this before?
Regards
Vinay.

Hi,
We can assign semantic colors only to text view fields. So in this case since you are forcibly changing the view to text view, for text coloring, we are losing the edit fields capabilities. Instead setting the type of field( text view / input view ) based on the your condition could be best, so that editing capabilities is also not missed and text coloring is also not missed.
Or you can set all fields to input fields and set the read only/edit property based on the condition and set the cell design of the fields accordingly, so that the users can distinguish easily.

Possible to change review text color and wording

I've searched high and wide to try changing the text color for the review mode field "CORRECT ANSWERS" that shows on a fill in the blank/ short answer question. Ideally I'd like white text (it's set at black) and I'd like to have it say "Correct answer(s)" or even somethinge else. I don't like the all caps that's used either.
I've looked at the Object Style Manager but I don't see this particular field available/editable. Has anyone found where in the c:\Program Files\Adobe... files this setting is controlled - a .dll, .xml, .txt? I don't mind changing it to white there if I have to.

Hi, thanks. Cap 7. I whipped up that course from scratch, no particular theme applied. Also to answer your question, I looked at the master slide and that particular review mode field isn't present, just the initial objects like the text input field.It's frustrating how everything but the CORRECT ANSWERS label is editable via the Object Style Manager. Why they forgot to include it is beyond me. I'm left at using "Hack a Cap" methodology by looking at all the .dll, txt. xml files hoping to fix it there because as far as I know you can't just turn the CORRECT ANSWERS field off even if you wanted to. Unfortunately almost all of our screenshots in our courses will have a royal blue background.

Icon Text Color

So I've seen discussions about being able to change icon text color and people have submitted suggestions to Apple about it.
Still nothing has been done.
Finder allows you to change the background finder window to whatever color you want but if you want black then you're out of luck because now you can't read the icons' text.
I think it's ridiculous that this hasn't been fixed yet. It's such a simple thing that should have been fixed so long ago.
Is there a reason for this?

Hi,
And please also check your "Show my desktop background on Start" option under Taskbar\Properties\Navigation, some users found that if we select "show my desktop background on Start", Win 8.1 ignores the drop shadow instruction.
And the settings for Visual Effects under control panel and registry you mentioned above are the right location we should check, so if all of them are not working, I suggest you return your PC to a previous state at which the pc was functioning fine with
restore point if possible.

Firefox: Change toolbar text color

Hello guys,
I saw some very awesome threads in the artwork section and I thought someone here might be able help me make firefox sexier (sorry if I posted in the wrong section! should this be on artwork? newbie?).
Could anyone supply the CSS code/element (for userChrome.css) I need to change so font color in the toolbar items changes?
(I want to change the "Back","Reload","Home" color form black to white when they are active)
I tried some stuff I found on google like:
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
color: white ! important;
But to no avail.
I think it should be something like 'toolbar' or 'navigation-buttons' (instead of the 'menu' elements) because they are originally from the 'Navigation toolbar' (I just clicked 'Customize' to move them up).
Thanks!

/edit misread your question i think, you want to change the the menu text?
heres what i have for tabs.
/* Change text to green for selected tabs. */
tab[selected="true"] .tab-text {
color: #87c300 !important;
/* remove +newtab button */
.tabs-newtab-button {
display: none;
/* Change the tab-bar height */
.tabbrowser-strip
height: 16px !important;
/* background-color: #888888 !important; */
* remove tab favicons */
.tab-icon-image {
display: none !important;
and changed their width in about:config
