Black on dark grey in Safari tabs (!)

Am I the only one not to understand the logic of this color combination which makes characters barely legible to my 47 years-old eyes?

HI,
You can increase the text size. Press Command + on your keyboard.
Unfortunately, as for Tabs there isn't any alternative for the color combination.

Can I change the workspace color in Photoshop Elements 12, to Black or dark grey?

Can I change the workspace in Photoshop Elements 12, to black or dark grey? I do not like the light grey, around my tools.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

Word & Pages: black vs dark grey

Hello,
If I open the same document in Word and in Pages, the contrast is much better in Word. A black test looks black in Word, dark grey in Pages. The letters seem to be a little bit blurred on the edges too. Anyone?
Thank you!
Vittorio

Blacks turn dark grey after exporting to pdf from InDeign cs6

Exactly what the title says. The one on the right is from Indesign....the left one is after exporting (the same in preview and acrobat reader).Anyone know why this happens?

In this case it looks like the color change is because the color mangement settings are not sync'd and not a color conversion—if there was a CMYK-to-CMYK conversion on export the image wouldn't show through.
ID, Acrobat, and Preview all display some black CMYK mixes as something other than absolute black, but the preview depends on the color settings so there could be a shift if they don't match.

Dark grey bar obscuring part of export file dialogue box

Hi All,
I've recently noticed that when I export a picture and the save as file dialogue box opens a black or dark grey horizontal rectangle obscures part of the window and the files/folders in it as shown here:

I can usually work around it but it's a bit irritating. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Cheers,
Dave.

have you tried the basics yet? I think deleting preferences would be the place to start.

On PDF fine black image appears dark grey

We are using a mix of .TIF and .bmp images in black and type in black with a full background of Panotone Hexachrome Orange M. When we make a PDF of this the images and type appear dark grey on the PDF. When we print them they print out normal.

What can I say? Stuff happens.

I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?

[KDE] Img viewer fullscreen backgrd color dark grey instead of black

I've noticed that while running native qt image viewers in KDE to view images in full-screen mode the background color is set to dark grey instead of pure black. If a run a gtk image viewer I get a black background.
In xfce4 this is corrected since most qt image viewers will display a black background, with the exception gwenview.
This leaves me wondering if there is some setting I must fiddle with...

That slider only affects the color of the background in non-fullscreen mode, at least on my end...
edit: furthermore just tried the Fedora Live CD and this issue is not present. So I can only conclude something must be wrong with KDE setup...

HT1688 On my iphone 4 below the search window, I have three greyed out safari icons with different web links attached

I have a iPhone 4 8GB. I have three greyed out safari icons that doesn't say safari but a web link. It's like a bookmark to your homepage but not in your homepage. I noticed it when I deleted all my web pages and on that one web page where it says "search or type in a address" right below it where it's just all white, there's three grey looking safari icons with each one with a different web site that's attached to it. When I tap on it it goes to a specific website. For ex one if them says www.longchamp.com, the other macys.com. There's no way to delete it. The wired thing is each one in color it like three shades of grey . Light, med and darker grey icons. When I hold down the icon you can move it around but can't delete, nothing just nothing. It's been there for the longest time I can remember. Do you know what this is? I took a pic of it. I don't know how to attach it to this discussion. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

My screen has gone to a very dark grey on startup.

My screen has gone to a very dark grey on startup. I can faintly make out the desktop icons, but it is about 98% black. Everything else seems to be fuctioning. Any ideas?

Not inexpensive, you should decide whether it's worth doing, or upgrading to a new machine, yours is no longer supported, and neither are there any new apps that will work on it. It may be time to bite the bullet and get a new one, you can look in the Apple Store refurbished section for good deals.

Every time I have have Preview as my default pdf reader. I download a pdf file, i get a dark grey screen. Any suggestions?

I have Preview as my default pdf reader. Every time I download a pdf file, I get a dark grey screen. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I also installed Adobe Reader because an ebook I downloaded wouldn't open without it.
I then chose Adobe Reader as my default. When I later uninstalled it using the Trash Me app-which usually clears everything out-I couldn't get Preview back as the default.
I went to the "Library/Internet plug-ins" path and trashed the two Adobe Reader plug ins that were there. I used Secure Empty Trash, and then shut down completely and did not check the box to reopen any windows. Then I restarted the Mac.
I not only shut down Safari, I closed all applications and shut down the Mac completely being sure to uncheck the "relaunch with windows open" button. When I turned the Mac back on, I opened Safari and went to an online PDF that I had been trying to open previously to test the app. It opened this PDF using Preview and showed it in Safari.
I then tested using a PDF from my files and it opened in Preview.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

IOS 7 Safari tab major bug

So I run a white iPhone 5S and I recently started looking into what I thought was a faulty screen.. every time I reopened a tab in safari (usually dark images) white fuzzy dots/lines would jolt around the edges of the screen, sometimes bleeding across horizontally. It wasn't until recent research that I saw some feedback on iOS 7 Safari tabs (in the beta stage) that the anti-aliasing wasn't kicking in fast enough and the outlines were supposed to be immensly jaggerdy.. well that's still the same, and to my best guess I have a feeling that this issue has something in relation to anti-aliasing/resizing the content.
A colleuge of mine also tried it on his iPhone 5, and he too got the same results.. horrid white glitchy patterns upon reopening a tab - please follow this link for a quick reprosenation: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=vobyhf&s=5#.Umftg5Tk9Gg
It's a little weird really.. it happens 99.8% of the time with dark photos, but only around 92% of the time with dark web pages. I did manage to screen shot it in action this morning, however only two white pixels are visible as I only just caught it (it's in different patterns each time) every other time I took one I only managed to capture a blank page with a warped web page filling out slowly; so basically the animation when reopening a tab. Ironicly if I had another iPhone 5S then I would record it in the 'slo-mo' setting but unfortunately I don't.
Has anyone else experienced/heard/seen this?
p.s. I have just updated to 7.0.3 and it's still doing it

hello i have the same problem with my iphone 5 ,i'm experiencing the problem just in safari ,when i switch between dark tabs it flickering white spots dots pixels on the edge just like in your video!i have 7.0.4 and i'm wondering if i go to the retail store i would receive a replacement or a repair or something !i am going to make an apple appointment genius bar ,see if i could do something about it..

Pantone Dark Grey Suggestions

Hello,
I am trying to make business cards in Adobe Illustrator using the Pantone Color System. In my logo, the middle circle is a dark grey: C20 Y20 M20 K80. I can't find a suitable Pantone grey that is this dark. Pantone 425U is too light. Do you have any suggestions? Also, which Pantone Black is the darkest? Thanks.

David,
To think ink, and before seeing the back and still wondering what the paler grey was supposed to be, I was about to suggest a possible simple way of getting a hard hit on the black, namely overprinting with a reversal of the front colours, using two inks, namely Black 7 with 100% for the dark grey aperture (slightly increased to form a spread) and 50% for (the rest of) the background (the latter might suit you or not, still leaning towards the golden to an obviously different degree) and (the non golden) Black 6 on top as a Compound Path with the actual aperture and Type as holes (total background ink coverage 287).
Seeing the need for a 100% paler grey ink on the back (and the choice of the (neutral) Cool Gray 7) changes this, so you may use the Black 7 with (sufficient) spread into the Cool Gray 7 of the background round the aperture and still with Black 6 on top as a Compound Path with the actual aperture and Type as holes; you may find this too tricky, especially if you are far from the print shop, although the sheer darkness may cover any misregistration/exaggerated trapping (total background ink coverage 285).
Apart from the obvious advantages of your being able to walk into a nearby print shop, the choice of printer is a matter of trust/reputation concerning the whole work, not only inks, and applying to the specific printer rather than country.

I cannot quit safari, tabbed webapges, or turn off the PC or restart.

I have a Snow Leopard Mac book pro and first I had no sound until I used the software volume and mute buttons. Like a jiggling. That worked but now safari won't quit and the quit safari button is greyed out. Tabbed webapges have no x for closing. I cannot restart or shutdown or power off. Please help thanks.

Try to force quit Safari. To do it, hold Control, Command and Esc keys, select Safari in the window that will appear and force quit it

Flash installer has a blank dark grey screen

I am trying to install Flash player in Firefox (latest version) and windows 8 OS (rather unimpressed with it but...). The program downloads fine. It prompts me to run it and that goes fine. It asks for permission to make changes. I grant it. The it starts but all I see is a an empty gray box. No writing, no status bar, simply a dark grey/black box with a blue frame. It never does install and work.
I have read through the installation troubleshooting guide and tried some of the suggestions for windows but it was no help. What should I try next?
PS This is not an easy forum system to use or get help on. None of the communities seem like logical places to post this question.

I'm having the same problem J_george and have been for months. I've also done a post requesting help, I will let you know if I hear anything.
Thanks
