Blue background/white text

I agree wholeheartedly with all the complaints above about the offensively bad themes. But I would also like to see MSFT reinstate the option that used to exist in Word 2003 and earlier to change the background of the document to blue and the text to white.
When working on a long, complex document, switching to that contrast is very helpful. I complained about this a lot when Word 2010 came out (I skipped 2007), but MSFT couldn't care less. But now that they have to fix color/contrast issues anyway, why not go
all the way and make the product more comfortable to use? MSFT's stupidity and unresponsiveness is astounding.

I totally agree that we need some new themes. I just started going ahead and changing the page background color to a dark blue and the text to white when I need a little different contrast for my tired eyes... you may already do that but I thought I'd mention
it just in case:
Maybe the next version will surprise us!

Help me choose the right black for a background (white text on black BG)!

Hi all!
I am polishing an InDesign document for a magazine. The cover will contain a big black surface with white texts on top (alongside a white surface with black texts/graphics on top and there is also a color bar on top of the black surface.)
I was warned that standard black will not work for the black background and I was advised to produce a 'cyan black' or a '4 colour black' instead.
The cover of the magazine will most likely be like a book cover: fairly thick white cardboard/paper with a coated job.
What exact color choice would you recommend knowing that the text color will be 'paper white'.
I now have this Pantone Black C (from the Pantone solid coated library): would it be good for this job? And what about the other black text and graphic elements on the white surface? Should they be from the same black?
I was hoping for the most straight forward and saff answere to this question as soon as possible.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Best.
Nic

I agree with Bob.
Generally, I do ask the printer. But usually I set up a rich black with 50% cyan and 100% black.
Adding more than Cyan to the Black can cause misregisteration issues, usually I stick to a 2 colour build for the Rich Black when knocking out White Text.
If your printer suggests differently then use what they have asked.
A few general rules of thumb:
Don't use thin serif fonts below 10pt - as the serifs have a chance of filling in.
Use a slightly bolder version of the font if one is available.
Increase the kerning slightly.
Point size and and typeface is key to setting reversed out type. A font with thick hairlines will not break up as easily as one with thin hairlines. Italics tend to be problematic as in they can break up more easily than roman faces. Increasing the kerning here is vital as it prevents letters from joining up unintentionally.
When talking with the printers - let them know what type size and what font you're planning to use and if it will cause any issues with the print quality.

Blue background behind text

Often when we print from a third party application the PDF comes out with a
dark blue background that is very hard to read.
Any fix for this?

I am the vendor and don't have a clue how to stop this or what could cause it; I am looking for suggestions please. Or someone to contact off line.

Enforcing black background / white text on websites

GOAL: Have consistent web browsing experience with generally dark-colors, without white-flashes. Minor bugs and quirks are fine.
Is there anybody who has tried to achieve this? Any success? What software do you use?
I currently use chromium with Deluminate extension. Resulting colors are good, however, white flashes occur when clicking links (etc) and it's killing me. I would switch browser without hesitation if there was a way to do this nicely. Any help/advice/tips?

I have similar question not for web browser but the os. I use zion (reversed) colour sheme (system settings > apps looks or how it is named in english > colour > zion (reversed), i changed two options because on white screen text was black and window was black so i was not able to see antyhing that i typed in. Now i have black window with red fonts and it works, but on some occasion not all webistes work that well and sometimes i have websites that are white, and fonts when typing are still not visible because of colour scheme.
1 - webpage that does not allow me to see what i type in because text is black and window is black
2 - the same webpage, text is only visible not when typing in but when i highlight it:
3 - and how it should look on webistes, for archforum is an example, because i see what i type. Window is black but text is red, so i see it :
I would like to know what to change to being able to see what i type in or choose (when there are java or flash content) on all of webpages.

Blue background?

Is there a way in Pages to set a blue background on screen with white type?

Centered / Strive for difference
Maybe a rather mute point by now. However this is something that also has bothered me as I've enjoyed the blue background white text as well.
A workaround I've used is inverting the colors in Settings > Unversal Access to White on Black text. Not quite White on Blue but accomplishes the same goal and prints normally. Also easy to turn on and off. (Not completely my idea, I just thought from the iphones ability to invert colors Mac OS should do the same and stumbled upon a similar image as below for a possible answer to some other issue with colors, but solved my poblem!!)
Another quick hint I looked up, hold: Ctrl, Option, Cmd then press 8 to quicky toggle on and off.
Refreshing to get away form all that 'normal' color sometimes. Don't you think?

How do I setup my printer to print the colored background white and the text black on PP slides?

I have an Officejet Pro L7680. I am attempting to print PowerPoint slide that have a blue background and white text with a white background and black text. I've made changes within PowerPoint and made adjustment when printing and neither helps. I still end up with printed slides having a black background with white text? Thank you!

Hi,
Follow these steps to disable two sided printing:
Open the file you would like to print. From the File menu select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
Click the settings drop down, it will usually appear as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.

Shlomi

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

Change Background to White & Text To Black

Hello,
I am trying to use FCP7 to change my background to white (rather than black) and my text to white.
I used View -> Background -> White and then changed my text colour to white.
Everything seems fine in my timeline, and is rendered.
But when I go to Export video, the export has a blackbackground and no text.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Nick, I asked a friend about Color Matte. You were right. The next step is chose Color Solid then change that color from blue to white. Then add a new track and insert slug with the white color matte and all is good! Thanks!

How do i change the background display to white with black text. It is white text on blackbackground right now

Why is my screen display black background with white text? How can i change back to black text on white background?

Change it in Settings > General > Accessibility.

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

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!

Text message has blue background?

Hello. Normally the text messages I send have a green background and the ones I receive have a beige background. Today, however, without warning, the ones I send have a blue background. What would have caused that?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. So, if I understand this carefully, whenever I send a message from my iPhone 5 which has IOS6 to someone else who has an iPhone 5 with IOS6, the message travels via Apple's network rather than via the phone network. If I send to someone who does not use IOS6 it travels as an SMS over the phone network. Is that the gist of it? Thanks.
