Bookmark bar too dark

Hi folks,
Just wondering if there is a way to change the bookmark background "dark" grey to a lighter grey (similar to google Chrome). On my Macbook, the current setting appears too dark. I would like to adjust it to my taste. Is there a tool to do this ?
Regards,

HI,
I don't thing there's a way to change the Safari GUI (graphic user interface).
Open System Preferences/Displays
Check your Brightness settings. Make sure the Brightness slider is all the way to the right.
Open System Preferences/Universal Access then select the Seeing tab.
Under Display; Move the slider next to: Enhance Contrast That may help.

I can see my internet page, but the area beneath the bookmark bar is darker and won't scroll. What do I do?, I can see my internet page, but the area beneath the bookmark bar is darker and won't scroll. What do I do?

Can someone please help? I am new to the IPad world and am a little intimidated.

Disregard I got it fixed

Since I moved to this new version, the bookmark bar is much too wide. Can I shrink it back down to its old size?

I have a lot of sub-bars under the headings in the main bar, and in the new Firefox version, I have great difficulty moving over to them with my mouse. You have widened the main bookmark bar too much. I want to go back to the size that it was in earlier versions.

Do you want to remove the icons?

In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

Safari 4 UI is way too dark, can't read bookmarks bar :(

Hi guys,
I have an issue with Safari UI. It's just way, way too dark for me. Bookmarks bar is especially hard for me to read. Why is Apple using a dark gray background and black text? It's incredibly hard to read. I don't have vision issues (I have 20/20 vision) and yet I find it straining to even look at the bar for long periods of time. And why don't they allow "favicons" to show up on the bookmarks bar? I think allowing favicons to show would improve usability too.
What can I do?

Unfortunately, you'll just have to live with it; Apple has made their design decisions for the UI so they are consistent across all (or most) of their applications. If you have a PowerPC Mac, you may want to try Unify to lighten the UI of Safari and other applications. It may not work with Safari 4, and whatever you do, make a complete bootable backup of your hard drive before you install it, and Repair Disk Permissions after that, then restart Safari to see if it works.
Favicons are not cached due to the fact that they occupy a lot of space, and that will slow down Safari, so there is no provision for allowing that at the present time.

Bookmark bar does not work on one of my computers - w XP

Firefox 4.0 - the bookmark bar does not work. It appears but will not accept drags.
PC w Windows XP - 3.
Another thing too - The open new tab does not show up at all, in order to open a new tab I had to put the "open new tab" tab into the navigation toolbar.
(Works fine on my other computer, & it drives me nuts to have to use Firefox w 2 different setups...)

Images too dark? colorsync issue or corruption?

I am not sure if this is related to Aperture, or not, but it is impacting the quality of my experience in Aperture...
I have noticed that my MBP2007 display profile seems too dark, and I think there is some preference or application that is loading at startup that is interfering with it. I am using the default LCD profile for the MBP, and have made sure there are no other profiles selected (selecting other profiles does not appear to change the results in any positive way).
Here is what I have observed: I noticed in Aperture that all my images seemed to need correction for being too dark. This is strange, since my Nikon seems to be taking perfectly balanced photos. So I started to dig around and remove all preferences that were associated with any color application I have used. I restarted and noticed that when the desktop image first appeared (a photo I had taken) it looked like it had the correct tonal range. Also, all the images in Aperture looked correct! However, this was short lived, and now each time when I restart, the process starts the same way, with the image appearing correctly at first, but then, as the menu bar started to appear, the image suddenly became too dark, as though a profile had just been applied! I have looked at the Console log, but cannot see anything that looks suspicious in terms of something that may be loading and interfering with the profile. I have tried to delete colorsync preferences, but have not been able to correct the issue again! Any ideas? I am really stumped by this!
Thanks for any help!

Hmm ... interesting. The ICC type MNTR Monitor profile for the display should be shown in the Devices section of the Apple ColorSync Utility.
A generic ICC profile for the make and model of display is shown as Factory Profile and a measured ICC profile for the specific calibration state of the display is shown as Current Profile.
The ICC MNTR profile shown in Apple ColorSync Utility > Devices > Display > Current Profile should be the same as the one shown in System Preferences > Display > Color.
Apple ColorSync 2.5 introduced the VCGT Video Card Gamma Tag that sets the state of the video system to the state described in the measured profile.
This was - and is - intended to do away with the difficulties caused by competing gamma utilities e.g. Knoll Gamma for Photoshop that tried to take control of the video system on startup.
(selecting other profiles does not appear to change the results in any positive way).
The intention of some who were involved in the ICC architecture was that working space profiles would by type SPAC Color Space, but then Apple and Adobe wanted type MNTR Monitor profiles to do this job.
This produced the problem that type MNTR Monitor profiles have to do double duty, both as monitor profiles in which equal amounts of RGB do not produce gray and as working space profiles in which equal amounts of RGB do produce gray.
So, this is why System Preferences > Display > Color shows both measured monitor profiles and monitor profiles for RGB working spaces such as sRGB, eciRGB, adobeRGB and so on and so forth. If you click a profile that is not your measured monitor profile, you reset the video system.
Instead of resetting the video system, as you may be doing, install a good ICC profiling packing, calibrate your monitor, and characterise that state in a monitor profile that will be automatically installed by your ICC profiling package.
Not all problems are configuration problems, some are bugs too, but if one has a sense of what the different dialogues do and how they are supposed to work together then problems produced by system misconfiguration can at least be eliminated in troubleshooting.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

Rented movies are too dark

As I'm typing this I'm watching Gran Turino on my TV from my iPod classic. But the movie picture is too dark. I can't see any of the faces of the actors. I turned my TV brightness all the way up and it doesn't help. Is there a setting on my iPod to fix this? I've had this same problem on others movies in the past. I just can't seem to brighten them up. Thanks in advance!

I've been trying the tip given by the above poster. I have looked through my whole iPod and I can not find what they are talking about. When I double click the center wheel it comes up with a progress bar for the movie and nothing to adjust the brightness.
Any other ideas?

I've lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. The items I had on bookmarks bar are there but I cannot add new ones. Suggestions please?

I have lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. I tried going to safari settings and selecting show bookmarks bar but that is not an option any longer and it only gives show favourites bar. I've only had my iPad for a few months and it's my first apple computer. Likely user error and any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well I feel silly. You were right. And didn't help that my titles for some were too long. Once I got rid of some the newer ones I'd tried to add popped up. Thank you!

IMovie to iDVD--Video too dark, sound too loud--Help!

I created three iMovie projects for my son's swim team, then made a DVD using iDVD. It was fine when viewed in iDVD's preview, but when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark and the sound was way too loud. This is footage taken on a Sony digital camcorder (DCR-TRV11).
I did the iDVD project by starting from scratch from within iDVD, then dragging the iMovie pieces and still images into the iDVD project. The iMovie pieces were prepared by using Share to make them into "full quality" .dv movies.
When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.
Any idea why this is, and to fix it? I don't find a way to reduce the audio volume in iMovie. Maybe there is a workaround using the Relative Volume feature, but all my clips have a similar sound level. Any help will be appreciated.

They is a VERY slight darkening during the MPG-2 compression process (see my pages Digital Video Color Bars Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm and iMovie HD and iDVD 5 Gray Patch Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/gray_patches/graypatches.htm )
I suspect what you are seening is a major difference in brightness/contrast between your computer monitior and your TV set (and in fact you admit this: "When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.") so you aren't seeing an iDVD problem.

Safari 3: RSS Count in Bookmark Bar not updating

Hello
My only issue so far since updating to Leopard (I think I've escaped lightly after reading some of the other posts!) is that the RSS Feed Count does not always update in the Bookmark Bar once I've read the feeds.
Refreshing the page or selecting "View all RSS articles" doesn't seem to fix the issue - but quitting Safari and restarting does fix it.
Has anyone else come across this or know how to fix it?
Tom

My RSS count seems to have resolved itself - it could just be coincidence, but I removed all the feeds I also had in Mail as well as Safari (the novelty wore off!) so now they are only in one place on my system - the bookmarks bar - and it no longer seems to get confused.
Those who also had this problem - were those same feeds in Mail too, and does it resolve itself if you delete them from Mail?
Tom

Why did you increase the space between bookmarks in the bookmark bar

It use to be smaller, so I could get more bookmarks on the browser bookmark bar. There is too much white space between them IMHO.

Delete multiple Bookmarks while keeping Bookmarks Bar and Opening Tabs

Hello.
I want to delete a lot of bookmarks from my Bookmarks Panel, but can only seem to do so one at a time.
I have accumulated hundreds of bookmarks that I don't need. But I want to keep my Bookmarks Bar in which I have a series of folders containing all the Bookmarks I use. I also open Safari in about 11 or so Tabs and I want to keep those too.
Under 'Collections' in my Bookmarks left hand panel I have my Bookmarks Bar and a few other items - History, Bonjour, RSS Feeds etc. I want to keep all of these. But below this group is another very large list of 'Bookmarks'. I'd like to delete all of those bookmarks in one go, or at least in groups of multiple bookmark deletions. But I can't find any way to do so.
Deleting the Bookmarks.plist deletes everything including all my folder-based Bookmarks Bar contents.
Is there any way to select just the extra Bookmarks for deletion?
Thanks.

You did not need to purchase Prariefire for $6.99 to delete multiple bookmarks in Safari. This is a ripoff app for what you can easily do in Safari for free. All you needed to do is select the bookmarks to delete by single tap on your touchpad, or left click on your mouse, and hold down the shift key to select a range of bookmarks to delete; then simply press the "delete" key on your keyboard and the bookmarks will be deleted. If you want to delete various bookmarks not in a single range, simply hold down your command key and select the bookmarks to delete and then press the "delete" key on your kepboard to delete them.

Option to view bookmarks bar as icons in Safari?

This question has been asked many times by the community if you ever used internet explorer you have the option to view bookmarks or favorites as icons only this keeps it neat and tidy plus it is less clunky as safari has it now and then. This needs to be fixed as it it quite annoying to put up with and here are the reaseons why it should have a setting for this for view as icons only.
1. When you click on the show all bookmarks bar bringing you to a bookmarks panel you obviously can see the icons on the bottom left of the page making it possible for the technicians to pull a couple of strings in the program when redesigning the bookmarks bar.
2. If you veiwed the bookmarks bar you can see that its clunky and unorganized and with a touch of OCD in my viens its quite annoying and just too much for me to handle I rather prefer a simple icon to serfice rather than something like this (Youtube Pandora Twitter Yahoo Facebook ....) its not the best but I enjoy using Safari so much because its fast and flexible on computer with only a few minor hiccups I refuse to unistall it and plan to use it for a while.
3. UPDATE AND FIX!!!
