Bring back colored icons!

Love the new iTunes 10 - except the monotone gray icon buttons on the far left side. So much harder to read - there is a reason color icons were a vast improvement over B&W when they were first introduced in the 1980's.
I feel like this is a retro step backwards for no good reason at all.
Bring back the color! (how do I post this to the Apple suggestions section?)

I just downloaded version 10.1 - the description cited 'look and feel improvements'. I was excited about the prospect of colored icons returning as this would be a marked improvement from v10. No dice. I feel ignored by the developers... My complaint is not (really) about aesthetics, but a loss of functionality: the open window does not appear active, which is confusing, and the icons are more difficult to differentiate, particularly on my 13" screen. Anyway, just wanted to voice my displeasure....

Bring back color icons in Dreamweaver (Was:Uninstall latest update?)

I'm brand new to Dreamweaver and using it for a school class, and I really hate the latest update- among other things, I miss my color icons, I was surprised what a huge difference having them makes.
I am using Creative Cloud (CS6) and am hoping somebody could walk me throug the process of uninstalling this update?
If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 on a 64bit system.
Thanks,
Lauren

As I was recently reminded, Dreamweaver is highly extensible. Adobe has some info on this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/index.html (I assume it will be updated for CS6 at some point)
The icons for the menus are located here for Win7 64bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\Objects (Default location. Your install path may vary)
The Common folder (inside of Objects) for example, contains most of the Common Insert icon PNGs, with the exception of the Video and Div PNGs, which are located in Media and Layout, respectively.
Before upgrading back to the Cloud version, I copied the “Objects” folder (with the color icons) to a backup location on my computer. Once Dreamweaver was upgraded to version 12.1, I replaced the new gray icons with the color backups. There are several folders of icons to go through.
As for the new icons that do not have color counterparts, I used Photoshop - still a work in progress.
This may be a temporary solution to a permanent problem however (as far as future updates are concerned), unless Adobe, or someone, is willing to package these icons up into an extension. I’m definitely looking into this myself, because I prefer choice.

Bring back colored icons in Lion's side bar!

Where can I complain to Apple about their gutting of icon identifiablity in Lion? I tried the 3rd party fix (Colorful Icons) and it was buggy. I uninstalled it. Too risky on the system level.
Who's the brainiac at Apple who decided that gray standard icons on the sidebar -- and echoed in all applications -- would be an improvement? This new normal is hanging up my productivity. Where do I complain so Apple will hear?

OK. I installed the app both ways, and it was worse on my system than the linked version given to me by a friend: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/apple/three-ways-to-fix-os-x-lions-finder-sidebar/1103 8
This time it corrupted Quark Xpress's Preferences and the program wouldn't open. I had to trash its Preferences and reinstate all of them. Great. When I installed the boot-requiring version of this app Suitcase Fusion detected a conflict (saw it as an old verison of itself) and wouldn't open.
Of the programs that would open, only the Adobe family recognized colorful icons. Microsoft programs did not. I'm running the latest update of everything on Lion 10.7.4.
So I uninstalled this app and made sure manually that all is out.
I summation: not successful, to say the least.
Apple should address this issue, NOT a third party. Are they even listening?

Hate Lion grey icons, want to get back colored icons

Just switched (a test on a seperate HD) to Lion. Like most people I use customised colored Icons as part of navigating quuickly. In the sidebare it is all boringly gray.
I seen some of the discussions about this hot topic but found no permanaet solutions. Anybody know any?

I also wanted colours back!!
I got this from a colleague: go to http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/get-color-sidebar-icons-back-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lio n-finder-windows/
These are the steps:
Download and install SIMBL, which you can get here
Download the ColorfulSidebar SIMBL plugin (direct link) or visit the developers home and mount the DMG file
Move the ColorfulSidebar.bundle into the following SIMBL plugin folder:
~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/
Either login and logout of Mac OS X, or just kill the Finder through the Terminal to relaunch it:
killall Finder
Works like a charm, I'm a happy -colourful- Maccer again!

Bring back the color in our lives

Bring back the color in my life. Office 2013 stinks. I have to take my computer in a closet to see the screen!!! Bring back color and contrast so I don't have to work in the dark. What were you thinking? Apple tried this with
their iPhones and failed. You did too. Discrimination to those of us over 40.

Hi,
To change the background and color in Office 2013, in any Office Application, we can go to FILE -> Options -> General -> Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office, select Office Theme -> OK.
It's true the fact is we only have White, Light Gray and Dark Gray in Office 2013, which is complained about by some of our customers. I feel really sorry if this has brought you any inconvenience. So far I haven't heard whether more colors will be added
to Office 2013, but please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.

Stop taking away colour (color) icons!!!

Please can someone tell me a way to bring back the colour icons that Apple keeps stealing from me?
First iTunes, then OSX, mail and Safari, now Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 (P.S. if you, like me, hate the loss of easy to find and generally more visually appearling colour icons etc do not upgrade to aperture 3.2.3.).
I simply cannot understand why, 20 years after introducing the first colour Mac, Apple want to drag us back to a less visually appealing and less user friendly dull and dreary colour scheme for all their apps. The human eye and brain work well together to quickly find what you are looking for with colour. Black and white means that you have to analyse the icon or the word beside it - totally counterintuitive - slowing down my workflow.
BRING BACK COLOUR ICONS APPLE - YOU ARE DRIVING ME AWAY AS A CUSTOMER.
To quote the fantastic Sheldon Cooper... We could also stop using the letter M, but I think that idea is isguided and oronic.
Seriously Apple wake up - keep making forward steps - not backward ones.

Acrobat 9 standard. The adobe inons on my desktop turned white, how can I bring back the normal pdf icons?

Acrobat 9 standard. The adobe inons on my desktop turned white, how can I bring back the normal pdf icons?

Please don't post the same question mutliple times! I have deleted your duplicate post.
Have you tried a System Restore to a time before the change occurred?

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Aperture - how can I get my colored icons back ??? I don´t like it grey in grey !!!

Hello,
is there any chance to restore the colorful icons in Aperture 3?
Whatever possible reason the developers may have had, to make
it all grey in grey... I don´t like it that way !!!
Just the same like the loss of colorful icons since OSX Lion...
In my opinion it was much better before, as the combination
of pictograms + color is much more intuitive !!!

The icons are stored inside the Aperture Application package, in the folder
Contents > Resources
If you want the color back, copy all colored icons (all the tiff images inside this folder) from a previous Aperture version to this folder in the current Aperture version.
To reveal this folder, select the Aperture application in the Finder, cntl-click it, select "Show Package Contents".
But consider carefully, if you really want to patch the Application package. You have to be very careful, and you will have to do it over and over again, with each new update.

Can I get color icons back in mail?

I have seen the hacks to get color icons back for Finder and iTunes. Does anyone know how to get them back in Mail?

If you right click on the Mail application in the Applications folder and choose "show package contents" then open the Resources folder, you will find the icons. I don't recommend mucking with them but theoretically you should be able to modify them or replace them with ones of your choosing. Typically I'd test this idea out before posting (i.e., change an icon and see what happens) but I can live with the icons as they are and I don't want to mess something up on my Mac. Maybe someone will make colored icons and post them for others to install.

Why on earth did apple replace the color icons in aperture with monochrome icons!

I really do not like the look of the new monochrome icons. The interface looks broken and buttons are hard to find. Why did apple do this? Please Apple, give users a choice between monochrome and color icons!

Look at the more like this at the right of this post. There are many threads on this.
It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.
Send feedback to Apple from the main Aperture menu bar:

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.<br />
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab.<br />
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />
