Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari!  I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away.  Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme.  And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white.  I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey.  OR white on ANY light color.  In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast.  For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white.  It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages.  Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue.  I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white.  I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue. 
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities!  Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system? 
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page.  Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small. 
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem.  For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way.  I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts! 
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files!  I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages!  I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans. 
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period.  Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages.  A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone!  The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music.  We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks! 
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

  • "You can be reached by iMessage at" the email is grey colored. Why and how can I use this email to receive iMessages?

    When trying to select an email address to receive iMessages I can't seem to select an email. It's in a light grey color. I can't figure out how to get it to be in a normal color so I can highlight it to use for iMessages. It's my son's iPod Touch and his iPod Touch is hooked up to my account. Does this make a difference. I have most of the iCloud stuff turned off so we don't have to share a lot of stuff.

  • Can anything be done about the slowness??

    I really am trying to invest heavily in Intune as a tool, but loading the admin console in IE takes about 10 minutes. Can anything be done about this? I don't imagine it is a client side issue but figured worth an ask.

    I agree with Jason. It's not instant but certainly doesn't take very long either. I would suggest that you may have a Silverlight problem. Intune can be administered from any Silverlight-enabled web browser.

  • The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone from my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone form my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    Your basic panel must have been accidentally deselected.
    Simply right-click on one of the other panels e.g. Tone Curve and choose basic again - see image below.
    You can also select solo mode, if you prefer to work in one panel at a time with the others collapsing automatically when you click on another tab.

  • HT1689 Can anything be done if my iPod was stolen, and I still have it registered under my account?

    I never unregistered my iPod from my account, and it was recently stolen.. If I still have the serial code, can anything be done? and how do I go about getting it back if I find where it is? All passwords have been changed, and I DID NOT have iCloud on.

    Well since you failed to do anything to protect it such as Find My Phone and app and iCloud that doesn't help much either.

  • The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting.  (Restrictions are not on.)

    The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting.  (Restrictions are not on.)  Do you know where I go to change the setting to allow me to "always allow" cookies?

    Hi lisaarnett111,
    If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:

  • How can i use dsadm to change the ldap port?

    I have a ldap with port 1389,I changed it to 389,now I can not start it because it is a non root user.
    Now I want to change the port back to 1389,but I can not use dsconf because the server is not running.
    How can i do now? How can i use dsadm to change the port?
    Thank u very much.

    My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude/impolite.
    I just wanted to emphasize that in a situation where a Directory Server doesn't even start, you cannot interact with the live server to configure the new port (either talking LDAP or otherwise). All you can do in that case won't be related with the LDAP (that's just the name of the protocol): either assigning network privileges to the user, or changing the Directory Server configuration file.
    The other thing I'd like to outline (and this could take a separate thread ;-) ), is that semantically, I'd prefer talking of a Directory Server instead of an LDAP Server because the former is 'something' providing Directory Services, whereas the latter is just the name of the protocol we use to interact with the server; but this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
    that's all folks!

  • Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK.  IPad 4 ios 7

    As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
    Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
    I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
    HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
    Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    Vancouver22  Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
    Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
    My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
    The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
    Thanks!

  • How to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro?

    What is the best way to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro? I have some clips which are to green. I would like if possible something which might resemble the Camera Raw dialogue in Photoshop. Any way of measuring color (RGB values)?

    There is some specific help in this trainng book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Correction-Studio/dp/0321635280/
    When using Color Corrector 3-Way to correct for a green tint, the bullet points are something like this:
    1) After loading the clip into the Viewer and applying the CC3W filter to the clip, open your scopes and move the window so you can see the Viewer (with the CC3W tab open) and the scopes
    2) First, if necessary, adjust the white and black levels using the video level sliders below the white and black color wheels (I use the slider above the scopes to make the trace in th4 scopes as bright as it will go without blooming)
    3) Looking at the Parade scope, the idea is to balance the whites, mids, and blacks on each color display (red, green and blue). So you watch the Parade and drag the dot that is in the center of each color wheel (starting with the whites) away from the color of your tint (in your case, green). Drag the dot until the highest portions in all three Parade displays are as even as you can make them
    4) Then do the same with the mids, using the Mids color wheel, moving its dot away from green
    5) Do the same thing with the blacks
    6) Double check the image on an external video display that is properly adjusted using color bars from Final Cut
    NOTE: This short reply is not sufficient to fully explain this technique, and you really need to understand Color Theory before doing this anyway. That's why I recommended the training book.

  • I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

    I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

    Can you explain this better, there appears to be a strange work flow going on,  have you imported PowerPoint into Keynote or you are trying to export to PowerPoint?
    There are many users who have trouble with a recorded voice over going to Quicktime.
    Try this repair, its sorted out many similar problems in the past.
    Complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and           click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    Please report back to let us know if this helped.
