The problem that I am having is in trying to specify the internal color of the cpu graph for the average cpu activity:
${cpugraph cpu0 40,200 237BEE -l}
I want to keep the boarder of the graph the same darkish grey color as the rest of the widget but I want to change the color of the portion of the graph inside the boarder to a blue color, e.g. the hex color in the code above, or more specifically to match the blue that I am using in my Archey and prompt in urxvt.
I looked up the Conky variable defintions for how to do this and apparently you specifiy gradientcolor1 and gradientcolor2 after the size definition, similar to how I have done it in my conifg (I know that I am only using one color in the above code but it is still not working even when I define two different colors).
Here is a picture of my desktop:
http://ompldr.org/vZzR6dw
As you can see the internal portion of the graph is the same grey color as the majority of the widget. I searched extensively on the forums and Google for a solution but everything that I try doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

I hope this is 'fixed' by Apple in a mail.app update.
Let them know what you want via the feedback channel:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
But Mail has never had a provision for setting the default font, size, or color in its preferences and there is no indication this will ever be changed.

Still cannot change radio caption color by script

Hello,
I've been trying to follow advice seen in other threads when developers wanted to inactivate radio button choices by script, and also turn the caption grey. What I'm finding is I can deactivate the choice but I just cannot turn the caption grey.
If the exclusion group is named "MyRadioChoice" and the choices are (say) "Choice1", "Choice2", "Choice3" and due to other user input Choice3 becomes inapplicable, then the wisdom is this should work:
MyRadioChoice.Choice3.access = "readOnly";
MyRadioChoice.Choice3.caption.font.fill.color = "192,192,192";
The first statement works, the choice can no longer be clicked. But the second does not work, I just can't change the caption color. THe script does not throw any errors, it just plain doesn't work. Can anybody help?

You were right. That problem was driving me crazy. Thank you for the solution.

Can you change the Graphs Colors in BEx Web Analyzer?

Dear All,
I have few queries I have developed via BEx Query Designer which I am opening from BEx Web Analyzer in portals. Unfortunately the colors in the Graphs are not very pleasant. I was wondering if there is a way we can customize the colors which is given by the standard.
I am aware that we can do this is BEx Report Designer. But I would like to do this is BEx Query Designer.
Please help..
Cheers,
Shanka

Hi Shanka,
There is no option as such in BEx Query Designer.
You can manipulate and play with colors only in Report designer or Web Application Designer.
In Bex Query designer, you will find only exceptions which are related to colors but chart colors cannot be manipulated in query designer.
If you are executing the report in workbook, you can change accordingly as it is excel.
Regards,
KK.

Cannot change JToggleButton background color when Windows XP theme is used

I wanted to change the background of a JToggleButton when it's pressed. I tried a few things, such as
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.RED);
setting button's background, button's UI.
but nothing worked.
so I tried changing desktop theme from Windows XP to Windows Classic, then i was able to set button's background.
The following is a simple test program, by switching theme, the toggleButton looks differently.
Does anyone know how I can change JToggle button's background color under Windows XP theme?
Thank you in advance!
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ToggleTest {
    public static void createGUI(){
        JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("Test");
        button.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
        JFrame testFrame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
        testFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        testFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
        testFrame.getContentPane().add(button);
        testFrame.pack();
        testFrame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            //UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.RED);
        catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                createGUI();
}

class myToggleBtn extends JToggleButton {
String s;
public myToggleBtn(String str, Boolean sel) {
    super(str, sel);
    s = str;
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    if (this.isSelected()) {
         int w = getWidth();
         int h = getHeight();
         g.setColor(Color.green); //selected color
         g.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
         g.setColor(Color.darkGray); //selected foreground color
         g.drawString(s, (w - g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(s))/2 + 1, (h + g.getFontMetrics().getAscent())/2 - 1);
}

Change line graph color to red when negative?

I've got a line graph charting my budget. Anyone know if there is a way to have the line be red if it is negative, and the standard blue if it is in the positive?
I didn't see any sort of option when I briefly looked around Numbers - but I thought I'd ask.

I believe your thinking about the "color red if negative" type thing you can do in cell formatting. I couldn't find a way of doing any kind of conditional formatting in charts. I had to use a rule to do it in cell formatting.
If someone else knows a way, I hope they will tell us. I can't find it.

Changing system font colors?

Hi community,
I have been always a lover of dark backgrounds with light color fonts because it's much better for reading, at least for me.
1) Is there any way to change the way the system fonts color is displayed? I could change the background color using the options of the finder to a background gray color of 333333, but cannot change the font color to something around white, in order to get a better contrast between background and text.
2) It's possible to do the same in text editors?
Thanks in advance,
Mart

Hi,
Happens in the finder that the fonts are black, and I would like to change the font color from black (default) to white. If you take a look to the new Snow Leopard, you will notice that some texts are white over a dark gray background. That's aesthetically super cool, and much better for reading. Here is an snapshot of this thing: http://www.zone-numerique.com/uploads/News/090216/capturesnow_leopard_dock450.jpg You can see how good is the contrast with white over dark gray. I would love to have the whole OS set this way, instead white & light gray (default).
Thanks,
Mart

Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

Cannot change Color mode

Hello,
I was provided a file from a customer that is RGB. I need to change it to cmyk for printing. HOwever I cannot change the color mode. All my options in the Mode section under Image are greyed out. I have never seen this happen before.. Here is a screen shot of the Mode.
The image has been flattened. I am using PS cs6 on a mac. I have never seen this happen before. Does any one have any ideas?

Strange. Could the file permissions be set to lock you out?
In the Finder, do a Get Info in the file and look at the permissions. If at the bottom, your name says "read only," then you need to change the permissions to allow you to read AND write.
To change permissions, use BatChmod, but be careful to change the permissions on that file ONLY.
It's FREE at:
http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html
... And if that doesn't solve the problem, can you share the file?

Michael,
You might also be able to customize the style sheet associated with the report. The TestStand Help provides some information about how to customize ATML or XML style sheets to change report colors based on the status of test steps.
Please take a look at the following topics; are these helpful?
