Canvas color won't change, only remains white.

I opened Illustrator and my canvas color is white. I tried changing it in the user interface but it just remains white. I checked and unchecked Overprint preview and nothing. I think maybe I hit a key or somehting but does anyopne know how I can change the canvas color back to a dark gray?

File >> Document Setup
Turn on simulate colored paper
Set top swatch to color to a dark grey
Click ok
The only really use for this is if you have colored paper/canvas, is this what you want. If not just dray a dark grey rectangle adn send to back.

ICal calendar color won't change

I've tried changing the color for my Work calendar in iCal multiple times. I've done it on my iPad, iMac and finally at the iCloud website. Each time I try to change it, it defaults to purple. Any ideas about this? Thanks in advance.

I just ran into this and it's maddening. I've had the same color Work calendar for years (green), and now it's purple and won't stay green.

CS3 Table Background Color Won't Change

I have been inserting tables and doing the CSS for them fine
until after I inserted a Flash object. All tables inserted after
the Flash object have a medium blue background??? I can't even
intiate a new CSS rule to change the table background color... it
just stays this way!?!? Very strange. Anybody else experience this?
BTW: I've restarted my machine, worked on tables on other
pages and haven't experienced this issue... it is only after the
insertion of the flash object. Is there something I'm missing??
Thanks,
Chris
Here is the code inserted by the Flash object placement just
in case this helps any:

Let's see the page, please.

Folding gutter color won't change

Hello,
I use a black background when coding, and the Folding gutter does not seem to respect the background color assignment in Coldfusion Builder. So the line numbers is black, then the white folding gutter then finally the black code window. The latest version of Eclipse has fixed this bug, but when using the standalone CF Builder or the CF Perspective as a plugin the problem persists.
Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? I am not too familiar with how Eclipse works, but it seems that CF Builder may be using some older eclipse code base.
Thanks.
Umb

Am I still the only one coding on a black background?

Thinkpad T60p with Win XP - Lost color on external monitor (only black & white)

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T60P, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost color on my external monitor (connected by VGA cable)
I have done a lot of testing, and found a couple of strange things around this:
* when using docking station with two monitors, only monitor nr "1" inCatalyst Control Center shows colors, but not "2".
* When using external monitor (or projector) I don't get color
* When showing video on the external monitor, color works(!) This is only on some type of videos, I think. Flash videos (ie. YouTube does not show colors)
* When getting a bluescreen, the external monitor displays bluescreen with colors. When rebooting after bluescreen, colors were working while booting (windows logo with colors), but as soon as XP was up, colors were gone(!)
* I have tried updating to the latest graphics driver (79d533ww.exe), and all the settings in Catalyst Control Center / Control Panel
As a result of these findings, I beleive it must be a software problem, but since upgrading the drivers didn't work, I don't know what to try next.
I see also that there are other people experiencing the same problems, but I can't find any solution to this problem.

Cats seem to have a strong affinity for that display mode — remarkably often we hear that they've typed in the correct keystroke combo for it, and yet they never seem to set it back to normal after using the computer. Not very considerate, but you know cats: consideration isn't part of the package.

CS6, windows 7, selected points don't show, color won't change, just acting weird.

I hope someone can help with this issue. Illustrator CS6 has suddenly decided to stop displaying certain elements of the file. For example, if I select a path, it does NOT show any nodes/points nor does it give me a visual indication that the item is selected. If I try to add a point to an existing shape, it doesn't show that it has been added, or even if it has been added. Color selection is also not responding as expected.
I have reset preferences, reinstalled and updated. Don't know what else to try.
Any suggestions?

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Hi, The options bar shows sample size 101 by 101 Average. That was my problem. When I was troubleshooting in order to try to explain to you what was happening, I noticed that when I sampled my models teeth, it gave me a color a bit lighter than her lipstick as my foreground color in my tool box. That started me thinking in the correct way. I didn't realize that my sample size had somehow gotten switched from point sample to 101 by 101 average. I appreciate the help. Thank you.

How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp My printer will not print anything in color. How can Iget my printer to print in color? I can only print in black and white. It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

My page color chaned to blue when I was typing, I want to change back to white

I am using the default firefox theme 9.1 version. I was typing and must have hit some odd key combination and now all my browser screns have a greenish blue background. I want to change it back to white, but following the options menu for color does not change it

Does this still happen if you restart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? For more instructions, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
Does this only affect Firefox, or does it affect other programs on your computer too?

Changing only column header color

Hello,
I changed the background color of the tabel to white. But column headers are also appearing as white. How can I change the color of column headers only. I tried several combinations...no luck.
Thanks,
Sunita.

Hi Sunitha,
You do like below.
1)In the Table Column delete the dafault Table header.
2)Insert FixedYTopCell to the above column and insert TextView to FixedYTopCell.
3)Change the cell Design Property of FixedYTopCell to grouplevel2
4)Change the SemanticColor Property of TextView to negative or accroding to your.
That will change header column color

I have changed my background canvas color... but it hasn't changed. HELP

I have changed my background canvas color too White through the preferences system... but it hasn't changed. Can anyone help me with this as I'm tearing my hair out!!

I guess that you should have first done this and can even do it even now:
Have the entire project selected first; then open your preferences and choose your white background. This should allow your entire work to have a white background.
That is NOT the way it is supposed to work. The background color preference is global to the application, it does not work on a project by project basis. This preference setting determines what FCP X displays in the Viewer in areas where you have no content (or where the content is transparent) - as in the present case, where the photos do not cover the whole viewer area.
You can easily confirm this. Open some project with a transparent area, and set the background to say, white.
You should see white showing through any transparent area (that's what the OP was expecting, and it should happen!).
Now close this project, open something else. Switch to, say, checkerboard background.
Open the previous project and see the checkerboard (not white!) background.
One workaround for the present problem is to place a custom generator behind the content, and set its color to white. But of course this should not have been necessary.

Adjusting PDF properties changes canvas color?

When I adjust properties on a PDF the canvas color changes from nearly black to bluish gray. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or a way to change the color back?
I'm not talking about the background color of the PDF page itself (which can be accessed at Document > Background > Add/Replace). I'm talking about the color that surrounds the page and is the screen background in Full Screen Mode.
I have tried this in both in Acrobat 8.3.1 and Acrobat 11.0.0 for the Mac and the same thing happens.
Thanks!
Chris

Thanks! Selecting "Hide window controls" does seem to be the only trigger.
The good thing is that the effect is reversible (deselecting "Hide window controls" returns the background color to what it was before).
Is this a bug? I don't see the point of it as a feature. For that matter, it would be useful to have background choices beyond these two colors.

Change canvas color

Hey im currently trying to make a title with a background other then black, do I have to add in an actual second clip or can I just change the canvas color?

You need to put a color generator underneath the video clips. Changing the color of the canvas is only for display purposes.

Changing Canvas Color

How do I change the canvas color in Illustrator CS4? I do not want to alter the Artboard color, just the canvas. Does anyone know how?

There is no "canvas" in Illustrator. This is not a raster imaging program.
In Document Setup, Transparency pane, you can use the transparency grid as a fake "background" by setting both parts of the grid to the same color. Effectively, this makes the Illustrator window display as the color instead of white. But this is just an on-screen display, originally intended as a means to view transparency effects. It does not print. It is not the same thing you think of in terms of the "canvas color" in a raster program.
If you want your document to actually have a colored background, draw one. Get the Rectangle Tool and draw a large color-filled rectangle. Sent it to the back and lock it. Or put it on its own Layer and lock the Layer.
In Illustrator, you create and work with objects, not regions of different-colored pixels as in a raster program. If there is no object, there is no color, because there is nothing to which to apply the color.
