Change AE CC 2014.2 new Highlight color

Hi,
I like the new UI improvements, but the new Highlight-Color is cancer for my eyes and is more distracting than helpful.
Is there a way to change this?
Cheers - Michael

There are quite a few threads on this already - here and in the Premiere Pro forum.
Many people agree with you - me included.  I find it so bad that I will be reverting back to the previous version prior to my next lengthy AE session.
I think an urgent patch is required.  We can't wait until the next official update - or we'll all have migrated to a competitor's product

  • Flattening annotations (comments) changes highlight color in Acrobat, but not Reader

    I have a pdf document with multiple comments consisting of sentences highlighted with different colors. The colors are the default, bright colors in the default commenting "Highlighter Tool Properties" palette. When I flatten with either Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 or X (Tools - Print Production - Preflight - flatten annotations and form fields) the colors of the highlights change from the normal 'bright' colors to dull 'pantone'-like colors. Interestingly, if I view the flattened file with Reader, the colors are fine (back to the bright colors), but when viewing with Acrobat Pro they are the dull pantone colors. It is as if there is a 'flag' in the file telling Acrobat (but not Reader) to change the displayed highlight colors.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.5
    Does anyone know how I might change this so that the highlight colors do not change when flattening?
    Thanks

    Well, I was able to answer my own question. You have to go into "Flattener Preview" and change "Color Space" from the default "none" to something else, in my case, "Device RGB". Also, make sure to set page range.

  • Changing the highlight color of a JMenuBar

    I'm trying to change the highlight color of a JMenuBar. I�m using the METAL lookandfeel which by default highlights with a purple color. I would also like to know how its done on a JTable, I assume it is quite similar.

    UIDefaults uid = new com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel().getDefaults();</code>
    Note that this will print the default properties for the Windows Look&Feel, not the Metal Look&Feel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • New html tag highlight color

    Can someone tell me the name of the css selector that is the new html tag highlighting that Edge Code just released.  I need to adjust my theme css file because the new pale blue highlighting makes it difficult to read the tag (ie: divs, script, li, ul's, ect..). I assume it's new because it was not highlighting the html tags before I updated.

    I dont get an index.html link when I paste http://localhost:9235/ into chrome.  I just get a link to (/devtools/devtools.html?ws=localhost:9235/devtools/page/12c31149cd31cce235fc4998180602cd) which opens a blank html page with nothing inside the body tag.
    I changed the .cm-tag css property but that doesn't actually change the highlight color, it just changes the default non selected state. The tag in which I'm trying to overwrite has a hex code of #cfead6 which I can find no reference to in the program files or any theme css files. The image below is the highlight that occurrs when the cursor is inside the html tag.

  • Is there a way to change the highlight color for buttons?

    I swear, iDVD has got to be the most counter-intuitive program Apple has made in recent memory. I'm a huge Apple fan but this program makes me want to throw my computer at the freaking wall.
    All I want to do is change the ugly yellow highlight color of the buttons (which appears when you select them) in the DVD menu. I'm making a wedding video, and the DVD menu is all silver, gray, black and white, so the yellow color that it defaults to looks hideous.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Good day Glenn,
    You may want to consider upgrading from Acrobat 9.5 Standard to Acrobat X Pro.  Acrobat X Professional has the redaction tool which is really easy to use. 
    You could also accomplish the workflow you described in your question.  If you right-click the tool-bar, and enable the Properties Bar, you can change the color of your highlighter tool to black.  Then you can 'highlight' the text you would like to eliminate.  After you're done, print the document to the Adobe PDF printer with 'Document and Markup' selected under the 'Comments and Forms' drop-down menu to 'refry' your PDF.
    Hope this helps!
    Kind regards,

  • How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

    Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
    Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
    I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

    I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

  • How do I change the highlight color of my PDF file?

    On my PDF files, I'm able to highlight text, but cannot figure out how to change the color of the highlight.  I've got Adobe Reader, and also paid to upgrade - but honestly, I'm not sure which program I have.  This is the most confusing application I've ever used!

    Hey,
    You are most welcome
    Yes, you can change existing highlight color also.
    For this, go to 'Comment List' on the right hand side and select any one comment.
    Now, press 'cmd+A' to select all the comments in the list and then 'control click' to choose 'Properties' from the pop down.
    Choose highlight color as desired from 'Highlight Properties' dialog box.
    Please check and let me know.

  • How do I change the highlight color of forms?

    I'm using Acrobat Pro X.
    I need the form highlights to be transparent when another user opens the pdf, views and fills individual forms out.
    Trying to keep this very simple for end user. I don't want to give the user instruction on how to go to preferences and change highlight color. 
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    Wow!  I was trying too hard I guess.   Will this bypass the preferences set
    on another users computer?
    Thanks,

  • How do I change the highlight color?

    When I'm working on my document in Pages, I often do a Search (command-F) to quickly find a word or phrase that appears somewhere else in the document. It works great, but it highlights the word/phrase in light gray, which I have trouble seeing. Is there a way to change the highlight color to yellow, or any other color, making the word/phrase easier to see?

    You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • Change XP Look and Feel Rollover Highlight Color

    Is it possible to change the orange rollover highlight color that is used in the Windows XP Look and Feel? If so, how? I want to change it in once place and see the results on every component in my application.

  • Changing the Preview highlight color

    When you search a PDF file with Preview, you get a list of results in the drawer. Selecting a result goes to that page and highlights the search text. However, the highlight color is a dull gray and is often very difficult to locate quickly, especially on a page full of small text.
    Does anyone know if this color can be changed, for example to imitate the easily visible color used by the Firefox find command? There's no obvious preference for this, but perhaps there's something hidden in the preference file?

    Preview follows the system default, which sets the highlight color of inactive windows to gray and the active window to the color set in Appearance.
    When you search, you can use Tab/ShiftTab to toggle focus between the drawer (containing the search instances) and the main page display pane.

  • Change the default highlight color

    In the previous version of Acrobat, you used to be able to select a default color for highlighting. I use color-coded highlighting a lot and I can't find a way to change the default highlight color in Acrobat DC. It looks like the only choice I have is to change the highlight color of each highlight individually.  Where did the highlight color preference go?

    After changing the color of a highlight right-click it and click "Make current properties default".
