Change Appearance Color in Elements 6

Hi,
New to Elements 6 and what a surprise. My eyes can't get used to working with a black background. I'm told there is a slider somewhere that will change the appearance of Elements 6 from Black to Gray in both the editor and organizer similar to Elements 5. Would someone please tell me how to access them?
Thanks,
John

I just upgraded to Elements v7 from v4. I HATE the balck background. Is there any way to change it to a lighter background? Dear ADOBE, why would any company purposely make its product hard to read and more difficult to operate by making the background black? Besides, over 95% of all photo uses (webpages, printed documents, newsletters, etc) are printed on white or ligher colored backgrounds. Why wouldn't you allow us to work with an image in an envornment it is goign to be used? Ever hear of testing the product with focus groups of users. I can't remotely image that users prefer the black background. Idiots!

Changing Appearance Color

Is there anyway to change the appearance color on a macbook running the latest update of tiger. Like when you go to system preferences and appearance

Not sure exactly what you're asking, as going to system preferences -> appearance is where you change the color.

How do I change the color of the background (working) space in Adobe Elements 11 from that awful olive green color to light gray or black or white?

How do I change the color of the background (working) space in Adobe Elements 11 from that awful olive green color to light gray or black or white?

Thanks so much for responding! I tried right clicking on the space around the image and nothing happens. No drop down menu appears for me to select a different color! Appreciate your help . . . Diane

Is there a way to disallow web pages to modify foreground color of elements if background of those elements was not changed as well (and vice versa)?

I have very sensible defaults for my display; i.e. I have dark GTK scheme (dark gray background, light gray text) that suits me way more when working on my computer while it's dark around. I, however, like looking at web pages as how they were mean to be seen. Unfortunately, most of web designers don't think about anyone having non-default colors set up.
Example one ( http://www.cedok.cz ):
This site's CSS style has "color: rgb(45, 45, 45);" for the whole <body> but for <select> elements there is no "background-color" set. This means there is a select box rendered with dark gray background and dark gray foreground (text color). This is pretty badly readable (obviously).
To mention one particular element from this site: e.g. <select id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderLevySloupec_HledaniMultiTab1_HledaniZajezdu1_ddlTypZajezdu">
Example two ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop/customize/form ):
On this page (where I'm currently filling in this question) the <textarea id="id_content"> has "background: ... rgb(255, 255, 255);" set, but with my default font color, this textarea is rendered as light gray text on a white background. Again, pretty unreadable (and eye-hurting).
I can provide screenshots and more reasoning if needed.
I'm asking if there is (or might be) an option (even disabled by default) or at least an add-on which would keep default colors unless both foreground and background colors were specified. I think this might make Firefox very usable for many people which like to have their default colors configured.
In case you won't be able to help me by fixing this, could you redirect me to the right place where I could get this requested in a way that might be really possible to happen (bugzilla?).
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm sorry, no. I don't want any addon that customizes colors, I want to use default colors and only prohibit changing them unless both background and foreground colors are changed.
I have made no color changes WRT to Firefox *only*, I just changed the default for the whole toolkit (gtk in this case). The thing I need is to disable changing *only one* property out of two ({back,fore}ground). Whenever the second one gets set as well, this new setting (both of them) may get reflected, but not before that. It'd be nice to keep this when changing the colors back (deleting the style), but that's not necessary.
I hope that's understandable, feel free to ask for if that's not the case.
To express what I mean a bit more precisely, see the attached image. In that image there are four textareas (one of the elements that gets affected by this). First one is a default one (which I want to have if the page has nothing set), the second one is nicely modified to fit for example to a blue-ish page (this one I like as well).
Second row of textareas shows how the final element looks like if the page has only one of these elements set up. First one changes background without changing font color, the second one vice versa. Both of them are very badly readable, especially with low lighting around.
This is consequently the same case when it comes to default page background which I cannot set at all, because too many pages have only "color:" set without changed background and that is completely messed up then. Going to extremes, I might mention all color-related modifications (see how ugly the borders look when the background is changed and nothing is done to these borders, their size and color is kept default), but I understand that's too much.

Changing the Color of an Object in Elements 4.0

Neither of the two methods documented in Elements 4.0 to change the color of an object seem to work on my object. It is a fleur-de-lis that I extracted from a PDF an artist made for me some time ago. It's now black and I want to make it gold. What am I doing wrong?

Harold McDougal wrote:
The first is to select Enhance, Adjust Color, Change Color, select the color to be changed with the eye dropper and the color to change to in the bottom window. Then select okay. Okay. In my case, nothing happens.
The color replacement command doesn't work on pure black or white.
If the design is black over white, try using a solid color fill and one of the lighten blend modes.
How?
Sample the gold color you want and have it as the foreground color chip. Add a solid color adjustment layer over your black and white design. The color should automatically be the foreground color in your tool box. Since should have changed this swatch to the desired shade of gold, it should be gold. Now, for the magic. If you change the blend mode of the solid color fill layer to "lighten", "screen", "linear dodge", or "lighter color", the black will be replaced by your gold.
Note: I'm not sure which if any of the Elements versions includes the "lighter color" blend mode so if you can't find that one...don't panic.

ScrollPane - Changing various colors and appearance

I am trying to change the color layout of my ScrollPane boxes. My website (removed) has a clean, white background. The default white and light grey color of the standard ScrollPane scheme blends in too much. I would like to change the color of the vertical scrollbar so that it stands out more. Also, maybe have the background of the text box a light blue hue with black lettering to give it some "pop" also.
I am running Flash CS5 in AS 2. I have read on another website to do the following in ActionScript:
ScrollPane.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange")
ScrollPane.setStyle("borderStyle", "none")
ScrollPane.setStyle("scrollTrackColor", 0CC333)
ScrollPane.setStyle("symbolColor", FF00FF)
ScrollPane.setStyle("symbolDisabledColor", FFFF00)
This did not work.
Look at the bottom of the website for "Terms - Credits - Policies". On this page there are three scrollPanes. This is where I want to create these colorful ScrollPanes. Please help. If you want me to send you screenshots, I can do that, but looking at the live website might be all you need. By the way, I am a novice in ActionScripting. Thanks. djm

Thank you. We are one step closer....
Here is what I have done with its results.
I removed the action scripting in the ScrollPane page noted in previous replies. I left in your original step of "backgroundColor". This is the only step that works. I altered the "ThemeColor" from "haloBlue" to "haloOrange" to see if the buttons change, and they do. So that is a good thing. I then removed the scripting altogether because they are not the corect color selections for my website.
Now, I followed your suggestions found on both links noted above. There must be something I am missing.
I opened the HaloTheme.FLA file and FLASH opened it in a separate window. From that window, I located "VScrollBarAssets" movie clip. I dragged that movie clip into my document's library. FLASH created a new folder with the following format:
Flash UI Components 2 > Themes > MMDefault > Scrollbar Assets
In the last folder, VScrollBarAssets Movie Clip exists with "States" and "Elements" folders.
I am able to change the colors in "VScrollBarAssets", but when I test the movie (either by Publishing (F12) or selecting "Control -Test Movie"), there is no change in the tested version.
I do the same by changing the colors of "ScrollThemeColor1" and "ScrollThemeColor2" in Elements folder. Still no change when tested.
I made the color choices a brown color to make it obvious. The default light blue and grey colors remain. What am I missing? THANKS!! djm

Customizing Cursor Color and/or appearance: Does anyone know if you can change cursor color?

Customizing Cursor Color and/or appearance: Does anyone know if you can change cursor color in Mountain Lion? Any software for customizing and saving different cursors for Mountain Lion? Already have cursor size changed, but would like more options. Are more cursor customization options coming in future Mac OS X versions?

There may be some haxies/3rd party s/w that can do this, but I've not heard of them.
Customisation is limited on macs, unless you start hacking deep into the coreservices of the system - dodgy at best and almost certainly to get reset on the next update from Apple central
Think different? Nooo....that was just a slogan.

How do I change the color of the users name after they sign in?

I am trying to change the color of the users name after they have signed in on the top right hand corner. When you hove over the login it shows up "Welcome (Users name) Log Out", The "welcome" and "log out" are in white and I know how to change them, but trying to find out how to change the name so it appears a different color is getting the better of me. Please help.

Hi blackroseuk7,
You can use firebug to inspect the element to see what div to target and from there you can set the color with CSS.
Hope this helps!

How to change the color of 1px_trans.gif image of interactive report

Hi All,
Iam using interactive report in apex3.2
I need to change the color of 1px_trans.gif or remove the image in search tool bar
where we can change.
pls tell me .......
Thanks & regards
Balu..

I need to change the color of 1px_trans.gif or remove the image in search tool bar 1px_trans.gif is transparent and doesn't have a colour. It is used as a shim image—an outdated way of controlling the dimension(s) of some element(s). It's intended to be invisible. Giving it colour will cause it to become visible, resulting in all sorts of unexpected and unwanted lines (or worse, solid areas of colour) appearing throughout applications.
What do you think you want to do? (Whatever that is, it will almost certainly not be achieved by changing the colour of 1px_trans.gif...)

Re: Is it possible to change row colors on array fields ors

HI Martin!
Yes, it is possible to change row colors on array fields.
I have attached a PEX (tools.pex) which has an object which changes FillColor
and PenColor for Arrays. The PEX has it's own test window, so you can try
various combinations. (There are a few other Objects in the Project which are
not relevant
I'm not sure that you can change colors on individual choices in a scroll list.
I haven't tried playing around with it.
The test window actually changes the color of scroll lists as well.
The object keeps track of which rows have changed color, same with pen color, so
that when you scroll it keeps track of which rows are a different colors.
The pex is self-contained, just import the file and do a test run.
Please let me know if you have any problems.

Is it possible to change row colors on array fields or scroll lists?
I need to create a list field that will allow me to dynamically change the
fillColor and/or penColor attributes of individual rows. (I just want to
highlight the rows, and those seem to be the obvious attributes...) It appears
you can't do that on scroll lists (the elements are list elements, and don't
have those attributes) and I can't figure out how to do it on an array field
either. Any ideas for how to accomplish this?

My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

Hi
I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File

Thanks,

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you receive any error message?
Which Excel version are you using? Excel 2013 or other?
Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
Are you performing any specific task?
According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Thirdly, if the issue still exists, we may try to collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do advanced troubleshooting.

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.
