Change color of ColdFusion comments in Dreamweaver CC 2014

Hi All,
I've recently discovered Sublime Text 2, and really like their code coloring theme. 90% of my work still needs to be done in Dreamweaver. I was able to find a Colors.xml file I could use, that got it very close to looking like sublime text. The only real problem are ColdFusion comments.
I changed this line in the XML C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014\en_US\Configuration\
<syntaxColor id="CodeColor_CFCommentText" text="#585835" bgcolor="#434343" /> from the original ffff99 bright yellow background, but after restarting Dreamweaver, the ColdFusion comments are still lite color text on this bright yellow background. Horrible.
It seems Dreamweaver CC 2014 removed a lot of ColdFusion options, sad. Many of us still use it for Front-End work, while ColdFusion Builder works better for back-end.
I really hope there is a way to get a dark color theme into Dreamweaver for ColdFusion.
Any suggestions?

What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is some how not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver. It is simple greed.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. Adobe needs to reestablish ColdFusion support in Dreamweaver or, based on what I have read in many forums, they will be losing a lot of customers. There are a lot of CF developers looking for an alternative to all of Adobe's products because of this "slap in the face" and I am sure there are companies out their already looking at this enormous opportunity.
I, for one, am looking at other programs to replace everything I use from Adobe because I feel betrayed. Adobe may think they own the market but I am afraid they are going to learn the hard way. If you try to force the growth of the bottom line at the expense of ignoring your customers, you will fail. If you put your customers needs first, the bottom line will follow. Has history taught you nothing?

Change color of Comments in Pages

I want to change the color/shading of each comment in a pages document. I would like changing the color of the comment to change the shading of the comment's anchor, its bubble and the line between the two.
Is this possible today? If not, how about an enhancement!
Thanks!
Rodger

Rodger,
You can change the color of the text you type into the comment bubble and you can even add a paragraph fill color to the background, but it won't change the yellow outlining in the comment bubble or the anchor.
While I appreciate you investing me with the power to enhance Pages, you'll have to leave feedback for the Pages development team if you want to make them aware of your feature requests.

Change color of Comment?

Is it possible to change the background color of a comment? It would be nice to be able to indicate the nature of a comment by the color: positive comments in green, negative comments in red.
I don't see any way to change this. Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Select a footnote.
+Inspector > Text > More > Background fills > check Paragraph > click on color swatch > Color Chooser > choose color+
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer > Footnote Text > click on arrow > Redefine style from selection+
With the Footnote style selected in the Styles Drawer
+click on the plus button at bottom left > Footnote Text 2 > OK+
Change the color as above and update style.
You can now apply the colored styles to whichever Footnotes you choose.

How do you change color of screen in dreamweaver?

Hello how do you change color of screen in dreamweaver website?

Do you mean the background-color of the actual site, or are you talking about the color of the DW interface?
In DWCC, you can go to Modify > Page Properties to change things like the background-color, text color and more for the actual web page.
You can also change it in the CSS Designer panel by creating a body selector in the css, then make the change in the CSS Designer's properties sub window.

Why isn't ColdFusion supported in Dreamweaver CC anymore?

For some reason Adobe is no longer supporting ColdFusion in the new Dreamweaver CC 2014. CF comments are no longer are highlighted in the code view. In fact CF is not listed among applications, although PHP is. Is Adobe planning on abandoning CF?

Ben Forta wrote a post on his blog last year about the changes to Coldfusion and Dreamweaver.
You can see it here - http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2013/6/30/On-Dreamweaver-CC-And-ColdFusion
The main reason seems to be Coldfusion Builder and moving Dreamweaver to do the "client side" aspect of development.

Change or turn off comment highlighting

Is it possible to change or turn off the highlighting behind the comments? The bright yellow is a bit much and I'd like to tone it down a bit. I found where I can change the color of the comment text and other text (Window - Preferences - ColdFusion - Editor Profiles - Editor - Colors), but there doesn't seem to be any setting for the background highlighting.

Thanks Adam, that bug listing has a comment by Sean Smith that mentions exporting and manually hacking. He also has a blog post URL there, but I didn't follow it as it wasn't an actual link.
It is pretty easy to find though. I opened the file in Notepad++ and found this line:
<style background="rgb(255,255,153)" foreground="rgb(128,128,128)" id="WHITESPACE_TAG_COMMENT"/>
That was based on my having already changed the text color from black to a medium gray. So the foreground is the text color and the background is the highlighting. I simply changed the background rgb values to (235,235,235) for a light gray.
As a note to anyone else following this discussion, getting the rgb values is pretty easy by going into those preferences and clicking any color as though you are going to modify it. In the Color pop-up, click Define Custom Colors>> and use the spectrum in there to reveal the Red, Green, Blue values you want.
Save that *.col file and Import it back via the Preferences page.

Adobe Acrobat Pro: Possible to change color of drawn lines / polygons? How?

In working with Adobe Acrobat Pro --editing PDFs, is it possible to change the color of lines and polygons that are under the comments section. I would like to have lines and polygons of 3 maybe 4 different colors on the thing that I am working on.. Is this possible? How?

Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bar and you'll be able to change the
color of the comments you're creating.

Changing colors ONLY

OK, I have the menu done, and now I want to play with the colors of the individual menu Items.
Right now they are Greenish. I have a Paragraph style (and Object styles, calling the Para styles) with Green specified as the color.
What I want to do, is simply go out to all the text frames and change in one click all the green colors to (for example) Blue.
But the formatting changes when I do this so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bob
edited comment added. I think I see what is getting me. In the Changing Colors Paragraph Style, it sets the Font and Point. How do I get a style to just change the color and color only (leaving any formatting untouched)?

If you already have a style applied to this text, the simple thing to do is edit that style to change the color.
You could make a new style based on the other, changing only the color, but it would take longer to apply. Editing an existing style is an instantaneous way to make changes through the whole document in a single operation -- that's one of the big reasons why you use them.

Making type change color on rollover: Cant make it work

Incredibly, I can not figure out how to make hyperlinked text change color on rollover.
I thought it was a matter of assigning a new CSS rule, but I cant find the dialog box within which to specify a rollover color.
I cant believe how difficult and obtuse such a super simple and basic function is in Dreamweaver.
WHAT am I doing wrong?

CSS Pseudo-classes work best if defined in the following order (LiVHA):
a:link {color:#FF0000} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color:#00FF00} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF} /* selected link */

Change color on item

Hi,
I have a problem with changing color after I change a field record.
I have 10 column, when a press the button apper 20 records/pag, in one column i make some changes (ex. a change the date 12/10/2012->13/10/2012), after i made this change i want the
background to change in a color.
I put in when_button_pressed:
execute_query;
commit comment '';
message('X');
IF :col1<>:col2 THEN
Set_Item_Property('blk.col2',BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'R255G255B0');
END IF;
I made the change in the column for 1 position, and then i press the button for saving the changes, but all the col2 is yellow now...i want only the position where i made the change(where col1<>col2(col1=col2 in general)).
Thx.

Hello,
see the online Forms Builder documentation (F1), then use Set_Item_Instance_property() instead of Set_Item_Property().

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 Rewriting my ColdFusion Code

This has been an intermittent issue throughout the versions of Dreamweaver, but it's definitely back in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1. When opening ColdFusion templates (.cfm files) sometimes Dreamweaver will rewrite some of the code - often completely removing some of my closing tags (today it just removed a </cfoutput> tag) when I open the file in code view (I don't even use design view). It's gotten very dangerous for me to make ANY changes to my sites as sometimes simply opening the remote file and re-saving it breaks the site because of this rewriting! I have all the code rewriting preferences unchecked and can't find anywhere else to tell Dreamweaver to LEAVE MY CODE ALONE! Anyone else having issues with Dreamweaver being too helpful in trying to do your job for you? Some of these files are quite complex, long templates and pouring over them to track down what Dreamweaver did to my code is ridiculous. It was bad enough when adobe dropped support for ColdFusion extensions in the latest versions of Dreamweaver, but now I can't use it at all because of this and they don't even have an alternative coding product in the creative suite - you have to buy en entirely new product ColdFusion Builder to work with these pages. Next stop: Notepad!

I ended up going back to the previous version (Dreamweaver CC) as that version doesn't seem to have the same coding bug as CC 2014.1. Thank goodness Adobe rolled out the new version as a standalone rather than upgrading my older version! Time to start looking for a new coding IDE, I guess. Thanks @Nancy O. for the CF Eclipse and Sublime Text suggestions - I haven't figured out how to set up local/remote projects in eclipse yet the same way I had it working in Dreamweaver, but so far it's been just as effective a tool (and hasn't screwed up my code, either!).

Missing ColdFusion Support in Dreamweaver

I can't say it enough and will continue to post until someone at Adobe listens.
What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet by deprecating support for ColdFusion in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is somehow not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver.
What's more, it is going to take me and others weeks to learn a new program and that's time most of us don't have to spare. It's enough to keep up with the browser changes. I am a one man shop, as are many who used Dreamweaver, and every minute we use learning a new program instead of building websites is money lost. So Adobe is costing us money.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. I just don't understand why Adobe would drop support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver when the program was working. It wasn't like the program was broken and the ColdFusion tag support was causing a problem with the program.
All Adobe has done is caused ill will towards their company and probably many developers to go out of business, at the least lose money when the economy is so tight. Thanks Adobe, for nothing.

You can, relatively easily, put the rug back in place. Since you're a CC Subscriber, you can move back to a previous version of DW through the Creative Cloud Desktop App...
Open the CC Desktop App
Click Apps tab
Scroll down to filters and versions
Click previous versions
Download and install an older version of DW
From there, use the older DWCS6 until you have the time and inclination to learn CF Builder or move to another non-Adobe application. There's no reason to sit and struggle with the new non-CF version of DW CC, blow billable hours and miss deadlines due to training.
As far as I've seen, there is no plan to bring any CF support back into DW. Adobe's plan is to move people to the perpetual license CF Builder instead.

Why do I get a program error when changing colors?

I get a 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to change colors on both the forground/background palette or from the color picker palette. Is there a patch for this?
I am using Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.x64

Hi. Because this forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
