Change default color swatches view

Illustrator CS3 and CS4--any file opened has default 'swatches' view set to those cute little (useless)squares--I would really like it to be 'small list' view. Is there a way to do this??

The problem of the swatches panel not remembering its view setting is a bug that never got corrected in CS3, despite its being discovered and reported very early-on.
Editing the prefs file as described in this link is presently work for me:

It is reportedly fixed in CS4. Are you not finding that to be the case?

    help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...
    Tried re-launching application, re-booting PC in case of a technical glitch. Something with graphics frames that needs to be re-stored that I am unaware of?
    I also tried creating a new page, importing another image and still experiencing the issue.
    How do I "re-set" my settings so it will work once again?
    Thank you!

    Here's the info on resetting your prefs: Replace Your Preferences
    But that's not likely the problem. Are you sure the images are really grayscale mode? What format are they saved in? They cannot be colorized in ID if they are transarent or lack a Background layer.

  • CHANGING DEFAULT CMYK SWATCHES TO RGB

    I've been looking for a way to change the default CMYK swatch to RGB.  I've tried everything.  CMYK colors - even black ARE NOT ACCURATE.  Help?

    you just need to change the profile when creating new document
    CMYK is Accurate, when printing CMYK!
    RGB is Accurate, when displaying in RGB!
    colour is a complex thing.

  • Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

    I've looked and looked, and even Googled.  Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file?  In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser. 

    I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues.  However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content.  I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
    If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference.  This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

    hi! im looking forward to know how to change the default colors in pebrot (http://pebrot.sourceforge.net/) so it shows a transparent background in urxvt instead the default black solid color
    pebrot has a ~/.pebrot/pebrotrc file:
    # Pebrot config file

    # Valid colors names are: white, blue, red, cyan, yellow, green, magenta.

  • Change default colors of charts

    Hello everyone,
    is it possible to change the default background color and fonts color of charts? I know about changing the line colors (which I have already done according to our corporate design), but I did not find anything about setting background colors by default. We have two different themes (a dark and a bright one) and I don't want to copy the charts just to apply different colors to it.
    Thank you in advance
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I understand that BI 11g, gives some standard colors to the chart (The first preference might be blue ;) If I remember correctly). However, say you would like to change the color of the chart to green, I think we cannot directly override its color. Instead we can take a approach of chart options based on position at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10544/creatingviews.htm#CHDDEFEF
    As per the above link, we can give custom color to the bars based on the order they come up. Like in a group, 1st one blue, 2nd one green, 3rd yellow etc.
    So if you have only one bar per graph, use this setting to specify the graph color using position =1
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Change the color swatch

    I was wondering if there was any way that I could either
    change the little color swatch next to my username or choose which
    color swatch would be used? Could there be something added to the
    My Kuler section that would allow me to choose what I wanted
    instead of using the first color theme that I created.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello, yes, currently the color theme avatar is the first
    theme you create. Others have requested the ability to change their
    avatar, but the current workaround seems to be deleting that first
    theme and then it changes... sometimes. Thanks for your patience.

  • Change (default) color 'blue'

    Hello experts,
    my problem: i want to change the default color 'blue'. In 'green'. I meen for example ui-element captions is with the attribute rowBackgroundDesign blue, or by tables with CellDesign standard are the readOnly columns blue. I want it in green.
    Can anybody help me? What must i do?
    Thanks for help
    greetings
    Raier

    Hi Rainer,
    there is no direct property like semanticcolor for label , you have to change through kind off design..
    which release you are working on.. i have an idea u go to application configuration in admin mode and go to UI element property and as ulltimately HTML is rendered so there is a trick to handle this..
    For the “Width” parameter, you enter
    6ex; color: white; font-weight:bold; background-color: yellow
    this is a trick and it works for releases prior to NW 7.1
    Let me know if it needs more explanation..
    Regards

  • Change default full-screen view

    Hi All,
    In Aperture 3, the default full-screen view is not to see the "viewer" view, but rather the "browser" view.
    Is there a way to change this default? When I change to full-screen mode, it's generally to see the largest view of a picture, which is now a 2-step process.
    thanks,
    nathan

    Ernie,
    Most of the time when I'm looking to use full screen mode, I'm in the Browser view. It makes sense now that you've detailed what happens -- Browser mode in non-full-screen opens the browser mode in full-screen. That's the key. I hadn't tried to do what you described - full screen mode from the viewer view.
    It sounds like I'll have to adjust my workflow. I like working in browser mode and then going to full screen single-photo. However, it doesn't sound like it's the way the new full-screen mode works. The good thing is that the size of the thumbnails is maintained separately for non-full-screen versus full-screen. I can make the full-screen browser have larger thumbnails than my regular browser.
    thanks,
    nahan

  • Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

    Hi all,
    We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap.  Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet.  When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color.  I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel.  Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

  • How to Change Default Colors in Linux

    Hello All, and thanks in advance.
    I wanted to know how can I change the default colos in Linux, so that they resemble the Windows's one.
    For example I want to change the blue-green bg color in linux to a gray.

    Either manually do a 'define editor=vi' when you log in through sql*plus, or put that in the glogin.sql in $ORACLEHOME/sqlplus/admin or put that in a login.sql in the directory you run sqlplus from.
