Change highlight color in pages

Hey guys and gals,
Would anyone happen to know whether changing highlight color in Pages is possible, and if so - how?
I searched all over and found no satifsying answers.
Thank in advance!

It looks like the Highlight (background) color can only be yellow.
The best work around I can find is to change the text color itself which may work like a highlight of the text (like red, green or blue) which makes it stand out.  Maybe that will help?
Format Inspector (the brush) > Style > Touch the Size and Font item > Color > swipe to see options.
Note even there you can't go beyond predefined colors but you can make text stand out.

  • How to change highlight color in Pages for iPad?

    Is there any way to do this? I know i can highlight selected text, but there is no option for choosing the color. It's always yellow and I would really like to highlight my text with many different colors.

  • Changing Highlight Color Behind Theme Button

    Hello -
    I've scoured this message board and saw similar postings, but none that answered my question on how to change the highlight color behind the theme button. I put together a DVD w/button themes that play the videos inside, and when my friend goes to click on the buttons, in order to play that chapter, he sees the 'white highlight' that represents which button he is selecting. He has asked me if I can change that highlight color - is this something I can do in iDVD5? Thanks!!

    Happy editing!

  • When using Preview can I change highlight color

    I like using Preview because it is so fast when opening a pdf file.
    When I use the search function and get a list of all the found items, I start browsing each of the pages. However, the text is highlighted with a light gray bar. As this is difficult to see, I would like to change the color.
    Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

    I found an answer at this link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=170739
    Using shift - tab a couple of times changes the highlighted text in the PDF to the selected preferred color that is set in Appearance in system preferences.

  • 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.

  • Change background color in pages app

    Hey (;
    I'm really sorry if my question shouldn't be at this forum ,
    How can I change the background color of my document in pages app on my iPad .
    I saw this in apple's iCloud commercial ... Int he commortiL she just touches the background and than format but it doesn't work ...
    Thank you very much !

    As far as I can see, you have to create a shape and then format the shape. Tap the + sign icon in the upper right corner and select a shape - a prefilled shape or a blank one - and the tap the paint brush icon and select a style/color for that shape.
    You can change the size of the shape by selecting it and then dragging the blue dots to the size that you want. If you tap on a background that you have already created - tap on the paint brush to change the color from the styles palette.

  • Can I change highlight color for "today?"

    I have trouble telling the difference bewteen the shades of blue in the monthly calendar and the "Today" box.  The shades are so close to each other it's hard to quickly find today's date.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color to something that contasts more with the light blue? 

    I'm afraid not, but other posters have suggested that if you have the display's contrast set too high it's difficult to see the highlighting, so you could try reducing that and see if it helps.

  • How to change highlight color for menus?

    What controls the highlight color used for Firefox menus? ... like Find, Print and About ... the main menus.
    I used the Stratiform Plug-in to change my font color to blue and now it's exactly the same as the highlight color ... so highlighting makes the entry's text invisible.
    I want my highlight color to be YELLOW only, regardless of any theme I might use.

    Good idea ... but (in XP) the color for Selected Items only affects Windows menu entries. It looks like some other setting affects the Firefox ones. I've attached a couple of captures to show what I'm seeing.
    Thanks for trying.

  • Changing highlight color in spy menus

    I'm trying to change the color of the spry menu when you highlight it. Where do I find that option?

    When you say "highlight it" do you mean the change of color when you hover?
    If you open up the .css file in Dreamweaver (SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for instance) you will see that the code is well commented.
    have a scan through the file and you should see the code explained.  Look for the rules that relate to hover.  Then you just find a HEX value for the color you want and add it.  If you want to keep track of the changes you make, try commenting out the code that is there already and retyping it with your own rule.
    If that's not much help try David Powers' tutorial: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize2.php

  • How to change highlight color in Preview quickly?

    I do a lot of reading and annotating of PDFs using Preview. While I love just about everything about this program, my only complaint (if it could be called that) is that I can't figure out a quick way to cycle through the highlight colors without using the palette drop-down. Has anyone figured out a clever way to hotkey the colors for the highlighting annotation tool?

    yorkait wrote:
    You simply create new keyboard shortcuts for the Preview application (in system preferences). And set the shortcuts to "Red", "Yellow", and so on. This works because the contextual menu with the color is labelled this way. I binded all colors on Shift + Command + *letters from the first left hand side rows of keys*. Very handy.
    (Now if someone figured out how to customize the default colors I would be eternally grateful.)
    Great thanks, I didn't realize you could do that for those kind of menus as well until about a month ago when David Sparks showed doing that for Mail accounts.  I have been using the assignable key commands since they added that in Tiger.   I ended up doing something so much more complicated using Keymon and Size up to move the mouse and position the document on screen. 
    Thanks again I will add this and use this all the time!

  • Changing highlighting color with hotkeys?

    I am using adobe to mark up scientific papers and while i love the OCR and annotation features, I think there is room for improvement. I like to use many different highlighting colors and having to switch between them manually in the menu is a pain. Is there a script that can be tacked on to assign custom hotkeys?

    public static void main ( String[] args )
    ButtonDemo2 frm = new ButtonDemo2();
    WindowQuitter wquit = new WindowQuitter();
    frm.addWindowListener( wquit );
    frm.setSize( 200, 150 );
    frm.setVisible( true );
    class WindowQuitter extends WindowAdapter
    public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
    System.exit( 0 ); // what to do for this
    event--exit the program
    }I noticed your little inner class called WindowQuitter. Did you know that JFrame has a nice method to make what you were doing REALLY easy? Here it is...
    frm.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);That's all there is to it. It does exactly what you were doing. There are some other good options for the parameter as well. Check it out sometime.

  • How to change background color in pages

    i am creating a flyer usng pages and i want to change the background color to black.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    These instructions are for Pages '09, 4.1 (923).
    First Save As and give it a file name, in case you change your mind, and want to go back to what it was before you began to make color changes.
    Now click on the area of color you want to change. (It could take several tries to select the area you want.)
    Choose Inspector, Graphics, Fill, click the color box, and choose another color from the Color tool that opens.
    Depending upon the original, you may have to select several areas in order to recolor the entire document.
