Change scrollbar color

I am trying to figure out away to modify the appearance of scrollbars. Ideally I would like to do this just for one particular VI, but temporarily changing the LabVIEW options would also be acceptable.
According to this page http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/lvdialog/color_options/, I should be able to change the scrollbar color from the Options Dialog Box. However, the Colors category is not present for me. (I'm using version 9.0 and the article was written for 8.6. Maybe something changed?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

That setting in the Options page actually refers to the scrollbar of the VI's front panel and block diagram scrollbar, and not to the scrollbar control. The scrollbar controls are "system" controls, and hence adapt to the operating system. If you try to customize the scrollbar in the Control Editor, you can't change to customization mode, and hence there is no method for changing the color. I know one suggestion that I've heard in the past is to use an alternate control, like a slider, which can be customized.

Changing scrollbar color in textarea

I would like to change the color of the scrollbar that
appears in a textarea. I have tried various methods and nothing
seems to work. I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,

textarea has an insert method therefore you may be able to change the text color and insert it at the same position to obtain the different color. i haven't tried it just a suggestion.

How can I change scrollbar colors? It's hard to see the menu selection/color when scrolling through bookmarks, for example.

How can I make clearer the menu highlight selections, for example when scrolling through my bookmarks. The light blue color is hard to see in Windows 7. How do I change that color?? Running FF 3.6.6
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

" Is there anyway I can define individually as to what color should be related to each text in ring menu?"
Well not with a ring and not programatically.
The best I can suggest is a picture ring, see below.

How to change scrollbar's color in combobox?

Hi, I changed the combobox's background color to black. But since the little arrow in the scrollbar on the right side of the combobox is black, this makes the arrow vanish. I couldn't find any method in API that can change the color of the arrow/scrollbar. Does anyone know? thanx.

Hi,
i think it's possible but only with HTML-result report (where you can add your own 'onclick' handler...)

How can I change the color of scrollbar of firefox 3.6.13

I want to change the scrollbar color of firefox3.6.13 .

Wouldn't it be nice if you could keep the Firefox home page, but change the colour? Unfortunately this isn't possible. But what is possible is changing your home page to a different page.
For more information see [[How to set the home page|How to set the home page]]

How do i do change the color(complete newbie)

i want to have a special button inside the applet which will automatically change the color from red to yellow,
HELP!!!
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Cookie extends Applet
    implements AdjustmentListener {
    private Scrollbar slider;
    private int sliderValue;
    public void init () {
        slider = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL,0,1,0,51);
        add(slider);
        slider.addAdjustmentListener(this);
    public void paint (Graphics g) {
        showStatus("Scrollbar value is " + sliderValue);
          g.setColor(Color.black);
          g.drawRect(60, 60, 60, 100);
          g.setColor(Color.red);
          g.fillRect(60, 160-sliderValue, 60, sliderValue);
        g.fillRect(60, 60, 60, sliderValue);
    public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
        sliderValue = slider.getValue();
        repaint();
}

This seems awfully familiar!
Add a boolean to keep track of color.
Your "special button" will have fire off an actionEvent, in actionPerformed set your boolean to true or false.
In the paint method check for true or false of the boolean and setColor accordingly.

How do I change the color of a JSCrollBar

Hi all,
How do I change the color of a JScrollBar. I was able to change the color of the background, but not the scrollbar itself.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
R.

Hi,
Thanks for all your help. I actually found the sun bug report about this problem. The fix is to create a class for the JScrollBar extending JComponent and then override the setUI method.
Here is the code for anyone who needs it:
/* class custom JScrollBar **/
class myScrollBar extends JScrollBar
public myScrollBar(int orientation){
super(orientation);
public void setUI(BasicScrollBarUI ui) {
super.setUI(ui);
/* class MyUI**/
class MyUI extends BasicScrollBarUI
Color barColor = new Color(51,172,49);
Color bgColor = new Color(245,245,245);
protected JButton createDecreaseButton(int orientation) {
return new ArrowButton(orientation);
protected JButton createIncreaseButton(int orientation){
return new ArrowButton(orientation);
JButton up_button = (JButton)createIncreaseButton(SwingConstants.NORTH);
JButton down_button = (JButton)createDecreaseButton(SwingConstants.SOUTH);
JButton left_button = (JButton)createDecreaseButton(SwingConstants.WEST);
JButton right_button = (JButton)createIncreaseButton(SwingConstants.EAST);
protected void paintThumb(Graphics g,JComponent c,Rectangle thumbBounds)
g.setColor(barColor);
g.fill3DRect((int)thumbBounds.getX(),(int)thumbBounds.getY(),
(int)thumbBounds.getWidth(),(int)thumbBounds.getHeight(),true);
protected void paintTrack(Graphics g,JComponent c,Rectangle trackBounds)
g.setColor(bgColor);
g.fillRect((int)trackBounds.getX(),(int)trackBounds.getY(),
(int)trackBounds.getWidth(),(int)trackBounds.getHeight());
* ArrowButton is used for the buttons to position the
* document up/down. It differs from BasicArrowButton in that the
* preferred size is always a square.
private class ArrowButton extends BasicArrowButton {
public ArrowButton(int direction) {
super(direction);
public void paint(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("i am inside the button paint");
g.setColor(new Color(51,172,49));
g.fill3DRect(0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height, true);
int w = this.getSize().width;
int h = this.getSize().height;
int size = Math.min((h - 4) / 3, (w - 4) / 3);
size = Math.max(size, 2);
g.setColor((new Color(0,0,0,0)).darker());
paintTriangle(g,(w - size) / 2,(h - size) / 2,size+1,this.direction,true);
public void paintTriangle(Graphics g,int x,int y,int size,int direction,boolean isEnabled){
g.setColor((new Color(0,0,0,0)).darker());
super.paintTriangle(g,x,y,size,direction,isEnabled);
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
int size = 16;
if (scrollbar != null) {
switch (scrollbar.getOrientation()) {
case JScrollBar.VERTICAL:
size = scrollbar.getWidth();
break;
case JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL:
size = scrollbar.getHeight();
break;
size = Math.max(size, 5);
return new Dimension(size, size);
in init():
//setting the scrollbars
MyScrollBar vertical = new MyScrollBar(JScrollBar.VERTICAL);
MyScrollBar horizontal = new myScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL);
horizontal.addAdjustmentListener(new ScrollHandler());
vertical.addAdjustmentListener(new ScrollHandler());
vertical.setUI(new MyUI());
horizontal.setUI(new MyUI());
vertical.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(grayColor));
horizontal.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(grayColor));
scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(horizontal);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBar(vertical);
I hope it helps others.

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

IE10 Scrollbar color issue

I have installed IE10 and I am wondering if there is a way to change the color of the scrollbar. The light grey is so light it's hard to see. I have tried a few things and searched around and come up with nothing. I love the preview otherwise
and would like to keep it but this one thing might make me use another as I swap back and forth between IE and Comodo Dragon.
Thanks in advance,

Microsoft has degraded our Windows 7 experience
on purpose by drop-loading this Windows 8-looking IE10 bullshit on our systems via Windows Update. I've held back for few weeks to give it an honest try, but here I come tonight to complain
and lo and behold there's already a thread here, right on top.
These flat, gray scroll thumbs cause a serious reduction in usability. When it's difficult to see something it's difficult to see it, no matter how much you practice trying to get used to it.
There's no getting used to this. It causes a long-term, albeit small, reduction in usability.
It isn't about the color, it's about the style, which of course includes the color.  But those few little extra pixels that define the edge, and the lines within, are
useful for helping us all spot that control, visually. That's why they were put there.
Microsoft, who said it's okay to remove the proper, conformant visual styles from controls in applications you provide for Windows 7 users? If I'd have wanted Windows 8 I'd have bought it. You're breaking your own published standards!
Now we have flat, unrecognizable scrollbar thumbs in IE10 on Windows 7 that depart from standards and are barely visible instead of scrollbars that have the style of all the other applications, as defined by the theme of the
desktop. It's clearly a move designed to degrade the user experience for millions of Windows 7 users.
Do you children on the IE10 team think it's great fun to play "hide the scroll thumb" from all the old Windows 7 users?
I hope this offends you retards who put extra effort into the coding to specifically avoid adhering to the desktop standards of Windows 7 in order to try to make Windows 7 users like it less, because you sure as hell don't deserve any
praise for making my computer work day a little more difficult. If some executive forces you to do stuff like this, you need to tell him or her to kiss your shiny metal...
You're going to drive your company into the ground trying to manipulate people, instead of just engineering a good and proper product.

Detailed how-to in my eBooks:

Yep! IE browser use is on a serious decline. A cool commercial, yet the browser still sucks, unfortunately. Here's hoping IE has the same fate as Netscape. Scrollbars.. uggg!

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
size is 16 MB, there are just 10 pivot tables with some calculations and some calculated fields. There are no add-ins other than PowerPivot.
Thanks,
Shanker

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.

Change the color of the outer line of a shape

Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
Please help
I'm using Photoshop CS3
thank you
Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.

Hi,
With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.
regards,
steve

Unable to change text color (from Black)

For the next person who blunders into this and searches for an answer...
If you have a Condition Code whose decoration is a custom color, and you delete the color, the text goes to Black, and you cannot change the color of text bearing that CC - with local color override, or a Character Format that applies a color (I didn't try Paragraph format).
I am copying formatted content in from an older document that doesn't conform to current templates. I had deleted unused colors in the source, but not unused Condition Codes, one of which rode in with some text. What was controlled by the CC in the old doc is now controlled by a color Character format, except that when applied, the text stayed stubornly black (until I nuked the CC).

Dear FrameMaker 7.1/Unix user,
This does not surprise me. As long as the condition is applied and "Show Condition Formats" is active FrameMaker will show the Condition Color (now: Black) and not any underlying text colors.
