Change the default highlight color

In the previous version of Acrobat, you used to be able to select a default color for highlighting. I use color-coded highlighting a lot and I can't find a way to change the default highlight color in Acrobat DC. It looks like the only choice I have is to change the highlight color of each highlight individually.  Where did the highlight color preference go?

After changing the color of a highlight right-click it and click "Make current properties default".

  • How do I change the default window color?

    Having white screens is too bright for my eyes!! I always change the default window color in Windows (hiss hiss) to a light shade of gray and that setting carries thru to all windows (i.e. Word, Excel, notepad....). Is it possible to do a similar thing with Tiger? I see that I can choose between a couple of "schemes" from a "Desktop and Dashboard Settings" area (or similar - i don't have my mac here now so can't look to see the proper name) but I see no way to alter colors within those schemes. If you can tell me how to change the default color for my windows I will be awfully happy. thanks.

    Personally, I wouldn't trust it, and I don't hesitate to try these things most of the time even though they sometimes cause problems. But I've used Unsanity products before and they all require installing a preference pane called APE; Application Enhancement module, and that thing caused me lots of problems for my system, lots of crashes and flakiness. I won't use it again.
    But I'm sure there are lots of people using it happily, but if you don't feel confident in dealing with system problems stay away from anything that adds a system preference pane or goes up in the top menu bar at the top (Apple icons excepted) or has to start up with the system.

  • How to change the Find highlight color

    I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the Find Highlight color in office 2013.
    Every time I search for a word or anything it uses a light yallow to highlight that line or word, and I woudl like to replace the yellow with like a teal or a green or some other color that I'm not using already in my Word document. This way I can find out
    were it is telling me It is because I have a lot of stuff already highlighted yallow, and when I click find and search for something in the Navigation window and it finds it. It also puts it as a lighter yellow and it confuses me.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, we can't change the highlight color when using Find in Word. The highlight color is fixed.
    As a workaround, you can try to use Advanced Find instead which will show the search result with a different color.

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.

  • Changing the Preview highlight color

    When you search a PDF file with Preview, you get a list of results in the drawer. Selecting a result goes to that page and highlights the search text. However, the highlight color is a dull gray and is often very difficult to locate quickly, especially on a page full of small text.
    Does anyone know if this color can be changed, for example to imitate the easily visible color used by the Firefox find command? There's no obvious preference for this, but perhaps there's something hidden in the preference file?

    Preview follows the system default, which sets the highlight color of inactive windows to gray and the active window to the color set in Appearance.
    When you search, you can use Tab/ShiftTab to toggle focus between the drawer (containing the search instances) and the main page display pane.

  • Changing the Today highlight color

    I was wondering if there is a way to change that color. Today is highlighted with a very faint blue, and for a person with bad color blindness it's very difficult to see and tell apart from the rest of the white boxes of the dates around. So i can't easily and quickly zoom in on the Today box. Anyone has any ideas?
    I wish Apple had a little more consideration for the color blind people,
    Saturatingly yours,

    Mac needs to improve colors everywhere. In iCal if you add a calendar and, for example, label it red: unless it is the highlighted day, the red is a crummy dulled down red. Same with all of the other colors. The result is a calendar full of dull colors that are not helpful. Also the folders in mail and itunes must have the ability to color code. And why are there only a few colors to available to label folders on the desktop all of which are really distasteful? Basically the same choices since OS 7. I expect more from Mac on this.

  • How do I change the default font color on Mail?

    I want the words in my messages to be a certain color, so what am I doing wrong? First I go on preferences, to fonts & colors, hit select on message list font, and it pulled up a window with all the fonts and stuff. Then I click on the color icon thing which brings up another window for me to choose the color. So I choose the color and close that window and all the other ones. But when I start a new message, the font is black. Is there something I need to do differently? Thanks!

    Hello Apple... is anyone monitoring and responding?
    For years I have been manually changing the font and font color on every outgoing mail as an element of Corporate Identity.
    Apple Mail offers great features like smart mailboxes - but this is still not fixed!
    Universal Mailer (http://universalmailer.github.io/UniversalMailer/) forces font, size and color, but does not display it in the window of the outgoing mail. Can be misleading!
    Spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar!
    Apple, please fix!

  • How do I control the selection highlighting colors assigned to Layers?

    When new layers are created in the Layers panel, they are set to a default selection highlighting color. The color for each new layer changes, sequencing through a list of color options. For my personal use, whether or not it's the lighting in my office and/or the artwork I'm working with, I find about 75% of the color options to be unusable. In fact, the only color definition that works consistently for me is 'Green' (the third option from the top of the list). I work with many layers on every project and I find myself changing every layer to Green manually. Is there an option to set the default highlighting color for every new layer to a single color rather than cycling through the list? I have looked through all the options I could find throughout Illustrator without seeing such.

    Create all your layers, select the first layer, hold down shift, select the last layer, then doubleclick to change all layers at one.
    Or create a template with your layers/names/colors that you want them, and save as to a .ait template format.

  • Can I change the default color of a calendar event?

    I have a couple calendars that will be using the overlay functionality in 2010, and chosing colors for the overlays is no problem.  However the main calendar defaults to green, and then when you open any of the overlay calendars their default color
    is green on their calendar but different on the main version.  Is there a way I can change the default so that either the main calendar doesn't show green (then each overlay owner wouldn't be confused), or to change the seperate overlay calendars to have
    their default match the selected overlay color?Denzel

    Hi Denzel,
    SharePoint 2010 calendar makes use of CALENDARV4.CSS file.  The default location of this file is [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES\Themable\]
    Search for .ms-acal-item element in this CSS file and make changes to
    background-color property to suit your requirement.  A trial and error method could allow you to achieve your functionality.
    CAUTION: Kindly make backup of your original CALENDARV4.CSS file, before making any changes.
    There is a good reference/sample of Calendar Styles by Heather Solomon for earlier SharePoint version 2007 here:
    http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/11/20/SharePoint-Calendar-CSS--Clean-and-Condensed.aspx
    Additionally, please make use of Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools (F12) to further explore the overlay calendar CSS.  Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

    Hi
    Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
    If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
    Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
    m551 User Guide
    For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

  • How do I change the default color in pages.

    How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
