Change viewer/canvas background color?

When I have a HD clip in the canvas window I get the letterbox look.
The bars are currently grey which I assume is default.
Is there anyway to change the canvas background color to black?

Just hit Control + U if you fancy the standard layout
or go to FCP main menu>Window>Arrange> Two Up
if you fancy a more useful layout (IMO).
These actions will clear the confusion.
I have the Two Up view shortcut set to Shift + 2 (You can choose your own).
You can achieve that by customizing your keyboard shortcuts (Alt/Otion + H to start with keyboard layout customization).

  • Defaule Canvas background color - Forms 6i

    How do i set the default forms canvas color. I changed the canvas background color to blue. i want my original color back. The property of foreground color is <Unspecified>. I need the same for background.

    r u doin this on Runtime ? i thought u r talking abt design time....coz sometimes builder stuck with color of canvas
    if yes then set_canvas_property('canvasname',background_color,'colorname');

  • Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

    It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

  • How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
    I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Similar question asked by TH received another response.
    Here is the address of that question and answer:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
    I like the solution recommended there.
    Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

  • How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

    How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
    By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
    Thanks

    The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
    You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
    Example:
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
        final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
        List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
          tempResult.add("Item " + i);
        choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
        VBox root = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();   
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    choiceBox.css:
    @CHARSET "UTF-8";
    #choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
    -fx-background-color: yellow ;
    #choice-box-menu-item .label {
    -fx-text-fill: black ;

  • How to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?

    Hello all,
    I am just starting to study the sdk (Mac CC). Currently, I am seeking the answer to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?
    Is it possible to do so? In addition, will the Image Mode such as RGB, CYMK or Grayscale be effecting such solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    These are NOT dropdown menus. They are dropdown LISTS.
    http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Drop_DownMenus.html
    And from the links in the Google search you can learn that a list item has no style.
    And a dropdown list behaves differently from dropdown menus. Here's how it looks on Mobile Safari :

  • Can i change the preview background color?

    thanks
    i use bridge cs6

    can i change the preview background color?
    Yes you can do so in the Bridge preferences under general both Ui interface and image backdrop can be changed
    In the same preferences Cache you can change the location of the central cache to where ever you will. But you have to realize that if you use an external disk this can cause all kinds of problems regarding speed, performance and permission issues. best to keep it on an internal disk and having an SSD available will be even better because you will benefit from performance and speed very much.
    it's gray , may i change it?
    As long as you have a legal version and it is able to change then feel free to set it to your own custom wishes...

  • Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK.  IPad 4 ios 7

    As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
    Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
    I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
    HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
    Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    Vancouver22  Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
    Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
    My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
    The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
    Thanks!
