Changing color on template chooser page

In Pages, Id like to change the background color of the templates offered..? I can change the content on the page but not the page color itself? Is it possible?

There is no way to change the background color.
We may just mimic this feature thru insertion of a colored shape moved to the background.

Can you change the background colors in templates on Pages?

I love the newsletter templates in Pages, but I can't figure out a way to change the background color. I am supposed to use specific colors so I was hoping there was a way to change the background colors in some of the tables. Is there a way?

Hi, yes, I clicked the box that I wanted to change the background in. I made sure that the correct box was selected and not the text box on top of it. Then I clicked Fill on the top bar and selected the color that I wanted to change it to. I only wanted to change the color in certain boxes - I didn't want to change the entire background of the newsletter template. I hope I explained this ok

Changing color in templates

I'm brand new to Pages and I'd like to change the green background color in the heading of Education newsletter template. Can I do that? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can do that easily. Click in the green box to select it (find a spot that doesn't select a banner or a picture) then in the Graphic Inspector click the drop down menu labeled Fill and choose Color Fill. Then click the colored box and choose your color.

Need to change color of template

I directed a client to a template site and they picked a template that was a PSD (attached) and I turned it into a working website. Now they tell me they want it to be blue instead of the green that it is. I am not sure where to start. I guess I need go to each layer and change the color to a variation of blue. Is there a quick way to do this? I am not even sure how to change colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You do not need to do this for each layer. Just the ones with the color elements of the webpage,and only those that are visible. (eyeball on in layers panel)
When you select the layer,then you go to the Image menu,Adjustments,and select Variations. You can interactively experiment until you find what's best.
My layer thumbnails are large so I can see at a glance what element I'm looking at. Use the Layers Panel menu to get to Panel Options and select Large Thumbnails.
Of course back up that template before loading into PS in case you need to do it over.
That should get you started.

Hi Streater
Welcome to the forum.
There are 3 possiblilities:
*1. It is locked* and shows small grey crosses on the corners
+Menu > Arrange > Unlock ( option command l)+
*2. It is grouped*
+Menu > Arrange > Ungroup ( option shift command g)+
*3. It is a scan or pdf*
+Inspector > Metrics > File Info+
Need to edit it outside Pages in a graphics program.
If you can get at the object the colors and strokes etc are at:
+Inspector > Graphic > Fill / Stroke+
Double click any color fields to get the color picker.

Change color of Comments in Pages

I want to change the color/shading of each comment in a pages document. I would like changing the color of the comment to change the shading of the comment's anchor, its bubble and the line between the two.
Is this possible today? If not, how about an enhancement!
Thanks!
Rodger

Rodger,
You can change the color of the text you type into the comment bubble and you can even add a paragraph fill color to the background, but it won't change the yellow outlining in the comment bubble or the anchor.
While I appreciate you investing me with the power to enhance Pages, you'll have to leave feedback for the Pages development team if you want to make them aware of your feature requests.

Changing colors in templates

Hello.
I am sure this is soooo easy and soooo obvious, but I am not seeing it. When using the Special Occasion template, there are some light blue boxes in the design. How can I change the color?
Thanks.

well suuuuuuuuuure it's easy! I mean, this is an Apple product, right?!?
Okay, sarcasm induced from my own frustration at trying to change what SHOULD be simple, aside, this is what you need to do. Using a text editor (BBedit is my fav) navigtate to:
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/Book Themes/Special Occasion/Hardcover/Graphics/BlueRect.plist
change line 5 which says: <string>{242, 255, 244, 100}</string> to whatever you want. They are (in order) Red, Green, Blue, Value and you will need some tool like the Digital Color Meter or Apple Color picker to help you translate your pref'd color into the necessary values. I'd recommend saving a copy of the file in case things go sideways.
Good luck, and in general anything you want to change can be done this way in the plist and other files in the packages.

Button change color on select, then change back

I have 3 buttons, named but,but2,but3. What I want is if you
click a button it changes color to show what page your on. But when
you click a different button now that one is highlighted and the
original one goes back to the original color. Here's the code.
but3.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("banner3.swf", "container");
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0 ;
I figure I have to add some kind of if statement?
}

I got it. I added this code for each button.
but.gotoAndStop(2);
but1.gotoAndStop(1);
but2.gotoAndStop(1)

Why does the visited link color change not work on some pages. this has only occurred in the past few weeks. 2 different computers Win 7 home pm Firefox 29

On some sites the visited link color does not change. I have checked all settings and they have not changed. I can make the problem change by unchecking the "allow pages to choose thier own colors" box , but the some pages do not display correctly. Things worked fine up to a few weeks ago. I feel it may be a glitch in firefox 29.
Windows 7 home premium SP 1
Firefox 29

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

Thank you so much, Picas! I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

How to change background color only in specific pages???

Hi! I try to change color of background in pdf document using adobe reader, but it only changes all pages together and I can't find a way to do it on selected pages(or even select them). For example I need to change only 1st and last page to grey background color and leave the middle pages with white background color. Please help! Thanks

I seldom use Word so I can't help you with that problem. It could be in the way you are adding the background in Word but again, I use it about oncve a month.
If you have Adobe Illustrator, you could do it there by adding a colored box in a layer behind the text (you can open the pdf directly in Illy).

Pages 5.1 - Always asks to add to template chooser

Pages 5.1
I have templates created in folders from previous version. When i double click from folder to open it get asked to add to the template chooser or cancel, add to template chooser, yes great it goes there then i have to click again to open. If i then go to open this template again from the saved location it asks to add again, i do, and it has to replace the template now, i do, then i have to click to open again. If i click cancel during any of the process, yes its cancels. But i cannot simply open a template from a saved location without going in this procedure loop. How do i open a template from saved location, i want to simply double click to open?

Jerroid:
I followed your instructions and was able to save a template to a foulder on the desktop. However, the template on in the desktop foulder only opens after it is saved to the chooser, and that means giving a new name to the template in the chooser. This seem to be a needless circle, a duplication of effort and a problem the new Pages 5.1. Perhaps it will be corrected in the future. Thank you for your response - RI531

How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You
Keith Aul

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.
