Changing colors brings up a new dialog I've never seen before...
Hi,
I think I broke my Photoshop CS4.
For some reason, when I try to change colors anywhere (it could be the color of text, or the main foreground color) a dialog with swatches appears instead of the eyedropper tool I'm used to using in this scenario. I can't click on anything else in the screen except the options in this annoying swatches dialog.
It looks like this :
This is extremely annoying and frustrating, as this dialog won't tell me what the hexadecimal color values are (even when I click "Define Custom Colors").
As of right now, the project I was working on is stalled until I figure out how to make this thing go away and let me use the eyedropper tool to change the color of something.
This problem is new. I had my CS4 running since it came out and it never did this before.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

The font color has always been black and the tabs in color, but now when I choose a different Personna, the font fades and/or turns white, sometimes fuzzy. This has never happened before. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Please help.
Does it help if you disable the Persona Plus extension?

How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar
How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?
When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"? If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad. I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors. Those appear on my iPad. I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad. Are you using a Mac or MobileMe? -
My Macbook has a dialog box on the screen that indicates everything I do. Right now it says "Standard toolbar". When I try to get rid of it nothing happens. I've never seen this before and don't know ho to get rid of it.
This seems to be more common than I thought. Premanent solution is to trade the cat in on a dog.

My Macbook Pro i7 dual core had a hard freeze halfway through my DJ set. At that moment, I had 'mixedinkey' opened on another page but it was not processing any files. The Traktor interface just froze for about 1-2 minutes with the usual rainbow ball spinning and I could not manouvre to another page. Suddenly, the music stop and an error dialog box which I have seen before appeared and say to shut down my Macbook using the on/off button. I did what was said, off the Macbook and on it again and it behaved normal after that. I also did a 'repair disk' with disk utility after that. Now, I am kind of worried it will happen again in the midst of my DJ sets because it is going to be embarassing. Does anybody out there know what actually happened? Is it my hard disk or is it a one time off thingy...any thoughts will be a great help.

Some links like youtube open in new tab but never have before, how do I fix this?
All of a sudden, when I go to youtube or really anything. It opens it in a new tab when it never did before. It would only open in new tab when I told it to or when I clicked on a url. I really don't know a lot about this so if somebody could help me that would be great.
Did you check the settings?
*Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How to change cursor when need to open a new dialog?
Hi,
I try to change cursor to WAIT when client open a new dialog, which it tell user the program was running to ready display new dialog.
My code was like the following
scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
someclass.showMyDialog(); // The dialog was a new stage with StageStyle.UTILITY style
scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
But the cursor didn't be changed, I didn't know it why? Anybody know it? thank in advance!
I had search the google, and didn't find the perfect answer, most of they was like to use setCursor(Cursor.WAIT) mode.
the current ENV in my host was: windows 7 and Java
java version "1.7.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_13-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Best regards,
Edited by: user13005878 on May 27, 2013 1:48 AMIf you have a long running process ("long" means anything the user will notice), you need to run it in a thread other than the JavaFX Application Thread. In other words, you need to change the cursor to the wait cursor on the FX Application Thread, launch a user-defined thread for your long running process (connecting to the database), and once that thread is complete, show the dialog and change the cursor back on the FX Application Thread again. If you try to do everything on the FX Application Thread, you'll likely block that thread and prevent any changes from being visible to the user until the long process is complete (so you'll never see the wait cursor).
All that said, and as jsmith said, there are some bugs in JavaFX 2.2 with the appearance of the cursor. So on my system (Mac OS X 10.7.5) the "correct" behavior is only observed with JavaFX 8.
This is an example of doing things wrong. Here I don't see any change to the cursor, even on JavaFX 8:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WaitCursorDemo extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
Button button = new Button("Do something time-consuming");
button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Starting...");
scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
System.out.println("Done");
root.setBottom(button);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}This works on JavaFX 8: after pressing the button I see the wait cursor for two seconds, then it reverts to the default cursor.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import javafx.concurrent.WorkerStateEvent;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WaitCursorDemo extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
Button button = new Button("Do something time-consuming");
button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Starting...");
scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
Task<Void> task = new Task<Void>() {
@Override
protected Void call() throws Exception {
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
return null;
task.setOnSucceeded(new EventHandler<WorkerStateEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(WorkerStateEvent event) {
scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
System.out.println("Done");
// Display your dialog now you have the data from the database...
new Thread(task).start();
root.setBottom(button);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);

How do I change the color scheme on my new Iphone 4s
I accidentally changed the color scheme of the new 4s I purchase, I mean everything inluding the look of apps and thier colors.
It makes my pictures I take look all screwed up...they all look almost Sepia and like an exposed role of film.
How do I change the color scheme back to the original settings?You seem to be referring to more than the background wallpaper for the home screen. There are no "color scheme" settings in the phone - you may have activated white on black used for the visually impaired.

Making type change color on rollover: Cant make it work
Incredibly, I can not figure out how to make hyperlinked text change color on rollover.
I thought it was a matter of assigning a new CSS rule, but I cant find the dialog box within which to specify a rollover color.
I cant believe how difficult and obtuse such a super simple and basic function is in Dreamweaver.
WHAT am I doing wrong?CSS Pseudo-classes work best if defined in the following order (LiVHA):
a:link {color:#FF0000} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color:#00FF00} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF} /* selected link */

Fireworks cs4 batch change color in jpegs?
Is it possible to use fireworks cs4 batch command to change the same background color on multiple jpegs?
Thanks in advance,
CarlHey... solved it! Changed the background color in almost 2,000 jpegs. Heres how:
Photoshop CS4, first define a color in an AXT file:
Open test image, image, adjustments, replace color. use eye dropper to sample the background color, bring hue, saturation, and lightness bars all the way to the right (background color now turnd white), click save (save the definition AXT file, you will need to reference it later).
Now create a new action called "replace color", have test image open (with original background that you want to change), start record and do this to record the action:
Image, adjustments, replace color. Click load and select the AXT file, click load (the background color now turns white with the loaded AXT definition). Click ok. save file. Stop record action.
Now run a batch command and use that action you just recorded: File, automate, batch, select your new action in the play section, select the folder of files to process and the destination... click ok to run the batch.
I changed the "background" color in 2,000 estore product images of various sizes (thumbnail, medium, and large sizes) in about 15 minutes. Wow! I knew there had to be a way.
Hope it helps lots of people, 'cause it sure is a common need.
Cheers,
Carl -
If you want to change a color of a stripe...say pink, light green, light blue to a totally diferent color scheme can it be done??? I know that you can use the hue sat. and slider but all that does is change the hue of the existing background. I'm doing digital scrapbooking and want to pick up exact color from a photo..I know you use the eyedropper..Is there a way to incorporate that color in a multi background.
Also is change to target an option in PSE 3?? I know it is in Photoshop. Someone had suggested I try it. Not even sure as to how to use it.Terri,
Here are 2 ways to change color.
Using Hue/Saturation:
1. Select the area you want to change.
2. Enhance>Adjust Color>Hue/Saturation
3. In the Hue/Saturation dialog box, adjust the Hue slider.
Optionally adjust the Saturation and Lightness sliders.
Note: Instead of step 2, you can add a Hue/Satuation adjustment layer. This will enable you to go back later and make further adjustments.
Using Replace Color:
1. Enhance>Adjust Color>Replace Color.
2. In the Replace Color dialog box, use the Eyedropper to select the old color in the image (this color will appear in the Sample box).
You can also sample with the Eyedropper before invoking Replace Color, in case you want to sample from another image first.
3. Move the Fuzziness slider until only the old color area is white.
4. Adjust the Hue slider to get the new color.
Optionally adjust the Saturation and Lightness sliders.
Note: Prior to step 1 you might want to roughly select the area to change so that you don't change other areas in step 4. e.g., if you just want to change the red balloon you don't want to also change the red dress!

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same
Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?
- BDAlright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
Things I'm not sure about:
a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

How to change color of selected label from list of labels?
My Problem is that I have a list of labels. RowHeaderRenderer is a row header renderer for Jtable which is rendering list items and (labels).getListTableHeader() is a method to get the list. When we click on the label this code is executed:
getListTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
if (e.getClickCount() >= 1)
int index = getListTableHeader().locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
try
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
AcknowledgeEvent ackEvent = new AcknowledgeEvent(
this, (ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]);
fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
((HeaderListModel)listModel).setElementAt(ACK, index);
catch(Exception ex) {;}
Upon mouse click color of the label should be changed. For some period of time ie. Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
This statement is calling this method:
public void handleAcknowledgeEvent(final AcknowledgeEvent event)
boolean ackOk = false;
int seqId = ((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).sequenceId;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).ackRequiredFlag)
try
// perform call to inform server about acknowledgement.
ackOk = serviceAdapter.acknowledge(seqId,
theLogicalPosition, theUserName);
catch(AdapterException aex)
Log.error(getClass(), "handleAcknowledgeEvent()",
"Error while calling serviceAdapter.acknowledge()", aex);
ExceptionHandler.handleException(aex);
else
// Acknowledge not required...
ackOk = true;
//theQueue.buttonAcknowledge.setEnabled(false);
final AlertEventQueue myQueue = theQueue;
if (ackOk)
Object popupObj = null;
synchronized (mutex)
if( hasBeenDismissed ) { return; }
// mark alert event as acknowledged (simply reset ack req flag)
ae_AlertEventInfo info;
Iterator i = theAlerts.values().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
info = (ae_AlertEventInfo) i.next();
if (info.sequenceId == seqId)
// even if ack wasn't required, doesn't hurt to set it
// to false again. But it is important to prevent the
// audible from playing again.
info.ackRequiredFlag = false;
info.alreadyPlayed = true;
// internally uses the vector index so
// process the queue acknowledge update within
// the synchronize block.
final ae_AlertEventInfo myAlertEventInfo = event.getAlertInfo();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.acknowledge(myAlertEventInfo);
myQueue.updateAcknowledgeButtonState();
// here we should stop playing sound
// if it is playing for this alert.
int seqId1;
if (theTonePlayer != null)
seqId1 = theTonePlayer.getSequenceId();
if (seqId1 == seqId)
if (! theTonePlayer.isStopped())
theTonePlayer.stopPlaying();
theTonePlayer = null;
// get reference to popup to be dismissed...
// The dismiss must take place outside of
// the mutex... otherwise threads potentially
// hang (user hits "ok" and is waiting for the
// mutex which is currently held by processing
// for a "move to summary" transition message.
// if the "dismiss" call in the transition
// message were done within the mutex, it might
// hang on the dispose method because the popup
// is waiting for the mutex...
// So call popup.dismiss() outside the mutex
// in all cases.
if(event.getSource() instanceof AlertEventPopup)
popupObj = (AlertEventPopup)event.getSource();
else
popupObj = thePopups.get(event.getAlertInfo());
thePopups.remove(event.getAlertInfo());
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
// search vector elements to determine icon color in main frame
String color = getColor();
fireUpdateEvent(new UpdateEvent(this, blinking, color));
// Call dismiss outside of the mutex.
if (popupObj !=null)
if(popupObj instanceof AlertEventPopup)
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setModal(false);
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setVisible(false); // xyzzy
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).dismiss();
else
// update feedback... ack failed
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.setInformationMessage("Acknowledge failed to reach server... try again");
return;
Code for RowHeaderRenderer is:
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
ImageIcon image = null;
RowHeaderRenderer(JTable table)
image = new ImageIcon(AlertEventQueue.class.getResource("images" + "/" + "alert.gif"));
theTable = table;
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
int level = 0;
try
level = Integer.parseInt(value.toString());
catch(Exception e)
level = 0;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
this.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
this.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setIcon(image);
else
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.gray));
setText("");
setIcon(null);
return this;
I tried but when i am clicking a particular label, the color of all labels in the List is being changed. So can you please assist me in changing color of only the label that is selected and the color must disappear after completion of Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);im a bit confused with the post so hopefully this will help you, if not then let me know.
I think the problem is that in your renderer your saying
setBackground(header.getBackground());which is setting the backgound of the renderer rather than the selected item, please see an example below, I created a very simple program where it adds JLabels to a list and the renderer changes the colour of the selected item, please note the isSelected boolean.
Object "value" is the currentObject its rendering, obviously you may need to test if its a JLabel before casting it but for this example I kept it simple.
populating the list
public void populateList(){
DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
JLabel newLabel = new JLabel(String.valueOf(i));
newLabel.setOpaque(true);
model.addElement(newLabel);
this.jListExample.setModel(model);
this.jListExample.setCellRenderer(new RowHeaderRenderer());
}the renderer
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus){
JLabel aLabel = (JLabel)value;
if (isSelected){
aLabel.setBackground(Color.RED);
}else{
aLabel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
return aLabel;

Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!
Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisago one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.
