Changing colors ONLY

OK, I have the menu done, and now I want to play with the colors of the individual menu Items.
Right now they are Greenish. I have a Paragraph style (and Object styles, calling the Para styles) with Green specified as the color.
What I want to do, is simply go out to all the text frames and change in one click all the green colors to (for example) Blue.
But the formatting changes when I do this so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bob
edited comment added. I think I see what is getting me. In the Changing Colors Paragraph Style, it sets the Font and Point. How do I get a style to just change the color and color only (leaving any formatting untouched)?

If you already have a style applied to this text, the simple thing to do is edit that style to change the color.
You could make a new style based on the other, changing only the color, but it would take longer to apply. Editing an existing style is an instantaneous way to make changes through the whole document in a single operation -- that's one of the big reasons why you use them.

How can to randomly color only half of the string?

hello
i need guidance in randomly coloring only half of the string, this string is also moving and changing color only in half part.

Your best bet would be to use crayola or magic marker. If your colorblind, read the labels on the crayons and they will say what the colors are.

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

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).

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Can I change color balance/tones in shadows/highlights only?

Let's say RGB #s tell me the blacks in my image have too much blue or the whites too much yellow, red, etc.
With Lightroom, can I change color balance in just the shadows or highlights separately? I know I can in CS3, just can't figure out how in LR.
I use Win XP.
THanks
P

You can use the Split Toning panel (see attachment). If the problem is in the deep shadows drag the balance to -90 or lower (-90 to -100), drag the saturation slider until you see the image appearance changing, then adjust hue slider until the colour cast is balance out. You may need to pull saturation back towards zero a tad after hue is adjusted. For highlights push the balance to positive values.

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

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,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.

I need help highlighting an expiration date on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the text/fill of a cell to change color when the expiration date of an item is within 180 days of the current date.

I need help highlighting cells on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the cell text/fill to change color when the date is 180 days or less from the current date. I already have a cell with the current date in it. I also know how to change the fill/text colors. All the cells have been formatted to show date only. I am having trouble with the formula. I can get to the Conditional Formatting menu and select "With Dates" but after that I am lost. Can anyone help?
Thank you for any assistance.

Set a Conditional Format rule as shown in the illustration below. The rule has been applied to all dates in column B of the table.

My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor. After major update on the Mac OS few days ago I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working. When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space, none of the swatches would work. The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

Dear Sadashivan
Thanks for your info.
I tried the way you mentioned.
However, the thing I want to do is not to change the font color of specified column.
The thing I want to do is to setup the threshhold such as percentage or amount
and emphasize the data which over the threshhold by changing the color
automatically.
Thanks anyway.

Change color of future typed text in a pasted document?

How do I change color of future typed text in a copied document? Thanks. My son is doing online home schooling this year and has Study Sheets that he types in his answers. Currently, he highlights his typed text then chooses the color. Is it possible to auto-format this somehow? Thanks!

Pages relies a lot on Styles. Either you can create a paragraph style with a green text colour or just create a character style with a text colour. Here is an image from a document with several character styles in colour.
In the second image I have instead created a Paragraph style with green text colour. This is the only way you can get a template to remember a change of colour as the default is alway black. To create the styles you click on the small triangle to the left of None (for character style) or Body (paragraph style) and choose Redefine style from selection. Save as Template.
More about this can you read in the Pages User Guide downloadable from your Pages Help menu.

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

Change color of font in part of email message

I can't figure out how to change the font color of just a certain part of my email. This should seem easy and it looks like you only highlight the text and click on colors. But that doesn't work. When I clicked on help it said go to preferences. This only changes the color of the font of specific text like quoted text. I want to just change the font color of a certain sentance or a few words. Surely you have to be able to do this right?
Thanks,
Frustrated PC to Mac user.

It sounds like you doing it correctly. I just created a test message, selected a couple of words and then clicked Format - Color and chose my color. The only text that changed color was what was selected. If that doesn't do it for you then I'd recommend using your AppleCare telephone support, you have 90 days of free support so take advantage of it!
