Changing default colors to a dark grey background, can no longer see gmail buttons.

The bright white pages of most web sites hurt my eyes and I really enjoy making pages a grey color.
After changing Preferences/Content/Color/Background to a dark grey I really love how everything looks especially search pages, google calendar, gmail etc.
The problem is that many buttons have disappeared. These buttons are icons I believe so I do not understand why the background color would make them dissapear.
inspection of a gmail button that is now just an outline with no text or icon as follows:
<div class="asa"><div class="asf T-I-J3 J-J5-Ji"></div></div> //inner html
<div aria-label="Refresh" data-tooltip="Refresh" style="-moz-user-select: none;" class="T-I J-J5-Ji nu T-I-ax7 L3" act="20" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="asa"><div class="asf T-I-J3 J-J5-Ji"></div></div></div> //outer html

<blockquote>
so I believe much of the problem lies in the fact that many icons and graphics use transparency and that may be why they cannot render when I force a dark background using FireFox preferences for color.
</blockquote>
It is because, when you <em>force</em> a dark background using the checkbox, you also prohibit use of background <i>images</i>. There is no meaningful HTML except for an id or a class to which the CSS attaches a "background" image (which is probably a simply bad practice).

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • Change default colors of charts

    Hello everyone,
    is it possible to change the default background color and fonts color of charts? I know about changing the line colors (which I have already done according to our corporate design), but I did not find anything about setting background colors by default. We have two different themes (a dark and a bright one) and I don't want to copy the charts just to apply different colors to it.
    Thank you in advance
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I understand that BI 11g, gives some standard colors to the chart (The first preference might be blue ;) If I remember correctly). However, say you would like to change the color of the chart to green, I think we cannot directly override its color. Instead we can take a approach of chart options based on position at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10544/creatingviews.htm#CHDDEFEF
    As per the above link, we can give custom color to the bars based on the order they come up. Like in a group, 1st one blue, 2nd one green, 3rd yellow etc.
    So if you have only one bar per graph, use this setting to specify the graph color using position =1
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Change (default) color 'blue'

    Hello experts,
    my problem: i want to change the default color 'blue'. In 'green'. I meen for example ui-element captions is with the attribute rowBackgroundDesign blue, or by tables with CellDesign standard are the readOnly columns blue. I want it in green.
    Can anybody help me? What must i do?
    Thanks for help
    greetings
    Raier

    Hi Rainer,
    there is no direct property like semanticcolor for label , you have to change through kind off design..
    which release you are working on.. i have an idea u go to application configuration in admin mode and go to UI element property and as ulltimately HTML is rendered so there is a trick to handle this..
    For the “Width” parameter, you enter
    6ex; color: white; font-weight:bold; background-color: yellow
    this is a trick and it works for releases prior to NW 7.1
    Let me know if it needs more explanation..
    Regards

  • Dark Grey Background instead of transparency, how to fix?

    Windows, PS CS4. I'm trying to erase part of an image such that there is nothing there. However, when I erase the part of the background layer (I have no layers below it, and none above occupying the same space), I do not see the chequered transparency pattern, but dark grey. This grey also remains part of the image as if it were a colour rather than being transparent. To be specific, it is the white between the borders of a comic I am trying to erase. Thanks.

    Your settings for the tranparency in the preferences look fine, but your erasing on a locked background layer, which will not show the transparency grid, just whatever color you have for the background swatch in the toolbox.
    In order to get transparency in the example image, the background layer needs to be converted a regular layer by double clicking
    on the layer thumbnail in the the layers panel. (the background eraser automactically converts the locked background layer to a regular layer)
    some basics about layers:

  • Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

    Hi all,
    We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap.  Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet.  When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color.  I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel.  Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

  • Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

    I've looked and looked, and even Googled.  Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file?  In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser. 

    I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues.  However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content.  I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
    If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference.  This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

  • IPad mini safari search bar changed to grey and can no longer clear history

    What has happened?  The panel in safari where you type in web addresses use to be white with black type now it's all grey with white type.  It's awful.  Also I used to be able to clear history but can no longer do this.  Need this option as looking for Christmas presents and don't want kids to see.
    Will be so grateful if anyone can get my ipad back how it was.

    Are you referring to the new colors of iOS 7? If that's the case then there is no way to change it.
    To clear your History:
    1 Tap the Bookmark icon (the one next to the cloud and + icons.
    2 Tap Bookmarks > Select History
    3 Hit Clear (Notice the Clear icon at the bottom).

  • Changed my email address / hence my Apple ID - can no longer update my purchased apps

    I changed my email address. Logged into the iTunes Store and changed my address  - which is also my Apple ID. The change was applied. I can now low into the iTunes Store with my new email address. But I can no longer update my purchased apps. The iTunes Store claims I don't own the originals and suggests I purchase them. ***? I used their site to make the change. I did not simply open a new account, though that's how the store seems to be treating me. How do I get this reconciled?

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
