Changing monitor window background colors?

I've recently switched to Premiere Pro CS4 from Premiere 6.5.  I animate a lot of still images.  When rotating them or reducing their size, the default black background color in the monitor window is sometimes revealed.  How do I sample a color from the still image and change the monitor window's background color to match it?

It would seem odd that such a basic and useful function would be deleted from the program.  After Effects still has this function, so why wouldn't the new Premiere?
Unfortunately, I doubt that anyone here can answer that question for you, as we're all just users.
I would strongly suggest that you file a Feature Request for that to be reinstated in the next version.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Hi,
    When system is in a sleep mode or hibernate mode, it will save the data ans settings in memory or hard disk, so I suggest you run a memory check and a harddisk check and see if it can detect any errors.
    Memory check (instruction is similiar to windows 8\8.1, type "memory" in the search charm bar)

  • 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).

  • Is it possible to change the CS4 background color?

    I am doing a job which requires lots of screengrabs of images and settings against the usual dark gray CS4 background. The problem is that the guidelines you adjust to form a rectangle round the image you're grabbing are dark grayish too and it's difficult to see it against the gray background. Is there any way to temporarily change the dark gray CS4 window background color? I'm running under Vista and changing the window and application background colors in Vista makes no difference to the background color in CS4 which sticks at dark gray.
    Thanks.
    David

    Thanks.
    Geoff - Changing the color in Full Screen with Menus has no effect. The dark gray is still there after a close CS4 and open.
    Thanks for the alternative approach. The Faststone screengrab process is quicker. It's just a nuisance you can't change the color or thickness of the grabbing lines.
    Rob - which background? When I right click on the CS4 background - the working area with nothing in it - I get no context menu. I get nothing in fact.
    I am surprised that the Prefernces/Interface changes don't work but they don't seem to.
    I have done abou 160 screen grabs and probably have another 3-400 to do.

  • 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 :

    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.

    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...

  • Acrobat DC - window background color

    I've just installed DC and the new interface looks great, but I would like to be able to change the window background colour from white without having to go to fullscreen mode. It's grey in other versions of Acrobat.
    At the moment, it's very hard to see what the page size is when it's a white page on a white background.

    Hi, I just updated some Adobe Creative Cloud Apps today and without realising it I've installed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and this has uninstalled the old Acrobat Pro. Suddenly I have a new interface with an extremely light grey background, as mentioned here, which makes it very hard to distinguish my document. Reading this thread it appears I'm not the only one disappointed with this. I find it hard to believe Adobe did this in the first place but I'm even more upset that it's now over a month since these posts above and still there's no option to change the background colour! Please correct this soon!
