Changing Swatch color in a doc with no effect on other docs

I have a book containing multiple docs. I am using a color swatch, that I called "Chapter color". I used this swatch to distinguish the color of each doc (chapter). However, once I synchronize the book, all the docs retain the swatch color of the main doc (chapter 1), though I have deselected "Swatches" from >Synchronize Options. Pls HELP.

Lets go back for a moment. I don't mean to insult you at all, I just want to make sure we are all understanding each other correctly, and understanding what should be happening, and what is actually happening.
During synchronization, IF the option to include swatches IS checked, all document should wind up with the following: Any swatches with the same name as a swatch in the source document should be redefined to match the source. In addition, any other swatches from the source document, which are not already present in other documents, should be added to those documents. Additional swatches in other documents which don't appear in the source document should be unaffected.
From your description it sounds to me as if the option to synchronize swatches is really checked, not blank, so you should go back to verify that you have cleared the checkbox. As I mentioned above, if swatches are synchronizing should be able to bypass the problem by using a unique name in each document. As long as that name does not also appear in the source document it should remain unaffected. I'm suggesting that each document have its own swatch, uniquely named and not shared, for that element. You can accomplish this by just renaming the swatch.
If there is still a problem, my only conclusion is there is something wrong with your InDesign installation. What build, and what localized version of ID are you using? You can find the build number by opening the Help menu, then holding the CTRL key while you select About InDesign. The build will be in parentheses after the version number in the upper left corner of the dialog that should open.

Change swatch color inside swatch dialog box

In other words, say you have a PMS 485 swatch loaded in your palette and you want to change that swatch to PMS 286, it would be nice if you could double click on the 485 swatch and change the color from a drop-down menu, etc.

I've always done this with a Pantone colour guide at hand.
So if you've got a swatch of Pantone 485 (CMYK=0.97.100.0), just double-click on the swatch to get the CMYK reading Alter the name to Pantone 286 and alter the CMYK values to 100.66.0.2. Then everything that was red 485 will change to blue 286.
It's best not to import a new swatch of 286 while you have 485 running - if you do you will have to use Select Same Fill and Select Same Stroke and alter the colours from one swatch to the other with the accompanying danger of missing something.

How can I change the color of the font with the Property Inspector?

In Dreamweaver CS6, can one change the font color with the property inspector? How?
I don't know if I will automatically be notified when someone responds, and I don't want to be running back to this site every day to check. So if you have an answer for me, would you be kind enough to email me at [email protected]? Many thanks.

"Upgrade" and "improvement" are rarely synonymous.

There is still a font color button in DW. In the Properties window, click the CSS button in the lower left when you have text selected. There is a little gray square with a tiny black arrow in the corner for font colors. It still uses css, but will muddy up your text with inline styles which isn't generally the best way to do things.
One of the biggest advantages to using css is the ability to put all of your styles in one external .css file. That allows you to make a single change, to a color setting for instance, and have that change affect your entire site (everything you put a given css class on). As it stands, using the old html font-color attribute, or inline css forces you to go through the code with a fine tooth comb and change each individual setting.
CSS is a massive upgrade and improvement over the old method.
I would definitely suggest getting familiar with css, it really is required for any kind of modern website and ends up making your life much much easier while using the CSS Designer window in DW (which is where a lot of this stuff takes place now in a Design View development approach)...
http://w3schools.com/css is a good place to start.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the colors with the new update

Can anyone tell me how to change the colors on my IPhone with the new IOS update?

Nope, this only changes it to black and magenta. I wsh I could find it again, it's there I promise.. There is a whole list of colors, I changed it to red and want to see if black is better. Just don't care for all the blue..

How do you change the color of the title text?

The main title text for the tap your currently on shows up centered one line above the tab row. The default is black text, with a gray drop shadow, but that doesn't work with dark background themes/personas. How do I go about changing that text color so that its visible on a dark background. I've tried changing font stylings in general for the browser, and I've tried changing the color values in the about:config for the persona, but none of that works. How do you change the color of the title text?

That colors option under content doesn't change the color of the title text, but thanks anyways

Change frame color of brushed canvas theme

Dear all, is there a way to change the frame color of the brushed canvas theme? I've been trying to change the color to align it with my used colors but it looks like the background is a complete image. Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
PS: I'm using the newest version of keynote in Yosemite

Reading your post again I realise what you mean by frame.
The "frame" can't be altered on its own, the background is a single image file so the whole image is changed when altering colour.
A quick but rough Workaround is to place a rectangular shape on the slide, sized to cover the whole slide. Set with no fill, a coloured border around 50 pixels in width and the opacity reduced. It looks a bit muddy however.

Changing Font Color in JTextArea

This question may sound a bit ridiculous to more experienced programmers (I am new to this programming thing)
but I hope you will help me anyway.
My problem: How can I change the color of the font
within a JTextArea or other Swing text objects??
I could not find any method (like setFontColor) or font
constructor like Font(Color c).
Is it maybe possible to change the color with the UIManager ('look and feel')??
Thank you.

setForeground(color)

Can't change the color of a JButton when selected

I'm unable to change the color of a JButton with the following code:
UIManager.put("Button.select", Color.cyan);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
This works just fine with 1.2.2 but when I use 1.3.1 the JButton turns gray instead of cyan. What changed between these versions?

Hello,
I tested the following code and it works on JDK1.3.1:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RedButton {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Red");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(
JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container c = frame.getContentPane();
JButton defaultColor =
new JButton("Default Colors");
c.add(defaultColor, BorderLayout.NORTH);
UIManager.put("Button.background",
Color.RED);
JButton red =
new JButton("Red");
c.add(red, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.setSize(200, 100);
frame.show();
You also can use one of the following properties, instead of background:
Button.background
Button.border
Button.darkShadow
Button.focusInputMap
Buton.font
Button.foreground
Button.highlight
Button.light
Button.margin
Button.shadow
Button.textIconGap
Button.textShiftOffset
So, as you can see, there is no select Option.

Applescript to change color of path items with specific swatch from swatch group, multiple times

I am attempting to take a path item that is on its own layer and change its color multiple times, saving it each time.
I was able to do it with javascript however can't get it to work in applescript.
Javascript:
(Items are already selected that I intend to change.)
var iL = app.activeDocument.pathItems.length;
var colorSwatches = app.activeDocument.swatchGroups.getByName('newColors');
var allColors = colorSwatches.getAllSwatches();
var colorNames = Array();
for (var i = 0; i < allColors.length; i++){
    colorNames.push(allColors[i].name);
for (x = 0; x<colorNames.length; x++)
        var currentColor = allColors[x].name;
        for (i=0; i<iL; i++)
            var myItem = app.activeDocument.pathItems[i];
            if(myItem.selected)
                myItem.fillColor = app.activeDocument.swatches.getByName(currentColor).color;
(I then go on to save each one)
When trying to cross over into applescript I have the following so far:
               set iL to count every path item of document 1
               set colorSwatches to swatchgroup "newColors" of current document
               set allColors to get all swatches colorSwatches
               set swatchCount to count every item in allColors
               repeat with i from 1 to swatchCount
                    set currentSwatch to item i of allColors
                    repeat with x from 1 to iL
                        set myItem to path item i of document 1
               here is where I have no idea what I am doing... I can't figure out how to test if an item is selected
                        if myItem's has selected artwork is equal to true then
                            set fill color of myItem to {swatch:currentSwatch}
                        end if
                    end repeat
               end repeat
Or better yet is there a way I can select every path item of a layer and change its color that way?
Something like the following:
          set fill color of every path item of layer "art" of document 1 to {swatch:currentSwatch}
Thanks for any input!

I'm throwing it into a Applescript OBJc project I am working with. I currently have it in a javascript file within the actual project however this is the slowest part of my project and I'm going to attempt to speed it up some.
Let's say I'm changing the color of a path item 35 times... this starts to eat a ton of time up.
My applescript save illustrator file as jpeg is much faster than the javascript one for some reason...
It's also something I have needed to do numerous times in the past and never got around to asking.

Have a "sphere" with gradients, how do I change the colors?

I have an Illustrator file of a sphere though its not technically a sphere. Its a circle but when clicked, the frame edges that show on it seems to show is as being one, really dont know how to describe this. Its best to look at the attached screen shot. There are gradients also involved. Normally I would just change out the swatches but no swatches were saved for it. I have a better than average understanding of Illustrator and vector files but this one is throwing me for a loop. How would I go about changing the colors of the gradients in this?

Wade_Zimmerman wrote:
Select the object, then select the gradient panel click the marker you want to change then option click a color or swatch you want it to change to.
There you are.
But first check with the appearance panel by first selecting the art and the in the appearance panel see if it has a 3D effect.
BY the way if you want to let us see you screenshot click on the camera icon and attache the file that way.
under Appearance, I have "Mesh Points" and "Mixed Appearances". Nothing seems to be grouped so i cant seem to separate what those mixed appearances are.
I looked at the gradient panel. It does show dark to light orange but it doesnt show any little tabs to adjust or if its liner or radial.

How to change a swatch color without losing the "global" status

Hiya Forum! AppleScripting-Newbie talking.
For an automated EPS-export using AppleScript and Illustrator CS4 on a G5 Mac running Mac OS X I need to change a global swatch's color. It needs to go form black:75 to black:55 and remain global, thereby changing the color of all the path items in the document. It works very well with a doubleclick on the swatch.
While changing the color seems to be quite trivial with "set properties of swatch to {color:{black:55}}", it then loses the global.
All my beatiful boxes remain dark grey, looking awful and depressed.
Please tell me there's a way to help me!
Thank you very much!
I hope I gave you all the information you may need. If I didn't please tell me so my next questions will be more accurate.

Hi,
I've had the same issue and I finally figured it out!
I use Javascript.
Global swatches are kept inside the active document as spot colors, so instead of swatches[i] you need to address spots[i].
And then it works.

Help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...

help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...
Tried re-launching application, re-booting PC in case of a technical glitch. Something with graphics frames that needs to be re-stored that I am unaware of?
I also tried creating a new page, importing another image and still experiencing the issue.
How do I "re-set" my settings so it will work once again?
Thank you!

Here's the info on resetting your prefs: Replace Your Preferences
But that's not likely the problem. Are you sure the images are really grayscale mode? What format are they saved in? They cannot be colorized in ID if they are transarent or lack a Background layer.

Is there a way to change a swatch color globally in the psd document?

Hi there,
I often use a photoshop template to create work and was wondering id there was a way to select all items that use a particular swatch color and change them to another swatch color? Right now, I have to find each instance I use that particular color and change them one by one to the new color and was trying to find a better way to do this.
Thanks!

There's a slim chance that Image > Mode > Indexed Color may help you but the mode has many limitations which will probably make it unsuitable for your work. When doc is indexed colour, use Image > Mode > Color Table to change colours throughout doc.

My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

Hi
I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File
size is 16 MB, there are just 10 pivot tables with some calculations and some calculated fields. There are no add-ins other than PowerPivot.
Thanks,
Shanker

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you receive any error message?
Which Excel version are you using? Excel 2013 or other?
Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
Are you performing any specific task?
According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Thirdly, if the issue still exists, we may try to collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do advanced troubleshooting.
