Changing system font colors?

Hi community,
I have been always a lover of dark backgrounds with light color fonts because it's much better for reading, at least for me.
1) Is there any way to change the way the system fonts color is displayed? I could change the background color using the options of the finder to a background gray color of 333333, but cannot change the font color to something around white, in order to get a better contrast between background and text.
2) It's possible to do the same in text editors?
Thanks in advance,
Mart

Hi,
Happens in the finder that the fonts are black, and I would like to change the font color from black (default) to white. If you take a look to the new Snow Leopard, you will notice that some texts are white over a dark gray background. That's aesthetically super cool, and much better for reading. Here is an snapshot of this thing: http://www.zone-numerique.com/uploads/News/090216/capturesnow_leopard_dock450.jpg You can see how good is the contrast with white over dark gray. I would love to have the whole OS set this way, instead white & light gray (default).
Thanks,
Mart

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Marcel

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

How to change the font color in a strict type def programatically

Could someone suggest a way to change the font color of a string indicator in a strict type def cluster programmatically? The cluster contains a label that is color-coded to match the function of the data channel represented by that cluster. The function of each channel is not predetermined, so the font color needs to be changed programmatically. To represent all channels, I have arranged a large cluster that contains 100 instances of the control. This makes it essential that the control be strictly type defined in order to change the layout of the clusters uniformly.
Can anyone suggest either a method by which I can let the control remain a strict type def and change the font color, or a method by which I can programmatically change the control from a strict type def to a type def? Currently, I am saving the control as a strict type def every time I make a change and then saving it again as a type def when I am ready to run the program. This works fine, but just seems inelegant. This color-coding is used throughout the program in various indicators, so a neat solution would be greatly appreciated.

As mentioned in my Nugget on Type definitions you can create strict type-defs that contain type-defs.
If you make your data definition a type and put that definition in a strict type-def (one of each flavor) you can use the appropraite strict type where each is required.
Yes the data structure will have another level of nesting so if you are "too far gone" you may not like this idea.
Otherwise you can write a VI that opens the typed-def and do a "save as..." and use it everytime you edit the type-def.
I hope something helps!

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

How can I change the font color in Live Type?

By trial and error, I also learned that the slide icon just to the right of the color box must be moved to the right in order for the new color to be visible. Of course, the amount to which the slide is moved determines the intensity of and color. Thanks for putting me on the right track (no pun intended).

In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

When composing an email, how do I highlight a word in yellow (NOT change the font color, just highlight)?

On Windows when composing an email, I would often highlight a word or sentence in yellow. I don't seem to have this option on my Mac Book Air toolbar as I did when I had on my laptop. How can I add this feature to my toolbar? I don't want to change the font color, just want to highlight a word within the email.
Thank you,

You may or may not be able to do this based on which e-mail client or webmail platform you're using. In your email options, you'll want to have the option to paste it as rich-text or HTML. If you only have the option for plain text then you're out of luck.

BI Customization-Can we change the font color in BI launchpad

Dear All,
I am working on BI customization and also able to implement the same as per our client needs(Logo change and BG color change).However Business expects us to change the font color Black (For example: Home & document tab font color is in black by default) to white color as the background color is dark Red.
Can you guide/help me to change the font related things and also where to edit to reflect the changes.
BO Version: BI 4.1.
Please find the attachment for reference.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Palanivel

Palanivel,
I have found a way, in the customize.css file, go to the following entry :
/* (8.1.2) customize module title backgorund */
.WindowThemeinfoview .titleBG {
    background-color: #EF6600 !important;
Under backround-color line add : color: #yourcolor e.g.
/* (8.1.2) customize module title backgorund */
.WindowThemeinfoview .titleBG {
    background-color: #EF6600 !important;
    color: #FFFFFF
This will change your font colour from the standard blue/grey.

Dan
