Changing text-colour for links

I can change the text-colour on my web-pages for ordinary text, but not for links. Is there any way around this ?

If you upgrade to iWeb '08 or '09, you'll get this panel in the Inspector's Link tab:

I can't change the colour of linked text?

I have a black background on the side of my web page containing the menu bars which requires the link text to be white so it can be
seen. I also have it set to change to yellow when you hover over it.
The problem is that this setting seems universal throughout the website and I cannot get the links in general text (such as 'contact
us' links, etc) on each page to change colour - they default to white which doesn't show up as the background is also white.
i have tried creating a CSS rule for links in the body of a page but to no avail.
Can I change the colour of links on different parts of the website?
I am relatively new to dreamweaver with little knowledge of CSS, etc but I'm sure this must be possible.

Yes it is possible to have differen coloured links..
You need to look at Pseudo-classes / descendant selectors:

Changing text colour in Pages for ios...button missing

I'm trying to find a way to change text colour in a document, -all available information states that there is a button, with an i on it (info button) to adjust settings such as font colour, that button is mysteriously absent for me.
The toolbar would need to look like the screenshots in this article for me to follow the instructions to format text colour: http://www.topappreviews101.com/pages-ipad-app-5.html
My buttons look like the ones in the screenshot here: http://www.ipadou.com/nouveautes-des-applications-apple-apres-la-keynote
I do have various formatting option with the buttons I have on mine, but not any that will allow me to format the text colour i.e the instructions available to me tell me to press a nonexistent button.
am I going mad/has something recently change/is there anything I can do about it?!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I could not get your links to show me what you were looking for, but I just opened pages and figured out how to change font color. I am using the most current version of pages for its, so I don't know if this works on older versions.
If I screw the instructions up, simply open a document in pages, touch the wrench then help, and search for color. Then look in the style section.
Anyway. Highlight the text you want to be in a different color. Touch the paintbrush looking icon in the tool bar. The touch style. Then touch the name of the font. ( or change the font). A color setting will appear. Pick what you want.

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Simple question whcih i cannot find the simple answer to: How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Hi Lecia,
You have several choices.
Use the first set of controls in the Format Bar. One of these is a Color well (red in the image). Select the cell(s) in which you want the text coloured, then click the well to open its Color palette, and choose your colour.
Use the Text Inspector. Open the inspector, click the Text button (T), and use the tools there (similar to the set in the Format Bar).
Press command-T to open the Fonts Window. This offers a few more options than are available in the Inspector or the Format bar.
Regarding "Help": I'd recommend using the Numbers '09 User Guide, which you can download via the Help menu. Easier to search, and easier reading than the individual Help articles. search 'text color' to quickly get to instructions on applying colour to text.

Barry

Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

Hi all,
Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
Possible or not?

RH Automatically Changing HTML Code for Links

For some reason, RH is doing something to the links I create. In my stylesheet, I have the following code for links:
a {
 color: #054abc;
 cursor: pointer;
a:hover {
 color: #336699;
 text-decoration: none;
a:active {
 color: #333333;
When I create a link, the HTML code looks like this *at first*:
<a href="Development_Plan.htm">Development Plan</a>
But then, after I save the file and switch to HTML view, the code looks like this:
<a href=" Development_Plan.htm" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">Transcript</a>
I am not doing anything other than saving the file, and that apparently causes RH to automatically add the style (color and text-decoration). Why is RH adding that? It's causing my links not to change color when you hover over them.
How can I make RH stop doing that, so my links display as defined in the stylesheet?

Hi,
This is strange behaviour. How exactly do you create a hyperlink? I have seen this behaviour only with links that are empty or contain a single space.
As a workaround, in your css, add the !important declaration to your hover styles:
a:hover
Although this isn't an elegant solution, it will overwrite the inline styling of the link and thus change colour on hover.

JTable Change Foreground colour for a row

Hi,
I have a JTable. Each column has its own cell renderer. One is the renderer having a checkbox, one is the renderer for a combo box etc. So I have a table of 5 columns.
The first 2 columns are have simple text data (jtextfields)
The Third column shows a combobox
The fourth column shows a combobox
The fifth column has simple text data. (same as first 2 columns)
So totally I use 3 custom tablecellrenderor's, one for plain text, one for combobox cell and one of checkbox cell.
Now In my fifth column I show error codes. Based on the error code value of 5th column, I need to set a different foreground colour of the entire corresponding row. How do i proceed.

I have made the changes in my Custom Table class ("MyTable.java"). But the output seems Buggy. Initially when the table loads the required table foreground is highlighed in Red. But when I start clicking elsewhere the other cells randomly becoming red and the default colour. How do I handle this.
Since My Project contains 6 files( of which SimpleTableTest.java is the main class), I am not listing all the files as it would become too big a post. I have zipped up the code and sending you the download link

BUG: Changing text colours within a text block: Keyboard shortcuts problem (Photoshop CS5)

In earlier versions of Photoshop, I could double click a Paragraph Text to edit it, then select individual words and change their colours using the Ctrl+Backspace and Alt-Backspace keyboard shortcuts (to change them to either Background or Foreground colours).
In PhotoShop CS5, Alt+Backspace is OK, but Ctrl-Backspace deletes the highlighted word! Not good. I believe this is a bug, can it be fixed to revert to the old behaviour?
(Photoshop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64)

I fully understand what you're saying, and while I'm all for compatibility, user interface change cannot be accomplished without, well, change.
Imagine, for example, that thousands of people could have reported that they couldn't delete the prior word with Ctrl-Backspace while using the T tool in Photoshop, while they could with every other application on their systems. Imagine that none of the users like you reported that they were happy with things the way they already are.
Perhaps the best approach in a situation like this would have been for Adobe to add a configuration option somewhere to allow individual users to make the choice. But EVEN THEN there's a push from the Marketing types to simplify the number of choices given to customers, probably because doing so reduces support costs (imagine, for example, someone brainlessly setting it to your flavor of Ctrl-Backspace, then calling support to complain that they can't delete the prior word as they have always been able to do). There are a lot of requests on this forum that read like "I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it."
Microsoft and Adobe have both moved lately in this direction (reducing choices and configurability), reportedly to "reduce the cognitive load" on presumably ever less intelligent users, with ill effects in many cases. Unfortunately, "you can have it any way you like so long as it's our way" seems to be the way of the future.

Change one colour for another.

Quite simply I'd like to swap one colour for another: maybe to turn all black into red and leave the rest as it is...or select greens only and make them blue. I've found various ways to adjust and alter colours but usually the entire picture is altered not just one element of it (eg., Enhance > color > Hue/saturation) . I'm using Pshop LE but I think this would be a universal feature...can't seem to find it though! Hope you can suggest something...

Most forums wouldn't accept a reply four years later, but the information sure helped me four years later. Henrik said:
What about Enhance > Adjust Color > Replace Color, is that tool available in PS LE?
It's available Photoshop Elements 6.0 and it totally did the job for me. Someone had scanned some text for me and a lot of the background was grey. In only two operations, I changed one colour grey background to white (actually maximum lightness) and the remaining colour grey to white. I didn't know there really was such a feature, just that I wanted there to be that feature, and I don't know that I'd ever have guessed where to find it. It took me about 3 minutes total to find the forums and find this answer and do what I wanted. Am I ever happy. Thanks for the information.

Changing text colour affecting more than one text box

I am creating a word cloud in a shape as a design.
I want to use only 3 colours for the words randomly. Each word is in a seperate text box
I am finding however that when I change the colour of one word it automatically changes a few? I cant work out why?

What I've done in the past is
Find out how many characters per line.
Setup character style called VarLine 1, VarLine 2, VarLine 3 etc.
Set up a paragraph style for your text.
Go to the nested style.
VarLine 1 up to # characters
VarLine 2 up to # characters
VarLine 3 up to # characters
etc.
Set up your Variables for
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Then set each one to pick up the appropriate VarLine character style.
This works to a certain extent, it will need tweaking, as each application is different. I'm not sure if it will work in your case, but you never know.

Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

Change text colour in mail replies

with Community Support help, I have found the 'colour' icon and how to get it on the toolbar when composing an email, but it's not an option in the 'reply' or 'reply all' mode - the choices to customize the toolbar there are far fewer and don't include 'colour'. It's a pain to have to highlight and go thfough the menus and submenus all the time, is there a way to get round this? I like to reply withing the body of quoted text and the only way this is workable is to use a different colour for the text - it was siample before i upgraded a few days ago to Lion! GRRRRR!

In the Reply window, click the Text button in the Toolbar -
and a new section will be added underneath the Toolbar. This section provides text formatting controls, including a button for Text color -

How can I change the colour for standard captions?

Hi,
I work with Captivate 6. I want to change the background colour for the standard captions (hint/failure) etc. When I go the style manager, I can select a Bitmap with the colour I'd like to use, but Captivate doesn't display the colour. The caption is now displayed transparent?!?
Hope someone can help me, thanks!
Best regards

If you want to change the default caption style in a new project (and in that project alone), create the new project and change the default caption style or clone the default caption style and set it as default. Already created captions can be forced to take on the new default style, using the Properties panel.
If you want to change the default styles for several future projects, use the Object Style Manager before opening or creating a new project.
