Changing the highlight color of a JMenuBar

I'm trying to change the highlight color of a JMenuBar. I�m using the METAL lookandfeel which by default highlights with a purple color. I would also like to know how its done on a JTable, I assume it is quite similar.

UIDefaults uid = new com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel().getDefaults();</code>
Note that this will print the default properties for the Windows Look&Feel, not the Metal Look&Feel.

    Oh!  I understand now.  See screenshot below.  It's called "Character Fill Color":

  • How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

    Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
    Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
    I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

    I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

  • How do I change the highlight color?

    When I'm working on my document in Pages, I often do a Search (command-F) to quickly find a word or phrase that appears somewhere else in the document. It works great, but it highlights the word/phrase in light gray, which I have trouble seeing. Is there a way to change the highlight color to yellow, or any other color, making the word/phrase easier to see?

    You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • How do I change the highlight color of my PDF file?

    On my PDF files, I'm able to highlight text, but cannot figure out how to change the color of the highlight.  I've got Adobe Reader, and also paid to upgrade - but honestly, I'm not sure which program I have.  This is the most confusing application I've ever used!

    Hey,
    You are most welcome
    Yes, you can change existing highlight color also.
    For this, go to 'Comment List' on the right hand side and select any one comment.
    Now, press 'cmd+A' to select all the comments in the list and then 'control click' to choose 'Properties' from the pop down.
    Choose highlight color as desired from 'Highlight Properties' dialog box.
    Please check and let me know.

  • Is there a way to change the highlight color for buttons?

    I swear, iDVD has got to be the most counter-intuitive program Apple has made in recent memory. I'm a huge Apple fan but this program makes me want to throw my computer at the freaking wall.
    All I want to do is change the ugly yellow highlight color of the buttons (which appears when you select them) in the DVD menu. I'm making a wedding video, and the DVD menu is all silver, gray, black and white, so the yellow color that it defaults to looks hideous.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Good day Glenn,
    You may want to consider upgrading from Acrobat 9.5 Standard to Acrobat X Pro.  Acrobat X Professional has the redaction tool which is really easy to use. 
    You could also accomplish the workflow you described in your question.  If you right-click the tool-bar, and enable the Properties Bar, you can change the color of your highlighter tool to black.  Then you can 'highlight' the text you would like to eliminate.  After you're done, print the document to the Adobe PDF printer with 'Document and Markup' selected under the 'Comments and Forms' drop-down menu to 'refry' your PDF.
    Hope this helps!
    Kind regards,

  • How do I change the highlight color of forms?

    I'm using Acrobat Pro X.
    I need the form highlights to be transparent when another user opens the pdf, views and fills individual forms out.
    Trying to keep this very simple for end user. I don't want to give the user instruction on how to go to preferences and change highlight color. 
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    Wow!  I was trying too hard I guess.   Will this bypass the preferences set
    on another users computer?
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I change the highlight color in iBooks?

    After the last update of iBooks app, I can’t change the color of the highlighter. I press down and hold on a piece of highlighted text, but the color and notes toolbar doesn’t pop-up. Is anyone else having this problem? Fixes?

    Hi,
    I just tried it.  After a section was highlighted, I just tapped once on it and the color options popped up.  Tapping once does the trick..... rather than holding down and pressing, which I agree would have been my first choice, too.
    Best of luck

  • I want to create a spread sheet in numbers and be able to change the highlight color of a row.

    I have created a spreadsheet in numbers that allows me to track certain items throughout the day. 
    Some of the cells I have customized so that when I'm using the iPhone, it is easy to input the data. 
    My question is this:  Can I also customize a button (say to the far left to get the entire row) so that I can highlight a row of data (red, yellow, green) to indicate the status of the data?  I know that I can do it by manually selecting the row and then going through the steps.  I want to make it a selectable "one-click" option.
    Just to clarify:  This numbers doc is uploaded to iCloud and I change the data depending on where I'm at.  At Home/Office, I use the mac.  During the day I'll use my iPhone or iPad.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a million

  • How do I change the highlight in the latest version of Pages?

    It looks like in Pages (I am currently using version 5.2) I can choose Insert > Highlight. This is great, however, how do I change the highlight color? It seems like yellow is the only option. I'm sure there is a simple and intuitive method that I am missing. Thanks for any help!

    Thank you for the quick reply, however, if I understand correctly your link is helpful for Character Fill Color, not highlights.
    Please find the quote below in this link:

    "Note:   Text that you highlight by adding a color behind it (in the Format inspector) isn’t tracked in the review toolbar."

  • How do I change the default color (gray) that 'Edit - Find' uses?

    When I search for a key word in a PDF file viewed in Safari web page using Edit -> Find 
    It defaults to highlighting the text it finds in light gray which is very hard to see. I would like to change the highlight color to something much easier to see on the page - like red for instance.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • 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.
