Code Coloring - black background

Has somebody Dreamweaver 8 configured to use black background
in Code Editor? If so, please distribute the ColorCodings XML files
somewhere.
Thank you very much
cs

If you are comfortable manually editing Registry/Preferences
and raw
XML, then try this:
1. Shutdown DW
2. Edit Configuration/CodeColors/Colors.xml and do a global
change of
"#000000" (black) to "#FFFFFF" (white).
Note: be sure to edit Colors.xml in your User (not
Application)
Configuration folder. This TechNote explains the difference:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16420
3. (On Windows) Using regedit, go to:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Tag
Colors
Change all "#000000" (black) values to "#FFFFFF" (white)
Change "Background Color" to "#000000"
Close regedit
4. Restart DW.
You may need to tweak a few settings in Code Coloring editor,
but that
should get you most of the way there.
Hope this helps,
Randy

White lines of code on black background upon starting up

I recently sent my Macbook in due to problems with the screen going dark for no reason. Upon recieving the laptop back, I noticed problems upon starting. When I restart my laptop, there are white lines of code on a black background. I called in to support, but my support expired and here I am searching for help. They told me that I needed to try and reset my drivers, or my HDD is bad. To reset my drivers they gave me a combination of keys to press upon restarting, but I don't remember the combination of keys. I have repaired my disk using the install CD, but still am having problems.
It's crazy that I send my laptop in and get it back with other problems... Any help is appreciated becuase Apple surely isn't helping.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Core Duo w/ Bootcamp

Turn the computer off. Wait one minute. Restart. If you are still booting into single-user mode (black screen with white print) then at the prompt enter:
reboot
Then press return. If this does not start you up into OS X then there's a system problem. You will need to reinstall OS X. You can do this using the Archive and Install option that does not require you to erase the hard drive. Your old system will be archived in a Previous System Folder at the root of the hard drive.
Before performing the Archive and Install you should do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with the OS X installation.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.

Trying to use windows in high contrast mode but DW CC goes all black background too and I loose code coloring. I dont mind the black, but code coloring must be essential

Is there a way to keep the code coloring when using windows in high contrast appearance?

Sorry, I don't have your version, but have you checked in your personal configuration folder and editing these files?

Printing AnyGantt creates black background color

I use a customized AnyGantt chart. When I try to print it on a page A3 I get a mean issue with the background color. It becomes black. The Chart itself looks good.
When I try the same with examples from AnyChart.com the no black background appears. I don't see a difference.
The black background occurs with my PDF Creator, my real printer and if I save it as a picture.

For your information. I opened a ticket by AnyChart:
Hi AnyChart-team!
I have a huge problem with printing an AnyGantt chart.
The description of problem:
When I use the following syntax in my style section:
<styles>
   <period_styles>
    <period_style name="p1">
      <bar_style>
        <labels>
          <label>
            <text>{%start}</text>
            <font color="Black" />
          </label>
        </labels>
        <middle shape="Full">
          <fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
          <border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
        </middle>
      </bar_style>
        </period_style>
    </period_styles>
</styles>The print output crashes with the effect that some shapes are not visible anymore. If I use no Label styles then it works:
<styles>
   <period_styles>
    <period_style name="p1">
      <bar_style>
        <middle shape="Full">
          <fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
          <border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
        </middle>
      </bar_style>
        </period_style>
    </period_styles>
</styles>I came along another issue with an old Flash Player version and tried the newest one: 10,1,102,64
Then this issue came up. In the older version: 10,8,84 it worked without any issues.
The PDF: Flash.pdf shows the problem.
I do not understand the black background color inside the PDF either?

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

Using InDesign CS3, PC.
I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
Thank you,
Cathy

Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

Black background of title turns color when adding fairy dust effect

I have iMovie HD 5. I created a title using the animated gradient effect with orange font color and with the "over black" box checked. i then went to add an effect to the title clip, the "fairy dust" effect. After the effect is applied, the black background changed to the orange font color. In the previews, the background remained black when I added the effect. What can I do? Thank you

OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

Thanks for that, but what I asking was how to change the OSX default filename font color from black to white, so it becomes more easily visible when dark backgrounds are selected in icon view, eg the same way the Desktop default does, except when files are not on the Desktop.
or to put it another way:
if anyone's worked out an easy way to how to change the color of the font itself, rather than changing the folder/filename background using File, Label, Color, eg because light colors may already be in use as Labels, and so mean something else.
or as explored in this archived discussion:
How to change the color of the file name Font in Finder window and Desktop

Perhaps this is easy for programmers but not for users???

WORD doc x files show lettering changed from black to white with black background, colors have black background

WORD doc x files received open with black lettering changed to white with black backgrounds. Color images have black backgrounds. There is no issue for non MAC users. How can I open the document as sent? Thank you.

Pages (any version) is not a word clone, and may not digest Word documents as accurately as their native Microsoft application. Pages v5 is also far from feature/functionality complete, and that only compounds this issue.
Suggest you download/install the free LibreOffice and open the Word documents with it. Do the artifacts persist in LibreOffice?

Black background and white text physically hurts & creates ghosting. Please add UI color toggle.

Hi,
The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state. :(

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

If it is not too distracting, I like to overlay the credits on a still scene that sort of sums up the whole movie....just so the credits are not overshadowed by the background. That worked well for a movie of a little league baseball game and my favorite baseball little leaguer.
Another time, for a birthday celebration for a retired very special person, I used rolling credits against just a smiling face of the birthday person with a chiming like version of happy birthday music. I kept everything light and readable with a balance between face and credits. Then as the credits ended, I eased into a thank you to him title followed by cameo shots of faces with names (about 3 cameos per image) of all the people who attended the gathering for this special person. So many times as the years go by there will be a person watching the video and asking who is that? So, my cameos were gently placed and presented and served the purpose of letting everyone know/remember who was who.
I tend to let the work direct me in all decisions in creating the credits. Probably white is the generalized answer for lettering against a black background. Just white rolling credits on black does not necessarily grab by attention. But that is a generalization that may not apply to your specific project.
Just some thoughts.
