Color of icons look off

For some reason, icons in the Dock and Expose are looking really drab... especially Firefox. I thought it was just my eyes, but then I pulled the same icon in Preview and compared the two. Colours just are as vibrate as they should be.
See for yourself:

I haven't changed any colour settings... clearly it's not that... if it was, the icon would be equally drab across the board.
Any ideas at all? I'm stumped.

Apple the 10.6.2 update, but get the combo updater instead of going thru system prefs/software update:

Then recalibrate your display to insure that the new (PC) gamma is applied.

  • What does the "color picker" icon look like?????

    I am a complete novice with Photoshop.
    What does the Color Picker icon look like in Photoshop CS4 and where do I find it?  Is this also called the 'Color sampler tool"?

  • I think the io7 icons looks cheap how do I get my old look back

    I think the io7 icons look cheap.  How do I get my old look back?

    I wouldn't have upgraded if I had the choice. I saw the new look months ago and hated it. I even emailed Apple back then, like they even read what customers want anyway! I started using my iPad this morning to find that several apps didn't work, including my mobile banking app. I hate the upgrade, but had no choice if I wanted to use the apps I use most. Apple is forcing everyone to "upgrade" to its tacky new look. I want detail and color on my iPad. The retina display does not make the new stick figure drawing that my 5 year old could do look any better. It's not a cleaner, more streamlined look. It's a cheap and tacky look!

  • Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

    Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

    No - I got the iMac 27 because it was calibrated at the factory(?) and was highly recommended by friends and photographers. No complaints  at all, but this printer issue is driving me crazy. I was thinking that if I upgraded to an epson pro printer ICC profile will be on there website. I can't find any for the 835. By the way I didn't calibrate the old dell monitor either and I have had several photos published with no problem at all. Just a note, on epson website there are no printer stating they will run with 10.10 Yosemite. I was looking at the R2000 series. Right now I editing photos that I have to have ready by Jan, maybe by then epson will have something ready.

  • Folders colors and icons

    Aesthetics aside, the new light blue folder icons are much more difficult to read/see. My eyesight for my age is somewhat typical, but what about all of the people out there with much more limited vision? Apple should take this into consideration when making such major changes to their GUI. The colored folder icons in the Tiger GUI were much better.
    What is the procedure for getting change/update requests to Apple for consideration?
    Thank you.

    Of course, it seems to be very busy right now. Page wouldn't finish loading in a reasonable amount of time, so it looks like LOTS of people are sending in their complaints.
    I've been busily creating a raft of custom icons and pasting them where needed. It looks like Leopard's GUI was designed by young artists more concerned with aesthetics than what is useful, especially what is useful for aging eyes!

  • High resolution color on PDFs look bad

    When I upload a high resolution PDF to Creative Cloud Files, the color looks off.
    Low resolution versions look fine.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Robert

    This STILL hasn't been fixed. It's causing a lot of problems in my approval workflow as my clients see the over saturated/innaccurate color in the preview and are thinking that it's correct.
    A perfect example is http://adobe.ly/1pIeGwT
    If you look at it in the browser it's over saturated and the color is shifted. If you download the PDF the colors are correct.
    This needs to be fixed ASAP, it's been over a month.

  • How can I create a Tree with Color Picker icons?

    I'm a newbie to Flex. I want to create a tree which has color
    picker icons.
    As an analogy for the Mac users out there, I envision a
    control like the Calendars section in iCal, where you can specify
    the color for each individual node. These colors are then used in
    other parts of the application.
    The Flex 3 documentation specifies four methods for setting
    node icons on a Tree control, none of which seems to suit my needs:
    -The folderOpenIcon, folderClosedIcon, and defaultLeafIcon
    properties
    -Data provider node icon fields
    -The setItemIcon() method
    -The iconFunction property
    In other words, I want to "setItemIcon" to an mx:ColorPicker,
    if that makes any sense.
    Is there a standard way of doing this? If not, how can I go
    about implementing such a control? Thanks in advance!

    well, Network UI should be used.

  • The Finder Icon "jumped" off my dock..how do i get it back?

    Hi. I just got my new MacBook earlier today and I was moving some of the dock icons around and somehow the Finder icon "jumped" off the dock and is now no longer selectable. It just sits on the desktop and hovers above all other programs but behind the dock. I can't click on it or move it or even select it using the lassoo, so any ideas what I could try? Or anybody have a clue what happened/has this happened to anyone before?
    here's a picture:
    It's not like it's something I could've manually removed. I've tried moving the finder before and you can't do it. (this isn't my first OS X mac)
    I'm just as baffled as you are.

  • HP Color LaserJet 1500L - drops off the 802.11n network

    My HP Color LaserJet 1500L drops off the network (it just stops printing). This happens when it is plugged into the usb bus of my new 802.11n base station or directly into the usb bus of a computer. The only way to fix it seems to be to plug it directly into a computer and unplug the usb plug and replug it, or to add the printer again. This problem has occurred in the past, but over time, and after various upgrades to the operating systems and hardware, etc, the situation tends to change. Before I installed the 802.11n base station the printer was staying in contact with my computers, but now it is misbehaving again. I doubt there is a real solution out there now, because it happened before and I never did discover a direct fix, but I thought the problem to be worth posting. This problem does not happen with my Canon PhotoPrinter iP6000S, which sticks to my network like glue whereever I plug it in (airport express, airport extreme, direct to computer, etc.) The HP loses contact with either of my computers in exactly the same way.
    Mac Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, and iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   airport express, airport extreme 802.11n, cable modem
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
    You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    then, install the foo2oak driver:

    Welcome guy -
    Unless you are using Spry menus as a learning experience, you should move forward to a menus system that will display properly on the millions of portable devices that won't work with Spry which was deprecated 2 years ago.
    Many are using JQuery menus or pure HTML/CSS menus.
    If you wish to continue your Spry for learning experience, we'll be glad to assist; please let us know.
    By the way, your submenus are not showing because you need to add the red value to this rule in your vertical CSS
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible{
        width: 220px;
        left: 180px;

  • Why are my icons flashing off and on?

    My I icons flash off and come back is about a second. This repeats about every minute as if it is stuck in a loop.

    Well, I too had a case of the "flashing icons" beginning a week after downloading Maverick.  Flashed about every 1-2 minutes.  I asked Mac support about this through a "chat" and received about 2 pages of tutorial info from them that was so loaded with "geek speak" and tech terms, I was about to throw myself over the railing of my 2 story apartment.  At 63, there was no way I could follow this "stuff" without probably destroying my MAC and tearing out what little hair I have left.   
    None of it mentioned playing with Google by the way.  
    One option was simple however:  Re-download Maverick and see if that does it.  Frankly, I like the practical ideas. So I went back to the App Store and re-downloaded Maverick last night, and all is fine.  No sluggishness, not that I had any to begin with, no loss of data, no nothin'!  Just smooth sailing.  Give it a try.....there's nothing to lose.
