Colors in the finder

recently,  I colored the racetrack on my hard drive yellow, the last few days, i've been trying to change the color and  I can't.  I did a "get info" on it and the colors are greyed out as if the hard drive was locked.   it is not locked. I don't understand what's going on.  I never had  problem before.
Anybody got any ideas.

Is this what you're wanting to do?

  • I don't have any color in my icons in the finder

    I don't have any color in my application icons in finder.

    Go to the link below, download and install the program. Please read the instructions on the page.
    http://culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php
    Then go to the link below, download and extract the program. Put the program in the plugins folder created above.

    Force quit Finder and when you open a new Finder window, you should have color in the sidebar, although not across the top. You will need to Force quit Finder and open a new window after almost all restarts and startups.
    Not perfect, but it works.
    As an alternative, you can go to the link below and download the program. In the Lion Tweaks section, there is a tweak to restore color in the Finder sidebar, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • How can I change the color of the highlighted text when using the FIND function in Terminal?

    When searching for text in the Terminal's buffer, the matched text is highlighted using a color which seems to be computed from the background's color. I'm using a black backgroud and the finder's highlighter is grey. How can I change this? I'd like to specify the foreground and background colors of the matching text. I couldn't find an appropriate setting in the terminal's settings, nor in the default settings using the command "defaults".

    In my .bashrc file, I have enabled a couple of grep environment variables.
    GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'
    GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;226'
    The latter is a vivid yellow.
    From the shell, I can search my history:

  • Adobe Acrobat wipes the Finder label color of edited-saved PDF files

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1 wipes the Finder label color of PDF files when edited with Acrobat. For instance, if a PDF file has a particular Finder label color, if then it is open and edited or simply modify in any way (for instance, just marking some text with the yellow fluorescent marker) and saved, Acrobat wipes out the Finder label color of such file.
    How to send feedback to Adobe about this problem?
    Thanks.

  • How to change the Find highlight color

    I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the Find Highlight color in office 2013.
    Every time I search for a word or anything it uses a light yallow to highlight that line or word, and I woudl like to replace the yellow with like a teal or a green or some other color that I'm not using already in my Word document. This way I can find out
    were it is telling me It is because I have a lot of stuff already highlighted yallow, and when I click find and search for something in the Navigation window and it finds it. It also puts it as a lighter yellow and it confuses me.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, we can't change the highlight color when using Find in Word. The highlight color is fixed.
    As a workaround, you can try to use Advanced Find instead which will show the search result with a different color.

  • Can Bridge not read / see the Finder's color labels...?

    I have got a whole stack of images files, in a few nested folders on my Mac, and they have all been painstakingly individually color-labelled in the Finder with various colors.
    I now want to manage these files and perform various actions on them, based on their colors, and so I have opened up the folders in Bridge, but Bridge is not showing the colors of the files.
    I know Bridge has its own color-labels set-up, but this does not work in conjunction with the Finder, so even if I went through and re-labelled them all in Bridge, the changes would not be reflected in the Finder -- and I do still need to view the color-labels outside of Bridge / in the Finder, because I won't ONLY be using these files from within Bridge.
    So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the color-label information as shown in the Finder?

    So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the
    color-label information as shown in the Finder?
    No, you can't see those finder labels in Bridge.
    There is however a reasonable simply workaround I would think.
    In Finder create several new folders, for each label one folder.
    Open another Finder window and put this in column mode. Use view options in
    Finder and add the column 'label' to the window. Now press on the name label
    at top of this column and your labels are selected per color above each
    other.
    Drag and drop them manual to the new created folders. And you can easily
    repeat this for the other nested folders.
    You can also add the new color label folders temporally to the favorite
    column left at the finder window so drag and drop is even more easier.
    After this in Bridge point to each folder and assign a suitable bridge label
    color to it. Now you can work with Bridge color labels
    Also in Bridge you have options to rate with stars and add keywords so
    filtering has dozens of ways to retrieve your grouped files at once using
    the filter panel.

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

  • Can't seem to find "brdr color" in the properties bar...

    I have been going through forums and guides on how to change the color of individual cells in a table in dreamweaver cs4.
    They all seem to point towards a section of the properties bar called "brdr color"... I do not seem to have this option.
    Can anyone tell me how I can change the border properties (color and size) of individual cells?
    NB: I have the trial right now.

    1.  You need to look at the 'border' property to apply colored borders to cells.
    2.  You would apply background-color to the <td> element  - which is a table cell.
    Copy and paste the following code into a new DW document to see how I've applied the CSS to a table and it's cells;

    #tablenav td {

  • Since Lion upgrade, can not change the colored label of my HD in the Finder

    ... the "Macintosh HD" icon has the Label section grayed out when I select 'Get Info'.
    I can only change the color of the USB attached disks.
    Also, before the upgrade to Lion, I was able to assign colored labels to the attached network shares, in Snow Leopard; now I can see the label colors I've assigned when using Snow L. by I can not modify then anymore...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Lock was closed. It open after authentication, but the word "Label" is still gray and can not select a color label.
    On the "Sharing and Permissions" have the folowing:
      "You can only read"
      "system - Read & Write"
      "wheel - Read only"
      "everyone - Read only"

  • Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

    just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

    Hi Lainey.
    Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
    That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
    P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.

  • Dynamically Set Subreport Background Color to the Same Value as Main Report Background Color

    I have a report that contains a subreport.  The main report has groupings in it.  I am dynamically setting the background color of the group rows based on an expression.  That part is working fine.  The problem that I am having is that
    I don't know how to get the subreport to "inherit" the background color of the grouping that holds it.
    Basically, I have different row shadings on my report differentiating the groupings except for the rows where the subreport shows.
    How do I go about setting the subreport background color to equal it's contaiing grouping's background color?  Thanks in advance for any and all assistance provided.

    The parameter method given by gpshukla will send the info to the subreport, but you don't need the color parameter in the main report, only the subreport. The trick is in setting the value of that parameter.
    Right-click the cell with the embedded subreport, you can select subreport properties.
    Select Parameters and add a parameter.
    The name column is the name of the parameter in the subreport (color) and value is the value to set it to.
    Set name to "color" (no quotes).
    Set Value to the same expression used to set the background color for the row.
    In the subreport, click the design surface to select the report (not header or footer).
    In the properties pane, select background color and choose expression from the dropdown.
    Type =Parameters!color.Value into the expression builder.
    This will work assuming that background color in the main report row will not change without also refreshing the subreport.
