Colors in website

In a tutorial I found on the web( http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/web-design/colour/ ) it is mentioned that a good website must make use of sufficient quantites of color.
I assume that it means colors other/besides than grey/black/white.
Am I correct in my assumption?

I dont think so they are perticularly highlighting on the colours grey/black/white.They just want to highlight that the colour contast should be wisely chosen.Intense colours should be used because too many intense colours attract the eye in too many directions.

Firefox cannot print in color a websites but other programs can

The webpage, http://www.rosarysunday.com/seatingchart.html
will not print in color in either Firefox or Seamonkey.
It will print in color from Internet Explorer.

Have you already seen [[firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
*What exactly happens, or does not happen and do you get any error messages ?
*Is it all websites you have a problem with, or only some ?
* What happens if you work offline, can you load web pages that are saved on your own computer ? <br> (save something with IE, -as HTML web page files - maybe this page, then try opening it with both Firefox and IE)
Can you use firefox to look at your local disk such as (depending on your setup) ''file:///C:/''
Try checking security settings, and security logs, is firefox being blocked ?

Adding Color To Website

My website was created for my business without color. It has
a white background, black and blue text. The problem is the logo I
have is white so I guess that's why they kept the background white.
It's looks really plain!
How can I add some color shading? I don't mind the background
being white if I can add color in certain areas to bring it out. Or
Would it be easier to get rid of the logo and type the in title so
I can add background color?

You can add background colors to the elements using CSS. You
can also use a
graphics editor like Fireworks or Photoshop to add color to
your graphics.
It's very hard to know what to suggest to what one cannot
see. Is there a
link to your site?

Quickly change visited link color across website?

Hey ya'll,
Is there a automagical way to change visited hyperlink color on my whole iWeb site in one fell swoop in other words anything faster than tediously changing each link through the GUI?
Thanks!

Not across the entire site but for one page I've found that if I click on the Use for New Links on Page button for one link all of the hyperlinks for that page will be converted to its color scheme. But it has to be for all the colors, normal, rollover and visited. Don't know of any way to change just the visited color for many links at a time.
Click to view full size
This won't work for the navbar links.

Am I just crazy? Didn't there used to be a color picker?

So, as far as I can remember, there was a tool in Leopard that let you hover over any color in any application and find it's code to replicate it... I thought it was called Color Picker and looked like a little eyedropper with a color wheel behind it.
Now, I can't find it. I'm wracking my brain to locate it, but I can't.
My main objective is to get a color I saw on a website into Photoshop, but since I can't find OS X's built-in color utility to get the hex code, I can't get it right in my graphic.
Any suggestions on locating the Color Picker? Or on how to import colors from websites to my Photoshop swatches?

Sed --
I hope I wasn't one of the smarmy ones . . .
I really thought you just weren't seeing it.
When a user moves an app out of the place the system
expects to see it, it will ignore it.
In the past, a lot of users wanted to group all their browsers into one
folder they made themselves, called, "Internet apps." So Safari, Camino, FF, etc.
all went in that folder. When doing updates, the apps were not found free standing in the application folder, and they were ignored, i.e., never updated.
So the explanation you got makes sense to me.
EDIT: Maybe if you use it a lot, make an alias for it in the Dock where you can easily access it.

My firefox background color is black how to solve this problem?

Every time when i open firefox my background is black. for fix the proble go to tools then options then colors then tick "use system colors" and "Allow page to chooses their own colors, instead of my selection above" then press double "ok" colors problem is fixeed. but when i close and re open firefox see same problem meaning my background is black. Please how can i solve
? thanks!

My new laptop arrived today and it is the first time I ever see Windows 8. I experienced this problem with a black background in any Firefox page.
After a long troubleshooting process on a draconic OS I have never experienced, I found the culprit.
1. Hover your mouse (don't click) over the top-right corner (or press the Window key and the C key.) This will open the charm bar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Choose Personalize.
4. Change the background/wallpaper.
5. Enjoy your Firefox with its true colors. Hoozah!
After applying that solution, if the background of your favorite website looks a flat white, then:
1. Go to TOOLS in Firefox. Select Content.
2. Click the Colors button.
3. Enable "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
4. Click OK and OK.
5. Firefox will automatically display default background colors of websites.

I have problems scrolling on certain website

I have the current firefox installed on my system...all of the sudden I can't scroll on certain websites....its sluggish and hangs...some sites are just fine...one site in particular is www.crocs.com as an example....Now when I use IE no problems what so ever....I have updated my mouse software uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and it still didn't fix it...Its more than just crocs that affects but some places I have no problems

Slow scrolling issues can be caused by fixed background images on web pages.<br />
A test can be to disable the colors for websites.<br />
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors > "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
If that works then see if you can find an update for your display driver.

Omen 5012 firmware update, keyboard backlight color problems

When upgrading from F.09 to F.23, the ability to control the keyboard backlight colors went away, as discussed by OP. When checking the available firmware updates, HP Support Advisor showed new firmware and 3 other downloads, as of 30 July. Then, I pressed check for updates, and all the entries disappeared, now HPSA says there are no updates available. In any event, where can I download the latest firmware, and has this fixed the inability to control the keyboard backlight colors.

The website detects what OS you are on, so searching for it within Win10 will show you only what is qualified for Windows 10.
From the link below, can you change the OS:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-omen-15-5000-notebook-pc/7281265/model/7538571#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930C7
The link for BIOS F24a is: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71501.exe
Now, let me run this on my Omen first! This was writin for Win8 and may cause problems running in Windows 10!Let me be the guinea pig.
Stand By.

How to generate complete file list of hard drive and output to text file

I need to start backing things up to drives, which over time will be put in storage.
I would like to be able to create a complete file index and folder tree of every drive and have it output to a text file so that in the event I ever need to go back to a drive, I can search the text file to know what drive to pull from storage (rather than using spotlight to search through 25 drives).
Is there any way to do this with either OS X or with a third party software? Ideally, text file and not PDF.
Thanks!

You can use the terminal.app with the following command:
rsync -rlptn --stats --progress +Source.. Destination..+
example with actual output:
rsync -rlptn --stats --progress /Volumes/Mac\ Data/websites /Volumes/EXT\ SATA2building file list ...

CS3-- Optional Tag Attribute problem

The pages to my site have already been created from a template. I need to add a frame redirect to the body tag on one page. So I added an editable attribute to the body tag in the template [attribute: ONLOAD, Label: onload, Type: text, Default: Frameredirect();] For some reason, when I try to edit the tag on the pages [Modify --> Template Properties] the dialog box says "No template properties available". I can see the frameredirect in the code. How come I can't edit it? Thanks

After I designed the site, my client changed all of the pages accept the home page. Those other 8 child pages look the same. I am new at this, however, so I refer to the Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual a lot. It made sense to me to go with a nested template.
Here's the code from the nested template...

Thanks for your help... with this, and all you have answered before...

Hi avery,
'cause there was no-one who answered to your question till now, you could bring your thread into the Spry-forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry?view=discussions.
There you will find the experts for all your questions about Spry applications.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
You better split your questions.

Images disappear when I try to enlarge them.

Immediately after upgrading from FF 3.6 to FF4.0.1, I went to the themes part of your site to pick a theme. However, each time I'd click to enlarge pictures of the themes, they appear larger for a second or so then the screen would go blank in the frame where the enlarged picture was supposed to be. I tried other websites with same results. Content appears to be "missing" (blank areas) where videos or pictures are posted. Also, background colors on websites I frequent, for instance colors that distinguish one poster's comment from another seem to be missing.
I've tried a fresh install of FF 4, and that didn't fix the problem. Tried deactivating and activating each extension. Still no fix. All drivers etc, are up-to-date with latest versions.
Can you tell me what app or extension is is responsible for these features and how to fix this problem? I really like FF 4 except for this.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Trouble printing with Leopard and Samsung USB laser printer

I just purchased a Samsung SCX-4200 laser printer/scanner/copier. After installing 10.5-compatible drivers from the Samsung website, I'm unable to get the printer to work. Print+Fax recognizes the printer fine and the proper driver appears in the pulldown menu so all seems good there. But every time I go to print a document (I've tried numerous apps), the job begins spooling to about 6%-8% (depending on document tried) and then I get a message in the queue window that says 'Waiting for USB printer to respond.' and the job just hangs there. The job list shows the document as printing and the Print+Fax window shows the printer as in use, but no matter what I try, this thing just won't print. I've tried restarting the computer, rebooting the printer, an older version of the drivers that came with the printer (says OS 10.3-10.4 only) and myriad other tricks, but no dice.
Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.
It's very hard to help with color management via email, you may want to
check some of the on-line color management websites on google.

Totally useless as I explained in detail that I had already done all of this and was very familiar with color management and the process of using it. And that it was not until the latest OS-X and Epson's driver that the problems started.

Lexmark C522 and printing with Leopard

Hello --
I have a new 24" Mac which came with Mac OS 10.4 and an upgrade to 10.5 I set it up and everything was hunkydory. I then implemented the upgrade and my ability to print fell apart.
I print on a Lexmark C522 through a LAN. Systems Preferences sees the printer as a Bonjour printer, allows me to select it as the preferred printer, and then configures the options. However, when I send something to print, it goes into the spin cycle stating that it cannot connect to the printer and that it will try again in 30 seconds.
This was driving me nuts but I just discovered that I can trigger the printing by putting my computer to sleep and then waking it up.
Augghhh!!! Will I always have to do this?
Thanks,
MNIce
p.s. I have reinstalled the printer driver to no avail.
p.p.s. We have an old AppleTalk network here and can print through that, though it is slower than molasses.
p.p.p.s. I have the same trouble if I try to print through the printer's IP address.

Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.

My website background image color is not correct in Safari????

On my website my background jpg image that appears in bottom left corner is not correct in Safari. In ALL other web browsers (Firefox 3.1, IE, Opera, etc) my website looks fine! So it must be a setting or error in Safari. The jpg image in question has a background color of 191919 (dark gray) and it matches in Firefox and IE, etc... but not in Safari? In Safari my jpg image is a lighter color than rest of webpage. My header is the same type of file (jpg with #191919 background) and it looks fine... THAT is the strange part!
Is this a known issue with safari or am I doing something wrong? I have tried no color management on the image in Photoshop and with color management in Photoshop (when I save for web) and this doesn't seem to matter. It is driving me crazy. My website looks silly in Safari with this error. www.eXacteXposure.com is the website.

I'm not seeing that problem here, either (Safari 3.1.2 in Mac OS X 10.5.5). The image at the bottom left corner matches the background nicely.
Have you looked at your site on more than one Mac running Safari? My thinking at this point is that your web site and images are fine, but there's a problem with your installation of Safari. Do you have any third party Safari "enhancers" or hacks installed?
