CS4: Change color of line indicator/outline tool (not line itself)

I couldn't find an answer in any of the resources - possibly because I don't know the right term.
I am talking about the line that is displayed during the period that you draw a line - from the time you click the mouse, until you release it. There's a thin greyscale line indicating the outline of the item you are drawing.
I'm working on ultrasound images, full of greyscale spots. In order to draw lines as precisely as possible, I would prefer that the outline that is displayed while I'm trying to draw my line as correctly as possible, has another color.
I know how to change the color of lines that I have drawn, that are part of the image. What I need is to change the color of the line indicator/helper tool that ONLY shows WHEN I'm drawing a line, and is not really a part of the image.
Hope you can help!

It's a well-known shortcoming that the path that's drawn with the pen is hard to see under some circumstances.
One thing: Its appearance is a little different with OpenGL Drawing disabled vs. enabled. What's your setting (Edit - Preferences - Performance)?
If you're not in need of the OpenGL features, disabling OpenGL Drawing could be helpful in making your paths somewhat more visible. Such a change is not without downsides, but perhaps it could serve as a workaround for you.

Need to change colors of lines in an Omniportlet Line Chart

I am running Oracle Portal on a 10g Web server. I have created an Omniportlet and I am displaying data in a line chart. Is it possible for me to define the colours of the lines in the linechart?

Hi I didn't changed colors in line chart but I managed to redesign lot of omniportlets.
What you can do is to re-define CSS.
Add an HTML portlet in your page with some CSS embedded.
To catch wich class are to be re defined, I recommand you to use firefox with the extension Webdevelopper.
Use the "Informations - display element information" functionnality to catch wich class are used for your chart.
Then redefine those classes in your custom CSS.
Hope that will help

[CS4] Change color of Sequence markers

Not having found any hints that changing color of sequence markers is possible either googling or the help file I'm hoping against hope its possible and I'm just not using the right strings in my searches.
So is it possible to change the color of sequence markers in CS4. To me the default is hard to find on timeline and not hardly distinguishable from the center marker you can use to drag the work area around. Making them a more noticable color would be pretty useful I think.

No, but it's a fine feature request.

Changing color of lines that identify selected objects

Some of my artboards use the color yellow to highlight selected objects. Can I change that?

that would be your layer color. in the layers panel double click on the layer to get the options window and change the color there.

Change color and line weight

Hi,
I am trying to create a script who could act as an Autocad plot (ie convert each color to black, with a different lineweight). I did some research, and tried to mix some scripts found here to create my own, but there is a lot of things I don't understand yet… If anyone could give an eye at these, it would be great!
Here is the first script I melted, who create my Black swatch
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//add Black swatch
var newSwatch = app.activeDocument.swatches.add()
var newColor = new GrayColor();
newColor.gray = 100;
newSwatch.name = "Black"
newSwatch.color = newColor
//Sélectionner les lignes par spot color
var findColor = swatch.getByName("AutoCAD Color 2").color;
var replaceColor = swatch.getByName("Black").color;
//pathItem.strokeColor
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var itext = idoc.textFrames[0];
//alert(itext.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor);
var fillColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor;
var strokeColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.strokeColor;
filled = stroked = "yes";
if (fillColor=="[NoColor]")
        filled = "No";
if (strokeColor=="[NoColor]")
        stroked = "No";
alert("Filled: " + filled + "\n" + "Stroked: " + stroked);
And here is the second one, who replace one color by Black (it don't change the text, nor the lineweight yet…
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
//test de dialogue
function csDialog() {
     var fabGroup = app.activeDocument.swatchGroups.getByName('Fabrics');

Change Color of Line Object

aLine.border.edge.color.value
="207,29,3";
This doesnt work.. any suggestions?

One last thing.
On Initialize of the Parent Subform a Table belongs in I change the Header Fill color based on a variable. Other instances of this Table gets added with a button click.. everything works find interms of the add.
When I change the color though the new tables added do not take the new color of the initialize event.
Is there a way I can do it on the add event?
this.parent.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
this.parent.instanceIndex< ??? >.execInitialize();

I have a 5th generation IPod touch, and today when i turned it on everything was fine. Then suddenly the screen froze and changed colors and lines started coming from the sides of the Ipod until the reached the middle. Now it won't turn back on.

I tried restarting it by using just the power on button at first. Once that failed I held the power and home buttom for ten sconds and that didn't work. I then plugged in the ipod to see if it needed charged, and repeated the same two steps at before but to no avail. Finally, I opened up itunes and plugged my ipod in, but nothing came up. I then tried to turn it on for a third time, but nothing happened. I just confused on what happened. Could it be a bad display, or did the whole thing just die on me? Help please.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Update your graphics driver and check your color profile settings. Not a bug, just a bad configuration on your computer.

Change color or thickness of Path lines

Is there a way to change the path lines to make them more visible when I am editing them? When I use the pen tool to make a path then I go back and edit the path via the nodes sometimes depending on the colors of the photo the path disappears. Is there any way to thicken the lines or change their colors or something to make them more visible?
Thanks for you help

No but you can do the opposite.
Change the image by lightening it with a Levels adjustment layer, and delete it when you're done.

Illustrator crashes when changing color on gradient tool.

In any file, even a brand new, empty artboard, when I double click on the color box on the gradient tool bar ON THE OBJECT (not on the Gradient tool box, I've included an image below) to change the color, Illustrator crashes every single time without fail.
I can't seem to find the issue. I'm running on Windows 7 Pro

quietstorm,
Are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Pen tool changing colors on gradient when saving

I am having issues when I save a file.
The shapes I have created (with the pen tool) and added specific gradients to, change colors. When I reopen the fill all the shapes have changed to the two colors that are currently on the foreground and background. Hence all the gradients are just those two colors and all the work matching and adding colors has been lost.
What am I doing or not doing that will prevent this from happening?

Which operating system are you using?
You need to go to Help>Updates in photoshop to install the latest updates.
If in photoshop cs6, if you go to Help>System Info and look at the top line, what version does it say?

It shouldn't.

Change color of scanned line art

I'm want to scan a line art of a leaf, make the white background transparent, and change the black lines to red. I can scan the art to Photoshop, get rid of the white background, but I can't change the black lines to red. After scanning, the background layer is locked and won't allow editing.I tried scanning as a bitmap, b&w scalable, 16 color, etc. Nothing works.

Image > mode > grayscale, then image > mode > RGB. Then create a solid fill layer layer > new fill layer > solid color. Pick your color and set that layer's blend mode to screen.
Not sure how you're deleting the background, while keeping the leaf on the background layer. But if you make it a grayscale or RGB image, you should be able to convert the background layer by going to layer > new > layer from background.
If you do manage to get the layer off the background you can clip the solid fill layer to the leaf layer by having the solid fill layer active and pressing ctrl-alt-g, or by alt-clicking the space between the two layers in the layers panel (you'll see you cursor change).
