Custom Color Coding

Hi,
I'd like to alter the color coding in dreamweaver, so that
comments and inline comments are handled different... it would make
my life just a bit easier. This would be for an actionscript
document. I've made the following changes:
in codecoloring.xml, I altered this line:
<endOfLineComment name="InlineComment"
id="CodeColor_ActionscriptInlineComment">//</endOfLineComment>
in codecolors.xml, I added this line:
<syntaxColor id="CodeColor_ActionscriptInlineComment"
text="#DEDEDE" />
This does nothing though. I haven't found any documentation
on editing these files... anyone know?
Thanks,
Geoff B

Geoff,
That looks about right. Make sure that you are editing the
xml in the
User Configuraiton folder and not the Application
Configuration folder.
This TechNote explains the difference:

Hope this helps,

Custom Color coding of SharePoint Calendar does not work on a site collection that uses olso master page

Hi,
I created a color coded calendar following instructions below specified at the below URL.
http://davidlozzi.com/2012/06/20/customize-the-sharepoint-calendar-colors/
however, My Site collection uses oslo master page and because it does not show quick launch, I don't see the legend of the color coded colors.
Is it possible to make above solution work with oslo master page?
Please help...
techie

Hi,
Can you provide a screenshot of your page about how the calendar looks like in your environment?
As you said, “I don't see the legend of the color coded colors”, is it mean that the list of overlays on the right side of the page disappears when applying oslo master
page?
In my environment, after applying the oslo master page and adding overlay to the current Calendar view, it will be like this:
It turns out that the list of overlays still there.
Feel free to reply if this is not what you really mean.
Thanks

It's possible to disable custom color from color picker?

Hi guys!
I've searched in the threads about color picker but I found anything about it...
It's possible to disable the option to select a custom color? I work in a enterprise who makes softwares to brazilian clients, and not everybody understands english phrases...
Another way it's to translate the option, but I don't know if is possible too.
Thanks!

You definitely need to add the stylesheet to the Scene, not to anything else. If you take my example and change
scene.getStylesheets()...
to
root.getStylesheets()...
you'll see that it won't work any more.
The difference between this and the css you used is that the css you used is applied to the display of the color picker button; you need to apply styles to the popup (the color palette), which is not contained in your VBox or AnchorPanes. Notice how the font has changed for the name of the color in the button, but it hasn't changed for the "Custom Color" label you are trying to remove.
Somewhere there is some code that is adding the VBox you are subclassing to a Scene, and setting that scene into a stage. Your best option (perhaps second best option, see below) is to find that code so you can add the stylesheet to the Scene itself.
If you're working within a framework someone else has written, and can't access or change the code where the scene is defined, you have another option that I can see. Every Node has a scene property that refers to the scene to which that node belongs. So you could observe changes to that property and when it's updated, add the stylesheet to the scene.
So here is a hack to make my original hack work, in the event that you cannot access the scene directly, for some reason:
final String suppressCustomColorCss = getClass().getResource( "noCustomColorPicker.css").toExternalForm();
colorPicker.sceneProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Scene>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Scene> observable,
Scene oldScene, Scene newScene) {
if (newScene != null) {
List<String> cssClasses = newScene.getStylesheets();
if (!cssClasses.contains(suppressCustomColorCss)) {
cssClasses.add(suppressCustomColorCss);
This code basically says "when the color picker becomes part of a new scene, add the stylesheet to that scene".
At this point, you're applying hack on top of hack to get the effect you need. I think if I were in this situation I would just go ahead and define my own color picker. All you really need is a MenuButton, a property to hold the selected color, and a popup with a layout of controls to choose an arbitrary color. It would be a bit of work, but shouldn't be too hard. If you take this option (which I think may be your best bet), it's more work now but it will be clear what you are doing - when you (or other programmers on your team) come back to the code later you'll understand how it works much better.
You should also file a couple of feature requests. One for API to enable/disable the option to choose a custom color, as this seems like a reasonable piece of functionality to have. The other should be for properly internationalized text for the labels in the color picker, as these are currently just hard coded into the source code in English.

Color coding of calendar in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to add new metadata and to use the new metadata column in the calendar for color coding. Please suggest how i can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to color coding of calendar in SharePoint 2010
To get this done efficiently, SharePoint’s built-in calendar overlays are the way to go.
You can follow the steps as below:
Customize category column in the calendar list
Create views filtered by category column
Create blank view where the category filters for NULL value
Add the calendar overlays
For more information, you can refer to:
Four Easy Steps to Customized Color Code Calendars in SharePoint
Color-Code Events on a SharePoint Calendar
In addition, you can use code to achieve what you want. Please refer to:

Color coded calculated list column in content query web part

I have a calculated column in a list for displayig color coded values using the link
http://blog.splibrarian.com/2012/06/06/using-calculated-columns-to-add-color-coding-to-your-sharepoint-lists/
Now for rollup i am using the lists to display them in a content query web part so i have updated the .webpart file and imported and added, made changes in the item style and uploaded ad finally inserted the web part in the page.
But while diplaying hte custom column, it is being eing displayed as
string;#<DIV style='font-weight:bold; font-size:24px; color:green;'>•</DIV>
As you can notice it has appended string;# before the text. How do i avoid this? Thanks

Apps must say FREE! Not color coding it's version with Silver & Gold.

Apple needs to be more strict, about the Apps people submit. It's awful to have someone put out an App, that has two of the same. One, with the free version, and the other being the purchased version. But, both icons almost look identical, with one having a Silver band around it, and the other with a Gold band around it. Indicating that the Gold band is the full version. Well, that's not right! There have been so many times, where you could sware you previously owned an app, then watch it download without the "you previously own this, would you like this update for free~". Now knowing that you just purchased the App... Then when you talk to the Apps Customer Service, they say "Well, one is Silver, being the free version, and the Gold being the full paid version." That's their defense?
Bottom line... These app icons must say FREE on them, or else it's an easy way to make the developers more money, and basically calling us an ideot for not remembering the Silver, or Gold band. I mean, come on Apple! I am begging for these app icons, to say FREE, and not color coding their version.
Doesn't that sound like the right thing to do?
Thanks Guys!

It's up to the developer of the apps to make an icon for their apps. Of course they want the two versions ofthe app to have similar icons which is why they have a differen coloured border.
As far as redownloading previously purchased apps, I would have to say it's your responsibility to know what you have downloaded before. The apps do list the price in the AppStore and if you are insure then I would suggest downloading the version with free as the price.
As far as the AppStore programming rules go apple controls that so you could send some feedback but I think they would say that the price is clearly listed and it does not need to be added to the title or elsewhere. I believe apple does suggest developers add lite or another indicator saying that it is a demo of a paid version in the app title or description.

Labeling/color-coding within iTunes

I would like to color-code or label at the song or the playlist folder level for visual organization (like desktop folder labeling). I have done quite a bit of searching on MacUpdate and Versiontracker and cannot find any type of application that runs within iTunes that will allow this type of functionality.
Apple is behind the curve on allowing customization to the iTunes library in a lot of ways, but this is minor stuff you can do to your desktop and your mail files--why not songs?
Is there any third party apps that do this that I might have missed? I sort 99% of the music on my iPod by custom playlist, and color-coding/labeling would help me immensely. I'm a visual person but coverflow does nothing for me in this case.
Thanks.

I'll second that notion - color labeling is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm going to go post feedback requesting this also. Ability to label playlists or playlist groups or folders would really be nice, especially when you have 100+ playlists. I'm an organization freak anyway, but it is true that the eye responds much faster to color than to large amounts of text.
There are so many other ways it could be useful. Example: you've imported a bunch of stuff and want to temporarily label chunks of it in the "Music" playlist until you can get it sorted. Or you could label something to make it stand out as a reminder to listen to, or an indicator that you've already listened to it.

Wish: annotate workflow with separator, comment or color-coding

I've been developing a Finder workflow that has grown to 23 steps, and more are coming.
The workflow is broken up into segments to 2-4 actions each. I've customized the action names and collapsed each segment in order to better see the overall sequence.
The problem is the segments visually run together. If this were a programming language, I'd visually set off the first action of each segment with a blank line or a comment. I'd like to do the same with my workflows.
The thoughts that come to mind are a visual separator, a workflow comment, colored action names, and color-coding (a la Finder labels). I like coloring best because it doesn't take vertical space (a critical Automator resource).
[I submitted this as formal Feedback - Design/Ease of Use.]

Thanks, lc55, for contributing to this thread.
You could structure the workflow like a regular
program with a main workflow calling subsidiary
workflows ....
That might add clarity to my long scripts, but at the expense of numerous small files, which seems like trading one problem for another.
Here again, conventional programming provide an excellent model to follow, with a main routine and a collection of subroutines in a SINGLE file.

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:
http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/microsoft-entourage-vs-apple-mail /
Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

How can I use custom colors and not presets when using Smart Brush Tool Color?

I don't see a way to use the color picker tool or change the color to custom colors. Please help.

seodude wrote:

This tool employs a gradient adjustment layer. In the layers palette, double click the layer thumbnail, not the name.
Then, double click the gradient bar to bring up the gradient editor.

ICal custom colors?

I know that recently users have been having issues with iCloud not saving calendar colors. I had this too, but that seems to be fixed. The problem is that it fixed itself in iCloud, but the custom colors don't come through to my iPhone or iPad. I've verified the custom colors in iCloud and they show up in 3rd party apps, just not in the actual iCal app. It seems to be syncing fine other than that. I can't seem to find any info on how to fix it so I don't know if it's an isolated problem or if there is even so anything I can do to fix it. Please help if you can.

I have the same problem. I have the custom colors on my mac and icloud.com, but the custom colors aren't showing on my iPhone or iPad. I'm using iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
Yes, very frustrating as I always go by the colors in the calendar. Unless enough people are having the same problem we may never see a fix. In the meantime, I'm looking at other calendars to use on my IOS devices.

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Navigation and Color Coding

Hello Guys,
I have got couple of design questions.
1. I have a report with a view selector on it(Annual, quarter, month) that navigates to another report with the same view selector(annual quarter month) The problem I have is with the navigation landing pages.
When i changed my report to quarter view from the annual view and then navigate to the report B I still land in ANNUAL view as that is the first view of the report. Users expect to land on quarter view directly based on what they select on the report A.
So i was wondering if there is a way to control the view selector and column selector landing pages when navigation from report A to report B.
2. This is regarding Color coding. I have three columns in my report Year, quarter, month with conditional color coding done on it(when year=09 then red, when month =jan then blue some thing like that). So now the report has both table and pivot view. The users want to see the color coding only on pivot but not on table. Is there a way to achieve that? I tried duplicating the columns and hiding in the table but hiding in the table will hide across all the views. So i am kind of stuck there as well.
Can we control this?
Any advice is appreciated
thanks
Prash

Regarding 2) don't know how feasible this is since I can't see your report, but you can try this:
1) For the columns that you want color-coded, put two instances in your Criteria mode. Now color code one each of those "dual columns" for your pivot table.
2) For the "Table View" build another pivot table, but design it like a table, but this time using the "uncolor-coded" columns in that pivot table and keeping the other columns in the Excluded box.

Calendar App: color coded events...

Hello,
Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
Please can any one in the community advise:
1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
Regards,
Richard

It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.
