Default PDF text colour is desktop background instead of black

Noticed odd behaviour with new Firefox 6 and viewing PDFs inline (using the Adobe plugin): the default text colour is the desktop background instead of black. Firefox and all plugins up to date.

Desktop Background is all black

All I see on my desktop background is just black. I have no idea how to fix this.

How about going to your Desktop and ScreenSaver preferences in System Preferences and picking another desktop.

Text Colour opposite of background

I have a black and white checkered background in indesign, and textbox going through both black and white parts
How do I get the text to appear as paper on black background and black on white backgrounds without using create outlines and path finder.

Assuming you have your checkered background as an image, follow these steps:
Place your checkered image as background in InDesign
Create a text layer, type desired text
Make the text color 'Paper' (White)
Select the text layer, Open up Effects Panel (Window > Effects)
In Objects panel, you'll see Object, Stroke, Fill & Text
Select 'Text' under Effects panel, change the blend mode from 'Normal' to 'Difference'
Your text will now show as white on black and black on white background depending on how your checkered background looks. See screenshots below:

Desktop background changed to black

After closing Photoshop CS6 my desktop background had turned to black. I had been playing around with the background color choices in the program before i exited.
Winsows 7 starter edition SP 1
1 GB Ram
ATI 7800 video card

I didn't even think you could set a desktop background image in Windows 7 Starter. Did you do something out of the ordinary to get it there? Or are you saying you had a different solid color?
In any case, it's hard to imagine changing Photoshop settings had anything to do with that. Any chance you actually changed the desktop color by accident, thinking you were changing Photoshop's background? What dialog were you using to "play around with the background color choices"?

Make movie coverart use white background instead of black

The coverArt used for movies and TV shows does not use the full 600x600 pixel size like music albums. It leaves black sections above and below each movie coverArt. Is there any way to change the background color to white so it blends nicely with the rest of the screen?
Thanks!

So simple. Sorry to waste your time with that but it was extremely helpful.

Is there any fix to show transparent png background instead of black ?

When I try to load a png file with transparent background into firefox 35.0.1, the background appears black.
I've already tried Transparent standalone images add-on with no results .
Also there is not an option in about:config to fix this .
Can I have your support please ?
thanks.

See also the CSS file that Firefox uses (open via the location bar):
*chrome://global/skin/media/TopLevelImageDocument.css
*resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
That code should probably be in <u>userContent.css</u> and not in userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Checker background instead of black.

Two questions from a guy who is kicking and screaming leaving in FCP7. I have two questions. My fade from black on the timeline is a checkerboard, I want it to be black. And two, the step forward buttons on the right monitor when clicked remains stationary and just repeats the audio frame that it sits on. Thoughts? A preference change?

Hi Canwill355,
Check out the Wrench menu > Transparency Grid
Thanks,

Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?

Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.

Doesn't work
^ ^
Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
This is what the fellow is talking about. Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey.

Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

I posted this question yesterday and received one reply. I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here. As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal. Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section. Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer. So, that brings me back to my original question, how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it. Thanks for your patience and help.

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Just uploaded iso7 , . . .hate it! Can you change background colours? How do you add a new item/activity to the schedule? In notes the font has changed, can I change it back and the link colour is now yellow instead of blue, can I change it? Thanks

Just uploaded iso7 , . . .hate it! Can you change background colours? How do you add a new item/activity to the schedule? In notes the font has changed, can I change it back and the link colour is now yellow instead of blue, can I change it? Yellow on white is harder to read. Thanks

Another question. How do you bookmark something. It was so easy before, why did they change it? Can I uninstall it?

Is there an ARD command or Unix command that I can send to reset the desktop background image to default?

I was forced to create a local user with an automatic login on all of the machines in the building. I listed off many various issues that could come arise by doing this but was tuned out. Now people are changing all of the desktop backgrounds to some pretty inappropriate images. I forewarned the person ordering this that this may be one of the many issues that would arise when doing away with our server based logins, and now I am charged with fixing every desktop every time someone changes it to something inappropriate.
Is that an Apple Remote Desktop command or a Unix command that I can send through ARD v3.5.3 to the machines to reset the desktop background image to the default Aqua Blue jpeg image located in the /MacintoshHD/Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Aqua\ Blue.jpg.
The machines that I am dealing with have OS X 10.4.11, OS X 10.5.8, OS X 10.6.8, and OS X 10.7.4 installed on them, but the OS X 10.4.11 machines are the ones that are creating the biggest issue so I would like to deal with those first.

Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

How do I keep my original text colours when converting from Publisher 2007 to PDF format?

Recently I am finding that when I convert my Publisher 2007 documents to PDF, the text colours do not remain the same, but revert to black or grey? Clip art retains its colours. What am I doing wrong?

They won't show up unless
you have click on each text box
Go Format > Shape
click on lines
chose desired line color for the borders.
once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

Mavericks desktop background defaults after restart

I change my desktop background (cause as nice as the blue and green wave is it's not my cup of tea) and as soon as i restart my mac it defaults back again.
I have deleted the 'com.apple.desktop.plist' file and that didn't make the slightest bit of difference!
Any help would be appreciated. I know its a trivial thing really but it's driving me nuts!

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Default Desktop Background

Hi,
Is there anyway to set a default desktop background through Workgroup Manager? I have created a custom background that i would like to use rather than the standard apple ones.
Can anyone help?
Thank You
Dave

Hi
When the default desktop background is changed com.apple.desktop.plist is created in the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder. If your server is an OD Master which I assume it is, you can save this preference in each user’s network home folder. You could do this from the server itself by copying the image to the server’s Home Pictures folder, defining the server’s background using this image, then copying the .plist to all the users home folders. Next time users log in they will get that setting. This will work with other settings that are not part of the managed preferences options available in WorkGroup Manager.
