[Desktop][Other] Gray scrollbar on black background

This is in regards to the Windows desktop app: Who thought it was a good a idea to have a gray scroll bar on a black background. You can barely see the thing. It's pretty ridiculous actually. Change the color to white

Updated: 2015-07-29Hello and thanks for the feedback!
Any news regarding this request will be announced in the original idea topic here:

When I go into bookmarks and click on a site, the screen shows what appears to be a compass with a lock overlay, on a black background. At the bottom the address/url are shown. Theses cannot be opened. Other bookmarks have the black background and compass, but no lock. These can be opened by clicking on the compass. What is wrong?

Thanks to the-edmeister and cor-el, for speed of response. I had not inadvertently moved the Bookmarks-Toolbar : I was confronted with the situation right after Firefox 9 had installed and unfolded in front of me. At first, the toolbar area looked reassuringly familiar, but when I started normal work, I discovered the lack of tabs and the only reference I could see to TABS was a tiny button inviting me to group tabs (which was unhelpful to say the least, filling up the screen with tiny unreadable windows). Sure, there were tabs forming, but they were invisible, unless I used the group button. Eventually, I was brave enough to use "reset toolbars" and the tabs came back in the way I want them, but it was a traumatic 2-3 hours out of my life. I kept on "adding a new toolbar" to see if I could make use of it; I kept giving them names, but it is impossible to see where the new tool bar is! (the toolbars don't have a little bit to grab at one end). In my opinion, Firefox should not have allowed the Tab Bar and the Bookmarks Toolbar to become caught up with each other - they have completely different functions. I don't think I would like to play around with "Make a new profile"! I was so desperate that I have already downloaded version 3.6 again, ready to install, for if I was unable to resolve the version 9 problems above.

The primary Menu (File, Edit, etc) displays as dark gray letters on black background

Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 -The menu at the top of the screen displays in colors of dark gray on black. I was really thrown at first because I always display the top menu. But when I remembered how to display the menu it is very hard to see - it is dark gray lettering on a black background.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox 4 Beta 1

Reboot and see if your menu comes back.

Lenovo Y50-70 UHD display - Gray dots on black background colour just appeared suddenly

Hi support technicians and assistants. 1 month ago 2 gray dots just appeared suddenly on my UHD display on the Lenovo Y50-70. Those can be seen only on black background. The dots are 3 mm long and 2 mm wide and the other one it's smaller. What can I do to fix those? They are very disturbing when I do something on black background! Thank you. If needed I can send pictures.

There are many gray pixels, visible on black background, in that 2 faulty areas because it is a UHD display. A 3 by 2 mm area means many pixels not only a few and there are 2 small areas like this one. I will try the recommandations and return a reply. Thank you.neokenchi wrote:
hi RomulusDaniel, From your description, it looks like you have a stuck pixel. Try to use a software like jscreenfix to fix it. Other methods requires you to put a pressure on the LCD screen (like in this wiki article). If you have a 3mm, 2mm, and a smaller dead pixel (total of 3), then I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings.

Black background and white letters?

Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 on a Mac Pro.
Everything has been fine until this morning when all of a sudden my background has changed color to black and the characters are white. I don't know what I did to cause this. More importantly, I don't have a clue on how to go back to a white background and black characters.
Thanks for any help.

Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, while doing this does change the background on iTunes, it also flips the all the other windows to a black background and white characters. The only app that has the black background is iTunes, everything else is fine.

My lock screen just shows a black background and a User Name/Password dialog after opening the screen from sleep. How do I get it back to where it blurs my desktop image with the dialog and my account image displayed?

I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.

I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

Desktop theme disapears, black background

Desktop theme disapears all I get is a black background. I have tried to reinstall but it just goes back to black. Sounds do work.

Hello Mousemjr,
It's hard to say what is going on without some more information in regards to your issue.
1. What make and model system are you running?
2. What Operating System and what variant (e.g. 32 bit or 64 bit)
3. Theme disappears? Is the screen completely black or do you see desktop icons?
4. The reinstall was that a complete reinstall of the desktop operating system?

Im having a problem with my iphoto library. all of photos are outlines in gray with black background.

My iphoto library appears as white dotted outlines and black background. I can only see the photos if i am scrolling?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Black background in Acrobat 9?

Hi, I've just tested the Acrobat 9 _Reader_ The black background (compared to the gray one in Acrobat 9) is _horrible_. (Much too contrast compared to the white sheet.)
Is this black also in Acrobat 9? Is in Acrobat 9 any chance to change it?
Thanks!

Just installed 9.0, having this same problem with the horrible black background.
Why haven't they included such a siple option as changing the background color.
I noticed that it is possible to change it in fullscreen mode, which i hardly ever use, as graphic designer i ike to see and check my documents at 100% size.

External Displays Black Background

I work with two external displays and yesterday I unplugged my MBP to go to a meeting. When I returned and plugged my monitors back in both their backgrounds were black. They work fine and I can drag applications into them and be displayed but I can't shift the black backgrounds.
If I open system preferences it launches fine and if I select Desktop & Screensaver the panes launch in all three monitors and display their current background. If I change the background it changes in the preferences pane but not the actual display. If I mirror all monitors it displays fine on all three. The only inconsistency I've noted is that when adjusting backgrounds the pane on the right hand display adjusts the background in the central (primary) monitor. This right hand display is also the actual laptop with the two external display positioned to the left.
Obviously not a critical issue but I would love to get to the bottom of it.

Hi rossmatt06,
If you are having intermittent issues with the external displays connected to your MacBook Pro, you may find the following article helpful. In particular, if at all possible I would test with different adapters to try to rule out an incompatibility.

Black background in viewer and canvas

Hello
I applied blue/green filter to my clip, it is showing a black background when I play it in viewer but white background when I just view it?
ANy ideas?

Click on the % above the Canvas and Viewer and then select FIT TO WINDOW. If the gray is still there, manually resize the window to get rid of it.
It has always been gray.

White background or Black background suited for long term watching ?

Hello,
I saw many desktop themes with white or light grey background a few years ago, but now, many of them turn into black background with white or blue or cyan or others color of fonts.
As a programmer, I am just curious about the theme: which type is suited for long term use of computer?
I have tried both, and found grey background is easy to read because it is similiar to read on paper, but it looks like a lighting-bulb!; black background with blue font is cool, along with less luminosity, seems free my eyes.
But another problem is the color choosing. With light grey background, it seems any color is right. But with black background, colors should be carefully selected, since some colors are not suit black background at all.
Grayscale is another one. With light grey background, I can easily tune my font in grayscale, like Japanese cartoon paper (I like it very much!), gracifully to distinct keywords. But with black background, it is ugly to use grayscale to distinct keywords.
How about your ideas?

Here's the dark home page style I'm using, also based on Hrwa's archlinx homepage userstyle, but I havent made too many changes there, other than the package search box needed a little tweeking. I havent really checked the other pages, I do know the wiki pages have some issues with this style, if anyone else wants to help out

MS Word (Mac) to Acrobat Pro XI pdf loses black background during the conversion.

I need to email a PDF with an all black background (white text on black background). But my MacBook Pro with MS Office 2011 creates an Adobe Acrobat Pro XI document (Using PRINT menu to Adobe Acrobat) in which the background is not black, but gray. Doesn't matter what resolution I pick, always the same result. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hello,
No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.
Colin.

Ugly black background in Mission Control

How can I change the ugly black background in Mission Control? On my 27" screen it looks bad and reflects too much.

Hi,
My Normal Settings are.
Left gives me Dashboard.
Right is normally iTunes in Full Screen Mode.
I run Messages with 8 or 9 individual Buddy Lists open as well as the Chat/Interface Main window.
If I set the main Messages window to Full Screen then it will do so but the Buddy lists remain on the "central" screen (Space?).
The Main window has moved to the right.
If go to look at Messages and then use the Dock > Mission Control icon the Messages app is still on view.
EDIT
Or it was when I tested this first and made me wonder if this was what you meant by "background"
I repeated this to take a snap shot and can only get my Desktop as the Background whilst the Dashboard, Desktop space and Messages spaces show across the top.
During the initial process I did change some things in the Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
I had spotted two were not Logged in and I also changed the Descriptions for them.
