Dmenu_run color scheme

Hey guys i have been searching for ways to change the color scheme in dmenu_run (/usr/bin/dmenu_run) and found the solution.
here is my dmenu_run file:
#!/bin/sh
CACHE=${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"$HOME/.cache"}/dmenu_run
IFS=:
if test "`ls -dt $PATH "$CACHE" 2> /dev/null | sed 1q`" != "$CACHE"; then
mkdir -p "`dirname "$CACHE"`" && lsx $PATH | sort -u > "$CACHE"
fi
exe=`dmenu -b -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -nf '#e04613' -nb '#3b3b3b' -sf '#e04613' -sb '#000000' "$@"< "$CACHE"` && exec sh -c "$exe"
This color scheme matches the Elegant brit theme.
-nf is for color font
-nb is for background
-sf is for the font of highlighted text
-sb is for the background of the highlight
enjoy!

hmmm... do you have an identity already? logo, etc? maybe
some color in there could serve as the base?
also, how about thinking about this from a historical
perspective.... every period has a "color history" – popular
colors used during that era... what were the colors used in that
time period in your region? have you visited some of the
buildings/homes that are protected in that city's preservation
society? what are the common colors in them? take photos and use
them as base colors for kuler themes, creating triads and compund
themse around them.

Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari! I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away. Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme. And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white. I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey. OR white on ANY light color. In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast. For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white. It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages. Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue. I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white. I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue.
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities! Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system?
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page. Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small.
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem. For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way. I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts!
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files! I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages! I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans.
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period. Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages. A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone! The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music. We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks!
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

Hi Grandma,

Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

Hi all,
We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap. Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet. When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color. I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel. Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

Windows 7 Boot Camp Color Scheme Issues

Hi. I just recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Boot Camp, and the first thing I noticed was the poor resolution that was stuck to 1600x1200 pixels. The Display Adapter used is listed as "Generic Non-PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." ortunately, I got this sorted out by choosing "Advanced Settings => List All Modes", and then selecting "2560 by 1440, High Color (16 bit), Default Refresh". Here's where the problem comes in - it's in 16 bit, obviously, and there's no other higher color schemes for me to choose from in the "List All Modes" menu that's 2560x1440 pixels. The only other mode of this resolution is "2560 by 1440, 256 Colors, Default Refresh".
What should I do? Could someone please guide me through the process step-by-step, as the Apple support team was of no help, since they aren't 'familiar' with Windows procedures, despite "Boot Camp" being a Mac-related hardware. And I'm no technical expert, either, so tossing me terms like "update to the X&Y" driver is probably going to confuse me, so please try and explain that to me, thank you.
Thanks for your patience and please get back to me soon.

It appears that you did not follow the step in Bootcamp Assistant where you were to download the Windows Support software. You then had to install the Support software from within Windows. Did you do that step? The display drivers are part of the Support software.

How do I change the default color scheme in Dreamweaver CS6?

Hi All
I just updated to CS6 on my work computer from CS5 on my personal computer (preferences and stuff were not transferred), and I'm trying to figure out how I can import my custom color scheme that I was using in CS5. In CS5 I was able to replace the Colors.xml file instead of going through each individual color option. I haven't had the same success with CS6.
In CS5 the Colors.xml file was located at this path (Mac)
/Users/%name%/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5/%localization(en_US)%/Configuration/CodeColoring
The problem with CS6 is that there is no Dreamweaver CS6 folder at that path after "Adobe/"
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions? Looking at code on a white background is hurting my eyes!

Do you think this maybe has to do with Mountain Lion?
Here's a screenshot of no Dreamweaver CS6 folder in Library/../..
And no, it's not in the "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium" folder either. I keep going through all of the folders hoping the Dreamweaver cs6 folder will show up, but nothing! Thanks for your help guys. If you think of anything else, please respond!

How do I make a custom brush image in a gradient color scheme in Photoshop Elements 12?

I want to make a custom brush image in a gradient color scheme. I know how to change the hue jitter, but I want to "paint" the image with a gradient between two colors. For example, I have an image of an octopus that I have used to create a custom brush. I want the top of the octopus to be hot pink and gradually fade into a deep orange at the end of the tentacles. Everything I've looked up just colors the background. Thanks in advance!

Try the following:
Open the octopus image
Open a Gradient Map Adjustment layer above this. There are several preset gradients, but in my version of the program I don't see one with pink to orange.
When you double click on the gradient bar in the Adjustments palette, this will open up the Gradient Editor, where you can tailor the gradient to your specifications with color and opacity stops. (see below)
This will apply the gradient to the entire picture. However, the adjustment layer has a built-in mask (the white rectangle).
Left click on this and paint with a black brush to hide the gradient outside of the octopus. If you go too far, you can correct with a white brush.
Now, as to the Gradient map adjustment layer, here is how to configure it:

Is there any way to change the color scheme in a document in Pages?

I have come from a PC using Publisher for a weekly newsletter and am trying to use Pages to accomplish the same thing. i want to change the color scheme from week to week and have not found a way to accomplish this.
I am currently using Word for Mac for this, but I would like to move over to Pages. I'm playing with it some, but can't seem to find a way to change the color of the publication from week to week. To change to another template all together would cause me to have to reinvent the wheel each and every week, and I'm not willing to do that.
Adobe Illustrator is an option, but it looks mighty complicated to set it up... And I've balked at the price tag.
Any suggestions?

Pages does not have Themes like Word.
There might be other ways to achieve what you want by swapping master objects and changing colors of Styles. A bit more work but not horrendously more.
You can name color swatches in the Color Picker so you could set up a set of colors there then update styles and objects systematically using those swatches.
Illustrator would be an extremely poor choice for a Newsletter.
Have a look at the new Swift Publisher 3 in the App Store, currently 30% off. They have added some very good tools that have brought it into a much more Pro usable form. Including many key features that Pages lacks.

How can I see cursor in twilight color scheme?

I want to use twilight color scheme. (black background)
It can be changed at Tools->preference->editor->syntax color
but the cursor color is always black and I can't see it.
Is there any way to change cursor color?
Please, answer me.

Is there any way to change cursor color?Yes, here's a blurb from the readme.html file included with JDeveloper:
Unable to Change or Configure the Color of the Caret in the Code Editor
Below is the workaround:
In ide.properties, typically in $(JDEV_INSTALL)\jdev\system\ide.properties, edit the following properties to set the caret color:
     ceditor.CaretColorR=0
     ceditor.CaretColorG=0
     ceditor.CaretColorB=0
The valid range for each component color is 0 to 255.
(P.S. in the next maintenance release, you will be able to do this from the Tools > Preferences Dialog)
Hope this helps.

Color Scheme Problems in Ultiboard

Hi, I've been having trouble with the color scheme problems in Ultiboard ever since I upgraded form 10.0 to 10.1. The color schemes will not save in Ultiboard 10.1, even with the new patch 10.1.0.1, this problem is persistant.
Here's the problem in detail:
In global Preferences, I click on "Colors", and then New Scheme, give it a name, and I define my colors. However, when I open a new file, the colors are reverted to the default. When I check the preferences again, the name that I have given to my color scheme is labeled as "User settings", and they are the same as the default colors.
This is really annoying as every time I open a file, I have to change the color schemes. It seems like these settings are not being saved in the user-configuration file for some reason or another.
I have tried deleting my user-config file in the user directories, and started new user-config files, but to no avail, the problem is persistent. The color just will not stay.
How do I get around this problem?

Mystery: XP display color scheme : silver can result in black on black unreadable controls

My setup is a Dell PC running XP Professional. Display Dell 1901 (also does this on Default Display). Intel 82856G Integrated Graphics driver. LabVIEW 7.1.
The color settings for the 5 controls on the attached .vi are foreground: 179 179 179 and background 255 255 255 yet some appear as black on black in the XP display color scheme : silver and some appear as black on white. By setting the XP color scheme to default, you can use the color sample and color fill tools to change whether a control will be black on black or black on white in the color scheme : silver view. It appears like there is some "magic property" that is not foreground or background color that is being copied with the color sample and fill tools.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I was a bit puzzled by this myself until someone suggested I use the "color sucker" tool to find out what the current colors of the enums were.
The color sucker tool (aka eye-dropper) can be used by selecting the paintbrush tool and holding CTRL on the keyboard. Now left-click the item you want to check the color of. Right-click any object to bring up the color picker, and look at the colors in the history. The one furthest to the right (that isn't "empty") is the color you just picked up with the color sucker.
You'll notice that on the problematic enums, the background color is "Hilight Text". This is a system color that will change depending on the theme you use. On the silver theme, it is black or near-black. On the others it is white or near-white.
When picking colors, you might want to be careful to watch the text next to the curently selected color box. If it has RGB values, this is safe (theme-independent). It's also safe to use named colors in the "User" list, such as "Control Background". But if the named color is a system color, it can change depending on your theme.
Disclaimer: I don't know if color sucker or eye dropper is the "official" term for this tool.

Color scheme in a tv card

i have conxant bt878 tv-in card and use it vith v4l2 and xawtv plugins
i give it pal signal to the composite (yellow plug) input
but i cant get correct display with any of the color schemes i choose in settings !
correct display but grayscale : works with pal-nc and sometimes pal-m (intermittent)
(screenshot)
(what it looks like in reality)
running multiple grayscale frames : happens with all other pal
same thing with each frame colored in one of r/g/b : happens with all secam
(screenshot)
(what it looks like in reality)
top of screen is proper bottom of video (in grayscale though) and everything else is constant green : happens with all ntsc and sometimes pal-m
what is the problem with color ?
a standard tv plugged to the same signal detects it as pal and displays normal color video

Status Bar Color Scheme

The status bar color scheme changed on my Galaxy SIII. Both the Battery and Signal Strength indicator bar used to be green - now it is white...which i do not like. Is there a way to change the color back to its original state?

Why on earth would they change the color scheme of the indicators when they release the latest OS update? What the coloring scheme harming or slowing down the performance of the phone?

Color scheme changed on my ipod touch how do i change it back to normal?

I was listening to my ipod touch, when i went to unlock my ipod the color scheme (color effect) changed (by itself), Now instead of being the normal color it has like a multicolor color effect. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!

Unfortunately, if I told you, I'd be giving a hint of how to allow someone to illegally copy music from someone else's iPod to their machine. There is a reason why it is blocked. And no, you don't have to erase the iPod. I would request the techs give you help in doing that. If they don't, ask other techs.

Motif L&F: support for color schemes?

I want to use the Motif L&F in my Java application, but I want the color scheme to be chosen as per the users installed Color theme(using the CDE Style Manager).
Having a default bluish grey UI does not blend well with my 'Desert' or 'Delphinium' color theme... how can I achieve this in my java app with minimal code?
Thanks

Doesnt look like Sun provided support for Themes in
Motif L&F...
I tried the SwingSet demo on Solaris, and when Motif
L&F is chosen, the Theme drop down gets disabled...Got Mantis? The GTK L&F in 1.4.2 supports themes. Otherwise, you might be able to do what you want by subclassing MotifLookAndFeel--just that class, I mean, not the whole L&F. You would actually be creating a new L&F that uses all of the Motif UI delegate classes, but replacing its color scheme with your own. I've never tried it, so it might not be that simple--and if it takes any more effort than that, it's not worth it. Not with the GTK L&F already out there, and the Synth L&F coming in 1.5.
and, as an aside, the SwingSet font in the 'view
source' pane is extremely small and unreadable on
Solaris... looks like sloppy workmanship!
It's the same on Windows. I believe it's due to a known bug that causes the HTML renderer to make Swing's already-too-small fonts, even smaller.
