Dock balloon text black on grey

Hi, after upgrading to snow leopard and running spyder3 color calibration, the text in the Dock balloons went black, e.g. the name of the application displayed when hovering the mouse is black on nearly black. The same black-on-grey/black text also appears in some installers now.
Other colors are just perfect. Though I can revert to a sRGB monitor profile / uncalibrated state, the Dock text stays black, and removing spyder3 doesn't fix it either. Checking color palette there are no unexpected black spots there, so i figure only Dock (and Finder?) color settings have changed.
So -- where are the font color settings for the Dock hidden?

Same problem. But wait. There's more.
When I edit a file name in Finder, the edit field is completely black such that I can't see what I'm typing until I've finished.
In Finder, using Icon view or List view, the background is black and I can't see file or folder names.
It is specific to my user only.
Problem started when I was doing a presentation using mini-DVI to VGA adapter.

Text tool is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? [was: Text]

The text on my photoshop is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? I have tried to change the color but no matter what I do it leaves the text in grey/

What is the image mode? Image > Mode - should be set to RGB
Do you have a B&W adjustment layer above the Type layer?
If you are not sure, it would help if you upload a screen grab of your entire workspace with the Layers and History panels visible. Keep it at full resolution please.

Droid Question: White Text Black Background

The inboxes for my 2 email accounts on my Motorola Droid [not my gmail account] show with white text and black or grey background. Is there someway I can reverse this so that the text is black and the backgrounds are either whiter or grey? [The gmail account appears the way I want it: black text and white or grey background]. Thanks much.

Have you tried removing the email accounts and then readding them? Sometimes this helps with resetting them in case a setting was set up wrong from your email accounts when you first added them.

Why is my text black?

Hi everyone.
I'm totally new to dreamweaver as well as css. Am fumbling around working on my first project.
http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html
There is a menu bar towards the top of the screen. It's black text on a grey background. It is supposed to be white text on a grey background so it's easily readable.
The menu is set as an asset in my assets folder.
I have some CSS controlling the asset but it will not take effect and work on the text.
Here is the CSS for the asset
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><style type="text/css">

</style><body link="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF"><a href="../index2.html">Home</a> | <a href="../Pages/companyHistory.html">Company History</a> | <a href="../Pages/contactInformation.html">Contact Information</a> | <a href="http://www.ftworthremodel.com">Remodeling</a>
I don't have any html or css controlling the asset or DIV in which it's located on the index2.html homepage.
I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, I opened up your source code for the site. Here's what you need to do.
Take the styles after "<div id="mainMenu">" and move them back into the head. Delete the link styles in already in the head as they're just redundant:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
So now instead of looking like this:
a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
-->
</style>
<script src="index2_files/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style><style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID2 {visibility:hidden}</style></head><body link="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff">
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="mainMenu"><style type="text/css">

</style><a href="http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html">
It should look like this:
a:link {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #999;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
-->
</style>
<script src="index2_files/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style><style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID2 {visibility:hidden}</style></head><body link="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff">
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="mainMenu"><a href="http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html">

Screen fades from black to grey then into white.

Ive had my iphone for 3 1/2 weeks Out of nowhere my iphone 4s got all weird. My screen fades from black to grey into white. ive tried to reboot it it doesnt work. i also pressed the middle button and the power button for like 10 seconds and nothin happens. it turns off sometimes when i press the two buttons.
Then it just turned on like it supposed to, a few hours later it happened again. it all happened yesterday. then today i got on itunes to restore the phone to see if it works better then then while it was syncrnizing eerything into the phone it happened once again. i really dont know what to do! has anyone had the same or a similar problem? would it work if i just restore it and just make it a "new" phone ?
sorry my grammer isnt the best lol

While in the B/W desktop go to the System/Accessability preference pane and check to see if this checkbox is selected:
If it isn't toggle it on and then off again and see if there's any change.

When I scroll up or down on my screen, black and grey lines run across my screen and next to the scroll bar. How do it fix it?

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

Dock Connector in Black?

Can you get Dock Connectors in Black. I have just bought a Bose SoundDock System and the white Dock Connector supplied with my Green Nano looks grim.
Is it available as an accessory?

Thanks Jeff,
I spoke to them as none of the dock connectors supplied with the SoundDock fitted. They told me I needed to use the one supplied with the Nano along with the special spool piece they provide. £250 for a Black SoundDock and I need to use the white Nano shroud it looks dreadful! My beef is not with Apple but Bose really, they should supply black shrouds with Black SoundDocks. I presume if I had bought a Black Nano (8Gb) then I would have got a black shroud?

Photos are black or grey in Photoshop Lightroom

When you view your photos in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows, only a black or grey rectangle is displayed; you cannot see your photos.
The linked
Adobe Technote provides more information

This could mean any of the following:
You moved, renamed or deleted the photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom (hint: if this is what you did, don't do that any more)
If the photos are on an external drive, the drive may be asleep or turned off
If you use Windows, it could mean that the external drive has been assigned a different drive letter
The fix is described here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
If the problem is a different drive letter in Windows, you could simply change the drive letter back to what it was yesterday

Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

Why is the background black and the text black. You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

Hi dlwhit,
I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black. The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background. I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?
Thanks,
SunshineF

When using Hotmail my email text appears black, but when I look at them in my sent folder they are going from black to grey. Can this be resolved?

When using hotmail my email text appears blac, but when I get replies or look at the sent folder the emails are partly black text and then go grey, how do I stop this happening all the time please

Which email service provider are you using? You can install DropBox and share links to the files that way. When you snd to your self (cc or bcc) do the items show up? What file types and sizes are these attachments? Are you sending over WiFi or cellular connection? Try using more than one email account from a different provider (Gmail, yahoo, iCloud, etc) and see if it is email provider specific.

Black as grey???!!!

Well, I'm about to pull my hair out. haven't had a big problem with this before but now whenever I open an Illustrator CS6 file in Photoshop, or save the files as jpeg/etc, my blacks are always turning out grey. I have tried using rich black and changing from CMYK to RGB to see if there's any difference, but nothing has worked. It doesn't seem to do it with text but with my detailed vector artwork or shapes, which is getting very frustrating when I need to save off a logo and all the little black pieces are dark grey. Does anyone know how to fix this??
Thanks,
Jennifer

You always need to work in the suitable document color mode.
Want RGB black? First change the color mode, then change the colors.
Same with CMYK.
And don't convert colors when opening the file in Photoshop

Popup Key LOV - Can you make the text black?

Hi guys,
If I use Display as "Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key Value)" , this LOV selection produces a text field that is read and has perfect functionality for my application .... if only the text were black instead of grey, which is harder to read.
I've played around but had no luck. Is there any way of specifying this text as black?
NT

NT,
Did you ever figure out how to fix your problem? I have the same issue.
In Firefox I can change the text color to red with - style="color:red".
This has no impact in IE though. I just want to make it look the
same as the other text on the screen.

Black screen, Grey Circle and an exclamation mark! Why?

I'm using iPhoto 09. I can view photos as thumbnails in all Events. But when I click on them I get a black screen with a grey circle and an exclamation mark. This only happens on some events, not all. Whats happened?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Black Screen, Grey Screen, then flashing question mark, now frozen....

hi everyone,
i know i have probably the most common problem - and i've tried to read all about the logic board problems which i'm fairly certain i have.
I realize i will most likely have to buy a new macbook - but before i do - i need to retrieve files that are on my ibook g3 (bought in early 2003).
This is what has happened in the past 2 days:
1. I can hear the power start up (and chimes) but screen is completely black.
2. Tried resetting PRAM and PMU, now blank grey screen sometimes appears.
3. Now, grey screen with flashing question mark in the middle alternating with mac face. So i assumed this meant it couldn't locate my hard drive. So i found my ibook install disc and inserted it and restarted while holding down "C" key.
4. Grey screen - with Apple (thought this was success) - then it turned to a large grey circle with a line through it (a slash). And then suddenly frozen.
Since then it has just been a lot of lines through the screen alternating with completely grey screen, etc. along with any of the above-mentioned outcomes. I tried pushing on the lower-left-hand corner of the computer and yes, it affects the display - more or less lines, etc.
How can i get my old files off of it? Do i buy a new macbook and connect them via fire wire cable and try that way? or will that not work if the above is happening? Or is it possible for someone (myself or perhaps IT professionals) to remove the hard drive from my old ibook and place it somewhere where i can copy over the files?
Any help is appreciated - i know this is a popular topic - i've just had so many weird outcomes in the past 2 days i'm not exactly sure which solution (if any) would work for me right now.
Thanks so much!

Hi Ronda -
I do have access to another mac (mini) with firewire at my work. Or I might go out and buy a new macbook this weekend as well (preferable since I don't really want my personal files on my work computer, etc.) But yes, i need to get my old files off of this one.
I have never added additional memory or anything to it really since I got it. So it should be the original specs:
iBook (14.1 LCD 900 MHz 32 VRAM)
256MB memory
Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
Hard drive: 40GB
Not a lot of space was remaining if i recall. I did get the 'disk full' notice a few weeks ago, but i did end up deleting a lot of stuff. Needless to say, i'm sure it was quite full, but not at maximum when this happened.
Update: Last night i tried to start it up again, and it would ONLY go to a black screen this time (ie. no display at all). What do you think i should do?
