Email font color

When I type an email the font color is black and I want to change it to blue.
Help said to create a Rule to change the color, but when I do that the only color
that is changing is in the From window of Inbox of my in coming mail.
I apologize if I'm in the wrong forum.
thanks

Yes, you are in the wrong forum; you should have posted in the Mail and Address Book forum for 10.4, but I have the moderators move this post there.
If you want to change the color of the mail text, you first need to type out your message, the select all the text or just the portion you want to change colors on, choose Format > Show Colors from the Mail menu and pick a color from one of the color pickers there. And if you've got your mail setup to send only Plain Text, you must allow Mail to change it to Rich Text in order for the colors to be set.
Rules only apply to incoming mail, not mail you're sending.

Email fonts/colors

Since registering with .Mac, I have been unable to size fonts or select colors for emails. I am new to MAC...only had computer 2 weeks. Need info
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Macs.
To change your font/colors in Mail, open preferences (under the "Mail" menu at the top, to the left of "File").
The 4th selection over from the left is fonts and colors. Hope this helps,
Steve

Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

In Earthlink WebMail when inserting an email address or weblink, the text no longer turns blue and underlines, and I can't change font colors. IE Works.

Whenever I try to insert an email address or a link to a website, I no longer get the automatic hyperlink (turning blue and underlining). Also if I try to change the font color on some text it either doesn't change from black or it changes to a different color. (If I try to change to red, I get dark green; change to a bright green, I get dark red; change to blue or yellow, I get black).
I tried removing and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Earthlink is clueless.
This all works properly using Internet Explorer.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

When composing an email, how do I highlight a word in yellow (NOT change the font color, just highlight)?

On Windows when composing an email, I would often highlight a word or sentence in yellow. I don't seem to have this option on my Mac Book Air toolbar as I did when I had on my laptop. How can I add this feature to my toolbar? I don't want to change the font color, just want to highlight a word within the email.
Thank you,

You may or may not be able to do this based on which e-mail client or webmail platform you're using. In your email options, you'll want to have the option to paste it as rich-text or HTML. If you only have the option for plain text then you're out of luck.

Is there a way to personalize my font in my icloud email i.e. make permanent change/default settings to font, color. I don't want to make these changes on each individual email?

How to set font Color in Mail

Sometime ago I set in Mail the default font to Arial, and the default font Size to 18, so when I write a new email these are my default font and size. But I could not set the font Color. How do I do this?

Sounds like you have the Preferences toolbar closed on another selection.
Go to Mail > Preferences and at the top right of the Preferences window is a clear pill shaped button.
Selecting this button opens/closes the complete Preferences toolbar.

Changing font color site-wide??

Hi,
I am trying to change the color of my font and my links
site-wide. Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks,
David

You would need to add those to a stylesheet that was linked
to all the
pages, not just in the head of a single document.... 8)

Copy letter from Pages to Mail font color not transfered with copy

I am writing a letter in Pages and copying the text into a new email in Mail. When I paste the text into the new email I am losing formating. Is there a way to keep font color formating exactly as it was (several different colors in one line) in Pages.
Thanks
Mark

Open Mail preferences, click on the Composing icon in the toolbar, set the Message Formatting drop down menu to Rich Text. Keep in mind that not all email recipients may be able to read email using HTML formatting. It may be better to send your Pages document as an attachment rather than as the main body of the email provided your recipients will be able to read a Pages document.

Re: (forte-users) How do you change the font color onwindow.StatusText

Hi Richard,
In the init method insert the line
<_StatusLine>.PenColor = C_BLUE ;
This sets the pen color for the widget.
StatusText is an attribute on the Window class that
holds the value of the text. This value is then
displayed in the specified data field that you assign.
Hope this helps,

I'm using Forte 3.0.G.2 and can't get the font color
to change.
I've followed the instructions in the help
documentation by creating a data
field widget (named it _StatusLine) and mapped it as
a TextData. In my Init
method I then have a chunk of code to set up the
Window.StatusText. It
looks like this:
_StatusLine = new;
Window.StatusText = _StatusLine;
Once that's done the code updates Window.StatusText
as needed. All this
works fine except I can't get the font color
changed. I've used the Window
workshop to specify a color for the data field
widget but it appears that
the underlying Forte libraries has a mind of it's
own. Any clues as what to
do? All I'm trying to do is set the color to the
default "information"
color - which is blue.
Thanks in advance

It's not so simple to find it if you don't know what you're looking for... But it can be found via View - Show/Hide - Toolbar Items - Properties Bar.

Spry menu font color

I've replaced a traditional navigation menu with Spry menu. I thought the ul.MenuBarVertical a was where I should change the font color but it is not having an effect. Can you direct me to the right CSS to change. You can see the site at http://www.kinggraphics.net/premier%20site/index.html
I would like the font to be cream but it is coming out blue.

Not a Spry expert, but the code on your page has no CSS class applied to your Nav links.
Hope this helps

Hyperlink font color

This seems like it must be a simple one but I am out of time
and can't figure out how to set the font color of a hyperlink. The
font color in the CSS rule is white. When I change it to a
hyperlink it changes to blue. I want it white.
TIA

Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here
are some
tutorials.

6750 Mural Selection Key Font Color

The color of the selection/soft key labels is dark blue which is sometimes difficult to view if your wallpaper is dark in that area. When I change the Home screen font color, I'd expect the color of these labels to change though all that changes color is the date and profile name. I'm guessing this is because the labels exist in more places than the home screen though I'd think the color could still be changed. Am I missing a setting?
Thanks!

I have done that it the Properites panel but when I click
CTRL and Enter and complete the email form myself, I can see there
is a difference in fonts in one of the fields - although the
Properties panel tell me otherwise.
I just though AS would force the issue.
