Folder background color changes by it'self

I have picture folders that seem corrupted. First I will start off by saying my home folder is set to have a background color "Nice light green" instead of the brilliant white. The home folder is set for this color to apply to all folders and my icon setting is at 64.
I like to modify my picture folders by choosing "show view options" from the drop down menu on the opened folder then making the icons larger so it is easier to see the thumbnails of the pictures in that folder. So far so good. The light green should still apply, right. Well when I open those folders again the background color is always different, usually purple. I always set the preference "for this folder only" but the problem seems not to go away. If I set the picture folder to "all windows" the green background comes back but my icons are small again.
I also tried making a new folder and copying the pictures to it and deleting the so called corrupted one but it still does it. I think it is a bug in the OS myself.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Glenn

In my last post I stated "I found a work around for this but does not fix the actual problem.
Open the folder(s) you want to have larger preview icons in and choose picture for background color instead of color. I made a small 640 x 480 solid color .jpg (a nice soft green) that matches the rest of my folder backgrounds for my main folder. Each time I had to tell the folder preferences twice to choose the picture then after closing the folder preference and folder it was good the next time I opened it. Now I can open picture folders with a large icon setting so it is easy to preview them and not have to look at some horrible purple background or some other extreme color."
The only problem is that if the folder is open larger than the image assigned to it OS X does not stretch it so you see your main color scheme. I tried to match them with little luck on perfection so I came up with this and it seems better.
Another way is to make a .jpg as small as possible. I made one about one pixel but OSX sees it as a picture. You can those choose to use the ultra small picture in the folders and this way OS X will default to the main color scheme anywhere outside the one pixel or so and this will allow you to have some folders with larger icons for picture preview and not have those crazy colors.

  • Background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %% on email

    I type =25% on my email and sent out, background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %%.

    Try leaving a space after the =
    Thus: = 25%
    Where and when did it change? Did it change inside Thunderbird? Did it change in the Sent folder? Or in a reply to you?
    = and % are used in certain types of email encoding; =20% often appears, meaning character 0x20 which is 32 denary or the space character. It is often used where an explicit space would be illegal, and this is common in URLs and other links. I'm thinking that =25% similarly has a special meaning. It ''shouldn't'' get decoded, but software is buggy.
    I can't reproduce it here, which is why I'm asking about how and when it changes. Where does the Microsoft software come into it?

  • Cell/Background color changes when copying to other Excel 2010 document

    When you copy and paste report cells (e.g. CO report outputted in Office integration, MS Excel) to a new Excel file, the background color changed dramatically (to bright red).

    Anyone has similiar problems?  Appreciate any help.

    dear friend,
    you would do:
    1. search SAP Notes;
    2. check out the updates/patches for your MS Office;
    3. replicate it on another computer/another sap user (make sure it is a local issue)

    Hi,
    When system is in a sleep mode or hibernate mode, it will save the data ans settings in memory or hard disk, so I suggest you run a memory check and a harddisk check and see if it can detect any errors.
    Memory check (instruction is similiar to windows 8\8.1, type "memory" in the search charm bar)

  • Folder background color won't stay

    Help would definitely be appreciated for this one. It's frustrating. I want the backgrounds of my folders to be different colors, simply for the look, but every time I change the color and leave the folder - I will come back to that folder and it will have a different color applied. Any ideas what's causing this or how to control it?

    for my part, i can say : yes. all folders for which the background color is set.
    closing and reopening switches color.
    switching from "this window" to "all windows" and back also triggers the alternation of colors in the "this window" mode.
    steps :
    - create folder
    - open it
    - set icon view
    - set color background for "this window"
    - close it
    - open it again
    or, after setting color background:
    - switch to "all windows"
    - switch to "this window"
    ...while doing this you may withness another strange behavior: each time the folder window opens, its position is offseted right and down, until it goes back to its intial position and the cycle starts over.

  • Folder background colors & System Profiler?

    I just installed Lion (10.7.4) yesterday and have a couple problems. First, there is a question mark in my dock for the System Profiler which used to be there and I can't find it in the application folder anymore. Also, the colored background of various data folders I created turn white when the files inside are sorted and the "background chooser" in "view options" won't change it back again. I used colored backgrounds in folders to help in organizing data files. Is there any way to get back control of this?

    On the background chooser issue, it looks like it only works in icon view.
    Change a window’s background
    You can use a color or photo as the background of a Finder window.
    Open the window and choose View > As Icons.
    Pictures and colored backgrounds are visible only when items in a window are viewed as icons.
    Choose View > Show View Options.
    Under Background, select either Color or Picture.
    Color: Click the color box and select a background color.
    Picture: Click Select and choose the picture you want to use.
    White: Return the background to normal.
    To have every Finder window on your computer use this color or picture as its background, click “Use as Defaults.”
    To reverse your changes, press the Option key and click “Restore to Defaults.”
    Note: The “Use as Defaults” and “Restore to Defaults” buttons do not appear if you’re adjusting icons for the desktop or for the “All My Files” and “All My Applications” folders.

  • Axis Legend Background Color Change?

    Is it possible to change the background color for the axis legend text? Numbers displays the chart (in this case a line chart) on the spreadsheet with the x and y legend values on a transparent background. The transparency makes the values very difficult to see, and I'm hoping there's some way to change the background or fill of the legend area to plain old white. Or even better, just change the background of the entire chart to white. Darned if I can figure out how to do such a simple thing, though.
    TIA,
    Scot

    My workaround:
    insert a rectangular rectangle whose stroke and background are white and put it behind the chart

  • Background color change option for box in screen painter

  • Background color change question - only selecting the footer

    I use the darkroom theme and was curious about changing the page background color. Right now my settings use the darkroom theme 'right out of the box' which is 'image fill' on both the page and browser background. That is the textured look.
    When I try to change the color, selecting 'color fill' instead of 'image fill', it only changes the footer - not the entire page background.
    I'm guessing it's not possible to change a color using the 'image fill.' You get 'image fill' in black or gray as shown and that is it, except should you decide to use your own image, which I do not.
    Any way to be able to have a change apply to the entire page and not just the footer?
    Suggestions welcome.

    I tried to do the same just see what the problem was and failed. It is probably 'cos the top layer is independant of the page background or browser background. Even when I had page background none and altered the browser background it made no difference. If you want anything different try using a blank black or white theme and putting your own graphics on there. You can make quite nice backgrounds if you have a decent paint or photo program.

  • Background color change on Flex builder editor

    I have been searching around to see if there is a way to
    change the editor's backgorund. After long hours of coding, the
    white background hurt my eyes.
    I know wehre ti change the text color, and the background
    color of the console, but not the editor (source). Any idea?

    hi
    if you are using flex builder 3 you go to to:
    window->preferences
    then select General and inside it select Editors
    Inside editors you have Text Editors, select that and you
    will see what you want.

  • Background color change for  XML Template

    Hi All,
    We have created a xml template for creation of news using xml form builder. When we are creating a news by using this template the background color of the news always shows SAP default color (light blue) for both Renderlist and Show forms. Our requirement is to change the background color.
    Any help can be appreciated  and points will be rewarded immediately.
    Thanks,
    Satya

    Hi Satyadev,
    You have 3 options:
    Within the forms builder you can get a white background by setting the form to either "border" or "no border".  This is done by clicking anywhere on the form (where there is no other element) and modifying the "style" property
    You can modify the portal theme so that the background colour is your choice.  However this will affect all forms in the portal, not just this one.
    Or you can manually modify the form XSL stylesheet.  This involves typing the html code to apply your chosen colour.  However, this modification is lost if you re-generate the XML forms project, so this should be a last resort.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • Background Color change JFrame

    I have to change the background color when the result is either too high or low. Program runs great except the background color doesn't change. And before you complain about my code, I hit the "CODE" button before and after my code in here and it does nothing. The videos wouldn't play. So I don't know how to add code correctly.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.util.Random;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class NumberGuess extends JFrame {
    Random rand = new Random ( ) ;
    int randomNumber = 1 + rand.nextInt(1000);
    int count = 0;
    private JFrame panel = new JFrame();
    private JFrame panelButtons = new JFrame();
    private JFrame panelBottom = new JFrame();
    private void compareResult() {
    int userInput = Integer.parseInt(tempTextField.getText().trim());
    if ( userInput > randomNumber )
    resultLabel.setText( "Too High. Try a lower number." );
    setBackgroundColor(Color.blue);
    private void setBackgroundColor(Color color)
    panel.setBackground(color);
    panelBottom.setBackground(color);
    panelButtons.setBackground(color);

    I know this is New To Java, so I need to be nicer and most of you people don't probably have the intrinsic knowledge of "start tag" and "end tag".
    But still. All you need is to put your code between tags and everything will work great.
    AND HEY, There's the preview button too! So you can actually try and try and try until it works. It's just that programming is a difficult hobby and if you can't work the code tags, you really need to rethink whether you're ready for something that's actually complicated.
    (Also if you're not using the code tags, your code will totally get screwed up and people can't help you even if they wanted to.)
    As for your code, try using SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). That's the only way you can modify the GUI when you're not running in the event thread.
