Font Color Issue

I'm unable to specify a color for links in iWeb. I'm making my links blue in iWeb, but when the page is published, either to mobile me or to a local disk, the color is the default color, which is gray. My text color is also not the specific (web safe) color of gray that I'm specifying.
This is getting frustrating, you'd think iWeb would be way more flexible in its presentation, using CSS or something, to make things look the way we want. . .

If the colors are OK in iWeb try deleting the preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and maybe restarting your Mac before republishing.

Font color issues in published output

I have just upgraded a couple of older Captivate projects to 5.5.
On some of the slides I have click boxes set to open URLs when clicked, and I have colored the text blue and underlined it so that it looks like a hyperlink.
When viewing the published content I've noticed that my hyperlink text is black, instead of blue.
Has anyone run into this issue before? I've searched the forums and couldn't easily find any references to this issue, although this is not the first time I've seen this problem with my courses.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Brian

Rod, thank you so much for the reply.
The blue is just your standard #0000FF blue, which should be safe with 8 bit quality, and the slides were set to 8 bit quality the last time they were published (and worked) in an older version Captivate. Kind of weird, right?
BUT, being the optimist that I am, I took your suggestion and tried setting one of the slides to 24 bit, and the blue is blue once again rather than black! Very bizarre, but faster than the work around I had found yesterday so I'm probably going to roll with it. I found that changing the slide quality to 24 bit has a minimal impact on the size of the published swf file, so I'm good.
Again, oddly enough, my work around mentioned above involves changing the default caption style to what Captivate calls "default caption capture style". With my caption style set as this my blue is blue, even with the slide quality set at 8 bit. I took one of my older courses and went through changing all of the caption styles. Took me a little while as changing the caption style changes the font, font color, font styles, font sizes, paragraph alignment settings, etc., etc.
And on a side track, I got to thinking after I noticed that changing the caption style seemed to fix the font color issue... My original project used a custom caption style, one that I had not yet "reinstalled" since upgrading to Captivate 5.5. So, I added the custom caption styles, even changed the name of the caption style and tried to reapply it, but no dice.
It seems that, with the slide quality set at 8 bit, if I use a caption style of "default caption style", my blue is black on publish. But, if I use a different caption style, such as "default capture caption style", my blue is blue, even at 8 bit quality.

Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
=============
This is more or less my technique :
//I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
//Create a JTextPane
JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
//Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
_tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
//Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
//I then have a function to create new documents
void newDocument(){
_docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
_tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
   //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
//I then have another function to load content
void loadContent(){
   //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
   String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
   //I set content for my editor
   _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
//Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
//have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
// I always get the bug
//To change color it goes like this :
JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
//I correctly initialize this combo with colors
//then I do something like this
ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
      Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
      MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
      setAttributeSet(mas);
_cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
//Set Attributes goes something like this
private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {
        //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
        int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
        int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
            //Apply attributes to selection
            _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
        else{
            //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
            MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
            atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

hi, friend!
try this:
void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
good luck.

Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have no possibilities to enter the color code either:
I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

@Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
This is what that box looks like for me:
It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution. I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

Hi
I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you receive any error message?
Which Excel version are you using? Excel 2013 or other?
Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
Are you performing any specific task?
According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Thirdly, if the issue still exists, we may try to collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do advanced troubleshooting.

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Change font color in reports depending on condition

I have an application that generates a number of new records at
the click of a button, which the user can then modify through
several report-form links. My users have requested that the data
appear in one color in the reports if they have not yet updated
the records, and that they change color, permanently, when
updated. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I do well with
PLSQL, but I think this is probably a Javascript issue(?) - or
is it possible to specify font color of a report when you call a
URL?
Any ideas anyone?

Thank you, both Michaels. I was excited. I was sure this would
work, so I added the updated_by fields to all my reports (they
should be useful anyway). I worked on a couple of other issues
related to this, and returnred this morning to add the HTML font
tags to my report queries. I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK! I've attached
my code, and error message. Any thoughts on what I'm doing
wrong? Thanks.
(Note: The query works fine without the HTML tags.)
My code:
select ''||activity.act_text||'' act_text,
from Activity, survey, temp
where activity.survey_id = survey.survey_id and
survey.survey_id = temp.survey
Error message:

I appreciate your help. I'm tearing my hair out.

Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
blog
Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
blog
... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
color="#FF9966"
It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

Tab set font color

I just downloaded the fix pack and have noticed that I am still unable to change the tab set tab font color. Am I doing anything wrong?'
Thanks,

I believe what Purnima was speaking of was the Tab Background color properties.
However, I believe there is an issue with the Label Over Color and Label Selected Color mapping properties of the Tab Set.
Thanks.

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.

Font color changes when exporting to quicktime

Hi,
I'm creating some animated text via LiveType; importing into FCE; and then exporting either as mpeg-4 (for youtube) or directly as a quicktime movie (to see supposedly the best video).
The font colors look the same between LiveType and FCE; however, when I export to quicktime (as a quicktime movie) or to mpeg-4 (h.264 encoder), the font colors look washed out. Both the .mov and .mp4 look about the same. So, I went back to LiveType and cranked up the intensity of these colors (looking pretty saturated in LiveType and FCE). When I repeat the export, the colors are still washed out compared to what I see in FCE and LiveType; but they are now probably acceptable in quicktime and web viewing.
Is anything thing I can do to make the font colors more consistent between FCE and an exported quicktime or mpeg-4 file? Can anyone suggest another converter that might be better at preserving font color? I've tried plain mpeg-4; h.264; etc.
tia.

Thanks for the reply. It was created using Apple Pages. I tried exporting to PDF in two different ways, both with the same result.
1. Within Apple Pages, one can click File > Export > PDF
2. The other option is to click Print > PDF > Save as PDF
I also tried this second method with Microsoft Word, and again the color was altered. Any suggestions that you can provide to resolve this issue will be very helpful.

Font Colors & Color Picker Problem

Why won't the color picker change my font color? It has worked for months and today it won't.
[Title Edited for clarity - Hunt]

Reset the tool. In v11 & v12 it is at the right of the Tool Options panel at the bottom - a down arrow next to four horizontal lines. In earlier versions at the left of the tool options at the top of the screen.

Changing Konsole font colors a la xterm

Hello. I'm not a big fan of the default font colors that Konsole uses for things such as directories, exexecutables, strings, vim syntax highlighting etc. I was wondering how to go about getting the same font colors in konsole that I can for say aterm (by configuring the .Xdefaults file with the appropriate font colors...) Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I resolved this issue. In Konsole there is a schema type of 'Vim colors' that will allow you to utilize the xterm color settings in the .Xdefaults file.

C3-01 How can I change my SMS font color??

White font when I reply to an sms is impossible to read due to my light colored theme. how can I change the font color for these reply messages?
Thanks

as angielynrhose said the font colour is normally defined by the theme, I've had themes in the past that produce white on white which is obviously useless, simply find another theme you like and install it, I've used many from Tehkseven in the past without issue !
