Gtk3 tooltips: black writing on black background (Newlooks)
Hi there!
I'd love to use Newlooks gtk theme, but I have a problem with, e.g. network-manager-applet on xfce: its tooltip is shown as a completely black box. I *assume* it's got text in it, but the text must be black, cause I can't discern it from the box. I tried messing with the files found in /usr/share/themes/Newlooks/gtk-3.0 a little, but nothing changed *anything* (upon logging out and in, that is - didn't try rebooting yet). Is there any way to fix this?
Kind regards,
Rufus

Here is my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk
gtk-color-scheme = "fg_color: #000;bg_color: #F4E6CE;text_color: #000;base_color: #FDFCFA;selected_bg_color: #74B150;selected_fg_color: #FFF;tooltip_bg_color: #AAFAB4;tooltip_fg_color: #000"
gtk-font-name = DejaVu Sans 10
I use "tooltip_bg_color" and "tooltip_fg_color" to choose the tooltip color.
You might try to put something like:
gtk-color-scheme = "tooltip_fg_color: #FFFFFF"
in the settings.ini file to only change the color of text in tooltips.

Black background/white writing
Hi there,
Just wondered if anyone knows of a phone that has a black background with white writing on all parts of the phone? Most phones at the moment have the facility to change it but the texts normally come up with white background/black writing.
It's basically for someone who has trouble with their sight, and I'm just trying to find a suitable phone for them. If anyone knows of any downloads either, that would be great.
Thank you for your help!
ClaraAn S60 phone with the appropriate theme should do the trick.
Take a look at http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html and filter on S60 devices, and you'll get a list of suitable phones.
As for themes, there are loads of them to download. Some of the best are available from http://taiebthemes.com - another place is http://www.zedge.net where you can even design your own theme.

Printing AnyGantt creates black background color
I use a customized AnyGantt chart. When I try to print it on a page A3 I get a mean issue with the background color. It becomes black. The Chart itself looks good.
When I try the same with examples from AnyChart.com the no black background appears. I don't see a difference.
The black background occurs with my PDF Creator, my real printer and if I save it as a picture.
Example application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=ANYGANTT_PROBLEM:1
If you add my source code as XML data you should see a nice Gantt diagram with damn printing problems!

</anygantt>Edited by: Tobias Arnhold on Feb 3, 2011 11:28 AMFor your information. I opened a ticket by AnyChart:
Hi AnyChart-team!
I have a huge problem with printing an AnyGantt chart.
The description of problem:
When I use the following syntax in my style section:
<styles>
<period_styles>
<period_style name="p1">
<bar_style>
<labels>
<label>
<text>{%start}</text>
<font color="Black" />
</label>
</labels>
<middle shape="Full">
<fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
<border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
</middle>
</bar_style>
</period_style>
</period_styles>
</styles>The print output crashes with the effect that some shapes are not visible anymore. If I use no Label styles then it works:
<styles>
<period_styles>
<period_style name="p1">
<bar_style>
<middle shape="Full">
<fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
<border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
</middle>
</bar_style>
</period_style>
</period_styles>
</styles>I came along another issue with an old Flash Player version and tried the newest one: 10,1,102,64
Then this issue came up. In the older version: 10,8,84 it worked without any issues.
The PDF: Flash.pdf shows the problem.
I do not understand the black background color inside the PDF either?

Why did iTunes suddenly become white font on black background?
For no reason I can ascertain, my iTunes window suddenly became white font on black background, VERY difficult to see!
Help, please!!!Figured it out, fixed it. In app Onyx, I had checked, in the iTunes file, "High Contrast". I unchecked that and everything is back to normal - black on white. Hope this message gets around to others writing about this.

I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.
I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

Print quality of grey text on rich black background
I've been working on various print materials that require me to use a lot of grey text at various shades set on a black background. My understanding is that this can easily look terrible due to the misregrestation of the four colors. Here's an example of the kind of text I'm working with:
This is how I have things set up right now:
Rich Black Swatch: C70 M50 Y30 K100
All text uses the same swatch at various tints in InDesign (15% tint for headlines, 25% tint for body text)
Body text size is 8 pt/10.8 pt, headlines are 14 pt
These are being printed on an offset press and the printer isn't local, so we don't get proofs. Is there are better way to set this up or is this the best I can hope for? Thanks for any help!I wonder what type of paper are you planning on using for these pages? Your total ink amount is 250. What you should be concerned about is dot gain and ink spread. Oh, nice rich Black on screen isn't so nice on press for a number of reasons. Have you thought about using a Spot Black? Why use process if all you have is Black? Unless, ofcourse, you have other elements that use process colors. You have to know the press and the paper before you can make a judgement about the effectiveness of rich Black with screen tinted variants. You could bite the bullet and let the file fly. Or, you could use just Black with screen tint variants to lesson problems on press and with readibility. No proofs? No press check either?

How can I create a black background around a closeup of a flower?
I want to have some of my close-up pics of flowers on a black background. Is there a way to do this with aperture? I use aperture on both my iMac and Macbook Pro.
Thanks for any help.One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect. -
My iTunes 11.0 (mac) has a black background colour and I can not see all of the information for each song. How do I change the background colour in iTunes 11.0 (mac) so I can see check boxes etc. My download window shows no information, it is entirely black.
Trent o
Someone else in the forum told me how to do this. If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode. If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it. It is freeware and used to help maintain your system. Good luck

I can't find a place to change the background to black from white. I'd like Photoshop's automated web gallery feature to show photos against a black background once I open the htm file inside Firefox. I use a Mac with OS 10.6.7 (current) on my 27-in. iMac. Thanks very much
There are often many ways to do things, and c.pfaffenbichler's suggestion above is good.
However, as I'm very fond of Curves, I'd use Image - Adjust - Curves (or Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves) myself, and pull the black point of the blue curve up.

Can't remove black background of camera flare in tech blue HD...
I am modifying a template in Motion for the opening of an Industrial Video for a client.
I have isolated the lens flare and the lens flare rectangle, but cannot seem to export without the seemingly built in black background.
Can anyone tell me how to export the lens flare minus the black background, or where I can get or how I can create a lens flare on my own.
This is an emergency, any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
SMGHDI did it and the background remains black. I either must be doing something wrong, or there is an inherent flaw in this program.
Do you know where else I may be able to search/create a lens flare that will export without a black background??
In any case, thank you for your help.

Black background in Acrobat 9?
Hi, I've just tested the Acrobat 9 _Reader_ The black background (compared to the gray one in Acrobat 9) is _horrible_. (Much too contrast compared to the white sheet.)
Is this black also in Acrobat 9? Is in Acrobat 9 any chance to change it?
Thanks!Just installed 9.0, having this same problem with the horrible black background.
Why haven't they included such a siple option as changing the background color.
I noticed that it is possible to change it in fullscreen mode, which i hardly ever use, as graphic designer i ike to see and check my documents at 100% size. -
When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen. The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen. Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo. Any idea what's going on?
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. .

I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
I followed these steps to make my background black:
"Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

Too small guide letters and black background on guide.
Thank you LakeTahoe, you will be added to my report
Rick. I do plan on doing my own research and looking up users on other threads about this topic.
Let me clarify my request: If you guys know anyone who has the same feelings towards font size on their X1 guide please let me know. I am working with an Accessibility Supervisor who wants to compile this report. No other research is required other than getting in touch with me.
Please keep in mind this issue might not be fixed by dinnertime, but we need to present a solid report to our engineers in order to foster change. I appreciate your patience.

i have the X! system. The letters on my tv sets for the guide are too small to read. The black background on the guide should be able to be changed. When will this be fixed? Is someone working on it? Who is working on it? Why is it taking so long to be fixed?mrm555mrm, take any response from Rick with a "grain of salt". That choice is up to the individual but I am a 37 year veteran of the AV field. I am a CEDIA trained and certified home theater system designer and project supervisor. I am highly respected in my field. I might just know a thing or two about this. Apparently everything works perfectly for him. Yes it does and I am quite happy about that. He's also appointed himself the keeper somebody's gotta do it... LOL of these forums and is quick to scold anyone who dares to offer a critique of the X1 platform if it has been previously posted. If I "scold" anyone it is because they complained before they researched the topic or actually took the time to learn the product. I am not fond of the "complain first, learn second" philosophy. 90% of the questions or concerns posted in this forum can be solved by a 30 second Google search. Be assured there are those of us who have real issues with the X1 platform, Nobody has offer more help in this forum then I have. The "numbers" speak for themselves. That being said, there are many other helpful people in this forum who I have the utmost respect for and they know who they are. who don't read every post and who actually believe the more an issue is reported, whether in a previous thread or a new one, some action may be taken by Comcast. Now that may be a naive view based on the number of issues that have not been fixed, addressed or at least acknowledged by Comcast, but we can hope that someone there is listening. Roughly two months ago, I exchanged emails with a Comcast employee who hinted people that NEEDED to pay attention to this forum might not be... I was a bit disappointed.
I stand everything I have said about guide font size and legibility. I think it is wonderful in it's current form. But I have always said I support the ability to adjust guide size which the original X1 guide offered (but very few people used). If Comcast restored the ability to adjust guide font size, I would be all for it. I would set it smaller on at least one of my TVs.

Mac Mini 2014 Boots With Black Background/White Apple
Mac Mini Specs: 2014 Model with 2.6GHz processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, Intel Iris Graphics, Mini-Display Port to DVI adapter with Dell monitor
Issue: When booting the Mac Mini up it goes through a very standard Yosemite boot but the background is black and the apple and progress bar are both white. The issue is entirely cosmetic in nature and doesn't seem to have any negative effects. What I normally expect and have seen in 30+ macs upgraded to Yosemite is the same loading but with a grey screen. It's worth noting that I have noticed this issue on 2 iMac 2010s that had been upgraded to Yosemite that belonged to some friends, but their issues were intermittent or fixed.
Steps Taken:
Updated from 10.10 to 10.10.1 and installed all other available updates
Checked the Start-up Manager, Recovery, and Internet Recovery. All have black backgrounds and internet recovery's globe is small then normal.
Reset SMC and NVRAM
Tested Safe Boot
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Removed all peripherals except monitor
Tested another monitor and DVI cable
Tested HDMI without the adapter
Replaced Mac Mini with new Mac Mini
Questions:
1. Have you seen this issue before and what are the specs of the device it occurred on? (OS, Model, Year)
2. I wonder if this might be expected but can't find anything to reference that it would be and didn't get any answers even when asking people at the store or over the phone. Have you seen any articles/pages that talk about this issue?
3. Can you think of anything else to try and resolve this?This is normal for the newer machines running Yosemite. There's nothing wrong.
Maybe you are looking for
