Hex color of x app in awesome wm

so in my awesome rc.lua i define my menu items as such
ex:
webbie = "arora -bg darkslategrey"
fm = "worker"
-- etc --
then for menu items i do as
web = {
{ "Browser", arora }
however .. rather than use a defined color i would like to do summin as such
webbie = "arora -bg "#222222""
however that gives my rc.lua a headache and a crash back to default
(hope this is enough info)
i would like to set an x app to a hex color defined in my rc.lua unless there is a better way
plz n ty for the help

so i read up a bit more ... rgb.txt is depricated and i found the answer lies in setting xresources. the command to put in xinitrc i get however when i define colors in .Xresources they dont seem to work for arora
assuming i understand the wiki i should be able to define colors i am not sure how much i wanna set as such as im very sure im not entirely understanding ... i would then :
arora.background: #222222
ill look more into this unless some one can explain better to me. sometimes i need to reread things 4 or 5 times and im not understanding the wiki as its not working
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources
is what im reading through in case anyone is familiar with this page

A plug-in for Adobe Color in the app or to allow the download file to be accessed by Muse

I think it would be awesome to have the functionality of adobe color CC. so that we can search for colors in the app or allow us to download the file drop it into the app for use, so we won't have to screenshot the color and color pick them.

Acrobat does not have this built in. Normally, the table of contents is prepared at the same time as the document, perhaps in Word, which will use heading styles to do it automatically. Then this is converted to PDF. It is very unusual to do this work late with a PDF, I guess this is why it is not a core Acrobat feature.

Exporting correct Hex colors via scripting

Hello all,
I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph style via scripting.
I can get the fillColor property of the paragraph style, and can also convert CMYK to Hex. However, I do realize that the color values shown in InDesign are in whatever Color Space the document is using.
My question is, is there a native API to convert the color values to a web safe color value? If not, how do I go about mapping the colors?
Additionally, I see that Adobe internally knows how to convert it to a proper hex color (screenshot attached - note the color property in the Export Tagging pane). If I cannot use some native API, is there a way to access the text in that pane?
Thanks all, in advance!

@DerKäse (btw. funny name) – there is an add() method for colors that will take a Object Color as argument.
Use that for your purpose.
Here an example for RGB:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myColorName = "myNewRGBColor";
if(!myDoc.swatches.itemByName(myColorName).isValid){
    var myNewColor = myDoc.colors.add(
            name:myColorName,
            colorValue:[255,255,0], //A bright yellow
            model:ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space:ColorSpace.RGB
Here one for CMYK:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myColorName = "myNewCMYKColor";
if(!myDoc.swatches.itemByName(myColorName).isValid){
    var myNewColor = myDoc.colors.add(
            name:myColorName,
            colorValue:[0,0,100,0], //A bright yellow
            model:ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space:ColorSpace.CMYK
Hope, that helps…

Is there a way to change the default colors for iPad apps?

I noticed one of my friends iPad 2 had a different color scheme for apps and I would like to change my iPad 2's default ( which is currently grey). To elaborate, the default color for the borders and tabs in Safari are grey on my iPad, my friends are blue. Would like to change from the drab grey color to blue also but I cannot find a setting for this. All applications and Setup apps have this default color scheme on my ipad. Do I have to reset the iPad and start over with setup to achieve this? Hope not, perhaps someone can shed some light on an easy way to do this. Thank You!

You can apply system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

Gif images, pixels and hex colors

I'm not a java developer, though I at least have attempted to learn it. This may be a strange place to ask this question but java keeps coming up in my search so what the heck!
I am a highschool biology teacher-to-be and I am trying to design a lesson about DNA transcription and translation. I want the students to play a game where they take hex color codes (codons) and place a color card (amino acid) the hex code represents so that they build a big pixelated picture (the protein). I don't want to do the work of writing down the hex code for each and every pixel of the image, and was hoping there was some way to reveal as a list the hex color of each pixel in some sort of ordered fashion. I tried just dragging a gif file into a text program, but that didn't do it, ha!
Any ideas?
Thanks

ILife crayons seem not to match the html hex color codes?

anyone to confirm that apple did not care about matching html hex color conventions with its crayons. eg. honeydew crayon looks so much different from f0fff0

I don't think those crayons are used for Web accurate colors. They're just descriptive if you're not particular about a specific shade.

Please HELP! Hex Color Code MovieCLip

Hi!
How can i get the hex color code of a movieclip?
Thanks a lot!

To do it at runtime you can use something like the following, where mc representa whatever the instance name of your movieclip is...
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
bmd.draw(mc);
var pixelValue:uint = bmd.getPixel(1, 1); // specify a point where the color is
trace(pixelValue.toString(16)); // this outputs the hex color value

Hex colors not the same

I'm trying to change the background color of an xspf music player from black ( as in Roddy's tutorial ). I chose the Safe Hex colors, and wanted to try out a few to judge what they looked like.
However: whatever code I write in, I ONLY get black or various shades of blue.
Any ideas ?
Thanks, Kay.

Hallo Star-Fish, thanks for answering. This is the URL:
http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/Audio_4.html
I just checked on a Windows PC and the page is blank- not even a blue rectangle. In iWeb, it looks exactly the same as this page viewed on a mac; ie. the player hasn't properly established itself either.
I'll post my HTML code here too- perhaps you can spot the faults:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”400” height=”170” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF”
data=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”movie”
value=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#FFFFFF” />
</object>

Hex Color Element

Is there a way in RTF to use an XML element for a background color in cell? The element is in a Hex format. I am looking to have the Level Name cell background color equal to the Hex color referenced in Level_Color.
The XML file looks like this:
<G_RISKLEVELNAME>
<LEVEL_NAME>VH - H</LEVEL_NAME>
<LEVEL_COLOR>#FF0000</LEVEL_COLOR>
<G_RISKLEVELNAME>
<LEVEL_NAME>H - M</LEVEL_NAME>
<LEVEL_COLOR>#FFFF00</LEVEL_COLOR>
Thanks in advance

Can i change the text colors in the app store

Can i change the text colors in the App Store as i find it very difficult to read the grey text on a black background?

No, you cannot change.
The only thing you can change as a whole:
SETTINGS/GENERAL/ACCESSIBILTY/ turn on WHITE ON BLACK.
You can test to see if this one fits you. If not change it back.

Color sample outside app

In CS3 you could select the Eyedropper Tool and hover outside the app and then hit enter to get that color. I am pretty new to CS4 and that awesome trick isn't working. I'm even having problems sampling colors on the stage. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

I hadnt even noticed that.
I suppose it has to do with the new Adjustments-panel, so Im afraid one probably cannot change that. In the modal dialog in CS3 the readings would also only incorporate the layers up to the selected Adjustment Layer, so the new non-modal dialog necessitates that behaviour permanently, I guess.
You could deselect the Adjustment Layer by command-clicking it in the Layers-panel though.

How to change background color in iPhoto app?

Hi, I have spend 20 hours creating a large iPhoto Book on the IPad2 iPhoto app. I want to cahnge the background colour of everypage from white to black. Can this be done, and if so, how? Thank you.

I don't know much about iPhoto at all, but after a very brief look, it appears as though if you tap on the icon in the upper right part of the screen that looks like a page with the upper right corner turned down, the resulting window has a Background option with an arrow next to it. Tap the arrow and select black as the color in the next window.

Customizing ANSI Colors in Terminal.app

Has anyone figured out a way to customize the ANSI colors in the Leopard Terminal? The TCColorArray plist setting seems to be ignored.
I've even gone so far as to copy the Terminal.app from Tiger onto Leopard. Still no go, even Tiger's terminal is ignoring TCColorArray when running on Leopard (which I find very strange).
Could this be a termcap issue?

I can't apply a label color to some apps

I'm trying to organize my Applications folder into apps paid for to developers, paid for via the MAS, freeware, and other designations. When I highlight some apps, the label feature is grayed out and I'm unable to give these apps a label color. I can't figure out what's common among these as some apps purchased through the MAS accept the label while otheres don't. Same with other apps. It's totally random to me and totally capricious.
Can anyone suggest how to highlight any app with a color? I'd even use Terminal if that's the way to go.
I'm using Lion 10.7.2.
Thanks!

@tod- I actually figured it out and it's a bit easier-
at the bottom of the Get Info screen, click on the tool icon with the down arrow and hit 'Apply to enclosed items' and it works.
Im starting from scratch since my computer keep crashing so I re-downloaded and installed Lion. Now all of my applications are asking for serial numbers. it's weird since my old user shows up but the machine boots up as a new user and will not open the old applications..dgoing to open this in a new thread but thought I'd try my luck here.
thx
