How can I change Dreamweaver editor backgrounds in CS5.5

I've recently upgraded from DW8 and have two small problems with the user interface.
1) I can't easily read the inactive document tabs on the documents bar (or whatever it is called) because the text is black and the background is dark gray.  Is there a way round this?
2) In various HTML documents I've got library items for navigation bars where the links are white or #ffffcc.  Dreamweaver marks the library by using a #ffffcc background so they become unreadable in design view.  (Actually it used to do this in Dreamweaver MX and I was so glad it was sorted in DW8).  I've tried changing preferences HTML... Library but this only seems to affect code view.   Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

Disable CSS rendering.  View > Style Rendering > un-tick Display Styles.
Or use a Design Time Style Sheet and change your link colors to something darker.

  • How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8? (changed when I loaded trial Elements 11.)

    How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8?   When I downloaded a trial version of Elements 11, my default changed to version 11.  I use Adobe Lightroom, and when I switch over to Elements using "Edit In", it automatically open Elements 11 now.

      In Lightroom Library prefs link to the PSE8 editor app, usually found on the Mac in support files. This example is for PSE10.

  • How can I change the sms background colour?

    just upgraded to IOS7 on my Iphon 4s...don't like the over-bright white background on sms....how can I change the background colour for text messaging?

    There is no option to change the background color in the  messages app, other than selecting settings>general>accessibility>invert colors, but this changes the colors of everything.

  • How can I change the back background?

    Look at my website: www.iphoneappguru.com . I need to change the green background on my page, how can i do that?
    Thanks!

    You won't really be able to because you have used the Fine Line theme in iWeb.  This is a fixed width template that uses images and the green image that you want to change is part of the footer.
    What you can do is reduce the footer to 0 and the green disappears.
    Your other option is to cover the footer area with a text box that is colour filled with the colour that you want.  So create your text box and fill it with whatever colour you want and to get it down to the footer section you need to drag and drop whilst holding down the command key so you can then drag it in to the footer section.  Ensure that the height and width are correct and you will then have covered the footer with a colour filled text box using the colour of your choice.
    My other suggestion would be not to use this theme to start with.  It is not very good with the colours that you have going on your site and the blue, green and orange seem to clash rather than go together.
    Why not consider changing your template to a blank white one?  If you do this you can alter the widths of your site and you can also use whatever colours that you want.  Just don't think that the Fine Line template is right for what you have created.

  • How can I change a white background in a .mov to transparent?

    Someone has sent me a .mov that I need to use in a project, but unfortunately the video has a white background and I need it to be transparent. How would I go about doing this using CS5? Thanks.

    Depends on the rest of the content. If the forground items do not contain to many bright colors, a simple extraction based on lightness e.g. based on the Shift Channels effect, followed by Invert and Levels adjustments would give the cleanest results. Other than that try the various keying tools (Luma Key, Color Key, Color Difference Key), but don't use Keylight. And of course you can always try Rotobrush in CS5...

  • How can I change the location of my CS5.5 download?

    Hi,
    I am getting error 101 i.e. not enough space.  I want to change my downlaod location to default.  How can I do that.  I even uninstalled the product and tried reloading but it goes to the same location and doesn't ask for new location to download.

    It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive.  The data is initially stored in the following locations:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    Windows 7 and Vista:  C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

  • How can i change my Browser background image size in Iweb???

    Hello,
    I am trying to upload a picture to use in iweb as browser background which will be fixed.
    The problem is that when i upload the image it doesn’t appear in full. It zooms in a portion of the image.
    This is really annoying and have been trying to change it for days.
    Have a look and it might give you a better idea http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you. A

    I really do not know what resizing the browser windows means.
    Perhaps I must go back to school again.
    Ah, I remember. Drag the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window to resize it.
    Anyway, here's the widget page :
    http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com/InThePocketDrumStudio_files/widget0_markup. html
    You should move the image out of the InThePocketDrumStudio_files folder.
    With the code i provided the image will display in the webpage.
    Also remove the image as background in iWeb.

  • How can I change the title backgrounds in a project from a converted movie trailer theme?

    I converted a movie trailer theme (action) to a movie. The title backgrounds are all red but I like the effects. I would like the background color to be blue. Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately I tried doing a swap with a color background and it looks like it doesn't let you just drag a replacement background in. So the best you can expect is to drag a color background from the Map tool browser (it has a globe icon on it) and drag it next to the background you want to use, set the duration to be the same length. Drag the tite block to the new color background clip. Then delete the background from the original Movie trailer version.

  • How can I change the black background around my photos in iMovie?

    I hope you geniuses can help me with this. I am making a slide show in iMovie, but any portrait style photo has a wide black background. I've spent far too many hours trying to fix it (calling Apple Support etc.) but I'm still stumped.
    One thought-- if I could convert my jpgs to a video file I could layer them because I movie allows you to layer video files over backgrounds.
    Any ideas for me? Much appreciated. Michelle

    Why not use one of the many graphic editing programs that are available (some are free) to create a new image with the desired background and aspect ratio with your portrait image in the middle?

    P.S. Actually the best results would be to use Aperture but that's another 80 bucks.

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • How can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?

    1. how can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?
    2. how can I edit visual bookmark on the beginning page?

    This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
    One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • How can I change the color of interactive image label box background.

    Interactive image labels are a bit overwhelming in appearance. Can I change the label background color or make it partially transparent? I have tried several things and looked this up on Lynda.com training but no info.

    don't know how much this might help but you can change some colors using the Inspector as follows:
    from the text menu you can control paragraph and character colors, from the text menu you can control the text color.
    hope this helps...

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.
