How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

    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.

    Hello,
    Here is the problematic:
    1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
    - I've many button in a doc im creating
    - the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
    - in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
    - currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
    - i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
    My other questions:
    2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
    - i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
    - the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
    - the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
    a) by it self after "40" seconds
    b) when ther viewer clicks another button
    3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
    - "go to page xxx"
    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
    - what should i do?
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online? 
    Thank you for your time.
    You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

  • In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a negative number to red,  during the period the number is negative.    Thanks,

    Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a number to RED when it  comes up negative.  (only during the time that it's negative)  Thanks,  ( I hope I did this right!!) 

    The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
    The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

  • In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    Well, it might depend on the nationality of your keyboard, but on my US keyboard, the tilde ("squiggle") is above the TAB key; on a Mac, ⌘-TAB cycles through the active applications and ⌘-tilde cycles through the windows in the front application.
    When you do a Find, Pages selects an instance of your search text (the next one after the current selection, I think, but I didn't check that). It doesn't make the document window the front window, though. If you click in the window to bring it to the front, it moves the selection (or insertion point) to wherever you click unless you click on or above the ruler. Try clicking at the top of the document window after you do a find; say somewhere near the document name. Now you should see the highlighted selection (your search text). If you click back on the Find window, the selection will go grey again, unless you hold ⌘ down while clicking.

  • How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

    The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

  • How can I change the color of a box in book layout?

    I am try to change the color of a photo box when making a book.
    Will the box print? and if so how can I change the color
    Thank you
    Mark

    The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

  • How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

    How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
    I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.

    Thanks a lot

    To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
    To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
    To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
    This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
    One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
    If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

  • How can I change the color in this "pieces"

    Hello guys, I'm new in the forum and I'm searching for help.
    I'm using a free template that I downloaded from
    the internet but I'm having a small problem.
    When I put the logo that I want use in the template, the color is not the original one,
    after some minutes trying to discover how I could change it to the original version of the logo, I found an option on "fill" with a color that I could change..
    the problem is that when I change the color, all the logo changes in the same time, so I created 2 logos.. one of then only with the dark color and the other with the red color
    so with this method I could change both colors on this "fill" option and all would be okai.
    the problem is that both of the logos are changing in the same time.
    I need to change the X to RED and the Moto to Black
    Another problem that I have is : the little pieces of the logo that come all togheter, they are all black.. and i need to change it to the right color.
    cause the text are in one color and the pieces are all black.

    I did it, but i saw that Fill effect is a little "Shadow" behing the text... just for a small white line... I'm almost done with this intro, now I'm trying to find out how can I change the color from the X and MOTO
    cause when I change the color, both changes, and this can't happen.
    I need the X red and the Moto dark...
    I made 2 compositions ... one with just the X  X red.. and another with just Moto in dark color... but I don't know how to put this 2 compositions in 1 composition.

    Hi ys,
    You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
    Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

    Barry
