How can I regain 10.8.5 coloring of icon names?

I've spent years organising files and folders visually based on colors--used against specifically chosen (contrasting) backgrounds. Within specific folders I had been using colors to group certain files, and by using different colors for different groups, to distinguish those groups from one another.
Now, with mavericks, all you get is a tiny colored dot, which is completely inadequate visually, and it also lengthens and therefore messes up some file & folder names.
Also, when considering how to deal with this new "feature", it seems that it cannot be turned off..., that I'm stuck with this now useless placeholder at the beginning of any previously marked file/folder name.
If it's possible to turn off these new tags, or to remove them by adding a null tag, I'd really appreciate knowing how to do so.
Thanks,
John D.
PS--I've rewritten this several times trying to take the venom and anger out, and I think it now looks okay. But believe me, it's very much there. In term of my personal and perhaps unique way of organizing files, these new tags are a real kick in the teeth.

Labels are gone. You can hate it but I don't think it will change.
Send feedback to Apple. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
If you go in and delete a tag, it will remove it from all filed and folders tagged. You can delete it by right-clicking on the tag in the sidebar.

How can I create a Tree with Color Picker icons?

I'm a newbie to Flex. I want to create a tree which has color
picker icons.
As an analogy for the Mac users out there, I envision a
control like the Calendars section in iCal, where you can specify
the color for each individual node. These colors are then used in
other parts of the application.
The Flex 3 documentation specifies four methods for setting
node icons on a Tree control, none of which seems to suit my needs:
-The folderOpenIcon, folderClosedIcon, and defaultLeafIcon
properties
-Data provider node icon fields
-The setItemIcon() method
-The iconFunction property
In other words, I want to "setItemIcon" to an mx:ColorPicker,
if that makes any sense.
Is there a standard way of doing this? If not, how can I go
about implementing such a control? Thanks in advance!

well, Network UI should be used.

How can I create an alt background color for items in a jlistbox or jtree

What I'm looking to do is have a white background for say items 1,3,5, etc. and a light yellow background for items 2,4,6, etc. I was wondering how can I set an alternative background color on items in a JTree or a JList

Use a cell renderer:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ListAlternating extends JFrame
     public ListAlternating()
          String[] items = {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven"};
          JList list = new JList( items );
          list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
          list.setCellRenderer( new MyCellRenderer() );
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( list );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          ListAlternating frame = new ListAlternating();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible( true );
     class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer
          public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
               JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
               super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
               if (!isSelected)
                    setBackground(index % 2 == 0 ? list.getBackground() : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
               return this;
}

How can I regain access to a MAC account? -- Macbook Pro?

Situation: My wife has a 13" Mac Book Pro, that we received in May 2011.
OS: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (not sure which version it came with -- 10.6?)
My wife's computer had two administrative accounts. She uses one regularly, and the other is the 'primary' account for downloading updates and such.
She was unable to figure out how to use Time Machine or any of the other backup software and the like.
Yesterday, she updated to OS X Lion, and found that a number of the programs that she enjoys using no longer function.
She wanted to roll-back to Snow Leopard. After transferring the majority of the 'must-save' files, she put in the install disk again for snow leopard. This allowed her to start fresh, however, she wants to regain access to those old accounts. She tried, but, none of the passwords work anymore. We know what the passwords are; but, they are not working.
Our ATTEMPTED solution: She found a site "http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-7339… This site told her to do something in the boot terminal that allowed her to add a new administrative account.
She tried going into that new admin account and changing the passwords to the other accounts; no joy. She changes them, but, they are not retained when she logs off or restarts.
How can she regain access to her old files?

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

What is the image mode? Image > Mode - should be set to RGB
Do you have a B&W adjustment layer above the Type layer?
If you are not sure, it would help if you upload a screen grab of your entire workspace with the Layers and History panels visible. Keep it at full resolution please.

How can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.
