How can I turn on the high contrast theme without the Windows Desktop being set to high contrast?

Firefox 4.0 broke one of the best accessability addons that existed, AnyColor. Now I'm stuck with the closest I can get to it, a non-customizable theme which gets some things right but other things wrong.
Naturally, I'd like to make my browsing as comfortable as possible to my low-vision eyes. I thought that the reported "high contrast" Firefox theme might help. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to turn this on is to turn on high contrast themes in Windows-- and I have adjusted my Desktop so that I don't need them. Unfortunately that would seem to be the only way to get it in Firefox.
Is there a secret way to force high contrast themes? The best solution for low-vision users, of course, would be to officially support AnyColor, or an addon like it.
As an interim solution I'm using Purple Fox, which at least has the feature of being light text on a black background, and has visible tab close boxes; but it has fuzzy edges and twiddly graphics all over the place. It's not bad, it's just not really good. But having tried all of the themes with the word "dark" or "black" in the descriptions, it may be the closest to a working LV theme.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

NoSquint is certainly a nice AddOn, which does something helpful; but it doesn't enable high contrast themes, which is what the question was about.
I have gone back to 3.6.16 in the meantime. I can continue to use AnyColor that way. The 4.0 upgrade seems to have more disadvantages than advantages.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • How can i download  OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store?

    ow can i download  OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store ?

    You don't. For a while, Apple sold 10.7 usb sticks, but they don't now. See if you can find one of them lying around. Otherwise, the mac app store is your only option. (P.S. To even get 10.7, you have to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and buy a download code. Lion is not availible on the app store without a code).

  • I have many of those lost photos on my iPod.  How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

    I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device.  I have many of those photos on my iPod.  How can I import those
    photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
    import from that iPod?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

    The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos.  So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
    In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

  • How can I save a a cut-out pic without the white background?

    This may seem like a stupid question, but when I cut-out an image (jpg), and then go to save it, it saves with the background of the pic in white. How can I save it without a background at all so that I can use it in another program like Power Point???

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know jpg. files don't support the transparent background, but guessed that it was going to be something like that.
    Thanks so much for the info and your help!

    Hi SijinK,

    When I try to run my CAN application on a system on which NI-CAN s/w is not installed. It gives the error
    "Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)" [error message is attached]. I included all the NI-CAN DLL's[list got using the Depends utility] under my application setup [built using InstallShield V10.0]. It copies the DLL's to the C:\winnt\system32 directory.
    Am I missing any step like registering the DLL's, etc.
    Can you/anyone please help ...
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I generate my own InDesign ePub file without the encryption.xml file?

    My bookstore (B&N) will not accept my ePub file because it doesn't want the file encryption.xml included. How can I generate an InDesign ePub file, for my own books, without it? Is there a check box somewhere? I've searched through the ePub export box and the file info boxes—no luck.
    Error message from B&N's PubIt.com:
    We have found a file name called encryption.xml within your ePub file container, which means that part of, or all of, your file is encrypted. We do not accept any encryptions within ePub source files. Upon closing this message, please remove the encryption.xml file from your ePub, and you may attempt to upload your ePub file again.
    If you wish to apply DRM to your title, go to Section 4, question H and select Yes. PubIt! will apply DRM to your title after you have uploaded your ePub file without encryption.
    Thanks for your help…

    Unfortunately you will find the option to uncheck "Embeddable Fonts" within ID CC 2014 only if you are creating an ePub with reflowable layout, but not if you are creating a "fixed layout" ePub.
    I went with the suggestion of the eCanCrusher and was pleasantly surprised how easy to use this free tool is. You basically just drag your ePub over the icon of the App and it creates a folder in which you find the encryption.xml within the META-INF folder. Once you erased it you drag the folder over the icon of the App and through this you will get a new encryption-free ePub which now passes iTunes Connect Book Proofer test.
    But then - opening the ePub without it's encryption within iBooks (on ipad) the text has moved, spaces between words are gone for no reason, words are even sticking into each other - it looks unacceptable! It does look OK on the iBook desktop app, however.
    My solution was to change the font from Myriad to Verdana. I had changed the fonts before, because - whatever font I had used - it's reproduction on the ipad was messed up, and Myriad was the first one that I tried that looked alright, though, not so much after removing the encryption.xml. Unfortunately everything changes when you change fonts within a fixed layout ePub and all line breaks have to be revised now...
    I also tried to remove the embedded fonts from inside the ePub, like someone else suggested, but that didn't help with the Book Proofer. It's really the encryption.xml that needs to be removed.
    I wish that I now finally can submit successfully to Apple and wish that Adobe would have a better relationship with Apple to solve issues like that.

  • How can I activate Educational Individual Use Only CS6 without the order number?

    I was given CS6 as a gift and do no have the order number needed to activate it as it was a gift and as it is a educational Individual use only I don't know how else i can install and activate it.

    The "Sim Free" iPhones, sold in the UK, will lock to the first UK carrier whose sim is inserted in the phone. They will not acticate or work with any other carrier, other than a UK carrier.
    Return it for a refund as it will be useles to you where you live. You won't be able to activate it or get it officially unlocked. You'd first have to activate it in the UK & then regust the UK carrier to authorize the phone's official unlocking.

  • How can I do a clean install of Leopard without the DVD?

    My macbook pro is running very slowly and keeps popping up with a notification that the startup disk is full.  I'd like to do a clean install but do not have the DVD.  Is there a way for me to do a clean install without this disk? If not, is there an easy way to wipe the HD to speed things up?

    You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a small fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
    However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.

  • How can I reformat my MBP's hard drive without the Install Disk?

    My MacBook Pro got a virus, and I need to reformat my computer without the Install Disk (I don't have it anymore).
    Is it possible to fix it?

    you don't have a virus.
    your best antivirus is already installed in your Macbook.  It's called OS X Lion. (fully updated).
    do not install any memory resident antivirus in your computer.  Especially anything made by Norton or Mackeeper.
    download and install ClamX AV a non memory resident anti virus and scan your macbook once a week.
    since you're running Lion, you can create a Lion Recovery Disk Assitant in a USB Thumb Drive.  Click here. for more info.

  • How can I reset my imac to factory settings without the ilife cd?

    I have an iMac that I bought in 2006. I recently purchased a macbook pro for college, so I thought it would be nice to give my old iMac to some family friends. However, I don't want them to have all of my information that's still on the computer. I have already backed up all of the files that I need, so I'm prepared to erase the hard drive. I've been reading online that you need certain things to do so: startup dvds and ilife dvd/cd/whatever. I have the first, but not the second. Is there a way to erase the HD without the ilife? Can I use a newer ilife dvd? Or is there an easier way to do all of this??

    Hi Jacob: There is no requirement of the iLife DVD to wipe the computer. If you have the original install DVD, that is all you need.
