How do I change animated space background of Restore to window in Mavericks

Hi, My wife just bought an iMac 21.5 with OS 10.9.2. She doesn't like animated images on screen, makes her woozy, so she wants to get rid of the animated space background that appears behind the pages displayed on the Restore to... menu item window. We can't find a preference for it.
Thanks, Craig

Craig ...
Open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop
Select a desktop image. (static) no animation.
Might want to reset the Change picture time from that pop up menu in the same Preferences window.

How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks?

How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks? plz help!!!

I just discovered this by mistake.
Select the picture you want as background, and in the Services menu (or contextual menu) choose "Set Desktop Picture". Then immediately switch into the Dashboard while this command is being processed.
I was trying to change my regular desktop but discovered this changed the Dashboard background instead. I presume it is because Dashboard is considered a Space and different Spaces can have different Desktops.

How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Similar question asked by TH received another response.
Here is the address of that question and answer:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
I like the solution recommended there.
Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

You can't (not in Keynote for iOS). The background color is a function of the template selected when you create the file initially and cannot be altered. the only workaround I know of is to add a graphic file to the slide and position it behind all other content, but this would need to be repeated on any slide you wish to "recolor".

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
Click OK
Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
Click OK
Click Change All

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista?
When I try ctrl alt delete, I get the blue windows log in sceen. How do I get past the log in screen to use the ctrl alt delete to change authorization for the adobe digital editions screen.

Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

How to block changes of desktop background image

I manage a 30-computer Mac lab in a public high school and I would like to prevent users from changing the desktop background image.
As far as I know, there are two ways to change the desktop background image: through System Preferences and by right-clicking an image and selecting Set Desktop Picture.
Blocking System Preferences is easily done through Parental Controls.
But how do I prevent the right-click, Set Desktop Picture method of changing the desktop image?
You can imagine the kinds of images that end up as desktop backgrounds in a high school computer lab.

You might try going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. In the left pane select Services, then uncheck the item "Set Desktop Picture" under Pictures in the right pane. Once that's done, block that prefs pane.

How do I change the blurred background image on the Select User Screen

I have changed the desktop image on all of my users, as well as the screen savers. However, when I logout of one user and the screen where you select another user comes up, there is an image on the background of this particular screen that I cannot figure out how to change.
This is crucial because I do not want to see my crazy, abusive ex-wife every time I select a different user...even if it is a blurred image.
This blurred out image does not appear anywhere else on any of the different user accounts as a background/desktop image.
How do I change this background image?
Please help.

This seems to be a bug that goes away w/ 10.10.1
Yosemite login screen possible bug
"if I put my Mac in sleep mode, when I wake up it, the password request screen uses the default Yosemite wallpaper in blurred mode instead of the wallpaper I have chosen for my desktop."
or maybe not:
"And it still happens after the 10.10.1 update."
This seems to work.
"The only way I was able to fix this problem was to go Mission Control and close all extra desktops I was using except Desktop 1 (which you cannot delete if it is the last one). After deleting the extra desktops besides Desktop 1, I went into preferences and set my wallpaper. Once I complete both of these steps I returned to the login screen. The wallpaper I used for Desktop 1 was now my background for the login screen. Hope this helps."

How do I change the terrible background graphic behind the toolbars?

Having a dark, visually annoying and distracting background graphic at the top of the browser window is difficult for me to understand. I have used Firefox since the beginning, but have used it only occasionally since the dark background graphic made its appearance. The browser functionality is great, but I need a plain, neutral or simple background graphic at the top, to not visually compete with what I am looking at in the browser. ''How can I change this? ''

Sounds that you installed a Persona.
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See:

How to change fonts and background in a finder window?

I have searched all over the system (10.5.4) and can't figure out how to change the font that displays the text in any finder window.
I know you used to be able to change the background of any finder window too.
I must be getting old!
Any ideas?

I don't think you can change the typeface (at least not with 3rd party hackies such as what Unsanity offers), but you can change the typeface size. With the Finder active click Cmd-J (View->Show View Options) and choose a different font size.
Hope this helps

How do I change a black background to red in Aperture?

Hello!
I'm a little familiar with Aperture, but have recently encountered something I'm not sure how to do!
Using a long shutter speed and a light I took a picture of some floating words. I would like to change the black background to red without changing the white words. is Aperture capable of doing this? Any tips on how?

Aperture is not the tool for this. Aperture is designed to provide a photographer a non-destructive RAW workflow: you import files created by digital cameras, organize, store, and develop them into the best photographic images they can be, and then print them or create share-able files from them.
What you want to do goes beyond this general remit. It is more properly in the realm of graphics programs, which start with graphics files and change them and combine them to make new graphics files.
Any modern graphics program will allow you to easily do what you want. (You can probably do it in OS X's Preview app.)
