How do I change Fonts or manipulate text I am writing on Firefox? Is there a toolbar, or extension I can get to have easy access to these type of tools?
When writing comments or sending messages,etc., I would like to be able to have access to text options such as; bold, underline, change font, font size,color, etc. I've seen others do this but cannot find anything on my desktop to allow me these write tools.
Orange Firefox button>Options>Options>Security, Privacy etc.
If the Firefox button isn't showing - right click on a toolbar space and uncheck the Menu Bar, this will reveal the Firefox button and you can toggle from one to the other.
Or, in the Menu Bar>Tools>Options.

How do I change fonts in a Text field ??
Okay I've tried to implement a JComboBox that allows the user to change fonts in the text field. So far I've tried different methods to do it but to no avail. Could somebodoy here read the programs source code for me and tell me where I went wrong?

How do I change the color of text in Messages?
How do I change the color of text in Messages? It was easy to do before, but I can't seem to find it after the upgrade.. is it a hidden menu option? The gray text is really annoying.
Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

You will need the web browser Firefox installed
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-6.0.2&os=osx&lang=en-US
Next you will need to add the following addons
Theme Font & Size Changer
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
NoSquint
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Theme Font & Size Changer can adjust the size of the type Firefox uses in the toolbar area.
NoSquint remembers per site web page zoom levels and you can set a minimum size for all web pages so any site you visit is made bigger automatically. Safari doesn't do this.
You can see the difference between Firefox and Safari in this picture.
Note: Firefox is highly customizable browser, and I added the green with the yellow type, you won't see that when you first start using it.
It did that to match my desktop picture, grey is depresssing. -
how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading, all fonts are grey, instead of black, and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible? And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade? I no longer have column headings and I'd like them. Thank you.
Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
Perhaps someone else will have an idea. -
How do I change font size on the safari tool bar
How do I change font size on the safari tool bar
You can't in Safari.
However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
(note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway. -

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,
CAdd another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?
Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed. -
How do I change font inside the Form's text fields
I went through tutorials on lynda.com and succesfuly layed out my form.
However I can not figure out how to make a change from a default Times Roman in the forms fields to a different typeface.
I assigned object styles, followed by paragraph styles but nothing happens. I also can not change font color inside the text fields.
Anyone knows how to change these attributes?There are literally hundreds and thousands of improvements or changes that could be made to InDesign.
Your comments here won't get to the product manager who decides which of those to implement in the next version. This is a forum of users like you, but if you post at the link below and make a good case, you'll have a better chance of getting what you want:
