How do I change the contrast between foreground and background in CS4 workspace menus?

Everyone at my agency who has upgraded from CS3 to CS4 is dismayed to discover that they can not read any tabs on the workspace except the highlighted one. The foreground and background colors are simply too close together for anyone who doesn't have very good eyesight to use 8 hours a day, and if you have any form of color blindness, just forget it. Is there any way to change the foreground and background colors in the workspace itself?

I don't believe it's possible.  It would be like altering the ribbon in Office 2007 to make it work like Office 2003. This is a built-in function and from the upcoming betas in the Labs it appears they are going to continue this trend.  Only thing I can really suggest you do is submit a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform .  Outside of that there is not much you can do.
One other thing has come to mind but it only works for the document area and not other menus.  Instead of opening documents in the tabs in one window you can click on Window at the top and choose Cascade to view each file in its own window and go back to Expose for fast-switching between windows.

  • 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 the spacing between lines in Pages 5.5.2?  Single spacing prints more like double spacing.

    In the Format panel under the Text Style tab, there is a ▸ Spacing category. Click it to open, and you will have a selector that defaults to Lines, and to the right, the ability to set your spacing in decimal values. In addition to Lines, you also have At Least, Exactly, and Between capability. You can even set exact line height  in points. Check that your Before Paragraph, and After Paragraph settings are correct for your needs.

  • How do I change the lable of next and previous button in GAF of FPM

    Hi Experts,
    How do I change the label of next and previous button in GAF application using FPM in each individual step?
    Thanks!

    Hello Anthony,
    as far as I am aware only the final step before the confirmation screen can be changed. Which you can do by clicking on it in the configuration view - click on the last but one step - and click on the next button - at the bottom of the screen you'll get a view where you can change the label of the step.
    There is some logic in this - in that it does make for a more consistent user experience across various apps.
    It's different to how we could do things in Java - but it's nice that there is a certain level of conformity across FPM apps.
    hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • Exchange Messages Between Foreground and Background Tasks

    I'm working on an Application where I use background task for handling Bluetooth communication. For that, I'm trying to exchange messages between foreground and background tasks when the Bluetooth device sends
    something and want to notify the foreground about it. Similarly, I want the foreground to send messages to background when the user activates something. I've started doing that using event handlers but it is not reliably working. Looks like the problem is
    coming from the synchronization between these two tasks. I found the class BackgroundMediaPlayer which does what I really want , except controlling the media player. What are the options of doings that?

    Hi Rob,
    Thank you for your reply. So in this case, I guess each process shall keep reading the file and see if there are commands to be processed. Is there a way to raise an event when the content of the file get changed? Are there existing file handling classes
    that support this?

  • New photoshop cc seems to have a bug wrt the toolbar's foreground and background squares.

    New photoshop cc seems to have a bug wrt the toolbar's foreground and background squares. When I pick a color to use as a fill the squares show gray and the fill is gray rather than the color picked. Never had a problem with this in previous version of PS. Could something be set up or initialized to cause this state of affairs?

    Change your document from Grayscale to RGB, or change the selected channel to the RGB data instead of a mask.

    I changed my Apple ID on my Mac through iTunes, but how do I change the Apple ID on my iphone and ipad? I have done a sync with the ipad, since the change and nothing changed. Thanks.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

  • How do you change the dpi in Illustrator and save as pdf?

    I've created a file in Illustrator cs4 that I need to change the 350 dpi of and to save as a pdf before having it sent out to be printed. I've found ways to change the ppi...but will that do the same thing as changing the dpi? Any advice would be much appreciated!

    This might explain it
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370714
    The device has the dpi not the file itself the file has a ppi resolution the screens are prepared in lpi.
    The above explains it the highest resolution I have ever been asked for was 350 ppi for offset printing 300ppi is normal.
    In other word you do not control the dpi as Steve mentions.

  • How do I change the spacing between letters of a FONT

    I have a Jpanel that I am writing TEXT on.
    I am using the graphics.drawChars(...) method, with a monospaced font.
    I would like to "Squeeze" the letters together, to get more letters per line.
    (still monospaced, just make them all 1 pixel closer to each other)
    I tried calling the drawChars method for each character, recalculating the
    x and y coordinates each time, but it is WAY TO SLOW.
    If I call drawChars with the whole string, it defaults to the normal spacing of the font.
    any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks
    Steve
    [email protected]

    It is also a VT emulator that I am working on.
    At first I was using DrawChar and updating a line at a time, but the customer does not
    like the font (the biggest that fits on the screen) so I am trying to FORCE a larger font
    onto the screen by squeezing the letters closer.
    As soon as I went to calling drawChar or drawString for each char, the performance
    dropped to unacceptable levels, since it is making 80 calls for each of the 24 lines,
    rather then just one per line.
    DrawChars calls DrawString, so the results from using them are the same.
    I created my own FontMetrics, and changed the Width methods,
    but the calls to drawString and drawChar seem to not use the font metrics.

  • How do I print the contrast between "filled" text and its surrounding "box"?

    Hi,
    Apologies in advance for any ambiguity or confusion . . .
    I am a self-taught Photoshop user who has come upon a problem to which I cannot find an answer, despite searching online for hours . . .
    When I design a project, it looks beautiful on screen . . . when I print it, however, it loses the definition between colors inside a font and the shape surrounding the font . . .
    To be more exact:
    I am working at 300 dpi . . .
    I create a rectangle and fill it with red.  I then write text inside of the rectangle and the font color is white.  Onscreen, it looks clear and well-defined.  When I print it, however, there is not clear definition between the font and its surrounding area . . . the colors seem to bleed into each other . . . I have tried using different paper (glossy, matte, etc.), have tried putting a narrow stroke around the text, etc., but nothing help to clearly define the difference between the text and its surrounding shape/color.
    It also does not matter the size of the font, although the larger the font, the easier it is to "see" the difference.  But a white font at 24 point looks no sharper than a white font at 8 pt.
    I am using an Epson XP-610 printer . . . it is a home deskjet and I mainly design for fun, but this "lack of sharpness" on the fonts is driving me crazy.  I would included a screenshot, but it would not help much, since the project looks beautiful and clear on the screen.
    The colors only seem "muddled" when  I print.  Any advice, or even a point in the direction of something I can read to help me understand what to do, would be helpful. . . . TIA!I

    Hullo Cheapster:
    I too am confident that this facility does not exist in relation to the underline function as such. Nor am I aware of a workaround that would let you access it straightforwardly for routine usage in body text. The underline facility, like the strikethrough, is provided because it is standard in some documentation which a wordprocessing might be expected to serve - but as such, it is provided in limited conventional formats. Otherwise, I agree, it is not ideal typography.
    However, for occasional use, there are two workarounds you might like to consider. One is to use the line drawing facility available through the insert menu (insert shape, choose line; then grab its handles to make it horizontal) or the same process initiated from the objects icon in the toolbar.
    Be aware, however, that the above could require further attention to your wrap options: you would need to deselect any wrap - but could still need to modify your line spacing options to avoid irregular line spacings with the rest of your text.
    Possibly simpler is to bear in mind that you can produce an underline without its text. To do this, select underline (Command / U) and type "non-breaking spaces" (option / space). This would allow you to place your underline on a separate line from your underlined text. You could do the same with the strikethrough function, which you access via the effects section in the font panel for closer spacing; or alter the line spacing where you need to do this.
    Either of the above would affect your surrounding text in a way that would make these methods unsuitable for incorporation into body text.
    However, if your interest in doing this relates to headlines or the like, one or other of these options might suit your purpose.
    Regards.
