How do I change the text color of desktop icons in OS X Yosemite?

I have a lighter background for my finder and keep many icons on it. Due to the lighter background, I need to adjust the text color of the icon to a darker color. I can't locate where to adjust from the default (white) to a grey.

Thank you for your response. My icons are difficult to read on a light background. Are there any third party modifications available? TinkerTool does not have this capability.
I do not know of any 3rd party apps to do the mod currently.
You can change the background pic or modify the original BG by underexposing it for better contrast.

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

How do I change the "gray" color selection for icons in Finder to brown?

Is there a way to change the selection of colors offered by the dropdown File menu for desktop and folder icons? I use a lot of color coding for the files and folders in my windows, and gray just looks like "dimmed out" to me.
I know how to get the color wheel in Microsoft Word (or the crayolas, or whatever). Is there a way to do that for Finder as well, without a lot of technical talk (ranges, percentages, etc.) that I can't understand? Thanks for any help out there!

Grey is not the only color showing up.
If you want more colors other than the ones found in Finder, you will need to use a 3rd party product. Something like CandyBar will do the trick or download colorful folders and icons. These softwares can be found on MacUpdate and by doing a Google search.

Hi,
I am looking for nearly the same. What I have found is that it seems to manipulate the SAP theme that is used in standard when template is executed in the portal. Just display the source code of the HTML and there you will see the included SAP theme (normally SAP_TRADESHOW). Then you have to go to the SAP portal and change this stuff. But for that you have to know where to find it and what impact this change has.
I am not pretty sure if this is the right way. But as I want to change the standard layout of a whole template to a customer specific layout I think there is no other way in BI7.0.
Regards,
Peter

hi,
as i mentioned, you would require to use a custom renderer for this, for this
//Class subclass the JFrame and has a JList in it
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Vector;
public class ListRendererTest extends JFrame
     private JList lstMenu;
     private DefaultListModel defaultListModel;
     private JScrollPane scrollPane;
     private Vector listVector;
     public ListRendererTest()
          init();
          addComponents();
          showFrame();
     public void init()
          lstMenu = new JList();
          defaultListModel= new DefaultListModel();
          lstMenu.setModel(defaultListModel);
          scrollPane      = new JScrollPane(lstMenu);
          listVector = new Vector();
          MyListData m1 = new MyListData();
          m1.setName("Rakesh");
          m1.setOnline(false);
          listVector.addElement(m1);
          m1 = new MyListData();   //represents each User instance
          m1.setName("Makesh");
          m1.setOnline(true);
          listVector.addElement(m1);
          for (int i=0;i < listVector.size(); i++)
               defaultListModel.addElement(((MyListData)listVector.elementAt(i)));
          lstMenu.setCellRenderer(new MyListRenderer()); //set custom renderer
     public void addComponents()
          getContentPane().add(scrollPane,BorderLayout.CENTER);
     public void showFrame()
          setTitle("List renderer test");
          setSize(300,300);
          setLocation(200,200);
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String args[])
          new ListRendererTest();
}The above class is the Container which houses the JList in it, it uses two other classes, MyListData which is used to represent each user instance ( username, and information about whether he is online) and MyListRenderer (custom renderer).
// Represents each user instance //
public class MyListData
     private String name;
     private boolean online;
     public void setName(String name)
          this.name = name;
     public String getName()
          return name;
     public void setOnline(boolean online)
          this.online = online;
     public boolean isOnline()
          return online;
//custom list renderer
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MyListRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer
     private MyListData myListData;
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
           myListData = (MyListData)value;
           setText(myListData.getName());
           setBackground(myListData.isOnline() ? Color.red: Color.white); //check if online, if so show in different color
           setForeground(isSelected ? Color.blue : Color.black);
           return this;
}hope that helps.

How can I change the background color in the inbox?

Themes work in Thunderbird - duggabe was not refering to Firefox.
Another useful addon is theme and font changer:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
However, Thunderbird allows you to modify all sorts of things.
Make hidden files and folders visible:

Help > Troubleshooting Information
Click on 'show Folder' button
a window opens shwoing profile folder name
Close Thunderbird now - this is important
In the profile name folder, Create a new folder called '''chrome''' - note the spelling
It should be in the same place as the 'Mail' folder.
see first image below.
Open Notepad
Can be located : Start > Programs > accessories
Copy everything shown between the lines below.
Paste into Notepad.
Save as '''userChrome.css''' - note the spelling (edit updated - this was a typo error)
This should be saved in the '''chrome''' folder.

Restart Thunderbird.
I have chosen a yellow for you
<pre>
#f6f58c = a yellow....it is a hex code for a colour.

You can change it if required. Remember when updating anything in the profile folders, you must close Thunderbird first.

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.
