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 to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?

Hello all,
I am just starting to study the sdk (Mac CC). Currently, I am seeking the answer to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?
Is it possible to do so? In addition, will the Image Mode such as RGB, CYMK or Grayscale be effecting such solution?
Thanks in advance.

These are NOT dropdown menus. They are dropdown LISTS.

And from the links in the Google search you can learn that a list item has no style.
And a dropdown list behaves differently from dropdown menus. Here's how it looks on Mobile Safari :

Changing font and background

How can i change the font and the background of the Total row in the report?

Hi Cindy,
I'm not sure how effective a solution this will be, but you could try:UIManager.put("TextField.background", Color.BLACK); // Default text field background becomes blackThere are many more defaults you'd have to change and could probably achieve it more reliably and simply by creating or editing the properties file that controls the way the look and feel (even if it's the default) is implemented. Take a look at:

How to change font and font size of textarea item

hi -- I have several form pages which for the most part have text items. However, I do
have a few textarea items, and the font and font size of these are defaulting to
something different than the text items.
How can I change the font and font size of the textarea items, preferably in such a
way that it will apply to all textarea items in my app?
(And, to take a step back, where can I find the font and size definitions for these
items? I assume it's in the CSS (??) but don't really know what to look for.)
Thanks,
Carol

>
I do have one last thing I'd like to get resolved, if possible. Both the text and textarea items are
width 100 and height 1, but the textarea is a bit wider and taller than the text item. If possible,
I'd like to get at least the widths to match exactly, for aesthetics. (There was a much larger
discrepancy before the size and fonts matched...) Maybe it's just a characteristic of textareas
that they have that extra bit of width and height... I don't know
>
If you look at the generated HTML source you'll see that the APEX width value ends up in 2 different attributes: size for the text field and cols for the textarea. How each of these is transformed into the dimension used to render the control obviously differs, and how either is used will also differ across browsers and platforms. Where you want control over this the best idea appears to be to ignore the width value (APEX lets you blank this out, but resets it to 30 if the definition is subsequently edited) and explicitly set the width property in CSS, as I've now done on your example using HTML Form Element Attributes. This could also be done in a style sheet using the APEX-generated item IDs (P1_TEXT etc) as selectors.
The APEX height value is only applied to the textarea rows attribute: it has no effect on the text field. Again, how this works will be implementation-specific and is better handled explicity using CSS. (Anyway I'm doubtful about a 1 row high textarea? It doesn't affect the ability to enter more than 1 line of text. Looks confusing.)
cols and rows are required attributes for textareas, so APEX has to generate the attributes, but we're better off specifying width and height in CSS to override the browser's computed rendering.
(This is the first time I've put an app on apex.oracle.com... so hopefully it'll be smooth sailing for you.)Apart from not noticing that the region was cached and wondering why my changes weren't having any effect? Thought I was losing it... ;-)

Changing font and background color for all components

Hi,
This is my first time writing a GUI, and I'm pretty new to Swing and Java. I just recently switched from C++, and so far Java seems to be doing a nice job =)
Currently I have a gazilion components (textfields, labels, panels) and I'm wondering if there is a way to change their background/foreground colours without adding in setBackground/setForeground for every single component.
I've done some researching onto using Look and Feel, but there aren't any current ones that suits my needs. And everyone seems to mention that programming your own is pretty complicated.
My boss wants a slick white text on black background interface, so you can imagine that he's not very impressed with the current default greyish colours =)
Thank you for any help!
Cindy

How to change Cover Flow background color in finder?

I realize that there's (as far as I can tell) no way to do this via the GUI, I'd welcome any more creative suggestions too.
My wife uses software called TruEmbroidery to create and edit designs for her sewing machine. She likes to use the cover flow view to browse her files - BUT many designs' "previews" consist largely of dark colors and alpha (transparency). Hence, the dark default background of cover flow makes them hard to discern.
Is there any way - however creative - to change it? I found this terminal command (below) on another forum, but it doesn't seem to work in Mountain Lion.
defaults write com.apple.Finder IKImageFlowBackgroundColor 255,255,255

sorry could not get the alternative to execute either, so I removed it.

How do I change font and colors back to default?

I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

Hi Brenda19605,
You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
The default settings for the font are in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
Let me know if you need anymore help!

Dear Experts,

These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

How to change fonts in iCal?

How to change fonts in iCal? I can't harly read my calendar-tiny print size. How could I change the font size?

Your question really got me thinking. Actually, I don't think you should feel like an idiot at all. I think it is Apples failure that they made this difficult. Seriously, who would ever think to press Command and arrow to switch months? The little arrows next to the word Today are so small and inconspicuous that I remember having this very same question when I started using iCal too.
So, here is what I did to make it easier for my wife that uses iCal too.
Open System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts Tab, and finally Application Shortcuts.
Click on the Plus symbol under the right hand pane.
Select iCal from the Application list
Add two shortcuts: One named Next and the other named Previous and press your desired Keyboard Shortcut.
I assigned the left arrow and right arrow for these tasks.
Now it makes more sence for someone that is not used to Apples idotic way of doing things. ;-)
I use keyboard shortcuts all over the place. Actually, sometimes it gets me into trouble when I use someone elses computer and my shortcuts don't work. I blame their computer for it and forget it was my "tuning".

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.
