How to make Illustrator remember color settings?

Hello!
The quick color selector in the main toolbar (fill and stroke) always resets their thumbnail sizes whenever I quit Illustrator.
I use a 27" monitor and prefer large thumbnails in my fill and stroke palette in the toolbar - but is there no way to make Illustrator "save" the settings when I change it to large thumbnails?

Can't help you but just to confirm that this is the case (I'm using CS5 Win7). No way to make Illustrator remember the settings - they programmed it as bad as it is and I don't think there is a way at least using the UI.
You can use this link to post a feature request http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator/illustrator_feature_requests although I think this can be considered as a bug.
by the way, it is called the Control panel which by default is the horizontal bar under the main menu - the Toolbar is the vertical bar with tools on the left side.
Alternatively meanwhile you can increase the size of the swatches in the Swatches panel which luckily Illustrator remembers.

How can I set Illustrator CS5 color settings using Javascript?

I can set Photoshop color settings with the app.colorsettings ('File') in javascript, but I cannot locate an object in Illustrator that would perform the same task. I can only find readonly objects for illustrator. I would like to have illustrator read a script file to set the color setting
upon startup.
Thanks

Hi imagecollection, that was kind of true in 2010, color mode was possible to be changed via Actions and vbs or as
Re: Change color space
with CS6 or newer it is more straight forward since js can play actions, and even easier using executeMenuCommand...however I'm not sure if the OP needs to change color mode or if he wants to load color profiles.

How to permanently save the color settings in terminal.app

Hi,
I have configured the "ls" command in the terminal.app to give colored outputs. However, I realised that for some reason the color-set used is designed for a light-colored background. When I use "white on black", the default blue color of the directories is almost invisible.
Of course, I can change this to another color, but this problem is true for all "blue" fonts, so for example, the default color for comments in vim is also blue and thus unreadable with black background.
This is not a problem when I use the xterm in X11. The color set there is much lighter and is perfect for a black backgound.
By drag-and-drop method (drag the chosen color on top of the directory texts in terminal), I am able to alter the blue color to a much lighter version. This apparently changes all fonts that is blue (this includes for example vim comments), and is exactly what I wanted. But I cannot figure out a way to save this as default. Clicking "Save setting as default" button in the inspector does nothing, the new terminal window still gives you this dark blue.
Anyone know how do I do this?
Cheers,
Lianheng

Hi Nils,
Thanks for the replies.
I think I see what the problem is: basically the colors in the terminal are darker than that of the xterm in X11. This can be clearly seen from the vim. May be this is to do with the fact that apple terminal.app has a "better" color support?
I quite like the default LSCOLORS settings, which is:
LSCOLORS=exfxcxdxcxegedabagacad
The color settings in X11 is just perfect for me at the moment. It would be so much nicer if I can make the color scheme in terminal.app look like that of the X11. If say, I change LSCOLORS to
LSCOLORS=gxfxcxdxcxegedabagacad
and change the color schemes in vim to a lighter theme, but this will effect the colors in X11 too, which is perfect now. Cyan will look too light in X11.
At the first I thought by drag and dropping the colors into terminal it will alter its color map. So my question was actually how can one (if it is possible) change the color map of the terminal.app, so that it inteprets the ANSI "blue" slightly differently.
By the way, the way that you can see all colors in vim is really neat! Thanks for that tip.
Cheers,
Lianheng

go to Settings/Mail, and then "in the Outgoing Mail

How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

Hi!
I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
Thank you!

If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

How to make links different colors

I can't figure out how to make one link a different.

You need to define a set of link states (link, visted, hover, active) for each ID or class name required.
Let's say you want to have red links in your #header and white links in your #footer.
CSS:
#header a {text-decoration:none}
#header a:link {color:red}     /**unvisited**/
#header a:visited {color:gray} /**visited**/
#header a:hover,               /**on mouse over**/
#header a:active,              /**on click**/
#header a:focus                /**on tab key**/
    {text-decoration:underline}
#footer a {text-decoration:none}
#footer a:link {color:white}
#footer a:visited {color:yellow}
#footer a:hover,
#footer a:active,
#footer a:focus
    {text-decoration:underline}
HTML:
<div id="header">
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
</div>
<div id="footer">

How to make true two-color image from scanned rgb image...

hello...
I have 50 scanned images from one book, cyan + black, offset. How to easy make new two color (C+K) from this rgb images? If possible to make action.
sample:

How to easy make new two color (C+K) from this rgb images?
Not at all. They need extensive adjustments long before that - they are scanned wrongly to begin with (double-sided must be scanned against a black background), have fingerprints and whatnot. Once you have them cleaned up, converting to CMYK and cleaning up the colors is anotehr matter. Could be as easy as blanking out the yellow and magenta channels, could entail additiojnal extensive work. in any case, it won#t probably be automatic.

How can I make Illustrator remember Magic Wand settings?

I used to have an Illustrator action that selected all shapes with a similar fill and stroke. But since actions are completely broken in Illustrator CC, I've tried getting used to the Magic Wand tool, which basically does the same thing. Except in order to make it only select shapes that have the exact same stroke and fill like I want, you have to select all the checkboxes in the Magic Wand palette and set the tolerance values to zero. I don't mind doing that once, but Illustrator keeps reverting the tolerance setting to 32 and unchecking every box except "Fill Color" every time I restart Illustrator. I even tried setting the panel the way I want it in each New Document Profile and saving the files, but that had no effect.

I have not found a way to retain these settings in the Tragic Wand panel. Seems strange that Adobe would give you a Reset in the flyout menu but not allow you to have settings retain or presets savable. Feature Request?

Help! How to make background layer colored

Hi. I have been reading the help section but can't find my
answer. Hope someone can help me.
How do you make the background layer of an image COLORED?
Especially, how do you make the background a colored GRADIENT FILL?
For example, on layer #1 I have just an abstract design of shapes.
I want a background layer#2 to be a separate SOLID fill of color,
or a gradient fill.
The only way I have figured out how to remotely do this is if I draw
a rectangle, then stretch it out to edge of "canvas", then fill it w/color
but the edges never line up perfectly. Isn't there a better way? Thank you so much!

Thx for your quick reply.
Really? Wow, well that is good to know then. I used to use
Illustrator yrs. ago and now I am kind of re-learning it. I just remembered-
couldn't one create a layer, then select the "paint bucket" tool, pick a color,
then fill a background that way? Maybe I am thinking of Photoshop....

How to make Highlighted links color permanent?

Simply, for example, in Wikipedia, I clicked a link in their page to a different page, then that link would have been highlighted as "has been selected or clicked" with different color (in this case: purple), while links not have been clicked before are in blue.
The problem is after a few week, the links the I have previously visited before which should have been in purple turned blue again indicating that that I have not visited this link before (but I already have). This seemingly seems like the cache have been reseted or cleared. But I have not cleared any cache. This could also be that the cache is full but I have not set any limit on the amount of content.
So my question is, how do I ensure that the link that have been visited remain highlighted permanently for the font color so that I do not make the mistake of visiting the linked page again?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have obsolete, no longer supported, preferences from previous Firefox versions.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the <b>about:config</b> page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).
Your System Details List also shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How to set PS for the most reliable image previews and how to make sure the color spaces are the same across plateforms

I've been having an ongoing problem with some of my images changing color/luminance values after merging or flattening an image. This seems to most often happen if I use one of the filters (like crosshatch or notepaper, not sharpen or blur). I can make a copy using command/option/shift + E which most often will look exactly like what's on screen.
Some people have suggested that it's to do with resolution, PS showing me a low resolution image but I don't think so because the histogram changes -- sometimes in a big way, but most often those spikes in the luminance levels are shaved off. Also, when I have the image open at 100% and effect a merge/flatten, the color changes.
I'd like to know if there's a way to have PS show me one for one what I'm working on while I'm working on it, or if there is a way to control the color profiles when I'm saving. My best guess at this point is that there is a color profile mismatch going on somewhere. I just don't know where to look for it.
Typically I work in 16 bit, so my color space is set to ProPhoto RGB; my camera is set to the Adobe color space;
color management policies are set to preserve color profiles;
conversion options --> intent is set to relative colorimetric.

But it is calibrated. I use Xrite 1 and update it every month (on the first).
The colors can be really off. Here's an example.
https://flic.kr/p/r6A1Zd (what I want) https://flic.kr/p/qc5QTD (not what I want)
Also, I can't see how the bit depth will have any effect since the change in color happens in PS when I merge or flatten. It's 8 bit through the editing and 8 bit when I flatten it.
Have you any suggestions on what I can do on the computer side?
