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

How can I save the Personal Settings done in the SAP standard viewer

Dear All,
I am facing the problem that I am not able to save changes made in the personal settings of the SAP standard viewer. I want to change the Colors to monochrome and I also want to change the background. Unfortunatelly these changes are not saved and I have to do that every time I am starting the viewer.
How can I save these changes?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Markus

Dear Markus,
normally the personal settings for the ECL Viewer are stored in the registry. Here the value for background color is for example stored in the following directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/VCT_Retained/6.1/Common/de/ImageViewUtils
Depending in the language of the operating system the key has weither the value 'en' (english) or 'de' german.
So here the personal settings should be stored or can be modified directly.
Best regards,
Christoph

All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted. Do you actually mean Restore the phone? See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

I have an IPhone 4S. My color pictures and all icons have lost their color. How do I get the color back? Did I touch a wrong button?

I have an IPhone 4S. All my color pictures and icons turned to looking like a negative. No color! How do I get the color back on my phone?

Hi ladwwd56,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Is it possible that you may have an Accessibility feature called "White on Black" turned on?
See page 244 of the iPhone User Guide PDF:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1539/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.p df
White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone screen, which may make it easier to read the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the “White on Black” switch.
If that is not the case, try restarting / resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7

Happy New Year!

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 can I change the colors of a photo?

How can I change the colors in a photo?

No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How do I edit the default settings to always embed fonts?

How do I edit the default settings in Acrobat Pro XI to always embed fonts?

Do not use the Std job settings, but use the Press or Print settings. You can also edit the properties of the Job Settings (best done in Distiller) to not exclude any fonts and embed all as subset fonts. Be sure to check the option to continue if embedding is not possible or your creation will fail if you used a font that is not licensed for embedding (Acrobat will only embed fonts that are legally licensed for embedding -- most are, but not all).
If you edit the Std, you will need to save to a new name. You might use MyStd or such. Then go to the Start>Printers and edit the properties of the Adobe PDF printer to make that settings file the default. If you use PDF Maker, you will have to change the PDF Maker preferences also (PDF Maker seems to use the last selection, not the default in the printer). Hopefully that is clear enough.

How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
Hope that helps.

How can I change the color of tiles in Wndos 8.1???

Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error.

Hello,
I am using PS CS 5 on a brand new MAC OSX 10.9.4.
Upon startup of PS, I get this message:
"Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error."
If I click "Okay", the message goes away and I can use PS. What does this message mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Just ignore it.
The message refers to color settings not being identical in all installed applications. And they don't have to be - mine are deliberately unsynchronized and I have no desire whatsoever to synchronize them.
Note that color settings are stored under your user account and are not removed with an uninstall. So the message could well refer to uninstalled apps, trial versions, anything you once had on your system.
Personally I think this is a useless and misleading warning and they should just remove it, considering the amount of confusion it causes.
Spinipes, the printing crash is unrelated to this. Start a new thread for that.

How do you tell the color value of a pixel in an image data

Hi,
Given a BufferedImage of type, say BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR, how do you tell the color value of a pixel in the image?
Specifically, in the following code:
Raster imgData = image.getData();
int x = imgData.getMinX();
int y = imgData.getMinY();
int width = imgData.getWidth();
int height = imgData.getHeight();
I want to search the raster looking for a specific color, e.g., Color.WHITE.
According to the API, "getSample()" may be used for this purpose. But, how do you know which color band a band index parameter in getSample() refers to? Does band index of 0 always refer to the RED band? Does band index of 1 refer to the GREEN band? etc.
I'd greatly appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
Thanks,
--HS

In the print dialog underneath the settings for number of copies and print range you should see a dropdown menu probably called Layout. If you don't see that look for a button labeled Details and click it.
Under the Layout menu you should find an option labeled Printer where you will find Printer specific options. Look for something there. You might also find an option called Color which may have options you are looking for.
If this doesn't help, go to the printer manufacturer's website and look for answers there.

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.
