How to see the foreground and background colour without those sliders?

I've always found the Color Panel really annoying. A lot of space is taken up by those sliders, and I hardly ever use them.
Is there some way to hide the sliders, or—better still—put the foreground & background colours on the control panel? Shouldn’t the colours be on the control panel by default, always there in the corner?
I wonder how most people view the foreground and background colour? Does Adobe seriously expect users to have the large Color Panel constantly displayed (along with its rarely-used sliders), or perhaps we’re all expected to have the Tools Panel constantly open even though it only contains basic tools that most people know the shortcuts for?
Or is there some other way to see the foreground and background colours?
Or do most users not need to know what the foreground and background colours are?

Too big, i guess you don't remember the color palettes from ps 1 and ps 2.
You might want to look at configurator to make a smaller panel that just shows the
foreground/background color chips.

  • How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
    I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
    What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
    Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
    Thanks in advance

    In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
    I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
    I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
    You should provide feedback to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

  • How to change the page Header background colour in a Theme

    Hello,
    I want to know how to change the page header background colour. If you are in the Editor I don't find a property where to change it.
    If you are in the Theme Editor in the header bar I want to change stands <b>Theme Editor</b>. This (in my case blue colored bar) I want to change in another color.

    Hello Radhika,
    thanks for your answer. Where do I find the option for the pageheader in System Administration>Portal Display>Theme Editor ->IView Trays exactly?
    The pageheader is a picture, which must be uploaded for the web dynpro. Why should any webdynpro element in the ivew tray. There is no relationship between these two parts.
    I have not found any option to change the web dynpro pageheader. Could there any extra theme editor for webdynpro?
    Thanks.

  • How to see the compilation and runtime errors in NW 2004s

    Hi
    I have developed some J2EE application and deployed it in a NetWeaver 2004s, some problems has occurred when I try to run this application.
    Where can I see the errors stacktrace for J2EE applications ? Is there any log ? I have already checked the std_server0.out and I didn´t find it there.
    By the way.. my SAP NetWeaver Application Developer is not validating the JSP syntax after I save the JSPs.

    Hello Michel,
    The exceptions will appear in ./j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.<#>.trc provided that the application is written to use the SAP logging API.
    Regards,

  • FF v. 4.0.1: Is it possible to change the text and background colours of the menubar please ?

    The menubar (above the tabs) appears as dark grey text on a light grey background - it is very difficult to read !

    You can revert to the Default theme.

  • How to change the font and background color in PowerShell

    From your error messages to your output parameters, changing the colors of different PowerShell variables and outcomes is a straightforward and useful way to customize your PowerShell console. You can quickly identify ouputs, error messages, parameters and more with simple color cues – and when you're dealing with a longer script, being able to quickly identify anything is a huge help.In aguide on how to configure and customize your color settingsin PowerShell, Petri walks through each and every step, and even donates some of itsown custom PowerShell color themes scripts. (It should be noted that this only works for PowerShell console and not PowerShell ISE.) You can access your color configuration by entering:Powershell$host.privatedataThis will pull up a list of all your colors as they are currently set.Image credit:Jeff HicksNow...

  • 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.

  • I have footage that needs to be green screened. One of the cameras zoomed and panned, is there anyway to lock foreground and background so the motion is consistent

    I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background

    I think you will need the camera tracker effect in AfterEffects, It would be best to ask in their forum.

  • How can I see the size and colour of text in DW Cs5?

    Hi forum, how do you see the size and colour of a piece of text in Dreamweaver Cs5, I have some text in a dreamweaver file which is a size I like and a colour I like and I want to make a CSS rule with these characteristics. How can you see what size and colour a piece of text is?
    Many thanks for any help
    Gareth

    <td height="89" colspan="5" valign="top"><p><font color="#FF0066" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">what is the text size, colour and boldness of this piece of text.</font></p></td>
    Above code is deprecated.  CS5 will not pick up these styles in the CSS styles panel.  Legacy sites are not simple to work with.  They need to be converted to  modern standards.  You do this by stripping the HTML styles from markup  and re-writing styles to CSS.
    <p>This is a normal paragraph</p>
    Put your CSS styles between your document's <head> and </head> tags:
    <style type="text/css">
    p {
    color: #FF0066;
    font-size: small;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    </style>
    Or, create an external stylesheet to which your HTML documents are linked like this:

  • 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.
    http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Drop_DownMenus.html
    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 :
