HT201210 iOS7 - changing the appearance?

I do not believe I am the only person who finds the look of iOS7 to be poorly considered. The very distinctive look of iOS6 has been sacrificed for a cheap-looking and garish re-deign and palette that is far from easy on the eye. It is a morphing of marketing material from Orange from 15 years ago with graphics from Ceebeebies - truly hideous. I find I am using my iPhone now with a degree of reluctance. When I do it's like the giant scratch on your new car that you can't stop staring at. Yes there are more important things in the World - but I am still tied into a contract on my phone for a good while yet and I would never have purchased an iPhone if it looked like this. Did Apple carry out ANY market research on this? If so - can we see the published details. If not, why the complete disregard for the thoughts of the millions who generate the compny's billions? So my question is - can I (in the good old way that Microsoft updates let you) change the appearance of iOS7 to the "retro" look of iOS6? If not, when will Apple release a fix to let me?

I am trying to get used to it but it's not getting any easier to look at my iphone ios7 interface. I want like it but I can't. Some of the new features are nice - but not worth the sacrifice of having cheap looking icons and unpleasant backround colors that overall look like a cartoon desktop that is hard to read.
I liked the old os immediately and never tired of it. Change for the sake of change is not necessarily improvement.
I hope Apple is listening - it's not fun to struggle with this look.

Hyperlink panel disabled - So how do I change the appearance of a hyperlink?

I am at the final stages of layout and the only thing preventing me from publishing electronically is that the hyperlinks have bounding boxes around them. I have previously been able to use the hyperlink options to change the appearance of a hyperlink but my panel is completely greyed out > see below. I can only change the destination and that does not give any link options. The panel doesn't even register any hyperlinks although you can see many in my screen grab alone. I have modified the character style but since these are active links (which should remain active), the style does not change the bounding box. I even tried retyping links and linking them to their URL with InDesign but I cannot control any options after a link has been made. I also cannot afford to do this +100 times. Anyone have any tips? I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro. I've already rebooted the computer and InDesign to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a script I can use?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Change the appearance of a 'saved search stack' in dock

Hi,
I read a hint on Mac OS X Hints which I particularly like, allowing for a saved search in the dock to behave as a stack showing all recently used documents. See here for the original hint.
The problem I have is that the icon of this stack is a drawer with papers in it. It looks really out of place next to my other stacks, so I would like to customise it. I have changed the icon of the entry in ~/Library/Saved Searches, but that doesn't get reflected in the dock. I have looked at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, but there is no reference to an icon in there that I could potentially change.
How do I change the appearance of a 'saved search stack' in the dock!?
thanks,
Rob

I agree with you that this is not good design and only adds to the confusion of new users, not lessens it.
It also makes more steps for experienced users.
Still it is what it is. Personally I'm sticking with Snow Leopard. After all the anticipation I found Apple has screwed up Lion and it is looking like their version of Vista. A rearrangement of the deckchairs to distract you from the gaping hole in the side of the ship, and that the Shipping Company has decided they are switching to other businesses.
Save a version is Save, and OSX handles all saves using versions you can step back through.
Duplicate is Save as with an extra step inbetween where the file has another name that you need to change. btw also lacks a shortcut. Nice one Apple.
Revert has always been there in OSX and was one of the few improvements in that it consistently lets you go back to your last saved version.

Hi Stephanie,
Unfortunately there is no way to change the text or appearance of this dialog box. You are stuck with it as is.

Change the appearance of icons

Is there a way to change the actual icons that appear? I've figured out how to move them around, but I wonder if you can make them look different, so for instance my 2 email accounts look different?

Can I change the appearance of my homepage, maybe with a theme

Can I change the appearance of my homepage, instead of the plain white page can I download a theme.

There aren't many (if any) themes for Firefox 4.0 at the moment, so your best option is to use a persona.

I was changing the appearance of the icons in the dock....

I was changing the appearance of the icons in the dock. And I decided to try doing the same thing to the icon in the sidebar in Finder. I ended up making one icon into a grey square. How do I restore the original sidebar icon?

I found an easy solution (it doesn't require the operating system to be reinstalled). And here's what my finder sidebar looks like now:
Just follow the simple instructions here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjiVTcCvMTI&feature=youtu.be

I want to change the appearance of my homepage how do i do it?

Question
i want to change the appearance of my homepage how do i do it?It shows the basic full window in a bright white,when i have the glow of green with dark colors,it just throws all the appearance off.How can i fix this?

Hi dab07,
What home page are you referring to? If you use google or other providers as your homepage, they offer some customization. You will need to review their help content for details.
If you are talking about the actual appearance of Firefox, you can change this quite easily. Just take a look at [[Using themes with Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

I want the option to change the appearance of IOS7

I don't know where els to post this. I am wondering if in a future update could apple make it possible for me to change the color of my keyboard? It's just too white and I would like to have a black keyboard all the time. Also about the color pallet of the apps, I want a way to make them look less ( I don't know how els to say this) girly? I have been using IOS7 for 4 months now and it's really starting to look boring and way way too flat, with an overdose of white. Can Apple fix this?

How can I use most of the features of firefox 5 without changing the appearance of my browser?

I just downloaded the new version of firefox, and everything seems great except for the new layout and the change in general appearance. It is less streamlined and more distracting. I do not like the blocky look of the buttons or the lack of division between sections. Is there a way to keep the changes in the way firefox 5 works without the change in appearance?
If there is not, how can I reload the old version of firefox until one I like better is released?

See items 1- 10 in
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
I would try to stick with the silhouette gray/black buttons, but since it already bothers you at least stick to a theme or style limited to the ones on the toolbars (not the dialogs, which would be too wasteful) see item #48
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/strata-xp/ Strata XP] (Theme (buttons), 13.3KB), replaces silhouette toolbar icons with color. Icons are smaller and perhaps less distinguishable.

-trying to change the appearance of a sphere at runtime

Hi,
I've been trying desperately to change the appeareance of a simple sphere during runtime. I keep getting
javax.media.j3d.CapabilityNotSetException: Shape3D: no capability to set appearance
My code looks as following:
//create a sphere
sphere = new Sphere(size*1.15f, blacklook);
sphere.setCapability(Sphere.ENABLE_APPEARANCE_MODIFY);
//change its app during runtime
sphere.setAppearance(redlook);I don't know what the heck is not correct with my approach.
PLEASE HELP!

>
So what in the world ist the
sphere.setCapability(Sphere.ENABLE_APPEARANCE_MODIFY);for?
I don't understand. Any idea?You can get the current Appearance object of a Shape3D object with the getAppearance method and change this object (watch that appropriate capabilities have to be set on the Appearance object) instead of creating a new Appearance object and add it to the Shape3D.

How do I keep the "display time" from changing when I change the "appear after" time?

Hello,
I am having the the problem that the "Display For" time for my text captions changes from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time" when I drag the "Appear After" time in the time line.
In other words, when I try to change when a text caption appears by dragging its Appear After point on the timeline from the very the start of the slide to e.g. 3 seconds after the slide starts, it automatically changes when it "disappears"... By that I mean the Display For time in "Timing" switches by itself from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time"...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Ryan

Hi there
It's a feature!
Aside from making Ctrl+E your new best friend, the best you can do is report to Adobe and hope it gets fixed in a future release.
