HT203172 Can't customize the color of desktop background anymore.  What happened?

I have Snow Leopard and used to be able to customize desktop background colors to go with personal pics I might want to use but now it won't work.  I can open the color wheel and move the color marker to get the color I want but it never changes in the box where the color shows up.  I close the wheel and nothing happens. ( What have I forgotten to do?)  I thought it did it automatically as I was moving the colors around??
Thanks.

I'm replying to my own question! I got the urge to click on the wheel itself, you know, when all else fails, CLICK where the cursor is!  And it worked!  I tried to get this answered in the Help menu but it didn't help.   See, the atmosphere within this Apple online community is so powerful with help that all you have to do sometimes is just put a question out there and before you know it, the answer will be revealed!  Wow!

  • Can't get the color to line up with what I picked for fill

    Hi,
    I am attempting to get bright green color to fill the square. If you notice my color picker is (0,255,0) bright as it gets. But the actual fill color is a different shade of green.
    I need the (0,255,0) shade of green. What am I doing wrong? I have an "out of gamut" warning. I don't know what that means.
    ***Update***
    I figured it out. I had to change the document color mode to RGB. Maybe this will help someone.
    File > Document Color Mode > RGB

    Welcome to the World of Color
    Your document is in CMYK mode. The color picker isn't and it can't even simulate it. So you get that warning that your color can't be printed and you see the color managed version of your color on the artboard.

    HI,

    You may have a look with catchword "Portal Theme" - there you can customize colors for portal - tables.

    I recall doing it initially but can't find any place to redo it.

    Unless you did it in pse7 or pse 8, then you really can't change the interface colors in pse 9 or pse 10.
    The only color you can easily change in the interface of the editor is the padding color around the document by right clicking outside the document bounds.

  • How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

    Hi ys,
    You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
    Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

  • How can I customize the skin of my AIR app

    Hi all,
    I have created an AIR app from my RoboHelp v7 WebHelp.
    Works and looks quite nice. Great. It's just that it did not use the WebHelp skin I created. It uses some default skin.
    How can I customize the skin of my AIR app? When I run the RH Packager for Adobe AIR, I get a dlg box come up, called, "General Options - RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR" and it offers me a few default skins, but it does not offer me the skin I made for my WebHelp.
    I also heard that if you learn FLEX you might be able to change the skins.
    TIA

  • How can I customize the stylesheet of webdynpro applications?

    Hello experts,
    how can I customize the Look & Feel (e.g. background color) of webdynpro applications?
    I refer e.g. to UWL which is opened by a task link in an email and opens as as webdynpro application in a separate window. It appears in the typical SAP blue. I would like to change the color.
    The portal´s customization does not affect webdynpro applications.
    Thanks in advance for any hint.

    Hi Avi
    Yep, that's what you get with AIR output. You have to live
    with the skins the AIR layout provides. I suppose if you are a FLEX
    developer you might be able to change the skins. But it is what it
    is.
    You might consider submitting a Wish Form to ask the
    development team to allow us more flexibility with AIR skins. Or to
    even create a way for the AIR app to use elements of the WebHelp
    skins.
    Click
    here to visit the Wish Form.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I customize the Column Headers of the TABLE control/indicator in LabVIEW ?

    I need to customize the TABLE control/indicator in the LabVIEW as the same shape of the table in the LabWindows CVI or the DBgrid of the Borland Delphi. Where can I modify the color and shape of the Column Headers and the Row Headers.
    Thanks,
    Cleber

    Salutations,
    You asked this question about 3 months ago, and no one answered it.. How rude of them, well....
    You can customize any control/indicator by right mouse clicking on it, going to advanced, then customize. If you want to color it, you can always right mouse click with the shift key down, and pull up the painting tool stuff. Or use the tab key if you want to scroll through tools. I believe it's the tab key. Alright, i bet you've long since figured it out, but i couldn't resist.
    Sincerely,
