IOS8.3 iPhone menu bar colour
I just installed iOS8.3 and the top menu bar on the home screen has turned light grey with light text which I'm struggling to read. Interestingly if you go to say Settings the text turns black and is much easier to read. Is there a way of reverting this? I really don't know why designers do things like this! Thanks in advance.
Then menu bar isn't transparant so it won't make any difference. The problem is a white text on a light grey bar… it's unpleasant to look at and difficult to read. It also changes back to how it should be whenever you open anything - I don't understand the logic. I'd quite like black text as it was! Are there any settings for this? I can't see any...

Trying to make spry menu bar work on iphone
I would prefer my horizontal spry menu bar to be centered at the top of the page, but to do this I have to make it a fixed width.
This width is too wide for an iphone so the outermost buttons are not accessable.
I have managed a workaround by making the width auto and aligning left.
This makes each menu item cascade under the next so they are all accessable, but it's not brilliant.
You can see this by resizing the browser on the about jill page.
I tried the spry menu bar 2 widget, but couldn't customise the colours to make it look like my existing menu.
What is the best way get this menu working normally on an iphone/android etc?
Cheers
Ps. if anyone answers with code suggestions, could you tell me exactly where that code goes and in what file.Earlier iDevices & Droids are going to have trouble with a position:fixed menu. Just thought you should know.

I do not have the 'Advanced' tab on the menu bar. I am trying to change ringtone on my iphone 4s. Have done the following: Right cick on song, entered the start and stop times, but unable to proceed as need 'Advanced' tab in order to change to option.
You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanksDid you build Elsa with this package from AUR: elsa-svn-arch
The way your elsa.conf looks like indicates to me that you have not.
Please use the package because you are also missing pam-files. -
How can you create a spry menu bar with no background colour?
How can you create the first level of a spry menu bar to have no colour? I have a coloured background right now and the colour matches when you load the site in Internet explorer but does not match in Firefox. Any suggestions are welcomed on how to fix this.
Thanks!
HKHere is the site:
http://partnersnaturally.ca/
I am learning with code, (obviously) so any feedback would be nice. I use dreamweaver CS4, but when I originally designed the site it was in a much older version of dreamweaver. I wonder if that could also be a cause. (besides human error)
Thanks again,

The outgoing call icon has just appeared in the menu bar at the top of the screen (next to the wifi icon) on my iPhone 5 and no matter what i do i cant seem to get rid of it.
I have rebooted and and cleared all running apps and still on luck.
The phone still works ok and i can make and receive calls.... any ideas on how to get rid of it?
ThanksHere's what it looks like.
Mine did the same, just randomly overnight -
After updatig to 10.7.2 and tranferring to i Colud:
My Sync menu bar icon is still existant av make the menu bar hang when toggeled.
System Prefs icon "MobileMe" is also still there, and marking the Syncronize tab makes the System Prefs freeze.
Mail won't quit due to something like "registering syncronice prefs" (my translation from norwegian, see picture).
The sync between iTunes and iPhone is also extremely slow, probably of same sync reason.
Anyone?Yes, I did read "the manual". Both the official site and several others. And I think I did it right, - or not (?). When the "MailSyncPref" referred to in Mail has been working for a while (~5 min.) it disappears, and I can quit Mail, access menu bar and sync iPhone through iTunes. Still it seems to work very slow. The only thing I've not done yet is to backup to iCloud, because I worry that the system will be occupied rest of the day/night.
Still someone out there with a good idea?

FF4 superb, install it yeasterday, but the only gripe is the grey menu bar, been in to customize, but no opitions to change/ add colour.
You can do that by using a theme such as Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.
Very many thanks to you, Putaro! Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

BIG problems with iOS 8.2 Safari ("dark mode" menu bar, no auto-fill, etc)... HELP, please?
So I was simply wiping the dust off my screen, with Safari open, and once I had finished... Safari just went belly-up.
And I need some help badly.
First thing that I noticed was that Safari now has a "dark mode" menu bar.
Secondly, my auto-fill user names and passwords no longer "auto-fill" - I have to place the cursor in a field and have the keyboard pop up in order to access the auto-fill function: previously, the fields simply, well, auto-filled.
And, thirdly, when I attempt to post a message to the Apple Support Communities, there is no visible text in the body of the text. I'm using my MacBook Pro to type this message.
I have searched and searched to try to find remedies to my problems, but I can't find a thing. There's nothing unusual in Accessibility (that would make the whole screen, for example, grayscale), nothing changed in passwords, etc.
I'm at my wits end! Even restoring from an older backup doesn't remedy any of the problems.
Can anyone help?
Clinton
iPad Air 2, WiFi onlyIf the menu bar at the top of Safari show white text on a grey background, and autofill isn't working, then you probably have private browsing 'on'. Tap the icon top right of the Safari screen (the square on top of a second square), tap the Private button at the top of the next screen and then Done - Safari should then go back to its normal colours and autofill should work again

Photoshop CS4 - Menu bar background is showing as black
Hi all,
I've been attempting to change the background colour of the menu bar of my photoshop, for some reason instead of being a white background with black text, i have the below.
The machine I am running has:
Photoshop CS4
Win 7 64 Bit
4GB of Ram
Any help would be really be appreciated, thank you for you time,
KrisIf you have not set an oddball theme on the desktop (which Photoshop mostly ignores), it could be that you have a video driver glitch.
I think the first thing I'd try is this: Right-click on the open desktop, choose Personalize, then save your current theme. Now select the Windows 7 theme, just to make sure everything's set in a known way.
Does the problem persist?
If so, then it's likely a video driver update will help... Visit the web page of the maker of your video card, locate the latest driver version for your hardware and version of Windows, download, and install.

I am using a spry menu bar, which looks perfect in firefox, but in IE (version 6.0) I cannot get the font right for when an item on the menu bar has been visited. The font should stay white, but goes to a light purple colour which is hard to read. The site is www.binscombe.net and the CSS code is below. Any help really appreciated.
Many thanks,

Spry Menu Bar Widget 2.0 (1.0) -- IE 6 Rendering Snag
Hi:
Once again I need to call on the aid of others with more detailed knowledge of the spry frameworks, particularly the Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (vers. 1.0) developed by Adobe labs.
I have posted the site to http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html. You will see that it works beautifully, thanks to the help of many contributors, except in IE 6.0, where, when the sub menus become visible and drop down, it causes all page elements (divs) to be pushed down to create the necessary room to accommodate the drop down. The natural overlap of the sub-menu over pre-existing content doesn't seem to overlay properly.
It does this on all pages, and not just those which present flash sideshows. And as I say it is peculiar to IE 6.
I have followed the tutorial provided by David Powers in deploying the widget and have not altered the spry skin css or the basic css. Any changes (affecting padding, etc. and adding of background images where created using the widget browser and supplemented in the css added to the template page. The "add-on" css was then added to the general style sheet governing the whole site layout.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, if there are any work arounds or hacks that anyone is aware of, or any other suggestions that might help.
I haven't been able to preview this on a free standing PC using IE6, but was able to reproduce the problem on 2 cross browser testing services employing a "live mode". I renders properly until the sub-menus are called upon to become visible, and then the problem manifests.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Steve Webster
Attach.
Please note: Attached are the relevant excerpts from the customized style sheet as amended from the spry widget browser:
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel

so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */

in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */

* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.

/* Ends Spry Menu Bar Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal Menu Custom styles */I have systematically reviewed the tutorial of David Powers on the Spry Menu bar 2.0, and recreated the process in a methodical process - making one change at a time, and then checking each step on a cross browser testing server, and have found, quite to my amazement that what seems to be causing the problem of the "gap" in IE 6 is by removing the customized styles from the head of the individual pages, and placing them in CSS stylesheet that governs the entire site.
I find this quite inexplicable. When the customized CSS rules governing the menu bar are situated in a separate stylesheet, the page renders well enough for any of the "modern" browsers, but won't render in IE 6. All that I get is a horizontal menu with drop downs, but none of the styling (specifically background colours, background images, etc.) that are called for in the stylesheet and that otherwise appear when rendered by other browsers.
I realize that this sounds strange, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced this phenomenon, or could offer any explanation.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Spry Horizontal menu bar borders not showing in IE6/IE 7 but ok in Mozilla!
I am hoping someone can help me! I have built a spry menu
with CS 3 and have altered the CSS file to customise colours etc.
the problem I am encountering is that I have specified white
borders around the menus items and sub menus which look perfectly
fine in Mozilla Firefox but when I check IE 6 & 7 the borders
have disappeared! I am hoping someone you may have a workaround or
any reason this might happen.
this is the CSS

Problem with Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) re - CSS
Hello:
I am having some difficulty with a Spry Menu Bar (horizontal) 2.0 (1.0) that I have created. Initially I thought the problem was with regard to rendering issues on IE 6.0, however the problem seems to be more general than that and I have come to believe that it has to do with the CSS created by the Widget Browser and modified once imported into the webpage. Hence I have elected to post my issue here rather than on the spry page.
I have relied on the tutorial provided by David Powers (Bayside.css) and in addition other documentation regarding the Spry menu bar UI. The problem appeared to be one of IE 6 rendering the page with a gap that is created when the drop down menus appear, thus pushing down any divs that appear below the page.
However, through a painstaking process of trial and error my problem now seems to be that when I export the CSS generated by the widget browser to an external style sheet (the general style sheet governing the whole site), it conflicts with other CSS styles regarding links etc. The end result is that all the padding, background colours, background images, and text colours are lost. So long as the CSS remains within the head this doesn't happen.
My thinking is that this must have to do with issues of specificity, inheritence, etc.
The site can be viewed at the following URL: http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html. In its current form all CSS related to the menu bar is found in the head of each page. (see CSS below).
My question is can I establish a separate style sheet for the horizontal menu bar and have those styles applied specifically (and only) to the menu bar. My only other alternative is to work through the remainder of the general style sheet and work through any issues of specificity/inheritance -- which may be the "best" practice, but it risks causing other "cascading" [sic] problems elsewhere.
Any advice or suggestions or directed reading (that would point to a solution) that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.

The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
background-color:transparent;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */

/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this

in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */

Thanks for your input. However I am not certain we have resolved this issue adequately, or understand the principles governing the css as regards this spry menu framework 2.0 (1.0).
For example, the menu only works in IE 6.0 if the css remains in the head. I agree with your original post that it shouldn't make any difference whether the css is posted in the head or in a separate style sheet (so long as specificity issues are addressed). Both should work -- and yet it doesn't.
If the CSS is placed in the separate style sheet governing the total site, it doesn't work for 6.0. If placed at the top of the style sheet, conflicts of specificity prevent the menu from rendering properly in any of the browsers causing the rules for general links to govern the menu. This has been verified using a cross browser testing. If the styles are placed at the bottom of the style sheet to help them take precedence, they work in all the browsers except for IE 6.
The website I am building needs to support IE 6 for a variety of reasons, and because it is catering to the non-profit community and to low income persons, I am mindful of even small differences in page weight.
So for me, at least, the issue remains baffling.
I appreciate your input, but also would appreciate the input from others, and especially Adobe Community Professionals and employees. The spry framework in this regard is not well documented. I am not certain if this is exclusively a CSS problem, if it might also be complicated by the architecture of the spry framework, or if indeed other variables are at play.
I would be my hope that in resolving the problem, other users of the this particular spry framework might also benefit.
Thanks,
Steve.
