Is it possible to change the CS4 background color?

I am doing a job which requires lots of screengrabs of images and settings against the usual dark gray CS4 background. The problem is that the guidelines you adjust to form a rectangle round the image you're grabbing are dark grayish too and it's difficult to see it against the gray background. Is there any way to temporarily change the dark gray CS4 window background color? I'm running under Vista and changing the window and application background colors in Vista makes no difference to the background color in CS4 which sticks at dark gray.
Thanks.
David

Thanks.
Geoff - Changing the color in Full Screen with Menus has no effect. The dark gray is still there after a close CS4 and open.
Thanks for the alternative approach. The Faststone screengrab process is quicker. It's just a nuisance you can't change the color or thickness of the grabbing lines.
Rob - which background? When I right click on the CS4 background - the working area with nothing in it - I get no context menu. I get nothing in fact.
I am surprised that the Prefernces/Interface changes don't work but they don't seem to.
I have done abou 160 screen grabs and probably have another 3-400 to do.

How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Similar question asked by TH received another response.
Here is the address of that question and answer:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
I like the solution recommended there.
Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
Thanks

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {

#choice-box-menu-item .label {

Can i change the preview background color?

Hi
can i change the preview background color?
it's gray , may i change it?
thanks
i use bridge cs6

can i change the preview background color?
Yes you can do so in the Bridge preferences under general both Ui interface and image backdrop can be changed
In the same preferences Cache you can change the location of the central cache to where ever you will. But you have to realize that if you use an external disk this can cause all kinds of problems regarding speed, performance and permission issues. best to keep it on an internal disk and having an SSD available will be even better because you will benefit from performance and speed very much.
it's gray , may i change it?
As long as you have a legal version and it is able to change then feel free to set it to your own custom wishes...

Is it possible to change the tab index color?

Take care,

Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK. IPad 4 ios 7

As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Vancouver22 Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
Thanks!

How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

Hello All,
I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
Ahh, onward!

Is it possible to change the selectedTab text color in SPRY Tabs?

Was working with SPRY tabs and the client would like the font color to change to white on roll over and select.
Is this possible through simply adding a single line of code to the css file of the SPRY file under
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected {
    height: 46px;
    width: 168px;
    background-color: #a7b9c3;
    color: #f7f7f7;
as you can see I already attempted to change the color and wasn't able to achieve the results on
http://ebnerproductions.com/index22.html
If it is possible, awesome, if not, I will replace with rollover images to get the desired result.

Thank you again to everyone in the forum as you have all helped me big time in the last couple of days!!!!!

I've gone through the coding now for a couple of days and still cannot get the font color to change on select.

Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?

Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.

Doesn't work
^ ^
Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
This is what the fellow is talking about. Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey.
