Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4?

Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4? What I mean is replace the swatches default colour palette with my own, so that each time I create a new document it comes up with my colours rather than Illustrators.

You might also consider using color groups with Illustrator. Let me know what you think. It may help you out with projects that use the same color preferences.
Check out the tutorial here:

Let me know if this helps you.

Change the default colours in line chart

hi everyone,
I'am a new user in Flex, and I am facing my first barrier
I am using a code to interact a table and a graph
the defaults colours of the lines are orange and a kind of green
I would like to change these colours to red and pure green if it's possible
here is my code

Well, I'm getting closer. I have resorted the legend according to the order of the lines on the chart, by doing the following:
> chart expert
> data tab
> select field from "On change of" list
> Top N button
> For this group sort "All", based on the same field as I selected from the "On Change of" list, in descending order
> click OK and OK again.
Although this worked, I'm pretty sure it's sorting on the wrong year. I would like the legend to be sorted descending, according to the values in 2010, not 2006, which it appears to be doing. Any ideas?
By the way, my apologies if I mislead anyone by saying I have grouped charts. It's actually an advanced report that is grouped by one of my data fields. This produces a new chart for each group automatically.
Thanks again. I appreciate all offers of help!

There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library. Can't find it. Thanks

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it." Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns. Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
Any help would be appreiated. OSX 10.9.2 iTunes version 11.1.5 Thanks!!! CW!

From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options. Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked. You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
Good luck

Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Scott

In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?

Hello,
In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?
Thank you.

Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
GetValueOrDefault
EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
questions...
To be clear:
Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

Please can someone help me to get back the default colours on my mac book pro

Help can anyone out there please help me get back the default colour settings on my mac book pro!

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. I finally found out how to solve the problem. In System Preferences you go into Accesibilities and then you have to uncheck the box for Invert colour, somehow this got checked (no idea how!) anyway if checked all the colours go weird and photos & pics look like negatives. So I hope this will help other people too if they ever get this problem.
Best wishes
