Is there a highlight color pallete available?

it's troublesome to have to right click and change the colors of my highlight.
thanks,

I've just developed a tool that allows one to switch between colors for the Highlighter tool with a single click.
The admins of these forums frown on me posting direct links, so if someone is interested in this tool they can contact me privately via PM or email (the address is in my profile page).

Highlight colors change (invert) on some backgrounds, i can make it back by changing use system colors and or background color, i would like to knoe if there is a setting to stop the change ?

i set my highlight colors to yellow background and black foreground in windows , it uses the same colors in firefox except as i highlight over some colors the foreground and background colors invert yellow on black , if there is a setting (or one can be added) in about:config to make the highlight always stay as yellow back and black foreground ? , im not sure if it is done within firefox though or if it is win xp but itcan be changed inside firefox about:config with browser.display.use_system_colors and/or browser.display.background_color .

that sort of makes sense but when you look at youtube messages , each alternate line is a very pale blue and when highlighted each alternate line the color is switched , this also happens on all web pages with simuler shading (not just pale blue) .
about the purple highlighting , ive never seen that , i have firefox on 2 PCs , a laptop and a notepad and they all use the colors set in win xp for highlight , even when use system colors is set to false , all that happens then is they swap about (invert) agen , i some times have to switch browser background color as well . sorry for being repetetive , im just trying to be clear , i have tried fine tuning BG color but on some pages just 1 single number away from white makes the switch,on other pages you can go nearly all the way to black befor it switches .ive just seen add images , ill send some pics to show what im trying to say .

Is there anyway to change/add more highlighter colors in Preview? I need more colors aside from those already provided in the app.

I'm a law student and I use the preview app extensively for reading cases. I need more highlighter colors aside from those already provided and it seems that there's no possible way of adding/changing the colors.

Unlike Preview, the Adobe Reader application allows you to change PDF highlight (comment) text colors via a standard Apple color chooser. Click Tools on the Reader Toolbar, and then Comment. The second button in the Comment Annotation section is highlight text, and defaults to canary yellow.
Highlight the document text, and then two-finger tap/control-right-click that highlighted text. On the contextual menu, you will see Properties…. The properties panel has a color well set to yellow. Click this color well, and a standard Apple color chooser will appear that allows you more creative control over your highlight color. When you click a color in the color chooser, it is not automatically updated in the color well, which remains dark grey. When you quit the color chooser, the selected color is updated in this color well and in your document. The next text that you select to highlight will receive a default yellow highlight.

Is there a way to change the highlight color for buttons?

I swear, iDVD has got to be the most counter-intuitive program Apple has made in recent memory. I'm a huge Apple fan but this program makes me want to throw my computer at the freaking wall.
All I want to do is change the ugly yellow highlight color of the buttons (which appears when you select them) in the DVD menu. I'm making a wedding video, and the DVD menu is all silver, gray, black and white, so the yellow color that it defaults to looks hideous.
Any help is appreciated!

Good day Glenn,
You may want to consider upgrading from Acrobat 9.5 Standard to Acrobat X Pro. Acrobat X Professional has the redaction tool which is really easy to use.
You could also accomplish the workflow you described in your question. If you right-click the tool-bar, and enable the Properties Bar, you can change the color of your highlighter tool to black. Then you can 'highlight' the text you would like to eliminate. After you're done, print the document to the Adobe PDF printer with 'Document and Markup' selected under the 'Comments and Forms' drop-down menu to 'refry' your PDF.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

Changing the Today highlight color

I was wondering if there is a way to change that color. Today is highlighted with a very faint blue, and for a person with bad color blindness it's very difficult to see and tell apart from the rest of the white boxes of the dates around. So i can't easily and quickly zoom in on the Today box. Anyone has any ideas?
I wish Apple had a little more consideration for the color blind people,
Saturatingly yours,

Mac needs to improve colors everywhere. In iCal if you add a calendar and, for example, label it red: unless it is the highlighted day, the red is a crummy dulled down red. Same with all of the other colors. The result is a calendar full of dull colors that are not helpful. Also the folders in mail and itunes must have the ability to color code. And why are there only a few colors to available to label folders on the desktop all of which are really distasteful? Basically the same choices since OS 7. I expect more from Mac on this.

Limit Color Pallet in RGB Mode

Is there a way to limit the amount of colors available for use in RGB mode? I know that in Indexed Mode, you can limit it to, say, 256 colors, but then so many of Photoshop's features aren't enabled anymore.
Can the color pallet in RGB mode be limited to 256 colors (or any amount of colors we choose)?

Good idea. But the problem is when mixing those two colors together using the mixer brush - it then utilizes the millions of colors in the RGB pallet to smoothly blend those 2 colors together.
If the pallet was restricted to 256 for example, then when using the mixer brush to blend, I'm guessing the blend would appear more pixellated because of the restriction on the amount of colors.
To answer my own question however, I tried adding a Posterize adjustment layer on the very top of the layer stack, then reducing the number of levels to somewhere between 10-15 levels.
It seems to be acheiving what I'm looking for, although I was hoping for a native way to restrict the color pallet without having to use adjustment layers

How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

How do I change the highlight color?

When I'm working on my document in Pages, I often do a Search (command-F) to quickly find a word or phrase that appears somewhere else in the document. It works great, but it highlights the word/phrase in light gray, which I have trouble seeing. Is there a way to change the highlight color to yellow, or any other color, making the word/phrase easier to see?

You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Can you change the color pallet in Logic Pro X?

Hi there,
Is it possible to change the colors on the color pallet in Logic Pro X?
They are too dark for me.
I would appreciate your replies.
Thanks and cheers,
GJ

@ Eriksimon:
Thanks for your help.
Now, I understand that it's a little different. Basically, you can change the values (ranging form 1 to 360) for the 24 upper fields of the Color Palette. (Logic derives the bottom two rows from the top one, making it darker). These values refer to the Hue-color circle. So, you can't change the saturation or lightness ... that's what I was looking for.
Anyhow, I did change some of the values. In this case it starts with 360 ("real" red) for the first region (01), followed by 15 for the second, 30 for the third etc., stretching over the whole spectrum. (The original values range from 14 to 312 only.)
Thanks again for your hints.

Changing the Preview highlight color

When you search a PDF file with Preview, you get a list of results in the drawer. Selecting a result goes to that page and highlights the search text. However, the highlight color is a dull gray and is often very difficult to locate quickly, especially on a page full of small text.
Does anyone know if this color can be changed, for example to imitate the easily visible color used by the Firefox find command? There's no obvious preference for this, but perhaps there's something hidden in the preference file?

Preview follows the system default, which sets the highlight color of inactive windows to gray and the active window to the color set in Appearance.
When you search, you can use Tab/ShiftTab to toggle focus between the drawer (containing the search instances) and the main page display pane.

Hotmail tools missing highlight color tool IE & Apple same Hotmail a/c is ok

IE9 terrible, so as many advise I changed to Firefox & true in SRV is great, but when I access Hotmail live my account via IE 8 or 9 or Apple Safari browser, the email compose site has the last tool after text color as a highlight color button.

How can I restore that tool to Firefox operated hotmail live toolbar normal mposition as last tool on that standard format list.

Hi there,
I have this exact same issue with my Mac Mini home media server. It has a fixed IP. However there is no vpn client installed.
When I restart the computer everything works fine. Then after a couple of days the dns loses it. Dig works fine and ping. If I try google in a browser it won't load, but if I put in an IP address of a known existing website, it works fine. I can still use remote desktop to access the computer. But if I try to access iTunes through the Remote iPhone app it fails to connect.
I have searched a lot on the internet, and tried out a lot of solutions / suggestions but the bug is rather persistent.
Is there anyone who can help me with this one?
Regards,
Jasper

Find feature Highlight Color and End of document alert

I am using Version 2.0.7 and noticed two problems with the text find feature that I hope someone else knows about a configuration setting or work around that will resolve the problems.
Thanks,
Problem 1. Found search characters are highlighted in gray. This color is difficult to spot if not looking straight at the screen or if only a few characters are in the search. Is there a preference setting that can change the color of found text searches?
Problem 2. When reaching the end of the email, there is no alert message to ask if the find function should search backwards. Clicking on the find Next button causes the process automatically loop back to the top and begin again.
Is this a bug or the way the function works?

Thank you for responding to my query.
I performed the following additional analysis and confirmed the behaviors still exists. Please let me know these conditions can be duplicated.
Problem 1 - highlight text color
A. Checked preference settings as recommended and confirmed Highlight Color is "Gold".
B. Opened mail message, selected Edit>Find and typed in the search characters.
C. Clicked on the next button in the Find window.
D. Results is that the found text highlight color was "Grey" in the email message. What would be expected is the found text color to be "Gold".
Problem 2 - End of message foud text alert.
I read the initial description and found that this problem was misstated. So I am offering the following script to illustrate it:
A. In the find box select a word or combination of characters that does exist in the message.
B. Click on find button.
C. Listen for the audio alert advising there was no match.
D. Change the Find Box selection to a word or group of characters that occcurs multiple times in the message.
E. Click on the Next button in the Find text window.
F. Note that the find process stops at each occurence of the search characters. (as stated in problem 1 the highlight color is "Grey')
G. Keep on clicking the Find button. The result is that there is no end of message alert. Unlike the alert in step C, the find process automatically loops back to the first match and continues as long as the Next button is clicked. What would be expected is an end of search alert for both unfound and found conditions.
Regards,
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Change AE CC 2014.2 new Highlight color

Hi,
I like the new UI improvements, but the new Highlight-Color is cancer for my eyes and is more distracting than helpful.
Is there a way to change this?
Cheers - Michael

There are quite a few threads on this already - here and in the Premiere Pro forum.
Many people agree with you - me included. I find it so bad that I will be reverting back to the previous version prior to my next lengthy AE session.
I think an urgent patch is required. We can't wait until the next official update - or we'll all have migrated to a competitor's product
