Lack of sharpness in text and colors

Recently I have noticed text and colors appear to have faded, not dramatically but discernible nonetheless. I have adjusted brightness (in displays) with no effect so I wonder if someone can suggest another route ... or is it symptomatic of other problems.

Sorry. Resolved. Universal Access. I just hadn't found it.

  • Dynamic Text and color changes......

    In some cheap website creating software I have you can turn
    text into rich text and change the color of individual words inside
    the same text box full of text. Is there anyway to do that in flash
    CS3?

    Thanks clbeech I actually found an easy way to do it. For
    your dynamic text box you can click the "html" box in the
    properties window for that text box. (Its a little square box with
    this <> inside it and its just to the right of the singleline
    and multiline box drop down.) You can then select the text you want
    to edit inside the text box and change its font/size/color as well
    as turn it into a dynamic link and it will do so without affecting
    the rest of the text in your text box.

  • JTextArea formatting text and colors

    Hi,
    I have a jTextArea and I need to wrap line, how can I do?
    I want to change color of a selected text, how?
    Thanks to all!

    Refer to the Java Tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/textarea.html for more info on how to use the JTextArea. JTextArea only allow you to display plain text, so if you want the selected text to change color, you will have to use the JEditorPane (or its subclass JTextPane). Refer to http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html for more info.

  • Load text and color into text box

    I am trying to create code that will load text from an external file and change the background of a text box when a button is clicked.
    When I compile the movie and click the button some text appears in the text box but not the text I was extecting and there is no color change.
    The output panel displays the following message
    "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts"
    So far I am just trying to get the blue button to work
    This is the code
    Thanks

    function displayText(e:Event):void{
              colorText.text = loader.data;

    As far as the text goes, embed the font for the textfield ti get rid of the warning.
    If you are not getting the background color to change, did you give your textfield a background to begin with?  The code you have to change its color will work if it has a background.

  • What gives the best contrast and sharpness in text and reading documents on macbook pro with Hi-res screen, glossy or anti glare ?

    HI,
    I consider buying a MacBook pro 15 with hi-res screen.
    My primary use is text editing and document reading (primarily Word).
    I want as good as possible "clearness" or is it called contrast, leat blurry looking text.
    Anyone who has any experience and/or opinion on this.
    Thanks for your answer.
    Terje

    If I were you, I would opt for the high-res/anti-glare option - it's only $100US now: back when I purchased my MBP in March of 2012, it was a $250 option which I just couldn't afford. Now, looking at the new models side-by-side, I wish that I had ponyed up the $250 for the HR/AG option.
    I'm certain that you won't regret it - the people that have the option seem to be tickled pink with it. These days I'm using a (glossy) 17" Apple Thunderbolt Display 90% of the time in a semi-dark room. But I find that my MBP with the glossy screen is simply unusable when outdoors or in bright backlighting.
    Go for it...

  • Fonts and Colors

    Ok in iChat I have a certain font and blue font color for my text. Unfortunattly a lot of my friends do not have Macs, so they don't use iChat. When I type a message in the typing box it starts out black. But when I send it I see blue, but my friends see the default text and black color. So then I tried going to the Text and Color editor thing. And each time I was going to send a message I changed the color to blue. When I did that, while I was typing I could see blue text instead of black. But when I sent it my friends could still only see black, but I still saw blue.
    So is it because they have windows that iChat can't convert the text and colors or something? If there is no way now, are they any high hopes that there will in the future?

    Hi,
    AS far as I can make out AIM displays the Text is Black and ascribes a Colour to the name of the person who sent the message. I don't think this colour even has anything to do with the iChat Bubble or Font Colour even if you change the colour of the text as you type (which you can also do).
    Proteus a Mac app can display messages like iChat can (in Coloured bubbles and coloured text).
    Unfortunately it seems that it is no longer available even if you do have a Mac.

  • I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

    I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6).  You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
    It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
    So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    In my html document (Resume.html)  I have this code, at the top:
    <link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
    Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me.  As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
    a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
    b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
    c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
    Any help is always appreciated.
    Peter A. Forkes

    You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
    In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
    change
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    to
    a:link, a:visited {
    color: #333;
    text-decoration: none;

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • How do I save a font and it's size and color in a text box as a default

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI for Mac and can't figure out how to set a default font for text boxes. I don't seem to be able to access the properties to set the default by highlighting a properly formatted text box and pressing ctrl-e. Is there another key combination for Mac? Or another method for setting defaults? I'm finding I have to set the font, size and color every time I open a new Acrobat doc and want to add a text box. Also, the choices are not even saving with the document. The fonts already typed save correctly, but on reopening, I have to reset if I want to add more text.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Tom Carlson

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a Logitech G700S Mouse with a right click button, so right-clicking isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the I can't seem to find the menu to "Use Current Properties as New Defaults." I may not have described the problem correctly.
    I am adding text to a pre-existing pdf document, not creating a form. I would like to be able to set a default font, size and color for text, so that when I enter text in a text box onto the pdf document, it has those properties. If I select the text box that is properly formatted (not the text, but the box) and right click, the only choices I get are:
    Cut
    Copy
    Delete
    Select All
    Deselect All
    Arrange>
    Edit Using>
    So I gues my question is if one can even format a text box as a default or a "style" or the like. I tried setting a default font, size and color for "comments" also in the Acrobat preferences, but even that didn't seem to stick when I opened a new doc. This all may just be a Mac / Mavericks interaction flaw. Anybody have any other ideas?

  • How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
    I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • [ALV] Text in color and bold

    Hello,
    I have an ALV Grid and I would like one cell, with text color in red and in bold.
    I'm in OOP's with CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
    I've tried like that :
    CONSTANTS :
                c_bold(4)           TYPE x       VALUE '00000020',
                c_red(4)            TYPE x       VALUE '00000017'.
    *-LAYOUT
      fe_layout-cwidth_opt = c_x.
      fe_layout-no_rowmark = c_x.
      fe_layout-info_fname = 'ROW_COLOR'.
      fe_layout-stylefname = 'CELLS_STYLES'.
    *-OUTTAB
      clear we_style.
      we_style-fieldname = 'XXXXX'.
      we_style-style = c_bold.
      we_style-style = c_red.
      insert we_style into table we_outtab-cells_styles.
    It doesne't work. The bold put the text color in black.
    There is a solution ?
    Thank you.

    Hello Bernard
