Light colored text and highlighting is very difficult to see.

Light colored text and highlighting is very difficult to see.  How can I make it darker or more pronounced?  It seems to get darker if I push the screen as far back as it goes.  MacBook 5.2 OSX 10.6.8

A problem for many of us.
You can change the highlight colour in System Preferences > Appearance
For awkward choices of text colour, you can either zoom to see it larger (hold 'ctrl' and scroll forward), or reverse the colours by holding dwn the ctrl, opt and command keys and typing 8 (⌃⌥⌘8). The same key sequence will toggle it off again.

  • When I phone people can hear me without any problem, but I hear very very bad. The sounds is metallic and it is very difficult to understand. Have anyone idea of what is it about. I guess is not a software problem but I am not an expert. Thanks in advance

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Printing light-colored text from a Web page

    On a Web page that contains some light-colored text (such as the Apple Store MacBook models page <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm= browse&node=home/shop_mac/family/macbook&sf=wHF2F2PHCCCX72KDY>), is it possible to have the light gray text print darker? When I print such pages on my color laser printer, that gray text is almost too faint to see. Thanks for any pointers.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Depends mostly on the printer you are using, which will determine the settings available. In the Print dialog box, click on the pop-up menu that shows as Copies & Pages. Look for options that deal with color. For example, an inkjet printer I have shows a Color Management setting, with an option for "pure black and white" - that setting would print the light gray text as black. On the other hand, for an HP Color Laser printer, the Color Options doesn't provide any settings that are useful for what you want to do (even under the advanced options). The best I could find was in ColorSync (that choice will be present for all printers), choose "Lightness Decrease" from the Quartz Filter pop-up menu. That seems to darken the printed gray text a little bit.
    Hope this helps...

  • Just bought an ipad and it is very difficult to insert the plug to charge it?

    just bought an Ipad and it is very difficult to insert the plug to charge it, is this normal?

    I assume you bought the iPad 2. It is a little more "difficult" to insert the connector on the new version due to the design - the curve and the angle if I remember reading correctly. I have the original. It should not be "very difficult" Make sure there is nothing impeding the connection. Check the connector cable and the dock on the iPad and make sure there is nothing there that could be causing a problem.
    Inserting the USB into the adapter and then plugging into the wall socket should not be difficult at all if that is what you mean.

  • I cannot recieve all of my texts and it is very frustrating!!!!

    I have only had my phone about a month and I am ready to throw it out the window. My text messages don't come from all of my contacts and it is very frustrating. Ready to go back to my iphone with another provider. Any tips?

    The first thing you should do since you switched from an iPhone to android is to make sure your iMessage account is de-registered for your line. You should be able to do that at the following link.
    Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support
    You say you also changed your number. It is possible some of your contacts are still sending messages to your old number which would explain why you are not getting messages from them.
    Additionally, since you have changed your number, I don't know how well the steps Apple provides for deregistering your iMessage account will work. You could also try texting "stop" to 48369 from your new phone to deregister if the steps provided at Apple do not work on your new number.

  • New iOS 7 is very difficult to see screens. How can you adjust contrast?

    I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7. How can I improve the contrast on all the screens and apps. Most screens are all white or very light with smaller text and I can barely see anything, especially when out in the sun.  Is there a setting to change or a way to improve the contrast? 

    Settings -> General-> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast
    You can also turn on the setting for Bold Text. Those two options should help at least somewhat.
    Regards.

  • Light Color Text When Using My Epson

    For some reason, when I print on my Epson CX4200 the text is very light. This is especially problematic when printing pages documents. The text is ligh grey and hard to read. How do I print black text?
    NOTE: Other than text, the printng seems to be fine.

    I don't want to put words in the mouth of others but I believe (hope) spacesuiter was suggesting that you use the Black setting only for the trouble shooting purpose of determining whether that would cause the printer to render pure black. You should otherwise only have to select that setting if you have a color doc that you *do not* want to print in color.

  • Buttons can only be pressed below the text and highlight is never visible

    So I'm running Photoshop 14.2.1 and Encore CS6 and no matter what I do whether it's dragging my buttons in from the Library or creating my own buttons in photoshop ever button in preview mode is only clickable when th curser is below it and not actually on the text itself and the highlight is never visible.
    I'm not sure what I can add past that, my resolution of my Encore project is 1920x1080, my image size and canvas size in photoshop are the same. I have a presentation tomorrow and I need to be able to present my videos properly!!
    Thank you very much in advance for ANY help I REALLY appreciate it!

    I found out what it was, I didn't keep a proper aspect ratio in photoshop so when I previewed it in Encore everthing but the text moved down. I believe the bad aspect ratio was 1.09 then I switched it to 0.91 and then all the buttons were where they were supposed to be.

  • Opening and closing folders very difficult while organizing projects

    Alo,
    after importing my iPhoto Library to Aperture, I'm working through the mass list of iPhoto Events, now projects.
    Each time I move a project from the iPhoto Library folder, to a folder that I've created, the very quick spring loaded action takes over, and opens the folder I'm planning on dropping the project in, which, while useful in dealing with nested folders, this is not a preferred behavior for me right now.
    Is there any way to adjust the spring loaded folder behavior in Aperture 3
    Is there any way of opening/closing those folders quickly via the keyboart/any way other than clicking triangles.
    Any workarounds to avoid having folders open when moving projects around?
    I'm moving several projects at once, and will continue to do that to minimize my pain.
    it wont be a huge problem once I get everything mostly organized, but I've still got a ways to go, so it's worth asking about.
    thanks!

    Use the Apple Key, to select two or more Projects, to be merged in to one. Then go to File>Merge Projects. Allan

  • Yahoo is dominating my home page I didnt request it and it is very difficult to maintain Firefox during an even brief session

    Yahoo web site has established itself as my homepage. It is persistent and tenacious and does not allow Firefox access to the screen at all.
    The yahoo toolbar was difficult to remove as it did not show in the uninstall programs in the control panel

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • I have wondows 7 and it is very difficult for firefox to open. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    every time I try to open fire fox I get firefox is not resonding and I can't get it to load anything. I then close the screen out and try to open it again. most of the time it take ab out 5 to 6 times to load. today it won't load at all

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Can I restore the previous OS - the new interface is very difficult to see and use!

    Hello, I updated my iPhone operating system to 7.0.2 and now find my phone virtually unusable because of the ridiculous white/grey/red interface - I can hardly see it! 
    My iPhone has been invaluable to me, but if I can't sort out the interface issue I'll have to use a different product.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Very difficult to see paths when working with pen tool - Mac

    Photoshop CS5 - Working with the pen tool is something I do a lot but it is such a pain because I can barely make the lines out sometimes.  It can get so bad that my eyes hurt.  I found some advice about adding an adjustment layer and changing the level.  This kind of works but I find it difficult to believe that they can't be made more visable.  Turning off the anti-aliasing hasn't seemed to have made any difference either.
    Is CS6 any better?
    Thanks

    I cannot understand why Photoshop is at version 13.x and there isn't a control for the user to adjust the path colour and brightness.
    The thread does not address the whole issue but explains why the bahaviour changed on Mac:

  • I am legally blind but have suffient sight in one eye to be able to see most things.  I truly wish that the iphone would have the facility to permanently enlarge the Apps icons.  Also the Contacts file as its very difficult to see on screen.

    Does anyone think Apple will ever include permanently large App Icons and Contact in larger fonts??

    Perhaps the iPad is a better device for you, although such small tools are not the best for those who cannot see well.
    As for what Apple may or may not do in the future is speculation and that is forbidden on the forums. You can send your request to Apple at Apple Feedback.

  • Numeric Control - Text and Background Color changes when operating inc/dec arrows

    Hi,
    I'm developing an application that has a panel with black background and green or red numbers. I've added numeric controls and configured the text color and text background color attributes accordinglingy. I set the numeric control to hot or validate  control mode and show the inc/dec arrows, since I want to be able to incr/decr the numbers.
    The problem is that when I run the application and I hit the inc/dec arrows, then the colors inside the numeric control frame become inverted: the black background becomes white and the green number becomes cyan. I've created a callback function assosicated with the numeric control and tried forcing the text and background color, in the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED section, using the SetCtrlAttrribute() function, but to no avail. Also added ProcessDrawEvents didn't help.
    When I mouse click again outside the numeric control, then it reverts back to its original colors (green text, black background).
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this ?
    I want it to keep its original colors at all times, even when I'm clicking the incr/decr arrows...
    Kind regards,
    pgriep
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, now I see what's happening.
    The effect you are seeing is a resul of standard numeric control behaviour combined with the black bcakground: when you use arrows to increment/decrement a numeric control its value will be automatically highlighted; on the default background you'll see the white area and figures highlighted in black (white numbers on balck background). If you set the background to black the system will automatically change the colors used to highlight the text, and that's what you're seeing.
    By the way, this does not happens if you use up and down keys on the keyboard: text is not highlighted so colors are not changing.
    Additionally, this is not only valid for numerics: see the behaviour of the string controls on the bottom of your panel when you tab up to them. This effect does not happen on controls set as indicator like the big clock in the upper part of the panel.
    The only way I can see to overcome this behaviour is to hide control built-in arrows and create your own up and down buttons with which you can manipulate the numeric control. I am attaching a modified version of your project with buttons on the left numeric; sorry for the poor aesthetic:  I have used some arrow icons I had on my disk, you may want to create your own arrows with the colors and shape you prefer.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
