Messages background color not saving

I have about 15 computers and we use Messages as our in-house chat. We have different groups/areas/rooms assigned different background colors (it makes quick identification of where it's coming from easier). But we have an issue where some computers will randomly revert back to "Automatic", which is just grey.
They are all updated, and I've changed color, closed Messages, and restarted all of them. What's odd is that, after a restart, the color will be saved, but then randomly revert on its own.
Any thoughts on why, or how to fix it?

Hi,
In Mavericks the info is stored in the com.apple.ichat.plist in ~/Library/Preferences like it always was.
However in Mavericks the Sandboxing used to protect apps uses a "Read and Write route" as it were, of ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Preferences and then an Alias to the Original.
There is also some link to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences and some of the Original .plists in here that seems to relate to this new Helper app and Messages.
I also find the colour of my Balloons (Background) does not always stick but tend to notice after I get a Message after  start up of the app (I had not pinned it down to being random).
I have not been able to pin down the fact something is not Writing to the .plist properly.

  • ECL Viewer 7 background color not saving - proper registry entry?

    Hi,
    This is with regards to ECL viewer 7 in SAP GUI 7.20. I want to be able to save the personal settings for background color to white since it does not save for some reason.
    I have found threads such as this: Personal Settings (Options) for ECL Viewer
    which tell me to add a registry key "Background" to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/VCT_Retained/6.1/Common/de/ImageViewUtils to store the settings. However the version in the thread mentioned is for ECL viewer 5 and 6.
    We tried to change the "6.1" to "7.0" and "7.1" (since it was patched with patch 1) and "de" to "en" and putting the key there with no luck. I have tried searching SAP notes but have found none relevant to ECL 7.0. Does anybody have information on how we can save background color for ECL 7.x?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nico

    Hi Nico,
    we solved it with this key:
    HKCU\Software\Siemens\PLMVis_Retained\8.2\Common\de\ImageViewUtils
    Background DWORD 00FFFFFF

  • Sent messages are sometimes not saved

    Hello,
    This is a follow up to this thread, which was never answered and is now archived:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2213207
    In Mail.app, using IMAP, my sent messages are sometimes not saved. I'd say about 1 in 20 never appear in my Sent folder. The recipients always receive these messages, so it's not a delivery problem. I just don't retain a copy of them. This is very frustrating if I send a cost estimate to a client, or a detailed description of a technical problem that I need to refer back to later.
    I've rebuilt my mailboxes and I've checked my IMAP folders on the server via a webmail interface, and the messages are not there.
    Has anyone else experienced this? It's hard to believe I'm the only one, but it's hard to search for this problem because my search results are always full of people who have lost or can't save -any- of their sent messages. My problem is intermittent and random.
    Thanks,
    -Arlo

    I have a similar occasional problem with an IMAP account using a Comcast Business Class Exchange server. I use Mail and my iPhone to access the account; I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop but my "sent messages" issue predates the latest release.
    The first time I noticed this issue I thought, "I'll just access my mail via the Comcast web portal. It'll be in the 'sent' folder there." No dice. The "sent" messages simply never stay on the server, yet my recipients get them.
    It's distressing. First, the solution would appear to be a switch to a MS mail client, which I swore off years ago. Second, I rely on having a "sent" message as a record. I switched off IDLE per your suggestion, Ernie, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as the others here. Please keep this thread alive. I'm hopeful that this can be resolved.

  • Browser Background Color Not Drawing Completely

    On the web page I recently uploaded, the page does not draw the browser background color completely when it loads. The browser background color fills in to the bottom of the sized page, below there it is white.
    1. Modern Frame 2.0 - Blank
    2. Set Browser Background color to Blue
    3. Page background color either the same Blue or none at all. I've tested both ways.
    4. Manual resize always allows the browser background color to fill in properly.
    5. Footer on and off. Doesn't make a difference.
    After uploading to the web, clearing all my caches, it continues to fill in incompletely.
    What do you suggest I do to solve this?
    Thank you - Fabe

    Give us the URL for the site so we can examine it first hand. With out looking at the site you should change the theme to White theme which does not use files for background and therefore will not restrict the amount of space the background takes up. That's just a guess though.

  • Layer Background color not support on AP Element

    Hi I am new to dreamweaver. I just started learning how to
    use it, and I can't figure out why when I am validating the
    browser, I kept on getting a message that the layer background
    color is not supported in the AP element. I looked at my code and
    it seems fine. All I did was just insert the AP layer and I change
    the background color. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Thank you. That's telling you that layer-background-color is
    NOT supported
    in those browsers (in fact, it's invalid HTML, being
    supported only in IE5
    and earlier). You should use CSS to specify colors, not the
    Property
    inspector, and you will avoid such traps. In fact, in CS3,
    when you use the
    Property inspector, the proper CSS is written in the
    stylesheet for you.

  • Div background color not showing in Internet Explorer 8 and before

    My Footer div is not showing the background color (supposed to be black...)  in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier.  It's assuming the body color instead.  Also the border color on top of the 'bubbles' that run across the page is wrong (supposed to be blue)    Is this just because Internet Explorer 8 and earlier did not support div background and border colors yet, or is there a work-around??  Or maybe I did something wrong?

  • Why is the background color not applied in one case?

    Hi,
    I'm using RH 7 and WebHelp.
    I apply a TableHeading style to the first row of my tables. The TableHeading style is supposed to fill the cells of the first row with a background color of blue, and the text is in white. It works fine except for one table. I think TableHeading style was not applied in the Word document when I imported this topic. I tried to apply the TableHeading style to the first row, and it says it is applied in the HTML. But, the background blue does not fill the cells.
    Here is what I am trying to achieve:
    Here is my problem table:
    I can see in the HTML that the background color is not present in the code. Here is the code for the example that is correct:
    <p class=TableHeading>Chapter</td>
    <td style="border-left: none; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: solid #000000 1.0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px;
              width: 279.4pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; background-color: #003399;"
    bgcolor=#003399 width=279.4pt>
    <p class=TableHeading>Description</td></tr>
    <tr><td style="x-cell-content-align: top; border-left: solid #000000 1.0px; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: none;
                       border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px; width: 182.85pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
                       padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px;
                       padding-bottom: 0px;" valign=top width=182.9pt>
    Here is the code for my problem table:
    <p class=TableHeading>Activity</td>
    <td style="border-left: none; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: solid #000000 1.0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px;
              width: 168.0pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;" width=168pt>
    <p class=TableHeading>Keyboard Shortcut</td></tr>
    <tr style="x-cell-content-align: center;" valign=middle>
    <td style="width: 374px; x-cell-content-align: top; border-left: solid #000000 1.0px; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px;

              padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px;

    text-autospace: none;
    font-size: 10.0pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #ffffff;

    margin-left: 3pt;
    margin-right: 3.0pt;
    line-height: 120%;
    margin-top: 0pt;
    margin-bottom: 0pt;
    LI.p-TableHeading {

    font-weight: bold;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
    line-height: 120%;
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Julie
     I don't understand why the TableHeading style is not applying the background color for the one table. I'm guessing I could just add it to the code using the HTML editor. However, I wasn't sure if that was the best way to fix this problem or if I would create another problem.

    Hi Willam,
    Thanks for your answer, and I will go ahead and add the background color to the problem table.
    However, I am still puzzled as to why the background color is applied to the cells in the other tables and not the problem table. I'm not sure what I did to cause the problem - how I applied the TableHeading to the table cell in one case and not the other. Any ideas how I can avoid this problem?
    I will not use the Word documents going forward and will only make changes with the RH editor.
    Thanks again,
    Julie

  • BUG(?): background color not in print profile

    When printing a photo from Lightroom 3 with paper background color this color is not corrected for printing, although I print with icc, print profile from Spyderprint. The photo itself is corrected. This means that the paper backround is colored instead of gray, for example.
    Is this a bug? I think so, because I there is no way I can change this.
    Thanks

    Hello CameraHans (are you Dutch, by the way?)
    The whole border or sheet has a color cast. The photo itself has not. Both are in greys, so I will do as you suggested and look what happens when I do this in colors.
    I will insert 3 screenshots, 2 of the Lightroom environment, and 1 of the print preview, I used here the 'contour' to show the effect. You can very well see that the color of the border does not change at all, Thanks, Hans van den Berg

  • Skinning af|messages background color based on error type

    Hi,
    I would like to skin background color of af|messages body depending on the message type. For example, if message raised is of type "Warning", I would like the af|messages body's background color to be yellow. If message raised is "Error", then I would like the background to be orange and if the message is of type "Info", then I would like background to be green.
    I wonder if this is possible and if any has any idea on how to achieve this would be highly appreciated.

  • Printing background color - NOT

    I have someone who insists on sending me meeting minutes as email with a background color for the email. I'd like to turn off the background for printing, but can't figure how to do this.
    If I ask the printer to print B&W I get a grey background. In any case I'm wasting a lot of ink for no added value. (color or black)
    In Sys 9 I used to be able to ask the printer to just do B&W and no grey scale and would get this.
    Any thoughts?
    I'm using sys 10.3.9 and an Epson stylus color 740 with the default drivers from OS 10.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    It sounds like they're sending you HTML email. Before you print it, you'll have to change the format to plain text in your email program. You can easily do this in Mail Preferences.

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

    You want to set the JPanel color pink so it shows, because that's the topmost layer, not the frames. And the reason why if you add show() up there your String doesn't appear, is because you haven't created the JPanel that display that yet. You need to use show() after you've created all your components so they appear. Here's the modified code:
    import java.lang.* ;
    import java.awt.* ;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.* ;
    class SecTest {
    public static void main(String args[])
      JFrame MyFrame = new JFrame("MyFrame");
      //MyFrame.setBackground(Color.pink);
      // MyFrame.show();//if i put it only here..it doesnt show me the string
      MyFrame.setBounds(100,100,400,400);
      MyFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
          System.exit(0);
      Toolkit MyTk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
      Image MyImg = MyTk.getImage("not.gif"); // not.gif is in my current directory
      MyFrame.setIconImage(MyImg);
      Container MyContentPane = MyFrame.getContentPane();
      JPanel MyPanel = new JPanel();
      MyContentPane.add(MyPanel);
      MyContentPane.add(new NewPanel());
