Messed up color menu bar

Hello everybody,
Yesterday I was googling because I had a problem with time machine displaying wrong dates on my old backups, I found this command to copy/paste on terminal which I did.
rm ~/library/preferences/.Global* ~/library/preferences/byhost/.Global*
That command fixed my problem with time machine but created another one, that is that my menu bar is color blue (before it used to be graphite) and after trying everything I could think of nothing seems to make it back to graphite.
Those anyone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Mental note,
That command reset all my preferences. The thing that was causing the menu bar to be blue was that I had "Translucent menu bar" checked on System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver.
In case anyone else ran into this to save him/her some time.

IE messing up my menu bar?

I have a horizontal Spry menu bar which works beautifully in opera, safari, firefox, google chrome... but in internet explorer, it just won't work. The drop down part of the menu is appearing right at the side of the page, miles away from its parent. Can't post the CSS and HTML because am doing the website for someone else, but does anyone have any idea why IE does this? I've checked and double checked all the javascript, CSS, HTML... but to no avail. Besides, that doesn't make sense, as if I'd made I mistake, surely it would show up in other browsers?
urgh, I have never hated internet explorer so much as I do today...

The original Spry files, that is those that have not been touched by budding web developers, work extremely well in all browsers!

Without seeing any code, I am safe in saying that your problem is caused by your messing around of the CSS file.

If you haven't made a mistake, then I believe that we cannot help you, even if we are privy to the code.

Because IE is used by more than 85% of all available browsers, I think you will have to learn to un-hate IE.
I hope this helps.

Cache Cleaner ruined my menu bar, no longer able to screen shot

not sure if anyone is familiar with this application "Yosemite Cache Cleaner". i just started using it. tried out the light scan and auto restored my computer then messed my top menu bar... well its off screen i can not see the time or the wifi icon it almost looks like the other half of the menu bar is on another screen by HDMI but in this case its not. i have nothing connected to this computer but my midi controller and a pre amp (always) anyways . i have dropbox and g-drive installed i can see those but any notification that pops up i can only see half of it. so of course i contacted this company immediately. i get a response back they are asking me to "screen shot my problem" so i try to screen shot and nothing happens, my screen flashes once and then the more i tried, the more screen flashed with an error sound. can anyone please help me solve this problem?

First, delete the fake "utility," which is a scam. Caches don't need to be "cleaned."
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Everytime i create a template it recks my menu bar!

I created a css style sheet that would help me edit some things on my template that i have. I attached the css sheet to my template and have put not one thing in my style sheet yet. I was working with controlling the shape of my box on the div tags on the template. Then i notice that when i previewed my template in explorer my drop down menu bar at the top of the page was messed up. It move the drop down menu bar from horizontal to vertical. The background shading of the menu bar is still horizontal. I deleted my template1.dwt file and started over and created a new template from a HTML file that i used to make the template in the first place. It did the same thing as soon as dreamweaver moved the template file to the template folder. So i deleted the css style sheet that i create to try to controll the div tags and that did not work. So i created a new template file called Testtemplate.dwt and it works fine when it is under my html folder in my site. As soon as i go to template menu and create a template from this testtemplate.dwt file and it move it to the template folder it messes up the menu bar again. So i deleted the Templates folder in my site and started over. I created my fist template and named it template1.dwt and it recreated the Templates folder again and low and behold it is still messed up. It is like there is some sort of css or file controlling the Template folder and messing up the menu bar but i am new to dreamweaver and dont know where to look to stop this from happning. All the files or HTML pages attached to this template work fine but i am scared to update any content from this template as it may mess up all my HTML pages that use this template. Any help would be great!

Hello,
This is Jason with Mindspark Interactive Network Customer Support.
I have reviewed your system details and it appears as though you do not have the My Web Search toolbar installed.
I believe your issue stems from your search queries being redirected.
To resolve this first I would like you to click the down arrow of the search box in the upper right hand corner. Confirm here that My Web Search has not been set as your default search. If it was your default search simply click Google in the drop down menu.
If this does not resolve your issue it may be because your browsers search settings were not reset when you uninstalled the My Web Search toolbar.

PS CS5 messes up menu bar; dialog boxes distort during drag; etc

I'm having weird problems with Photoshop CS5. I'd love help, or even tips for how to frame the question when searching for help.
Here are the symptoms:
- After starting PS, if I open any dialog box and then close it, after closing the PS menu bar is corrupted -- it looks like a single row of pixels is missing through the File, Edit, Image, etc words, and at the right end of the menu bar, the three control icons are overlain with Windows control icons. Both these problems can be seen in the screen capture image below.
- When a dialog box is open, if I drag it around, it gets clipped as repainting tries to keep up with the mouse. It's always rectangular, but edges flicker off to varying depths as it repaints to move. When the mouse stops, the repaint works and it looks fine. While moving, the faster the movement, the worse the effect.
- When using tools such as Lasso select, the movement feedback (the selection gray line) lags a few millimeters or more, depending on speed.
To me it looks like an application + video driver problem, but all s/w is up to date. Messing with OpenGL setting (Edit->Preferences) doesn't affect things; it acts the same with OpenGL on or off, basic, normal, or advanced. My video card is displayed correctly in the Edit->Preference: Performance box.
The first problem (menu bar corruption) is obviously least interfering and I believe has been with me longest. The latter two problems make PS somewhat difficult to use, and I believe showed up in the last few months (since the last time I used PS intensively, about 8 months ago). I can't recall for sure, but I think I installed updates to both PS and ATI drivers in the last 8 months (ie., so both could be suspects).
Any ideas what is wrong, or what to search for? What would be a good search query for this sort of problem set?
Does this seem to be an Adobe problem, or ATI, or who?
Here's my set-up:
- Dell Inspiron 580 with 6 GB RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 5450
- Windows 7 64-bit
- PS CS5 standard edition
Thanks for help and/or ideas!

I don't know about pre-packaged themes, but what I do is along these lines:
Minimize Chrome on the Desktop
If you have a sharp monitor, good eyes, and don't like that Microsoft has made all the useless chrome and border space around everything larger in the later versions of Windows, you'll likely want to minimize it to make more room to do real work...
·    Right-click on Desktop - Personalize, ensure the Windows 7 Aero theme is selected
·    Choose Window Color – Advanced appearance settings...
·    Active Title Bar item to size 17.
·    Menu item to Size 15, font Segoe UI size 8.
·    Border Padding item to size 0.
·    Scroll Bar item to size 16.
·    Caption Buttons item to size 16.
·    Icon Spacing (Horizontal) item to size 27.
·    Icon Spacing (Vertical) item to size 41.
You can experiment with these settings to find a balance you like.
Hope this helps!

Illustrator bug- menu bar all messed up, and it keeps crashing

I have the weirdest bug on my trial version- the menu bar on top appears with $$$ signs and all messed up, and crashes constantly. I tried to delete and reinstall illustrator (I downloaded a trial version of the basic creative suite with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, but had the bug only on Illustrator. I even reinstalled Leopard (and in the first installation it was a brand new iMac), which also did not help, so I have no idea what to do. Has anyone else had the problem or knows what to do?
Thanks!
Dotan

i had continual illustrator cs4 freezes in relation to the menus and some file types as well. (win 7 prof 64 bit)
But I found it it worked in a newly created user profile fine.
After having shelled out 3500.- eur for the masters colletion, I was rather dissapointed to find that i have to dig into my pocket for support when the software breaks. The solution is pretty simple assumabley known and could have been answered in two lines of text instead of the useless prefab answers i got.
But first I have to join the general gripe about the stability of illustrator and flash in paticular. It is obvious that each product is created by different teams who do not share common standards. Inexplicable.
Quark never cared about their customers while they were market leader either, remember that, Adobe?
Their frustration became your success. It might pay to remember that part of your history.
I solved the problem by replacing the entire settings folder with the one from the functional profile
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings
save any custom color sets, etc first.
three days of hair pulling for a 12 second solution.
Thanks, Adobe!
My motivation to pay another 1200.- for an upgrade is somehow shrinking very, very quickly.

Spry Menu Bar Colors and Pictures in Dreamweaver

I'm having some trouble changing the color of the spry menu
bars that I created in Dreamweaver. Whenever I preview them in a
browser they show up as grey with black text. What I want them to
show up as is blue with white text before the mouse goes over them
and highlights them. When the mouse goes over them I want them to
still be blue with white text and also my drop down menu options as
well.
What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and if
there is what css code is required for me to change? I'm unfamiliar
with how css code works.
I'm also having some problems with copying and pasting
pictures and editing them too. what software can i download that is
free that i can use to edit my pictures.
I have the trial version mind you and I'm trying to get this
finished as fast as I can.

> What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and

> code is required for me to change?
Bring up your page and adjust the CSS in the
SpryMenuHorizontal.css or
SpryMenuVertical.css page that is attached. All the color
values are in
there.
>I'm unfamiliar with how css code works.
You need to change this. Without a thorough working knowledge
of HTML and
CSS (at the very least), you will never have great success in
either
Dreamweaver or web design. I first learned web design using
Notepad, typing
every single tag, and I am soo grateful now that I had that
solid coding
experience .. without it, this program would be very hard to
master.

Free? I'm not sure any more .. you can use either the 30 day
trial of
Fireworks or Photoshop (Fireworks would probably be easier to
pick up) but
if you're going to do a lot of this, you need to get some
good tools and
learn them well.

Spry Menu Bar link colors not consistent

I have a horizontal Spry menu bar set up with 4 items in it.
The first item is the Home link and does not have a submenu, but
the other 3 items do. What I want is when you roll over the main 4
items the text link color will be purple (#583399). When an item
has a submenu the rollover text link on the submenu links will be
green (#89b11a).
My current code almost works, but the problem I am having is
that the Home link
without the submenu changes to a green color instead of
purple like the other 3 main links. If I add a test submenu to the
Home link then it turns purple like the other links. How can I get
the Home link to change to purple like the others without having a
submenu attached to it?
Here is my html code that refers to the menu:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="index.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">ABOUT</a>
<ul>
<li><a
href="services.html">services</a></li>
<li><a
href="bios.html">bios</a></li>
<li><a
href="news.html">news</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="work.html" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu"
>WORK</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="design.html">design</a>
</li>
<li><a
href="advertising.html">advertising</a></li>
<li><a href="casestudies.html">case
studies</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="contact.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">CONTACT</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">.</a></li>
<li><a
href="location.html">location</a></li>
<li><a
href="opportunities.html">opportunities</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Here is the Spry CSS code that pertains to the links:
/* Menu items are a light gray text with padding and no text
decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have green text
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus
color: #89b11a;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover,
color: #583399;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
color: #583399;
And
here
is a link to my test file so you can see what I am talking
about.
Thanks for any help and let me know if you need anything else
to help with it.

Anyone??

Is there a way to change the color of the Menu Bar (Snow Leopard)?

Without using an external program, that is.
I know you can change it with an external program, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify it from within OS X's files themselves?
A similar question might be asked about the Dock, or Snow Leopard's Exposé.
     All modifications are done by navigating to: Mac OS Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/
          Modify Exposé: expose-window-selection-big.png (for non-minimized windows), expose-window-selection-small.png (for minimized windows)
          Modify the color of the Dock: scurve-l.png, scurve-m.png, scurve-sm.png, scurve-xl.png
          Modify the color of the divider between apps and folders on the Dock: separatorstraight-horizontal.png, separatorstraight.png
          Modify the icon in the Dock when Stacks are activated: pileArrow.png, pileLeftArrow.png, pileRightArrow.png

I agree that major OS upgrades (e.g. Snow Leopard to Lion) will probably change things back to normal, and I don't entirely trust external programs to change things for me.
I'm going to stick around with Snow Leopard for a while though, so I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to directly change the Menu Bar files themselves. The aforementioned modifications are just changes to the Dock's standard PNG files, so it's relatively easy to alter its color/design (backing up the original Dock.app just in case).

How do I change the color of the triangle in a menu bar?

Hi,
I have a question that might seem very rudimentary...How can I change the color of the little downward-pointing triangle on my menu bar items that have sub-menus? Specifically, I want those triangles to be invisible when the cursor is not over the menu bar. Right now it is black and changes to white. I'm running Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac if that makes any difference. Is there a CSS rule for this somewhere that I am not seeing?
Many thanks for any help!

Those are images, so you will need to change the image.

In Yosemite, How do I change the background color of menu bar, dock and sidebar?

Right now my background for the Menu Bar, Dock, etc is RED. I'd like to change it to something more subtle.
Anyone know how?
Does it relate to the desktop picture I have? or ???

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

How I can access "Convert Colors..." button in Adobe Acrobat XI using applescript, or add this button to menu bar?

Hi, I'm writing applescript to automate Adobe Acrobat XI, I'm missing only one line of code - opening dialog window of "Convert Colors..." tool. It was easy in Acrobat 9 but some reason it's complicated in Acrobat XI.
Is there an option to add "Convert Colors..." as menu item into menu bar?

Thanks Gilad D. I created JS file with simple code
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Convert Colors", cParent:"View", cExec:'app.execMenuItem("ColorConversionMenuItem");'});
and I added it into acrobat (USER/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0/JavaScripts/).
I enabled menu items JavaScript execution privileges in Acrobat Preferences.
Now I can open "Convert Colors" from main menu bar, and create applescript which do the same.
