My menu bar icons are no longer in color.  They are solid black.

The Icons on my menu bar following my last update all changed to black and I cannot find anything to change them back.  It just seemed odd that changing them to all black would be part of the update.  How would I change them back to their original colors?

All  menu bar icons are black by default in OS X Yosemite. No preference option is available to change the color.
Best.

  • All of my Macbook Air menu bar icons are gone!

    I was just playing some chess, and i closed my macbook and put it in my case, and when i got back to it to check the time, all of the icons were gone! I need my icons =\

    Mac's have OS X.  not iOS.  That said:
    Try moving your cursor to the bottom of the screen to see if the launch bar reappears.  You may have hidden it by accident.

  • How do i see menu bar icons if safari has so many headers

    Hi Everyone,
    when i have safari open i have File Edit View History Bookmarks Develop Window Help and Debug
    this means that many of my menu bar icons are missing eg Dropbox Evernote etc....
    Does anyone know if there is a way to cycle through the menu bar icons to get the one i want whilst safari or any other programme with many headings like this is open?
    Or can i drag and drop the menu bar items into some other order so they appear out the tail end ?
    Thanks
    A

    Just click on the Desktop and they will appear. Or don't use so many and get rid of Safari's Debug menu.

  • Why can't I organize third party menu bar icons?

    Is there a way I can organize third party menu bar icons? I know I can organize preinstalled Apple icons such as the battery indicator and time/date, but how do I order third party menu bar icons so that when I restart, they will stay in that order?

    Great question.
    And a related one: is there a utility to organize these? I have a ton and it would be cool to have a show/hide toggle or something.

  • Menu bar icons / clock (all but spotlight) are missing from menu bar

    I started woke my MacBook up from sleeping for a few days this morning and everything ordinarily on the right side of the menu bar save the spotlight menu has disappeared.
    I used to have a displays icon/menu, battery icon, network icon/menu, and clock displayed on the right side of the menu bar and they are now gone. If I go into the control panels for display, time, etc., to re-enable the menu bar icons, I can check the check box to display icon in menu bar, but the settings won't save! (Whenever I go back into the settings panel after making the change, the changes are reverted!)
    Its getting pretty frustrating. Anyone have any ideas please?

    Hello OCMacMerlin
    If the OnyX Rebuild services didn't or won't fix it, then have a look at the following:

  • I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

    Question
    I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

    The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.
    The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.

  • I can no longer rearrange menu bar icons..... Please help!

    Only the apple native icons (airport, BT, battery, etc) will allow to be arranged when I hold down the apple command key and drag. Previously, I could move norton AV, Weatherpop,etc. Is there a prefs file that I need to trash and rebuild or a 3rd party application that needs to be reinstalled in order for all of my menu bar icons to allow to be rearranged?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Because of the problems between Spotlight, SystemUIServer and menu bar extras I had to minimize the number I run, so I just use wClock, Scripts and Input menus. Since wClock is third party it can't be moved, I want it next to the Spotlight icon, then the Scripts menu and then the Input menu. The only way I found to get this to happen was remove everything, then turn on wClock, restart, then add the Apple ones. However, with depressing regularity after a shutdown the next restart would have them rearranged. I discovered that when that happened I could launch Activity Monitor and use it to force quit SystemUIServer, whereupon the arrangement would go back to what it had been. I would guess about 1 in 3 restarts it does not display in the order I had at shutdown.

    PS--I noticed in another post you have APE installed. Since you aren't using any of Unsanity's haxies I would uninstall it. The balance of menu extras is chancy enough as it is, the fewer things messing about with SystemUISever, the better.

  • Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

    All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
    It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
    Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
    My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
    Can anybody help?

    Have you run the Apple Hardware Test and also Repair Disk?
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
    Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number.
    Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.

  • Menu bar icons not showing up at retina resolution

    I've been experiencing this for a while now. Some menu bar icons will now show up at retina resolution on my Macbook Pro Retina.
    Here's a screenshot to show what I mean: http://d.pr/i/IUMM
    Only Twitter and Notification center are in retina resolution. If I relaunch them, some apps will show the icon at retina resolution (see here: http://d.pr/i/uMDu )
    Anyone have any idea what causes this or if it's been reported already?
    I'm on a 2012 MBPr 15" running OSX 10.9

    Have you solved this yet?  Perhaps trashing the preference file for the menubar would solve this?  Go to the preferences folder-- /Library/Preferences --and trash this file:
    com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

  • Menu bar icons keep moving/scrolling/flashing

    Not sure exactly how to describe the problem concisely.  The menu bar icons appear, then disappear, and then only two icons reappear (OpenDNS and VirusBarrier), then they disappear and the sequence starts again. 
    Computer is a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard and is up to date.  Thinking that it might be simply that I had too many icons for the real estate on my smallish monitor, I tried removing menu icons to make room by unticking their boxes in some of their system preferences and also be dragging them off the menu bar with command-drag, but problem will not go away. Rebooting did not solve the problem either. I have also repaired permissions.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Corrupted .plist file.
    Get yourself OnyX for OS X, it will come in handy for that and other things that go bump in the night.

  • Tool/Menu bar icons not active - Acrobat in BROWSER

    I have installed the SP1 update of windows 7.  I have the latest version of Acrobat 10. I also have the latest version EXPLORER (9) & FIRE FOX (4).  The PDF file comes into the BROWSER & the Acrobat icons (print, save) show up on the tool/menu bar but are not active.  The commands are active with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.
    Also, links to other web sites (URL's) within the PDF document are not active.  ie. Does not LINK.
    If I force ACROBAT to open as an independent program everything works OK.

  • 10.9.1 Menu Bar Icons Hidden

    Hello Guys,
    After I updated to 10.9.1 my Menu Bar Icons like, WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound, all are hidden. Only if I take pointer and click, I get to see the icon. Its trouble to seek by clicking blank space to find out icons.
    I searched through settings, and couldn't find anything to fix this.
    Thanks a lot in advance!!

    Thanks a lot Barney!!

  • Menu bar icons slow to appear on startup

    Of late, when I boot up my MBP, everything comes up quickly except the menu bar icons, which take forever to show up. After that, everything works fine. The only icons that need to load are Airport status, battery status, bluetooth, and date/time. The machine's not usable til these icons appear. They used to show up really fast. Sometimes on startup, they appear, then disappear, then reappear after about 45 seconds. This is not correct startup behavior. Anyone else experience this? It's only an annoyance, but it's driving me crazy.

    Try deleting the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. This will return things to the factory default.

  • Editing the Menu bar icons

    Hello fellow Mac-aholics,
    I've recently been trying to 'hack' my mac (look at me, I'm a poet and . . . ) and I've been playing with the .png files for some of the widgets I have (If any wants and 'Hula' widget with a copy of me bouncing around, drop me an email!!) I also reliased that I should be able to play around with the 'menu bar' icons. I have added a gmail checker and a chat app and I can easily change their icons (locate the app, show package contents and find the revlivant .png) But now I want to play with the 'speaker volume' and 'airport' icons, however I can't find the funking files.
    Can anyone help!!!

    Once again thank you all for your help, may the gods of apple bless you with extra RAM!!
