My minimize button is black instead of colored

I have a 15" Macbook Pro Retina and for some reason my close/minimize/maximize buttons are black instead of red/yellow/green.. I tried to look through the setup but could not find anything to change these.. Where is this setup?
Thanks
Gary

So what you trying to say? You don't like black buttons?
Lol jk.
Try System Preferences > General > Appearance > Change to Blue, if its set on Graphite.
That's the only thing I know that changes the color of those icons. Hope it helps!

Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

While I'm using facebook in my iPad with Safari browser,sometimes it will just switch to main menue.It also happened with the Facebook apps from the apple store. And the color of the bookmark area becomes black instead of a normal grey color.

Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router.

No line border and text in book is printed in black instead of dark blue

Just ordered my first photo book, and found that the text in the book is printed in black instead of the dark blue I thought I had used. I was advised by Apple to remove the 'plist' (had no idea what that was but found some info on Google) by dragging it onto my desktop, then log out and log in again and open the book again and once more choose the right color for the text, and then check the book as PDF in Preview before ordering it again.
I've done that and the text is now the color I want it to be, so I could go ahead and order it again now, I guess. Meanwhile that plist is still on my desktop - what should I do about that?
Besides, before ordering the book again I'd like to solve another problem with it, for which Apple didn't give me a solution, and that is that only part of the line borders in my Line Border Theme photo book are visible. There are no lines around a single photo per page (so the photo is not 'framed' so to speak), and on pages with several photo's there are only lines between photo's but not on the outside.
Any ideas anybody?
Ps. I should add that Apple was very decent about returning my money right away (besides the two things I just mentioned, the book was also slightly damaged), but didn't answer all my questions.
I really would like to get the book right and printed though.

the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist contains your iPhoto preferences and when you launch iPhoto and there is none a fresh new reference file is created so you can throw the old one away
To preview your book before ordering I recommend Apple's Knowledge base article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

Why is the MacBook keyboard black instead of grey?

A curious question about industrial design.
When Apple released the unibody MacBook, why has the keyboard been changed to black instead of the original silver color from the older MacBook Pro models?
I personally prefer grey keys a lot more than black keys as they blend in well with the aluminum body. Grey, like black, doesn't get dirty over long periods of use.
Some argue that the contrast lets a user recognize the black keyboard better. My counter argument is that the silver keyboard on the old MacBook Pros did not trouble users. Since the hands are already rested in position during typing, users don't need to look at a physical keyboard as often as a touchscreen keyboard.
Others argue that it's to distinguish the keyboard from the body. If that's the case, then why is the trackpad silver instead of black?

A silver keycap with a white letter does not provide sufficent contrast as legislated. A silver keycap and a sufifciently contrasting letter color would be very difficult to illuminate. The current ID solution provides sufficient contrast, and the ability to illuminate the letter.
"Do you have any sources that describe the standard?"
I believe the inital legislation was passed by the EU, and it was part of ergo standards, including usability by the physically limited.

Acquire black/white from color camera

I have a color camera and would like to acquire image in black/white. I want to tried grabbing image in black and white because I want to increase speed of the program. I tried changing the format of the image from RGB to float when creating an image (IMAQ create image), it worked but the program worked so slow. My questions are:
1. Can you suggest me how to make it faster?
2. Does aquiring image in black and white instead of color (RGB) help increase speed of the program?

Irene,
I will assume you are using the PCI-1411 board for your acquisition. In MAX, you can select what the output is. Your options are a full color image, the different color planes (R,G,B) or the HSI color planes. I would select Intensity to get a grayscale image. The conversion will be done on the board, which is fast. In your program, use a standard 8 bit image, which is the default.
Acquiring the image in grayscale will not necessarily increase the speed of the program, but it should increase the speed of any processing you are doing. Since there is less information to process, it is faster. It really depends on what you are doing with the images after you acquire them.
As a general rule, there is no reason to acquire color images unless
you need the color information. A grayscale camera is cheaper and the image quality is usually better.

Only want to use Black ink, not color

I have used all pro 8500 with black ink only. other colors are empty . I dont want to print with color and only Black ink needed. black ink is full but still calling out needs ink fill

The Officejet 8500 has separate ink supplies and printheads. When printing (even in black only) the color portions of the printhead are waving around in the air and would dry out and clog if no color ink was available. For this printer you will need to replace the color ink to allow printing.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs. For inkjet printers:
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Officejet 8040a is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8500 printer. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printhead or burned out printhead firing resistors. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.
If you never print in color a laser printer would likely be a better choice. If you occasionally print color but mostly black an IPH printer like those in the first category above may be a good choice.

Prevent form/timer hanging while holding the minimize button

I got troubles when the customers holding the minimize button (without release) on my form, it make all forms and all timers/controls entirely hanging. And thus make some exception bugs for my application.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior:
In Form1, create a Timer1 & Label1 and paste this code :
Public Class Form1
Public a As Long
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Interval = 1
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
a = a + 1
Label1.Text = a
End Sub
End Class
Press F5 to run the application. You will see the number display on Label1 increase rapidly. Now try to hold the Minimize button and the timer will hang up, label1 stop increasing. Release the minimize button will make the timer resume increasing.
I want my timer and all controls in form still working while holding the minimize button. Is there any good resolution for my issue ?

various possible resolution. remove controlbox. remove text. draw text if wanted. draw controls. use system.timers.timer. system menu removed so no menu for move size minimize maximize close available.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1

How do you recolor artwork from black/white to color inside Recolor Artwork?

In Recolor artwork is there a way to change the black and white colors to a color? When I try to edit them it doesn't edit them at all. It would be nice if I didn't have to manually tweak the colors to have color before I go into Recolor Artwork.

In the center of the window with the Assign tab active, there is a Color Reduction Options button. Click that, then uncheck White nad Black under "Preserve".

Safari: When i click the MINIMIZE button, the browser shuts down! Help??

I just downloaded Safari for the first time (coz I'm jealous I don't have a Mac!). Whenever I click the minimize button up the top right-hand corner, the web browser closes completely instead of just minimizing.... Anyone got any idea why this might be happening??
I'm running Windows Vista btw....
Thanks!

Cheers J-G
I actually figured it out. I had just downloaded another program for Mac-wannabes who are stuck with Windows called Rocketdock, which provides you with the Mac version of the windows task bar for your desktop. In my Rocketdock options, there is an option that says "Minimize windows to Rocketdock" and I had this option selected. I have now de-selected it and everything is back to normal

Yellow minimize button disappears...cant get it back

I'm not sure what provokes it, but for some reason the middle yellow minimize button at the top left disappears from safari windows. I noticed it also happens to the ichat buddy list. Can anyone tell me why this is/how I can fix it? Restarting it fixes it, but only temporarily and I don't want to have to restart it everytime. The red X button and green + buttons are still there and functional.

I do not see how it is going to help. I have the same prob. Any help is appreciated.
In the Displays pane of System Preferences, change
the monitor's bitdepth to thousands of colors, or
millions of colors if it is currently at thousands of
colors; if you have the display control enabled in
the menu bar, you can change it here as well.

Disappearing menu bar and minimize button quits working

I'm working in Entourage or Firefox (with about 3 other small applications open and Classic is running) and the screen suddenly blacks out, as if a screen saver came on for about a quarter second, then the screen comes back. The Menu bar is gone. I can get the menu bar back by clicking on the background and then clicking back on the application, but the minimize button no longer works on the open applications' windows. If I open a new application, the minimize button works on that window. Sometimes I have trouble getting the menu bar back, depending on the application that was open when it "blinked". When this is happening, it occurs at about 20 to 30 minute intervals. Any ideas of what's happening? Has anyone experienced something similar?

How to change default close maximize and minimize button in mac?

How can I change default close, maximize and minimize button in mac?

no. but you can make resizable.

Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?
