New Mail Color Coding

I have made rules in the past to color code new email, based on who it's from, etc.
My wife asked if there is a way to identify new messages by color coding. Once read, they would be normal again. Anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks
Shannon

I am having a %#@% of a time with colors too, but I do know this: if you start having things turn wacky colors, the easiest way to get rid of it is to go to the message (or shift-select all messages you want to change) and go to Format/Fonts at the top, and when the color wheel comes up, click one of the white squares at the bottom. That will take the color away--maybe in addition to eliminating the color from the rule, that will fix the problem? Good luck!

Apple Mail color coding both font and background

Is there a way to color-code both the font and the background of emails via Rules? As soon as you set a rule to color code one of them another becomes unavailable. This is probably by design but then I'd say this is very stupid design. I do not see any reason why both can not be set except that nobedy from Apple uses this feature .

Before starting to complain, I have to admit that Mail.app made me switch from other rss and mail applications. It works well and I like having rss and mail in one program.
But I totaly agree with you, I found this post by trying to find a fix for this ugly header. Also it's a mistery to me why the source name is the main title and the subject is the smaller sub title...
And while I'm at it, just one more thing, this rss header or at least the title should be a link. So that if you want to open the selected post in your browser, you don't have to scroll down to the "read more" link.

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Color coded mail rule stopped working

We were color coding our email via rules. i.e. anything from family is highlighted in blue on the list of mail.
Just got a new MacbookPro and installed everything to it from Time Machine. Now the rules seem to be working intermitantely. They show up if you go to preferences and look at the rules, but don't seem to be totally functioning.
Any thoughts?

Well all I can suggest is that you go in and check out the settings on that mail rule and see if everything is just like it was a year ago (when it was working ;)).

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:
http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/microsoft-entourage-vs-apple-mail /
Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

New mail is hi-lighted on the left column folder. Some appear in blue some black bold. Can you control this color ?

With the latest Thunderbird upgrade , I'm seeing some changes without me actually changing anything. The new mail hi-lighting seems to have a mind of it's own and I'd really like to be able to control that. Either force it to one color globally or actually have 'serious' new mail be hi-lighted with red bold. Version is 31.6.0.
Please advise.

Mail that you have not "seen" as if views in the list has the folder blue. mail that is unread in the folder is bold no unread mail is normal text. There is nothing mysterious about it.

New mail message, tab to body doesn't work

I have an Automator app. on my desktop that jsut creates a new mail message. It does not pre-fill any information, just a new, blank mail message.
The problem is, I can type the recipients address, tab to the Subject and type that. Then, when I try to tab to the message area or body, it just highlights the Subject and will not tab forward.
Any ideas?

The bug affects all applications that interact with Mail by way of Apple Events. Such apps as iPhoto, Automator, and AppleScript all use Apple Events to compose the buggy message. Until Mail's AE behavior is fixed, the only things I can offer are workarounds.
The previous script merely emulates user input instead of sending Apple Events. This is a bit of a kludge, and on second read a more precise solution would have been to invoke a blank mailto link:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">open location "mailto:"</pre>A workaround for your iPhoto-to-Mail bridge would be very difficult to conjure (if it's even possible) and unreliable at best. :\

CSS WON'T GET COLOR CODED UNLESS THE FILE IS IN A PROJECT?? R U KIDDIN??

If I open a CSS file outside of a project, there is no color coding! Please tell me this can be changed. I DO NOT WANT CFBUILDER ORGANIZING MY PROJECTS!
$299 for this? Really - please explain why I should pay $300 for a bloated version of Homesite? Homesite was GREAT! You guys frakked up by killing it. CFB is confusing, the settings especially, nothing does what it states. Spend too much time trying to figure out how to update a simple thing. Bad when I have to Google when I just want to display line numbers. Typical Adobe - non-intuitive.

Stop shouting. Jesus.
What you're whining about is the equivalent of my mum (who is a lovely little old lady in her late 70s) buying a new VHS and having a tanty of the buttons not being in "the right place".
If you struggle so much with a software app having settings in different places that it yields this sort of response - and not even an inital visceral response, but lingering enough for you to put the caps lock on and write it down! - you're in the wrong industry, mate. We're not talking rocket surgery here. Or even brain science.
That's not to say that shifting from something like HS to Eclipse doesn't involve a bit of a mindshift, but it's not the end of the world. And no-one's making you change text editors either.
Personally I think CFS was a really good text editor, and I rued moving onto DW (not my choice, I was the guinea pig for a failed experiment at a job I had years ago), and when I moved from DW to Eclipse I spend a few moments going "what's all this project sh!t?". But then I realised everything I work on actually is a project, and there's no harm in having a little organisation in my work. And the work of the rest of the team. And whilst I found Eclipse has some quirks I could do without, I also remember CFS had some quirks I could do without (and DW was an app I could simply do without from start it finish), so they're even in that regard. But I also found that Eclipse's inifintitely customisable platform is a real boon for my development across various languages and productivity tools. Eclipse really is far far better than CFS when one looks at the bigger picture: the one that is outside the realms of developing just basic websites, by one's self, on a single server (and that's not Adobe's target market with CF & CFB anyway, I think).
That said: CFB has a way to go (and is ot worth $300: it's just a Eclipse plug-in after all), but being built on Eclipse is a good start.
I look fwd to CFB 2.0 to see if it's worth buying...

Color Coding a status report

Hi All,
Is there a way in web dynpro to color code some values retrieved from a RFC call?
For example, say I have a BAPI that returns a status code in a table structure in the form of a character.
'R' - Red, 'Y' - yellow and 'G' -Green. In the web dynpro I loop thru the table to find out how many red, green and yellows have been returned, eg. R = 3, Y = 5 and G = 9.
Can I then show like a color coded progress bar with the actual colors in web dynpro?
Like so, RRRYYYYYGGGGGGGGG, with the letters being the actual colors? Can this be done?
Any suggestions will be greatly welcomed. It doesn't have to be exactly like above.
Thanks
TM

Hi Tony,
I'm new, so feel free to use my approach or not.. =)
I'd first, define three Context Attributes, Red, Yellow, Green (These will reffers to amounts).
You can even, do the sum once, using an Action. You would need to iterate over your table, accessing the Fields and counting by yourself, like:
if ("RED".equals(modelProperty))
red++
if ("YELLOW".equals(modelProperty))
You can also use a switch case if you preffer. You will have the amount of each element in your Value Attributes at that time.
You can define another three Attributes, RedWidth, YellowWidth, GreenWidth, they will be calculated and return type string.
These calculated attributes will:
- Access each value Node, for its color;
- Multiply that guy for any other number you want (to increase width);
- Return Width + px to View
In the View, declare some Images, Red, Yellow, Green colors. I think you can do a 1px image and just resize on the property in runtime. You can define the height in Web Dynpro Layout, no worries. Put them all in a line, with no spaces between each other.. it should look like a bar I think. Remember that we can't manipulate HTML / JS in Web Dynpro (not at least NW04s I think) - so, don't expect some fancy fancy stuff.. =)
Whenever you change the Node (which you put your calculated attributes in) it will update the values, and return new widths.
The second way to do this is, instead of calculating the value in an Action, calculate the value directly in the Calculated Attribute, (iterating thru the main model node, for each respective color) - It will be a bit slowly, however, less nodes are required. You can probably choose what's best for you.
The code itself shouldn't be that hard. Tell me if you need any more information on how to do the stuff.
Regards,
Daniel

Color Coding in PHP/MySQL model: INC file

Dreamweaver 8.02 on Vista RTM (wouldn't matter I don't
think).
I have a site I was using DWMX to manage previously and at
that time I got into one of the XML or TXT files associated with DW
and changed it so it would reckonize .INC as a valid file and
therefore give me some color-coding, code suggestions as I am
typing etc.
On DW8 I see similiar XML/TXT files (for DW config) and now
INC files are all over the place... so I am thinking it should
reckonize this file types.
Still though, the color coding (and the ability to use the
menus to insert img's, etc) are greyed out.
Any ideas?
A typical inc
<div>
html
html
html
</div>
nothing hardcore.
Any ideas? Macromedia/Adobe help online wasn't much help and
my searching on the forums isnt bringing up anything.
Thanks
Sean

The .inc filename extension is popular, but it's also
insecure unless
the include files are stored outside the server root. Web
servers have
no idea of the correct MIME type for an .inc file, so they
just serve
them up as plain text if a direct request is sent to the
server. This
risks exposing sensitive information, such as database
passwords.
It's far safer to use the combination .inc.php. The server
sees the .php
filename extension and parses any code as PHP. The .inc
reminds you that
it's an include file.

Thanks for the tip David.
That might have been a solution from the begining but I was
going off what I was reading in some PHP books and looking at
samples, etc. I am running PHP5 on IIS6 and its been fine for a
year, I just tried what you mentioned, to treverse directly to the
includes (and I know where they are...) and IIS doesn't give them
up. If you have a method to try let me know I would be interested
in seeing... though honestly, in the case of the website at hand,
minus one dynamic section what is in the INC is what people see by
viewing source on thier browser and in case of the dynamic pages
(google maps mashup) they can have it ;) if it helps them with
thier site... let me know if there is a way to test that security.

Color coding of calendar in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to add new metadata and to use the new metadata column in the calendar for color coding. Please suggest how i can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to color coding of calendar in SharePoint 2010
To get this done efficiently, SharePoint’s built-in calendar overlays are the way to go.
You can follow the steps as below:
Customize category column in the calendar list
Create views filtered by category column
Create blank view where the category filters for NULL value
Add the calendar overlays
For more information, you can refer to:
Four Easy Steps to Customized Color Code Calendars in SharePoint

My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

What is the best way to lay out color-coded Excel data in InDesign?

I’ve been away from layout for some time. I now need to lay out color-coded Excel data (3 columns, 200 rows) in InDesign 5.5. The data will need to be in alpha order and each row will be color coded, with a color key at the top of the page. What is the best way to lay this out? Should I use the table tool and create a new style for each color that I need to use?
Thanks for your help.

I think this will work in CS3.
Start off by inserting Styles of WEEK, Mon to Friday (as per left)
Set the Week No. to Bullets and Numbering and insert as per screen shot
Do the same for Days Monday through to Sunday
Also set up Monday style NEXT STYLE to be Tuesday
When you get to Sunday - loop the Styles back to WEEK style.
Then as per first screen shot you just have to insert RETURNS all the way down to initiate the style.

Where can I get the color coded stick

I have a X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series and while installing it, I managed to destroy the color coded sticker. (don't ask)
Where could I get a new one?
Thanks in advance.

only way is to ask from creative
