Notes mailbox list color is black on black

I just installed Snow Leopard and discovered that when I create a new note in Mail.app, the note shows up in the list with a fore- and background color of black.
Only new notes have this problem, my older notes show up fine (black text on white background).
I cannot find a setting to set the background color of notes in the mailbox. Although I have many rules set up, I do not have any rule that sets the background color to black, so I do not know what is causing this.
Is there a way to change the background color of notes (or messages) in a mailbox list that does not involve a rule?
Thanks,
-dZ.

Wow dude, you're good.
Thanks a ton. Something so minor made me pull my hair out today.

My printer will not print in color, only black and white.

I have an Epson NX 420. I have set it up to my laptop, and am able to print off of my computer. But when I go to print a document out of pages, even though it says it is in the color mode it only will print out in Black and White. Is there something I should be downloading? I do know that the printer can and does print in color, because everything works perfectly fine on my Windows computer.

There are a few things to check:
Make sure the blue tape has been removed from the nozzle plate.
Print a diagnostic page as shown in method 4 here. Does this page print color? If so the issue may be your driver settings. Check for a "Print in grayscale" setting and uncheck this box.

OJ Pro 8625 will not print in color only shades of gray

Printer was purchased two days ago. The printer will not print in color only black and shades of gray. alignment test on 2/28/15 showed color. cartridges show full.

Hi there @ChuckHilde
Welcome to the HP Community
I saw your post about how you cannot print in color, and I would like to refer you to try the steps I previously recommended in another thread. The printer itself prints in color, therefor there is most likely settings on your Mac that need to be changed.
Click here to get to that thread and try the steps: Re: Printer Only Prints Pictures in Black & White
You should be able to print in color after those steps!

Did you have this problem? What should I do?

Sorry, its not an external display. I changed out THE display in my imac. When I hooked up my wife's display it was photo negative and the imac was color. I changed the Universal Settings and the external display went to color and the imac went to photo negative.

Is it Possible to Change Song List Background to Black w/ White Lettering?

I have the grid view in black and have Silent Night which changes everything else other than the song list and left side-bar to black. Would love to complete my blackout state. I spend lots of time listening to music in the dark. White is the devil.
Thank you

If you take receipt, iPhone, box and everything that came it the box back to the place you purchased it for complete return and refund. Then buy the iPhone you want. Apple will not change the color for you.

Unable to change text color (from Black)

For the next person who blunders into this and searches for an answer...
If you have a Condition Code whose decoration is a custom color, and you delete the color, the text goes to Black, and you cannot change the color of text bearing that CC - with local color override, or a Character Format that applies a color (I didn't try Paragraph format).
I am copying formatted content in from an older document that doesn't conform to current templates. I had deleted unused colors in the source, but not unused Condition Codes, one of which rode in with some text. What was controlled by the CC in the old doc is now controlled by a color Character format, except that when applied, the text stayed stubornly black (until I nuked the CC).

Dear FrameMaker 7.1/Unix user,
This does not surprise me. As long as the condition is applied and "Show Condition Formats" is active FrameMaker will show the Condition Color (now: Black) and not any underlying text colors.

How can I change the background color of black clips?

"iMovie Help" says to double click (or "apple i" or file ⇒show info), then "Click the color box and choose a color for the clip". I get a "Clip Info" window, with "Name", "Media File", "Size", "Capture date", and "Duration", but it does not have a "Color box". I know this should be a simple task. Thanks to any for their time and expertise.

Hi dosrio - what was the origin of the black clip? If it was a title 'over black' you are best to re-do it, with 'over black' unchecked.
If it was really just an 'empty space' formed by dragging the existing clips to the right, then it must be first converted into a black clip (Control-Click it, and select 'convert empty space to clip'). Then double click it, and the resulting info box will include a colour selector. Note that this is a simple way of creating any colour clip you want. You must be in Timeline mode to create it, after which it will show up in both Timeline and Clips View.

Hp photosmart plus printer will not copy or print in black ink

HP Photo Smart Plus will not print black. I can get other colors to print. I have used print Doctor to diagnose and
could not find a problem. I did get printer to print black and all colors on test page. When printing I do not get a error message other than a red x. I have also tried a different ink cartidge with no results.

Hi Dee54321,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print in black ink on your HP Photosmart Plus B210a.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend you call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl

Hi JasperNM,
You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
First locate the printer IP address as following:
Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
Click the Go menu.
Click on Connect to Server.
In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.

Trying to update and my nano screen goes from color to black and white...

Last time this happened I lost all of the information on my ipod.
I was trying to get my newly purchased music from itunes to my nano. I couldn't. The help sections told me to update my ipod. I'm currently trying to update with 2006-03-23 and the screen still says "initializing" and actually as I type this the screen that says initializing appears frozen (although I've learned apple stuff is weird because it appears frozen but it's not). How long should this take? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why does my ipod screen go from color to black and white? Do I need to redo anything? Do I need to reset my nano?
Please help with the ******** mac user (I've always used Windows and I am lost in the mac world apparently when it comes to ipods)

Can you get the exact wording for that error? Is it can't mount iPod?
Also, make sure iTunes is up to date...

Finally, make sure your iPod's battery is charged up.

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.
Cheers

Combining color and black-and-white pages in a single pdf

I have a document in which I have a few images with colors. The document needs to be printed but currently the whole document is in color so the costs are expensive. I want to convert the pages without the images to black-and-white and keep the color pages as is. I saw that it is possible to convert the colors of a pdf document from color to black-and-white using Acrobat Professional. Is it possible to convert only certain pages? If not, I am thinking of spliting my document, converting the text pages, and then merging them back with the color pages. Will that keep the original color settings? Basically - can I have some pages in gray scale and others in color within the same document? Thanks!
(The document is to be printed elsewhere, so I can't just print separately the gray scale and color pages).

You you separate the pages, convert the colors spaces and recombine, each page will retain the new color space.
