Powershell | change color of result MessageCount

Hello guys.
I need help yours.
I have a script in powerShell where monitors queue of mails in some server. 
add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
while ($true -eq $true) {
$server1 = Get-Queue -server Tserver
$server2 = Get-Queue -server Tserver2
$server3 = Get-Queue -server Tserver3
$result =  $server3 + $server2 + $server1 
$result | where {$_.MessageCount -ge "2"} | Format-Table -AutoSize
sleep -s 2 }
in variable $result, will show the queue of mail that exced 2. I Want that when show, the value of MessageCount is changed for any color (red, green, yellow). 
I used Write-host but without sucess. 

Write-Host has a -foreground and -background parameter.  You can use those to create multi-color outputs as I've done
here.

  • Change Colors in Results Window

    Hi does anyone know how I can change the colors (text and backgrounf) of the results window?

    Rafikki,
    If this is different to what Kristof is suggesting in the exchange, pls list out a use case of this in a new example. Sue and I go thru the exchange regularly moving the requests to ERs and bugs

  • Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it?  It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro.  I've also tried

    Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it?  It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location.  The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it.  I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right.  I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit.  Any ideas why or how to fix it?  It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box.  I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result.  Please HELP!!  What am I doing wrong?

    Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not.  So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
    Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
    Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

  • Link in form of a pictrue - change color when sweeping

    Doing links in form of a word which change color when sweeping over them is simple in iWeb.
    I wonder how I do if I not just want the color of the text but also an image to change.
    Ex. I have a link in form of a bright cloud. When one sweep the mouse over it I want the cloud transform into a darker form of the same cloud.
    Perhaps I need a codescript which connect two pictures of the cloud?

  • Can I change color of all objects at ones ?

    Hello guys
    I understand that's very fundamental question, and I promise I search the forum prior to posting, but perhaps it's my bad english and wrong phrasing, that leads to poor results. So if that has been discuss, please kindly don't waste your time, just link me to the post and I will read away.
    I have very complex file, with hundreds of paths, shapes, text, outlined text,  etc... It's a brochure with graphs, scematich drawings and text.
    Last moment, the client like the reverse the colors from (current) Black on white, to all White on dark gray background.
    Problem is, I can't seem to find easy way to just change the colors, without selecting one by one, every single object. When I selest all and choose white, it start filling paths with solid fill... Editing it wastes allot of my time and I have many pages to do.
    Is there any way to simple change color of everything at once, just from black to white ? Or do I have to go object by object manually ?
    Thank you very much, for all the help so far, and I'm sincerly sorry to waste your time if that has been covered previously.
    Good day
    ciao ciao
    Monika

    Thank you both for such prompt follow up. I know it's just typing and it's easy but I sincerly mean it. Thank you.
    The INVERT work on some images.
    The "SAME" seem to work funny way. When I select STROKE COLOR, it does nothing, but when I select WIGHT then it does and in fact I'm able to change lots of strokes at once with ease. Even tho I'm left with few small bits here and there which I need to change manually, it is certainly far better than doing one by one.
    Thanks a lot for the help, it's what I was looking for.
    By the way   I not once used the SAME menu. Feel so lame, given I use AI (not daily but often) for few years now... Shame.
    Thank you and you guys have a great day

  • Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

    Hi,
    My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
    Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
    Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

    There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
    All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

  • Visited links on safari do not change color

    Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

    I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
    I found the link below helped, and it works!
    How do I change color of links visited?

  • Change color in alv column

    how do change color of a column in ALV.

    Hi
    The below abap program shows how to change the colour of individual ALV cells /fields. Only a small number of changes are required from a basic ALV grid which include adding a new field to ALV data declaration table(it_ekko), populating this field with the field name identifier and colour attributes and finally adding an entry to layout control work area. These changes are highlighted in bold below.

    Thanks for your reply. I need some clarification. I am in my workbook. In the BEX format toolbar I have changed the workbook to no color. Now all cells have no color. What are the steps now to change the results rows to be yellow again?  Where do I change "The Workbook results row is the Style type SAPBEXaggItem...you can change the background for thisOr steps to"
    Full points will be rewarded.

  • Visited links stopped changing color suddenly

    visited links stopped changing color suddenly

    Well, I'm a mixed bag. After wasting time and missing the point earlier, thinking that this was about the Google app, today I finally suss to the fact that the discussion's a tually about in fhe browser ...
    Anyway, I take a look and, sure enough, the first one I try does pop into a violet color when returning to the results page. I thought it distinct enough to easily notice, and couldn't remember seeing it before (use the app most of the time).
    Unfortunately, that was rthe one and only time I saw that happen over the next ten minutes of running searches on multiple topics. All subsequent cycles showed the exacrt same shade of blue on return, and this includes tests run in the middle of and following such steps as clearing the app (cache, cookies history), force quitting the app, and restarting the iPad.
    Nothing made any difference. That first time was the one and only time, so far, that I saw the color change.
    Also tried a Reset. No change. I guess if it's really supposed to work then a Restore might do it but .... I think not.

  • Bright areas on imported footage change color

    Having just returned from shooting interviews at a trade show, I decided to give FCP X a go. I downloaded the trial version and imported some footage. When I import footage shot on our Sony Z1 (HDV), all areas that are near or over 100 IRE start changing color (as illustrated in this screen shot. Even graphics that are imported with white levels below 100 IRE have colors mixed up (black type turns white, colors invert, etc.)
    When I import the footage into FCP 7, it displays and renders just fine. If I capture the footage in FCP 7 then import into FCP X, I get the same result as shown in the screen shot. It looks like some type of clipping indicator, but I've found nothing that shows it can be turned off
    While further researching the issue, I shot some footage on my Pentax K7 to see what it would do. The results are below. As you can see, anything that should be white (in the backyard) is black, even though none of the whites exceed 100 IRE.
    Interestingly, when I render out the footage, it all looks correct. Is there some kind of clipping indicator overlay function that exists in FCP X, and if so, how do I turn the bloody thing off?

  • How do I keep the visited hyperlinks from changing color?

    I am looking to keep the colors of visited sites, the same as unvisited chosen by the hosting site. For example; when I visit eBay, their hyperlink colors are different depending on location. They are black in the far left, and do not change color when visited. However, the hyperlinks in the center are blue, then change to purple after they are visited. I would like for the hosting site to use their own colors, but not differentiate from the unvisited links to the visited ones.
    I know I can change the color of the visited links to be the same as the non-visited links(FF>Options>Content>Colors>"change"Link Colors), but this is not what I am trying to achieve. When I do that, ALL links are my chosen color, even the links on the far left on the eBay page. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hi raven0, I'm not seeing this issue on Craigslist, although we're probably in different cities.
    Does this occur on other sites as well, such as search engine results? If so, it could indicate that Firefox isn't saving history for those page loads. You could check the Library dialog and see whether the individual pages are listed. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+h
    * History > Show All History
    If there's no history for those page loads, is it possible that the pages are being opened in private windows, or that history has become disabled in some other way?

  • Subtitles are changing colors

    Hi,
    All my subtitles in IBS are the same color- blueberry.
    However, in the pdf, there are some blueberry and others that are navy blue. I've tried changing styles, manually changing colors, and it some still defaults to navy blue. Why?
    Many thanks.

    None of the things you are asking are at all likely. The most likely problem is a corrupt monitor profile. You should have some kind of utility for calibration, but just how you go about it differs a bit depending on your version of windows. Here are the directions for windows 7:

    Of course you'll get best results using a dedicated colorimeter, but that should let you take a look and see what's going on, at least.

  • Why do I get a program error when changing colors?

    I get a 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to change colors on both the forground/background palette or from the color picker palette.  Is there a patch for this?
    I am using Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.x64

    Hi. Because this forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

  • Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

    Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
    1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
         Things I'm not sure about:
              a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
              b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
              c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
    2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
    3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
    3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
    4. Make paintings, have fun.
    Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.
