  • How to restore default OS X Lion theme?

    Recently, I downloaded an app named "Cloak" which changes the color of your Finder, but it didn't work so I uninstalled it. After I did that, it changed the buttons around. For example on Safari, when I press the red exit button it goes full screen instead. Other things happen too (Look at the photo) How do I restore default OS X Lion theme so that it goes to normal? It's really ******* me off, help me pleaseee?

    An example of the 3rd party programs that people insist on installing and wonder why their systems go haywire.
    I would suggest going to the developers site and seeing if they have a downloadable uninstaller.

    If you install these eye candy programs, they become entwined with your core system and the result is often as we see above, or often worse, like data loss through disc or system failure.
    Good Luck

  • Photoshop 7 background default color is not white

    Does anyone know how to change the defaulf background color back to white ... all files open with a yellow background, the default icon on the tool bar is yellow also. I click on restore default background color and it stays yellow even on a grayscale file ...I had this problem about 6 years ago and dont remember which of the 2,175 easy fixs it was.

    You need to calibrate your monitor.
    Since you have PS 7, you can use Adobe Gamma from the control panel.
    This is a fairly basic tool that relies on the user's eyeball – a better solution is a hardware calibrator like the EyeOne.

  • Restoring Default Swatches?

    sometimes when i open a file the default fill and stroke swatches are empty (see attached image).  i suspect this is caused by the attributes of the file that is opened – for example, i just opened a PDF file in illustrator, which consists of only variantes of black text.  perhaps since it is not an Illustrator file it will not display the default color swatches.  is that correct?
    i've since saved the PDF as an Illustrator file and i would like to know how to restore the default swatches.
    i am aware that i can open swatch librarys and use the swatch panel, but this does not solve my issue.

    You are mpre or less correct. If you open a file that do not contain swatches such as an image raster file iit will not have the default swatches.
    What you do instead of opening that file is you create a new file and place the file you would have opened in that blank file, which will have default swatches by default.
    You  can also load the swatches from the default new document procile orr any documdnt that contains them.
    From the Swatch Panel flyout select Load Swatches then navigate to file that contains the swatches.

  • How to remove the orange default color of the first cell in an ALV report

    Hello all,
    I have coded an ALV grid report (in ABAP object) and when I execute it, I saw that the first cell containing data, in the top left corner of the ALV grid is always colored in orange by default. This bothers me because I have colored this cell in green (if I select an other line in my grid, I can clearly see that my top left cell is colored in green).
    Does anyone knows how to "desactivate" this orange default color ?
    Thanks for your answer.
    Best regards
    Cyril S.

    Thanks Uwe and Rainer,
    Unfortunately, I tried what you mentioned both and nothing works.
    As you said, it seems mandatory that a cell must be selected by default in an ALV grid.
    That's a pity because this "ugly orange" hides my beautiful green color.
    I will answer my customer that it is not possible. That's all.
    Thank you for your help. I did appreciate.
    Best regards
    Cyril S.

  • Is there a way to change the default colors for iPad apps?

    I noticed one of my friends iPad 2 had a different color scheme for apps and I would like to change my iPad 2's default ( which is currently grey). To elaborate, the default color for the borders and tabs in Safari are grey on my iPad, my friends are blue. Would like to change from the drab grey color to blue also but I cannot find a setting for this. All applications and Setup apps have this default color scheme on my ipad. Do I have to reset the iPad and start over with setup to achieve this? Hope not, perhaps someone can shed some light on an easy way to do this. Thank You!

    You can apply  system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
    Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

  • Can I change the default color of a calendar event?

    I have a couple calendars that will be using the overlay functionality in 2010, and chosing colors for the overlays is no problem.  However the main calendar defaults to green, and then when you open any of the overlay calendars their default color
    is green on their calendar but different on the main version.  Is there a way I can change the default so that either the main calendar doesn't show green (then each overlay owner wouldn't be confused), or to change the seperate overlay calendars to have
    their default match the selected overlay color?Denzel

    Hi Denzel,
    SharePoint 2010 calendar makes use of CALENDARV4.CSS file.  The default location of this file is [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES\Themable\]
    Search for .ms-acal-item element in this CSS file and make changes to
    background-color property to suit your requirement.  A trial and error method could allow you to achieve your functionality.
    CAUTION: Kindly make backup of your original CALENDARV4.CSS file, before making any changes.
    There is a good reference/sample of Calendar Styles by Heather Solomon for earlier SharePoint version 2007 here:
    http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/11/20/SharePoint-Calendar-CSS--Clean-and-Condensed.aspx
    Additionally, please make use of Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools (F12) to further explore the overlay calendar CSS.  Hope this helps.

  • How to get default color of a selected row in a JLIst

    I have a JList that I am changing the font color for based on a certian situation so I created my own MyCellRenderer to do this. However, when I select an item in the list the row is no longer highlighted. I used the isSelected method to determine if a row was selected and then change the background color of that row. However, I would like the color to be the default color that you get when you select a row in a default JList. I can't seem to figure out how to get that color. How do I obtain what that color is? I found an example where you can get the default color for the background of a button and use that color so I would guess it is something similar to that. My code is below so I hope someone can tell me how to get that color that I want.
    Thanks...Chris
    class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
         public MyCellRenderer() {
              setOpaque(true);
         public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
             JList list,
             Object value,
             int index,
             boolean isSelected,
             boolean cellHasFocus)
             int index1 = value.toString().indexOf("-");
               String errors = value.toString().substring(index1 + 1, index1 + 6).trim();
             int numErrors = Integer.parseInt(errors);
               if (numErrors > 0)
                      setForeground(Color.red);
                      setBackground(Color.white);          
             else
                  setBackground(Color.white);
                  setForeground(Color.black);
             if(isSelected)
                  //ColorUIResource col = (ColorUIResource)UIManager.getDefaults().get("JButton.background");
                  ColorUIResource col = (ColorUIResource)UIManager.getDefaults().get("Button.background");
                  setBackground(col);
             setText(value.toString());
             return this;
    }

    I would like the color to be the default color that you get when you select a row in a default JList. I can't seem to figure out how to get that colorlist.getSelectionBackground();

  • Default Colors Limit for Graph in OBIEE 11g

    Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.6)
    When I use a graph (either bar or pie), I notice that OBIEE only has 12 default colors to use in the graph. So it starts from blue, red, and so forth, until the 12th color, then for the 13th color it will use the same blue again, and so forth.
    The problem is that my column values are more than 12 (it could be 20, it could be 30, etc). So, the repeating colors doesn't make any sense for the graphs.
    Could somebody please advise me on how to increase the default number of default colors used by OBIEE (so that it will be like 50 default colors set automatically by OBIEE, just in case)?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    type HexaDecimal colors in google you will find n number of colors with the code number, just use this color codes by adding# before every code in the column format properties.
    for ex: #ccc99

  • E72 : "Item no longer available; Restoring default...

    Hi all,
    Has anyone seen this message on E72 ?
    I have had my E72 for abt a month. After much struggle and trial/errors I had got most of the stuff working (email etc.).
    HOWEVER, I made the big mistake of accepting the firmware v 023.xx upgrade. It never completed the update successfully (the USB connection kept getting lost).
    But the worst part is I am now getting these random messages when I am simply scrolling thru' the menu items.
    "Item no longer available. Restoring default key setting".
    Has anyone seen this message on E72 ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    When I check the firmware it still shows 021.024 dated 17-Oct-2009.

    Did you upgrade using OVI or NSU?  I did upgrade mine to 023.002 with NSU 2.4.1.  If you use Vista or 7 as OS, make sure you have Administrator right while installing OVI, PC Suite, or NSU.
    During the installation, the phone disconnected.  I remove the USB connection and the battery as well, then plug the USB and battery in then click Retry.  It worked after 2 times remove and plug-in.
    I never seen the message you have before.  I think it is because the firmware upgrade didn't finish successfully.  And for USB keep disconnected, try use other USB port and make sure it is direct connection from PC to E72 without using any USB hub.

  • TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

    I found this  (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder. 

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • How do I change the default color in pages.

    How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

    It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.
