Stop taking away colour (color) icons!!!

Please can someone tell me a way to bring back the colour icons that Apple keeps stealing from me?
First iTunes, then OSX, mail and Safari, now Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 (P.S. if you, like me, hate the loss of easy to find and generally more visually appearling colour icons etc do not upgrade to aperture 3.2.3.).
I simply cannot understand why, 20 years after introducing the first colour Mac, Apple want to drag us back to a less visually appealing and less user friendly dull and dreary colour scheme for all their apps. The human eye and brain work well together to quickly find what you are looking for with colour. Black and white means that you have to analyse the icon or the word beside it - totally counterintuitive - slowing down my workflow.
BRING BACK COLOUR ICONS APPLE - YOU ARE DRIVING ME AWAY AS A CUSTOMER.
To quote the fantastic Sheldon Cooper... We could also stop using the letter M, but I think that idea is isguided and oronic.
Seriously Apple wake up - keep making forward steps - not backward ones.

  • Colour / color icons for Mail 5.0

    Thankfully I have found a way to get colour back into the sidebar via ColourfulSidebar1.0, but can anyone tell me, is there an equivalent to get the colour back into Mail 5.0.
    Removing colour where it clarifies and identifies is complete madness, what are Apple doing - whilst adding a weird faux leather and ripped paper trixy surround to iCal and Address Book - (BTW, does anyone know how to get rid of those/)
    Surely grey has always meant 'unusable' in the OSX interface.
    Notably they have removed colour from iPhoto also, but not from the Pro Aperture application, where productivity for users is key and I'm sure they would loose customers to Adobe Lightroom if thye did.
    Thanks for any help.
    Stephen.

    i also would love that , i mean let's face it colors are the easiest fastest way of identifying something, combine it with specific shapes & one doesn't even have to LOOK at them anymore, it becomes automatic
      what the **** were they thinking ?

  • How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • WSUS Server 3.2 wsuscontents folder size is taking away all the disk space(75GB)

    Hi ,
    We have Windows server 2008R2 X64. server and we have configured WSUS Server 3.2. The WSUSContents folder is taking away all the disk space and there is no space left . As a result WSUS stopped working.
    We used WSUS Server cleanup Wizard, but it is not able to reduce the size of this folder.
    Is there anyway we can purge the WSUS database? is there any script to run?
    Thanks a ton in advance for the help.

  • Why on earth did apple replace the color icons in aperture with monochrome icons!

    I really do not like the look of the new monochrome icons. The interface looks broken and buttons are hard to find. Why did apple do this? Please Apple, give users a choice between monochrome and color icons!

    Look at the more like this at the right of this post. There are many threads on this.
    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.
    Send feedback to Apple from the main Aperture menu bar:

  • Hate Lion grey icons, want to get back colored icons

    Just switched (a test on a seperate HD) to Lion.  Like most people I use customised colored Icons as part of navigating quuickly.  In the sidebare it is all boringly gray.
    I seen some of the discussions about this hot topic but found no permanaet solutions.  Anybody know any?

    I also wanted colours back!!
    I got this from a colleague: go to http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/get-color-sidebar-icons-back-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lio n-finder-windows/
    These are the steps:
    Download and install SIMBL, which you can get here
    Download the ColorfulSidebar SIMBL plugin (direct link) or visit the developers home and mount the DMG file
    Move the ColorfulSidebar.bundle into the following SIMBL plugin folder:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/
    Either login and logout of Mac OS X, or just kill the Finder through the Terminal to relaunch it:
    killall Finder
    Works like a charm, I'm a happy -colourful- Maccer again!

  • How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off

    How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off the machine?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

  • HT3702 how can i ask them to stop taking money from my credit card without my authorization?

       the apple store keeps taking money saying that i buy things from my credit card. i don't know why this is happening. how do i make them stop taking maney without my authorization.

    Perhaps you have had your account hacked by someone. Someone you know or a stranger. The first thing is to change the password in your Apple ID so that they cannot continue to buy things with your account. Second, if the None option is available in your iTunes account payment methods, select that and remove the bank card info.
    Manage your Apple ID -

  • The app icons I have on the iPad have just come up blank with the app name under it. How do I get the colorful icons to appear? The apps do work though

    The Ipad icons are all just a grey box. How do I get the colorful icons?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes.  Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to find the teeth whitening one anywhere. Also, I don't want it to lessen the high quality if my photos.  Thank you so much!!

    Hi Erika,
    I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!)  from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.

  • Colored icons in toolbars

    Hello all,
    In FrameMaker 9, the user interface has been completely overhauled to look like all of the other Adobe products. One detail in this overhaul was the colors of the toolbar icons. By default, compying to PhotoShop and other products, the icons are grey and show color only when you hover over them. For a product where colors are in the content, this is probably a good choice, but in FrameMaker most content is black and white, and having colored icons in the toolbars does help authors to quickly find the required function for what they want to do.
    It turns out to be quite simple to change FrameMaker's usage of icons by changing configuration files, telling Frame to use the colored hover icon as the default one and the grey default icon as the hover version. I have created a script that does this for FrameMaker versions 10 and 11 (in fact, the script will also work for version 12). The script can be executed via the File > Script > Run command and does not require any knowledge of ExtendScript.
    Running the script toggles between grey and colored icons in the personal user settings, so every user can have their own settings.
    If you are interested in receiving this script (free of charge), send an e-mail to jang at jang dot nl.
    Kind regards from Amsterdam
    Jang

  • Color icons gone in Dreamweaver CC (version 13)

    Hi.
    Whay are the color icons in Dreamweaver CC (version 13 mac) gone? Very bad
    Much harder to see if i'm connected to remote site is one very frustrating thing.
    I managed to replace some of the icons with versions from DW6. But many are still missing.
    Does anyone have a good tip for replacing all of them?
    Regards
    Olle

    Well ... I know they where removed ... but I'm missing them
    The bottom of the thread in that link leads to this statment from Adobe
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/10/dreamweaver-creative-cloud-update-12-1-faqs.htm l
    "To help you focus on the page and avoid distraction from colorful elements in the user interface, color options for Insert icons have been deprecated."
    Ha ha ... so I need help focus on the page and not get distracted by color icons
    I think it would be good to have an option to choose color or gray. Like it was before.
    It's not helping me to focus on the page with only gray icons. What a stupid thing to say ...
    I think a little color makes things look better (and easier to know if i'm connected to the server or not).
    Witch one below stands out the most?
    Regards

  • ITunes.rsrc Colored Icons

    Hello all,
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.1 and was annoyed to see that my "hacked" colored icons (if you don't know what I'm talking about, see http://obamapacman.com/2010/09/how-to-add-color-icons-apple-itunes-10-gray-sideb ar-mod/ ) had disappeared. They have disappeared with each new iTunes upgrade that I've installed. So I assume that each update includes the iTunes.rsrc file. Is there any Terminal command or anything I can do to keep the colored icons while still updating each version? Manually "hacking" the icons after each install is not an option for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've been putting that file in for the last few updates of iTunes... and now with the 10.1 version iTunes.rsrc causes a new problem on my iMac G5 running Leopard. The Podcast section is full of half weird symbols where the "playing indicator" icon should be. When playing back Music I get half of two symbols next to each other. I get the lower half of the correct "Speaker" icon and the upper half of a green play icon. Even that is better than grey icon... anyone else seen this problem? I'd be happy just to get the file working again.
    Within minutes of seeing this I had written an enhancement request to Apple - I would encourage everyone to do that! http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Apple - Please fix this!

  • How do I stop Launchpad renaming my App Icons with the wrong name

    How do I stop Launchpad renaming my App Icons with the wrong name (E.G. Evernote is now called Google Chrome). Also, how do I change the name back to what it is supposed to be. 
    Why do some of my app icons dissappear altogether? This feels very buggy to me.

    It sorted itself out. A glitch?
