The ability to color code layers...

Dear Apple,
The ability to color code layers would be the biggest time-saving boost to my workflow that I can imagine.
All layers look so much alike. Add constantly scrolling through dozens or hundreds of them, expanding and contracting often. Loosing ones bearings within the layers window is a given. It seems every few minutes, I have to stop and re-figure out where things are.
If one could right-click to set a layer header one of eight or so colors (like in photoshop and just about every other program that uses layers) this would increase my productivity quite a bit.
The rant ends. We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.

Granted, color-coding layers could be very helpful. That said, I find that group and layer labeling, and intuitive grouping and organization go a long way to keeping things straight.
I don't think I've ever done a project with a hundred layers, but I've been as high as 40-50 before and never really had a hard time keeping track.
Now, there is a shortcut that you might find useful. If you hit the X key on your keyboard, Motion will separate all the layers currently active in the canvas at the playhead's position ala Expose. This will allow you to select any layer easily. When you do so, the layer will become visible in the layers pane no matter how deep it's hidden.
Finally, there is a feedback thread for product suggestions that is actually read by the Motion team, unlike this forum.

Could you please add the abillity to search through layers?

CS6 has search capabilities in the Layers panel. You can search by layer type, name, Layer Effect, Blend Mode, Layer Atribute (i.e. whether a layer is visible or not) and by Assigned Layer colors)

Somehow lost the ability to color my tabs : ( What happened. I can't even find an option to add colors to the tabs. Help, please.

After running a scan with Malwarebytes today I lost my tabs, and after I recreated them, I discovered I no longer had even the option to color them. How do I get the color options back?

You probably were using an add-on for that, since there isn't a built-in way to color tabs.
One way to lose all your extensions is if Firefox "reset". If that happened, you should see a new folder on your desktop named "Old Firefox Data". Does that appear anywhere?

ILife crayons seem not to match the html hex color codes?

anyone to confirm that apple did not care about matching html hex color conventions with its crayons. eg. honeydew crayon looks so much different from f0fff0

I don't think those crayons are used for Web accurate colors. They're just descriptive if you're not particular about a specific shade.
You might want to look at an extension of Apple's Color Picker here.

Changing the Today highlight color

I was wondering if there is a way to change that color. Today is highlighted with a very faint blue, and for a person with bad color blindness it's very difficult to see and tell apart from the rest of the white boxes of the dates around. So i can't easily and quickly zoom in on the Today box. Anyone has any ideas?
I wish Apple had a little more consideration for the color blind people,
Saturatingly yours,

Mac needs to improve colors everywhere. In iCal if you add a calendar and, for example, label it red: unless it is the highlighted day, the red is a crummy dulled down red. Same with all of the other colors. The result is a calendar full of dull colors that are not helpful. Also the folders in mail and itunes must have the ability to color code. And why are there only a few colors to available to label folders on the desktop all of which are really distasteful? Basically the same choices since OS 7. I expect more from Mac on this.

Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?? I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker. I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too. I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Anne

You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut). I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

How to Color-Code Categories on Desktop?

I just purchased a Palm Z22 after years of owning a T5. I can choose colors for the categories on the handheld, but cannot get any color-coding on the desktop. Any suggestions on how to do this? Also, how to change the background colors on the desktop as well?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello legendeld-
Would you please add the suggestion to color code events? It strikes me as odd that Palm has removed a very useful piece of functionality that has been in its software as long as I can remember. I upgraded to 6.2 to fix the problem where undated tasks were given the date "12/31/2031" in Palm Desktop 4.1.4. Finding the removal of category colors was not a welcome result. I'm certain it's not making your other users happy either, especially after waiting a very long time for this upgrade.
Thanks very much,
Sean

Read masterpage's color code

All,
I have a webpart and it should read the masterpage's color code. For example, by default the color is blue. How could my webpart know it is blue? Please help
Thanks

You need to use the same CSS style used for master pages. Refer to the following article to understand more about the branding

ALV color codes

Hi all,
I understand that the ALV grid color codes consists of the following format:
CXYZ
X = 0 - 7
Y,Z = 0 - 1
Is there any way to display color other than the above? I need a dark grey color (the color when the grid is set to not editable). Is there anywhere to do that? The intensity option is not helping much.
Thanks in advance.

Why won't the color code I am trying to use from a windows machine work on my Mac? Code: PMS7409

Hi I'm an intern at a telecommunications and management company who are about to release an update on their website and server screens. My job is to create the new graphics and remake the presentation layers. I am also assigned to create a business card template, which is where my question comes. I am give a color code, from a Windows OS, and try to input that code into Photoshop CS6. That color code won't appear. It's a deep orange and the code I am being told is; PMS7409. I'm not sure thats a code (atleast on the Mac), but I haven't used a Windows OS in so long I don't even know if Windows has their own color coding system or what. Can someone help me out and tell me if this is me, my boss, or we're missing something and I'm going to look like an idiot?

Definitely not a colour code for mac, the only thing I suggest you do is if you get the code on your windows version is to get the other values i.e
instead and input those into it rather than the #colour code (Hue, Sat, B, R, G B) etc.
Also ... Colour codes are 6 figures long i.e the one displayed and also black #000000 and white #ffffff
however the one you gave is 7!

My typewriter toolbar is graying out the ability to change font size, type, and color.

My typewriter toolbar is graying out the ability to change font size, type, and color.

Here's what I have done in the past. Maybe not elegant, but
it works. (I
use PHP, but I'm sure you can modify for ASP.)
In the HEAD of each web page, include regular old embedded
STYLE tags,
but INCLUDE an external PHP file:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<?php include('styles/testcss.php'); ?>
</style>
</head>
Now in that included PHP file, just have CSS code which pulls
in your
dynamic data. Here's an example snippet:
body {
color: #600;
background-color: <?php echo
$row_recordset['bgcolor'];?>
Of course, you'll need the code for the recordset somewhere
too.

Color Code the Hyperlinks Dropdown

It would save a lot of time if the Hyperlinks Dropdown items were color-coded by Desktop, Phone, Tablet.
Similar to the way you can color code your Layers in AI PS and ID.
Like this:

Rohit,
no, this is not possible (and probably wouldn't be even feasible - since a contact can be member of more than one group, color-coding would be a little difficult)
However, you can check which group(s) a contact belongs to by pressing the alt/option button on your keyboard with the contact select in the Address Book.

It appears that Apple has taken away the ability to highlight, in color, file names, replacing them with just a hard-to-see colored dot. Can I get back the ability to highlight the whole file name in color?!

It appears that Maverick has banishd the ability to highlight, in color, file folder names, replacing the color highlight band with a hard-to-see color dot. Is there a way to get the color-band highlight ability to operate?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple has replaced that feature in OS X Mavericks by color tags, so you cannot get it back. The only thing you can do is to send feedback to Apple about it, so they will think about including it in future OS X versions > http://www.apple.com/feedback

[NEW] [IMAGES] Adding the ability to preview/live edit the source code.

If the Muse Team added this, they could relax and not worry about adding so many other features.
Sure, you can do this already in your browser. But it's not really a dynamically edit thing.
Here, let me demonstrate.
You could naviagate (or shortcut) to a new button, as you can see below.
Once clicked you will get a dialog to choose preset program, open your own, or exit.
As you can see above, if the user does not have Dreamweaver, it will be greyed out.
You could probably guess what the dreamweaver would look like, but the muse editor may look like this.
Maybe even some html tags in button form
Of course, it would have content in it, including the <html> structure, including <head> and <body>
Why add this? Well...
Since Adobe Muse doesn't support all the features of the internet, you can easily add it here yourself! Until they add a button of course.
Then the Muse Team won't be so rushed to get all these features out.
Really hope they add this.
Also, they could touchup and make it look nicer, I just did some quick photoshop.
Note: We kind of have this already, though we can only edit the header... sort of...
This could be already done by exporting the html, opening it in a text editor, editing the code, somehow adding it back to muse, and realizing that you forgot some code, repeat.
But that is too long of a process, this request is much easier.

Most Segregation of Duties (SOD) functionality has been moved to AACG. From my understanding AACG's job is to handle SOD across platforms (EBS, PeopleSoft, HFM, etc.), the visualization was probably moved to the AACG product and that's why it's no longer in the PCG product. Out of the box AACG can connect to EBS and Peoplesoft, you can build connectors for other platforms to manage SOD controls across these different systems. Because AACG is no longer an "EBS only" product, I believe the need to use AACG for all approvals/SOD functionality is required.
Think of AACG as your SOD workbench, where you can simulate SOD access, model controls, create controls, remediate incidents, etc. Between LogicalApps (5+ years old) and the new Oracle GRC products, there has been some migration of features to newer products.
Don't forget, If you feel you need a feature in a certain product (even if it has moved), you always have the ability to request it via My Oracle Support. I hope that has helped in understanding what direction the products have taken.
