Top bar funny colour

I have just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5. Since doing so I have a very funny colored top bar (was white in 10.4) any idea as to how to fix or where to tweak or what causes it?
Thanks

Update to at least 10.5.2. Then you can go to System Preferences> Desktop > translucent menu bar and uncheck the box to restore your opaque menu bar.

    In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in. It is showing crash report with Relaunch option, when i click on Relaunch option finder is working properly but i am unable to see Top bar(Apple logo, Date and Wifi etc... bar). Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

    One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
    Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

  • The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it

    The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 3 days ago

    If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
    The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
    Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
    The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
    You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

  • How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

    Hello guys,
    Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
    How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
    When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
    Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
    All help appreciated!
    Greetings

    Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
    There are also many third party menu item utilities that can.  Search Macupdate.com for some.
    One search yielded iClock Pro.  Although I never used it I would think it allows customization.  The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app.  On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing. 
    One listed is iStat Menus.  The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that.  And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date.  So I use it instead of the apple clock.  It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

  • How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

    I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

    I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

  • My I Mac has a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave it with safari or mail open when I come back to it it has closed these down and I have to re open

    My I Mac has developed a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave for awhile with Safari or anything else left on when I return it has closed these down and I have to re open them, has anybody got any ideas how to cure these problems if possible.

    For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
    Also try resetting your iPad:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
    Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

  • There is  Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

    This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
    When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer.  Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
    If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance.  Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

  • My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?

    My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?
    This only started 2 days ago.
    I have seen much on line as this seems to be a common problem, however none of the suggestions posted seem to work.

    Thanks Drew,
    On clicking the US flag I had previously then unchecked the US box. It has rechecked itself, and I have unchecked it again. The GB English remains checked.
    The flag icon has now gone completely from the top bar (just replaced with character and keyboard viewer) -but that's fine. That's different to previous attempts to fix the issue.
    Hopefully now I will remain able to type a £ sign on the keyboard rather than get the criss-cross symbol. It may well default back in about an hour (which is what has been happening since this started 2 days ago). If it does I'll come back on here. Many thanks in the mean time for your help.

  • How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?

    Hi.
    My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
    It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
    but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
    I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
    but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
    As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
    I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
    I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
    Thanks!

    Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
    I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications.
