Unable to change colour of text

I have a simple illustrator document with some text on it. The text is green. I wish to add additional text to the document in the exact shade of green that the current text is in. Believe it or not, I can't figure out how to do this. I can select the text I want to to be green and select a colour from the swatches menu, but the shades of green available there are not the exact shade of green that I need. I tried selecting my newly written text, click the eye dropper tool, and then clicked on my old text (which is in the shade of green that I want) but this frustratingly changes the font of my newly written text to the same font as the original text, without changing it's colour.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Please be verbose in your response/instructions. Thanks,

I figured it out!!
So, in short.. the green color you have on the word CAR is a gradient. If you look closely you can see small bits of black around the edges of the word. Black is the original color of the text, and the green gradient is sitting on top of it as an appearance. It's a bit of a hassle that you cannot just apply a gradient color to live text but here is how you work around it.
1. Save the green color (gradient) as a swatch by selecting the word CAR and dragging the fill icon over to your swatches panel.
2. Next, select the text that you want to change (the word "Within"). Change it so it has no fill and no stroke.
3. With that same word selected, open the appearance panel. In the panel flyout menu, choose Add New Fill...
4. It will automatically choose black. Just open the fill option and choose the swatch you made it step 1.
5. Bam! Here is your desired fill.
6. As an extra step, if you would like to get rid of the black text that is peeping out from behind the green on the word CAR just use the Type tool and highlight the word car.
7. In the Fill section, Click the small thumbnail of black to select it and then click the option for None (white box with red slash) to remove it.
8. Here you go, clean lines!
I'm not sure if you meant to have a green gradient on your text, or if you just wanted one color green. Here, I've outline the solution for applying a gradient to live text and replicating the same gradient on other pieces of text.
I hope this helps solve your problem if it hasn't already been solved!

Changing colour of text in dreamweaver CS5.5

Before I was using Dreamweaver 8 and really liked how handy all the menus were, but since getting Windows 7 I have had to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am stuggling to do the most simple of tasks which is very annoying.
Anyway is there anyway to add text colours box to the bottom properties bar so I can just highlight the text I want on a page and then choose the colour I want the word changing to?
If not what is the easiest way to just change the colour of highlighted text?
Please help,
Thanks.

thanks, I found that but when I change the colour of the h3 headings, it changes all h3 headings on all pages which is not what I wanted.
You can avoid that by doing something like this:
1) Create a style like this:
.green {
color: green;
2) Create your HTML like this:
<h3 class="green">This is in Green</h3>
This should fix it for you.
Good luck.

Unable to change ADF standard text for af_table ("Fetching data...")

I wish to change the standard "Fetching data..." text displayed by ADF when scrolling through a table.
Looking at the description in http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/skin-selectors.html, I expect to achieve this by overriding "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING" in my skinning resource bundle.
I am able to override two af_column messages, but my af_table override does NOT work.
My bundle looks like this;
package com.vesterli.demo.skinning;
import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
@Override
public Object[][] getContents() {
return _CONTENTS;
private static final Object[][] _CONTENTS =
{ { "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING", "Hang loose, dude" },
{ "af_column.TIP_SORT_ASCENDING", "First things first" },
{ "af_column.TIP_SORT_DESCENDING", "The last shall be the first" } };
My trinidad-skins.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
<skin>
<id>vesterli.desktop</id>
<family>vesterli</family>
<render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
<extends>fusion.desktop</extends>
<style-sheet-name>css/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
<bundle-name>com.vesterli.demo.skinning.MySkinBundle</bundle-name>
</skin>
</skins>
Since I am seeing my customized column tip texts correctly, the reference from trinidad-config.xml to my skin should be OK (I am also seeing my visual skinning correctly). Since I am seeing some of my texts, my resource bundle must be valid, too. I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.
So why doesn't the af_table skinning work?
Any pointers appreciated.
Best regards
Sten Vesterli

I was having this problem too, found this thread and did cleanup here and there, redo etc. But ended up with no luck to fix it.
Just now discovered the issue is reproducible on the official demo site: table Skinning Key Demo
1. check the column sorting labels, prefixed with "Demo: "
2. change any selector setting to trigger a table refresh, it's always displayed as "Fetching Data...", without prefix.(as highlighted in the "Resource styles" on the same page, there should be prefix too).

Hello,
I have come across something that I have never had a problem with in previous versions of captivate. When attempting to enter my RGB colours in a gradient - black is the only colour it keeps reverting to? See below image - I entered in 255, 109 and 34. Colour picker reverts back to black. Is there something I am missing here? I would greatly appreciate anybodies help?
Thank you kindly

Unable to change PR fields

Hi Experts,
I have one strange problem, we are runing classic scenario and PR is created in R/3 system for each shopping cart. I am unable to change item short text, UOM, price etc of these PR using ME52N in R/3 system .
But if i create manually PR in R/3 system for the same document type, i am able to change these fields using ME52N.
Please advise how i can change PR field values which are coming from EBP system.
Regards,
Kamaljit

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ?
Alternatively, you try do the following.
<u>Execute ME52N Transaction for any of the Purchase Requistion number.Try changing the Text, UOM, price, etc using ME52N Transaction. Are you getting any error/warning message there ? Either it can also due to Missing BASIS authorization as well. In the same session, type /nSU53 transaction in the command menu on top left corner of the SAP R/3 screen.
Incase there is any authorization object missing, it will display the details on that in that transaction. Ask you BASIS person, to provide authorization access, by giving him the screen shot details of SU53 transaction.</u>
<u>Seems to be a bug in your R/3 system, which might be solved with any OSS note. Have you raised any OSS message with SAP yet on this issue. ? If the above solution does not work , try raising the same as well.</u>
Hope this will help.
Please reward full points, incase it suits your requirements.

Unable to change text size

So I have been unable to change my text size in itunes. When i switch between "large" and "small" text sizes the size remains the same, however the size of the menus and the itunes stores is small. I theorize it was probably some program I installed but since I am nearly constantly adding and removing programs I can't pinpoint which one it was. If anyone can tell me how to fix it or point me in the right direction that would be great. I am including my system info as well as a screen of itune. Thanks.

Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

Hi CaliWingsFan,
If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

WRT610N - Unable to change "Server Name" - No Text box.

I have my WRT610N running V2 firmware. In all of the documentation I see, on the Admin area within the Storage Tab, there is a text box next to the Server Name and you are able to update that field to change the Server Name. However, I have no textbox here, and thus am unable to change the Server Name. I've attempted factory defaults, firmware upgrades, and multiple reboots to attempt to solve the issue. Any help out there?
Thanks in advance

Whats the Firmware version is installed on your Router and whats the Version number of your Router? If it's an Version 2 Router, then it doesn't have an option to change the Server Name. As far as i know the Version 1 Router has an option to change the Server Name.
If its an Version 1 Router and if you have updated the firmware, with the latest firmware you don't have an option to change the Server Name, By Default its WRT610N.

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

How do I change the colour of text in a cell in a JTable?

I am trying to change the color of the text in a single cell in a JTable. I have tried not adding a cell renderer and it changes the colour of text in all cells.
I have tried adding a cell renderer to the table and it does the same ie all cells text colour changes.
I am able to add a cell renderer to a column and it changes all the cells in the column.
I cannot figure out how to change just one single cell's text colour without effecting the other cells.

Ok, so if i create my own cell renderer do I set it as the default renderer for the whole table i.e.
table.setDefaultRenderer(MyCellRenderer, renderer);
Does this set one cell renderer for the whole table or is there an individual one for each cell?

Change font colour in Text Field

If I have typed 'The Cat Sat On The Mat' into a text field yet I want 'The Cat' to appear in bold and the rest as normal, how can I do this or even in a different colour?
Any help would be appreciated

The only way to do this, is a text field that you change from plain text to rich text.
Then you can enter what you want, press ctrl+b to make something bold.
If you want to see the content of your box, use TextField.value.exData.saveXML() ...

How to change the colour of text property in Radio button?

Hello All,
I am having some radio buttons in my application. i want to change the colour of text property by default it is black.
Could any one please suggest me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

3d Text not changing colour in Photoshop CS6 Extended-Any Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm trying 3d text for the 1st time in Photoshop Cs6 Extended and thought I'd post my query on here as I've always found people to be really friendly and helpful.
The problem is every time I create new text and and change the colour it's always showing up as black. Nothing I do seems to alter this. Someone suggested a memory problem but I really don't know
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

Did a complete reinstall and that seemed to allow me to change colours.Interestingly when I did the offered upgrade it reverted back to the way it was.Although I can't seem to see the widget(with grid) that allows me to easily move the text around.Is that in CS6? There is an example at 57 seconds here:
