Use Resource Editor to change colors/fonts in Logic 8?

Many years ago I used to develop for the Mac (now I'm a Mac-challenged Windows guy).
I seem to remember ResEdit, where one could change the fonts and colors of the different objects of a program. Everything like this was in a resource fork, so that the program could be localized for different countries.
Any developers out there? Would this be possible with Logic 8?

Short answer: highly doubtful for fonts, probably possible for graphics if you really have the time.
Long answer: Since OSX, Apple has been trying to get away from using resource forks, although they are still obviously supported by the OS in some areas. Applications in OSX no longer can store their entire executable code and resources in a resource fork; they instead store them as plain 'ol files located within the program's bundle.
If you look inside the logic 8 bundle (by right clicking on it in finder and then going to "show package contents"), you can see for yourself what's there. You'll see that there's only 2 font files in the bundle, and both of them are used for scoring. Logic probably is using system fonts, and to change the way that it renders them, you'd also need to alter the program binary somehow. So you'll just have to keep begging apple to re-introduce the preference for non antialiased fonts.
As for graphics, you can see that within the Contents/Resources directory, there are hundreds of familiar TIFF files used to build the Logic UI. I suppose, if you really felt so inclined, you could redo them all yourself provided you kept each one the same size. However, it should be noted that this is kind of a fool's errand, not only because of the time involved, but also because any changes you make will get blown away by software update for newer versions of Logic.

Hello sniffters, It appears you would need to change the color of the text in the program that the text was created in.
I know of no printer setting, other than color and black and white, that can be made in the prinrer settings section..

Using a javascript to change the font size used by the measurement tool

A couple years ago I saw a javascript written that would allow me to chang the font size used by the measurement tool in Acrobat 9. When the IT department deliverd my new laptop with Acrobat X Pro, they had wiped out the script and I am not expert enough to recreate it from scratch. Any suggestions? I believe it was in an older post by Dave Merchant, but I truly can't find the post or a way to recreate the script. Thanks for any help.

Executing this code from the JS console will change the font size of all the Measurement annotations to 20. You can change the value in the first line to use a different font size:
var newTextSize = 20;
this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i in annots) {
    var annot = annots[i];
    if (annots[i].type=="Line") {
        var richText = annot.richContents;
        for (var i in richText) {
            richText[i].textSize = newTextSize;
        annot.richContents = richText;

Change color/font of tabs

Is there a way to change the color or font of tabs, in Forms 6i, based on certain data in that data block.
For example, I have a form with 8 tabs and 8 data blocks. Not all tabs have data. For the ones that have data I want to make a color (lets say blue) and the ones that have discipline I want to make that tab a different color (red for example).
Is there a way to do this? I looked at set_tab_page_property, but did not see anything about color of the tab. I was able to set the enabled/disabled successfully, but in this case this will not help me.
Thanks in advance.
Sandeep.

You can't change the font or color of a tab-page-"header". You can only change the text (maybe put the number of records in brackets behind the text)

Using Hue Saturation to change color of shirt not working

In CS5, I tried to make a selection of a white shirt and used Image > Adjustment >Hue Saturation, though when I drag the Hue slider, nothing happens, only a little bit of pixels of color change. Why is this.
Thanks.

1. So this is simply the wrong tool to change the color?
Are you familiar with the geometric representation for the HSB- or LCH-model?
The straight line connecting white and black is the axis that’s totally neutral, so changing the Hue or the Saturation/Chroma has no effect on points located thereon.
You can still use Hue/Saturation to colorize neutrals by checking the Colorize-box.
Or create a Solid Color Layer of the intended color and set it to Blend Mode Color and use a Curves Adjustment Layer to adjust the Luminance below that.
Edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV
Figure 2a might be helpful in illustrating the gray axis.

Importing a WinHelp project into RH 8 HTML changes the fonts in all my styles

I am trying to import a WinHelp project created with RH 8 for Word into RH 8 HTML. I have noticed two major things:
1. The first topic is preceded by the names of many fonts. At the end of these set of fonts, my topic appears. I am attaching a partial view of these fonts below:
Arial;Courier New;Symbol;Helvetica;Courier;Tms Rmn;Helv;New York;System;Wingdings;MS
Mincho ;Batang ;SimSun ;PMingLiU ;MS Gothic ;Dotum ;SimHei ;MingLiU ;Mincho ;Gulim

2. All Topics are imported as far as I could tell at a glance, but all the fonts have changed. I used styles based on the Normal_RWH.dot template that has been modified.
Anyone can tell me how to recover my fonts besides doing so manually?
Thanks,
Esperanza

It sounds like the first problem is related to Snippet 56.
http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm
My guess is you just delete the unwanted text.
To correct the styles you may be lucky and just have to go into the Style Editor and change the font for each style. If not you will need to look at the HTML and you will likely find an inline style sheet in the topics and maybe even inline styling. Sorting that out will depend on your knowledge of HTML.
Snippet 104 may also help you.
Post back if more help needed when you have worked through that.

Change Color in Messages and General Customization (Pixi Plus Verizon)

Hi everyone, I just got the Palm Pixi Plus and I'm still figuring everything out, so I hope this isn't a silly question. Is there a way to change the background color of each contact in Messaging? My outgoing messages are always green and incoming messages are always displayed in blue - is there a way to assign a color to a contact or message thread?
It also seems that in general, the display of the phone does not seem very customizable - is this true or have I just not figured it out? For instance, changing colors/font sizes in menu, adding a larger clock to the Launcher screen, etc, options that are pretty standard on all cell phones. Is changing the wallpaper really the only way to customize the display?
Thanks a lot!

Hello kbend and welcome to the forums;
By default, wallpaper and sound customizations are the extent of changes you can make. However, as was noted in the official Palm blog http://blog.palm.com/palm/2010/03/makeover-madness.html the homebrew community has the ability to "theme" your device, changing nearly every aspect of the user interface.
Please be aware however, adding homebrew applications or patches is not supported by Palm, and we would be unable to troubleshoot anything related to these features.
Hope this helps,

Changing color of arrow button in JComboBox

Hi all,
Can somebody please help me to change the color of arrow button in JComboBox

The default color uses to draw the arrow is UIManager.getColor("controlShadow"), so if you put a different color there, that would be used for the arrow buttons. Of course, that color is likely used other places as well, and so any other place where it is used would get your changed color too. For example, the scrollbar buttons for the scrollbar in the popup list would likely use that color.
Further, the current look and feel can override this; for example, the Metal L&F creates its own button, which uses its own icon which ends up using a hard-coded color of black when painting the arrow.

Changing system font colors?

Hi community,
I have been always a lover of dark backgrounds with light color fonts because it's much better for reading, at least for me.
1) Is there any way to change the way the system fonts color is displayed? I could change the background color using the options of the finder to a background gray color of 333333, but cannot change the font color to something around white, in order to get a better contrast between background and text.
2) It's possible to do the same in text editors?
Thanks in advance,
Mart

Hi,
Happens in the finder that the fonts are black, and I would like to change the font color from black (default) to white. If you take a look to the new Snow Leopard, you will notice that some texts are white over a dark gray background. That's aesthetically super cool, and much better for reading. Here is an snapshot of this thing: http://www.zone-numerique.com/uploads/News/090216/capturesnow_leopard_dock450.jpg You can see how good is the contrast with white over dark gray. I would love to have the whole OS set this way, instead white & light gray (default).
Thanks,
Mart

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Marcel

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Bruce

Text deleting when I try to change color or actual font

I will try to explain. So say I have a photo (or blank canvas) and I have typed words on it. If later I go and double click the word (or layer, etc) so that I can change the color of the word(s) &/or change the actual font, it will just automatically delete the whole word(s) on that layer.... which means I have to go change the color &/or font again BEFORE typing anything, and then re-type it all. So I guess in other words... I guess the text is deleting when I try to change the color or actual font (after it's already typed). Sorry if that's confusing.
(I have a Mac, and I am using the Photoshop that comes with the Creative Cloud subscription).

Something is wrong here, the text should not delete when changing font, color or whatever.
But try this. First off you don't need to double click to change the text atributes.
Just make sure you are on the correct text layer, have commited the text but keep the text tool the active tool. Now in the options bar you can change any or all attributes (color, size, font etc). The text updates real time.
You only need to select word(s) if you want that word to be in another color/font/whatever than the other words of that same text layer.
If you want to change the attributes of more than one text layer in one go then you must select those layers before changing attributes in the options bar.

Lightroom crashes every time I try to change the font color of my identity plate

I use the LRB portfolio plugin to create my website. Every time I try to change the color of my identity plate, lightroom crashes immediately. I can change the font and size without the problem, only a color change causes the crash. I tried to trash the plugin, but it still behaved the same way. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi Sean,
thanks for answering. No, it crashes anyway. I tried changing the identity plate color in all different modules. I was able to change it once when I had just bought a new computer and installed Lightroom, but now I can't. I wonder if there are any cache files or anything causing this. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to fix it myself. I wondered whether LRB is causing a problem simply by having it installed, but as I said, after I removed it from the Web Galleries folder, the problem still occurred. Is there any way to recreate the identity plate in Photoshop (same font and size etc.) and reimport it into Lightroom? I need to finish my website and my name is sol light, it is barely legible. Any fix or workaround would be appreciated.

How to change the font color of a particular row in af:table

I have a <af:table> bounded to a readonly ViewObject and this view object is a collection of an sql query. Now when this table is rendered i want font color of the specific attributes to be changed based on certain logic.
Eg. If my af:table is showing a resultset which has Attributest like ... EmployeeName | BalanceLeave . Then i want that the BalanceLeave value shoud be displayed in RED color if leave balance attribute value is more than 20.
Please help me on this.

For this you use the styleClass property of the attribute and use an EL bound to a managed bean to return the desired style.
Something like this to switch the color public class ColorSwitchBean {
    public ColorSwitchBean() {
        super();
    String mStyleClass = null;
String mColorSyle = null;
    public String getStyleClass() {
        FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ELContext elc = fc.getELContext();
        ExpressionFactory elf = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
        String sval =
            (String)elf.createValueExpression(elc, "#{row.City}", Object.class).getValue(elc);
        if (sval.startsWith("S"))
            mStyleClass = "red_background";
        else if (sval.startsWith("M"))
            mStyleClass = "green_background";
        else
            mStyleClass="";
        return mStyleClass;
     public void setStyleClass(String aStyleClass) {
        mStyleClass = aStyleClass;
    public void setColorSyle(String mColorSyle) {
        this.mColorSyle = mColorSyle;
    public String getColorSyle() {
      FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ELContext elc = fc.getELContext();
      ExpressionFactory elf = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      String sval =
          (String)elf.createValueExpression(elc, "#{row.City}", Object.class).getValue(elc);
      mColorSyle = "";
      if (sval.startsWith("S")) {
          mColorSyle = "background-color:Red";
      else if (sval.startsWith("M")) {
          mColorSyle = "background-color:Green";
      return mColorSyle;
}and this inside the table:- <af:column sortProperty="City" sortable="true" headerText="#{bindings.Departments.hints.City.label}" id="c1" styleClass="#{ColorSwitchBean.styleClass}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.City}" id="ot2" /> Timo
