View Options: Can't Pick Colored Background?

Colored backgrounds for folders like Applications, etc. carried over after upgradingto 10.7, but when I clicl on Arrange by Name to put things back in order the background color disappears and is replaced with white. When I click on Show View Options to choose a colored background, the options are greyed out and choosing a color isn't possible. Any way to rectify this?

Itunes crashed today & automatically installed 11.0.2 when I reopened it Chris.
There are definitely no "size" or "kind" boxes under View>Options, see screengrab. I didn't delete any playlists, they disappeared!

Itunes View Options - Can U change the default settings?

I am constantly adding "Composer" to my view options in my Itunes Library and when in ITunes Store. Is there a way to create a number of view options (eg. Artist, Album, When Added, Composer, etc.) and save this as a "default setting" so that I don't have to keep adding Composer. If there is, I haven't found it yet.

Time it was possible, don't you think?

Itunes view options - multiple Apple IDs

Itunes view options - can I see the 'account' that purchased a song / app / movie? We have a central iMac that Home Shares among multiple (5) Apple IDs but no way to see which 'asset' is associated with which Apple ID in the iTunes view .

this script will help:
Track Down Purchases
This script will examine each track in a selection of tracks or a selected playlist to determine if it was purchased from the iTunes Store and then copies it to a discrete playlist named for the person who purchased it, eg: "Steve Ballmer's Purchased Music". Recognizes song, video, and audiobook purchases. Purchaser information is gleaned by examining the track's file, which, depending on file location and access speed, can take as long a second per track.

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

'Show View Options" window colors is screwed up

If I open a folder window and then select Show View Options from the View menubar item I can change the color of that window. However, it will change to some completely different color after I close that window then reopen it. Upon closing and reopening repeatedly, it will keep alternating between my original color choice and the completely different color.
This happens if I use the color wheel to pick a color but it does not happen if I choose crayons for picking the color.
I have done a complete erase and install of 10.4.8 and with no other software added and the problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced this with a 2GHz Macbook core 2 duo running 10.4.8?
2GHz Macbook Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm experiencing the same problem. However, I don't think it's defaulting to an arbitrary colour. Rather, it seems to be defaulting to the exact opposite colour (than whatever colour was selected) in the spectrum.
For example, if I set the background colour of a folder to red, it instead defaults to green (and vice versa). This is consistent for all opposing colours.
I hadn't clued into Crayons being different — thanks!

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder?

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder? I've noticed in Finder's View Options that I cannot choose to sort by name and have a background color in icon view. I've done a search in discussions and someone else mentioned this as well.

To sort by name.....
Open the finder window, then select the "change the item arragement" button. Choose name from the drop down.

Can I change the background color when I'm in a brochure layout?

How can I make folder View Options the default in Snow Leopard?

Hi everybody! Here I am, learning to Mac!
When I do a secondary click on an open folder's background and click on +show visualization options+ (actually, +mostrar opciones de visualización+ in spanish), there's an option +set as default+ ( +ajustes por omisión+ ) which, as far as I understood, should change all the rest folder's aspect, as icon's size, font size, background image and so on... but all the rest folder's aspect keep being shown as before, just the folder where I am working changes.
My questions are: if I am wrong with the use of that "ajustes por omisión", what is it for? And how can I personalize the aspect of all folders on my mac?
Thanks for your help

It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.

How to change the color picker/color space view?

I wanted to change the color picker/color space view to what it looks like in the other Adobe programs. I have gotten used to using the color picker from the other programs and I have had problems with the look and function of this color view.
In InDesign the color picker looks like this:
And the Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. looks like this:
I've tried changing the "Convert To Profile..." and the Transparency Blend Space, but neither have done anything to what I want to be done.
Is there some way to change this in InDesign?
Note: I want to change the looks of the gradient-like area if that isn't obvious.

I was wanting to do the same change as you, until I saw your two images.
Within the InDesign image you've selected a dark blue colour (R:16, G:49, B:152) AND you've got the (R)ed channel selected.
Within the Photoshop image you've selected a white colour(R:255, G:255, B:255) AND you've got the (H)ue channel selected.
In Photoshop I can recreate both of your images by having the same settings for RGB/CMYK and selecting the same channel item as you have in those images.
That's all.
There is no difference between the two colour selection dialogs except where the HSB, RGB, CMYK and LAB are placed.

How can I turn on the Compatibility View Option?

In viewing a vendor's online reporting, I noticed that the report's header appears on the right, while the report's content appear on the left, creating a confusing viewing.
The vendor has recommended that I turn on the Compatibility View Option, but I cannot find this option anywhere.
Would someone direct me to the section where I can turn on the Compatibility View Option?
Thank you!

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.
