When using Preview can I change highlight color

I like using Preview because it is so fast when opening a pdf file.
When I use the search function and get a list of all the found items, I start browsing each of the pages. However, the text is highlighted with a light gray bar. As this is difficult to see, I would like to change the color.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

I found an answer at this link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=170739
Using shift - tab a couple of times changes the highlighted text in the PDF to the selected preferred color that is set in Appearance in system preferences.

  • Can I change highlight color for "today?"

    I have trouble telling the difference bewteen the shades of blue in the monthly calendar and the "Today" box.  The shades are so close to each other it's hard to quickly find today's date.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color to something that contasts more with the light blue? 

    I'm afraid not, but other posters have suggested that if you have the display's contrast set too high it's difficult to see the highlighting, so you could try reducing that and see if it helps.

  • Can I change the colors used in iOS7?

    Can I change the colors used in iOS7?
    The white background makes reading text and numbers very difficult.  Especially if the are in light gray.

    The answer to your question is "No"...and what you're experiencing is a major gripe with this "Upgrade".
    If Apple would allow the Invert Colors option to be activated without the effect that has on images it would resolve most of the concerns about iOS 7.  I would even consider downloading it... again.

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online? 
    Thank you for your time.
    You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

  • In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a negative number to red,  during the period the number is negative.    Thanks,

    Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a number to RED when it  comes up negative.  (only during the time that it's negative)  Thanks,  ( I hope I did this right!!) 

    The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
    The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

  • How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

    The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

  • Can't change the color of a symbol I created

    I am a beginner in illustrator, and I have been doing some online tutorials. I have run into a problem that I can't seem to find the answer to. I'm hoping you guys can help. I am doing a basic tree, I made a couple leaf symbols so that I could just easily duplicate the leaves. However, now I am going back and adding color and while some of the leaves I can change from black to green. Other leaves will not change color, they stay black to matter what I do. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to fix it. I am wondering if I did something wrong when I made the symbol. I am able to put a new color on the leaves that I made first. I made about 5 then I made a new symbol with the leaf a bit smaller and then another one with the leaf flipped. I think it is these leaves that I can't change the color on. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Are we talking about "real" symbols in Illustrators symbol panel?
    How exactly do you try to change their color? You can't simply apply a color to a symbol instance, you need to either edit the symbol itself or expand the symbol instance (detach it from the symbol) or use the symbol-color-tool.

  • How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

    Hi,
    I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
    How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
    I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
    In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
    Thanks a lot

    To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
    To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
    To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
    This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
    One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
    If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

  • How can I change the color in this "pieces"

    Hello guys, I'm new in the forum and I'm searching for help.
    I'm using a free template that I downloaded from
    the internet but I'm having a small problem.
    When I put the logo that I want use in the template, the color is not the original one,
    after some minutes trying to discover how I could change it to the original version of the logo, I found an option on "fill" with a color that I could change..
    the problem is that when I change the color, all the logo changes in the same time, so I created 2 logos.. one of then only with the dark color and the other with the red color
    so with this method I could change both colors on this "fill" option and all would be okai.
    the problem is that both of the logos are changing in the same time.
    I need to change the X to RED and the Moto to Black
    Another problem that I have is : the little pieces of the logo that come all togheter, they are all black.. and i need to change it to the right color.
    cause the text are in one color and the pieces are all black.

    I did it, but i saw that Fill effect is a little "Shadow" behing the text... just for a small white line... I'm almost done with this intro, now I'm trying to find out how can I change the color from the X and MOTO
    cause when I change the color, both changes, and this can't happen.
    I need the X red and the Moto dark...
    I made 2 compositions ... one with just the X  X red.. and another with just Moto in dark color... but I don't know how to put this 2 compositions in 1 composition.

  • How can I change the colors of a photo?

    How can I change the colors in a photo?

    No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

  • How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different

    Hi All,
    How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different colors, to be displayed on site.
    jeff

    Hi priya,
    The requirement that you have stated is not a standard feature in ISA CRM. In order to do the same, you will need to modify the standard ISA code in Java. A common path for the solution would be as follows:
    1. Colours
        a. Maintain a text type for Color under the object - PCAT_ITM in Customizing.
        b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search within your new text type as well. (In standard it only searches in Description.
       c. Maintain all shirts colour data in the new type created in step a.
       d. Your requirement will be done!
    2. Price
      a. Use list prices for your shop and assign the appropriate condition type, acces in your catalog.
      b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search on the list prices as well.
      c. This too will be done!
    3. Accessories - This is very tricky, and will require some exploration. However, here's my opinion,
    a. Search for the standard function module, which will return the accessories when provided the product as an input.
    b. Modify this function module according to your requirement and ensure that it can be accessed remotely.
    c. Modify the JSP as in steps 1b and 2b above to call this new remote-enabled function module.
    d. Now you're done!!
    The ISA modification part is not so simple, you need a really good guy like "Sateesh Chandra" who'll be able to handle your requirements. This is all I could manage, hope it is some help to you!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nelson.

  • HELP!Can't change text color photoshop 3d

    Hi everyone!
    I am having a problem with Photoshop CC and the 3d text extrusion. I've never been able to change the color of my text using the Color Picker or changing the text color by going into the "Edit Source" feature and manually changing it. Neither of these have any effect on my text color. The only way I've found to change my text color is by selecting the Diffuse color under my Front Inflation Materials.
    The screenshots below will show my settings and problems.
    The first step is creating the 3d Extrusion text layer. I have selected below the word Beach in a dark grey.
    The next step is after the 3d Extrusion layer is made, I am trying to change the color of my 3d text to a red. So I'm highlighting my text layer, going to the 3d Text Color picker and selecting red. The box above shows the red that I've selected, and below the little thumbnail also shows red. My problem is that after I press "Ok", the small red box below next to text reverts back to the original dark grey and doesn't change.
    The 3rd step and the other way I'm trying to get my text color to change is by clicking on the "Edit Source" button, going into the .psb, manually changing my text color to red, saving and closing the window. The text color still does not show my changes. It remains the original dark grey color that I originally had. Now, if I go back into "Edit Source" my text is red, but it won't show the changes on the 3d layer.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is there something I'm missing? Thank you guys in advance.
    -Terry

    I'm with you XM Just got Steve Caplin's book on 3d Photoshop and he says you can easily change the color as shown in  that video —although I am getting different color picker. note the properties panel (on right) the color swatch shows pink once I click OK it reverts back to original color

  • Changing Highlight Color Behind Theme Button

    Hello -
    I've scoured this message board and saw similar postings, but none that answered my question on how to change the highlight color behind the theme button. I put together a DVD w/button themes that play the videos inside, and when my friend goes to click on the buttons, in order to play that chapter, he sees the 'white highlight' that represents which button he is selecting. He has asked me if I can change that highlight color - is this something I can do in iDVD5? Thanks!!
