White light Gray or dark Gray...

Wow those are my choices and from what I read that is all there is.. I agree with the one post going to kill my eyes after a while even with the dark gray! Please develop some other themes for Office 2013!!

It's the worst. So confusing/depressing to look at. And what's with 2013? I am paying every month. Can't they even upgrade the year? Now that they are collecting an annuity stream, I guess everyone at Microsoft are all out on vacation...

Can you change the pasteboard color? (Dark Gray to a much lighter gray)

Can you change the pasteboard color? (Dark Gray to a much lighter gray)

In CS6 and later you can change the User Interface in the Preferences.
A brighter interface changes the pasteboard color. Tou can also check the Canvas Color to white.

I think this is an excellent indicator that not only is Palm reviewing the feedback from the support forums here, but actively reviewing feedback/comments/wishes on other sites as well.
As the original poster copied this (quite solid, IMO) wishlist from Pre Central, the palm support staff acknowledged first seeing it there.

Light Gray Borders in Dark Grid View

With iTunes 9.0.2, I was able to switch to the "Dark" option of Grid View and it worked fine. However, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and for some reason, the Dark Grid View option now shows light gray borders around the album art/video preview. When I click into the album art to show the listing of songs/videos, the view changes to the "Light" option. I've tried to delete all the iTunes preference files but it doesn't solve the problem. Here's what it looks like:

And when clicking on the video podcast link:

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

If you have to reset your iTunes preferences, go into User/Library/Preferences. Search for "com.apple.iTunes" and move the following three files to your desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Once you have the files to your desktop, restart your computer and iTunes should be back in working order!

Change default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray?

How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6?
In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds.
THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.
thanks

I should have looked a little harder for the answer.
To change the interface background color to another shade of gray in Photoshop go to:

The same method applies to Illustrator.

BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

On export white background is light gray

Hi,
When I export with quicktime conversion in any format the white background becomes slightly gray ... I am trying to embed in a Flash movie that is all white ... consequently I get a light gray box in my Flash movie. If I do a straight export to DV its fine.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Bill

Thanks for your ear ... Here it goes
1. I bluescreened an actor
2. Used Color Smoother 4:1:1
3. Used Chroma Keyer
4. Added a white background (PSD format but tried jpg and png) verified its white in Photoshop
5. exported with Quicktime Conversion to FLV varied settings
6. import into Flash and white background is faintly gray
alternative (which works)
5. exported DV version
6. opened in Quicktime Pro
7. exported as FLV
8. Looks fine
I'd definitely prefer skipping that alternative process in the future and love to know why this is the case.
Thanks for any wisdom!

Print quality for light gray gradients and shadows

Hello all,
I am putting together a single page flyer which will have light gradients and shadows on the objects.
Think Apple-ish light grays and shadows...
I would like to get an opinion here from someone in the know as I am much more of digital guy than print.
1) What is the lightest gray I can work with that would print well?
When setting up the CMYK color should I simply set it at say 10% 10% 10% 10% or is there some better mixture for light gray gradients. i.e. slightly blue for example, or rich black mixture.
2) When creating the gradients in illustrator, should I go from the gray to transparent or is it better to set up a gray to white gradient?
Finally,
When creating my supporting images with the shadows and gradients, would it be best just to create them in Photoshop and place them in my illustrator document and leave Illustrator for the text alone?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your help

Let's assume you are working in Illustrator. Here's my advice:
Hello all,

"I would like to get an opinion here from someone in the know as I am much more of digital guy than print.

- It should not be necessary to use 10% across the board. It comes down to how you want the shadows and gradients to appear. You ask what is the "lightest" Gray. That depends on the press and paper. Let's also assume you are planning for high end offset on a high end glossy "White" stock ( paper ). A 10% Black is fairly reasonable, but you could plan for 5%K ( again, depends on press and paper ). A nice warm Gray could be achieved with 7.5%C, 7.5%M, 7.5%Y, 0%K; a nice cool Gray could be achieved via 2.5%C, 0%M, 0%Y, 7.5%K. I would cross check a Pantone Process Color Guide for a reasonable choice. Do not rely on the monitor.
2) When creating the gradients in illustrator, should I go from the gray to transparent or is it better to set up a gray to white gradient?
- It should not be necessary to set your gradient to transparent. A typical scenario would be K > 0W; only specific requirements demand transparency.
Finally,
When creating my supporting images with the shadows and gradients, would it be best just to create them in Photoshop and place them in my illustrator document and leave Illustrator for the text alone?
- That depends on the file, the background, and a few other considerations. The key to shadows and gradients in Illustrator is they be applied as part of the final step in the file prep process. If you create the shadows, for instance, in Photoshop, the end file size may end up larger than you anticipated. And, the shadow would be resolution dependent ( less flexibility ).
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your help"
Before you get started with your file, contact the print vendor to find out what type of press and what type of paper they plan to use on your job ( of you haven't already ). Don't forget to set your document resolution in Illustrator ( assumed ) and the Raster Effects resolution. Another important thing to remember is nail down the actual Gray ( i.e., lookup in Pantone Process Color Guide printed on the paper type you plan to use on press ).

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?
Also not totally sure if it's an Intel based computer, but that's what I recall. Any way to check, since I can't get to About This Mac window?
It's running on OSX Leopard 10.5.4
First symptom = running slowly - then it kind of froze with color wheel spinning - thought a forced shut down would help - help power button til off, then white screen, gray apple and spinning gear.
Have tried...
1. Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
5. Let go of the power button.
6. Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Then try booting from your install disc again.
- No change
And...
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
- The fan just got louder.
Thanks for your help.

You need to do an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install depending on whether the hard drive is OK or needs to be reformatted.
Start by booting from your Leopard DVD. The rest is just following directions.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

ITunes stuck with White on Gray Background

I need help with iTunes please. Since I installed Lion, my iTunes switched to white on gray background, and its so hard seeing my lists on the sidebar. I've tried going under the preferences and choosing "dark" but that doesn't do a thing. Once I click an item it turns black luckily but I've ejected my iPhone accidently while syncing a number of times which the last two times caused it to wipe everything and I had to enter all the info back on from a backup
I updated everything before Lion and iTunes didn't do this; just after Lion.
Any ideas on how to to change it back?
It would be much appreciated!
I've attached a screen shot just in case, for a visual
Thanks!
p.s. I went through the discussions already on here, i saw a similar one but it was a university one and it had to do with iTunes store not a personal iTunes account and it was about 3mos ago and there was no resolution...apologies in advance if I'm not posting in the correct place.

Spoke with apple support as my iMac was still under applecare. The answer is a corrupted file. Solution is:
Delete the Caches folder in the user Library and in the Preferences folder, next
delete the com.apple.itunes.plist file. Restart the computer.
To locate the user Library folder which is now hidden in Lion:
in the Finder hold down the option key while clicking on the Go menu in the finder. Select Library Folder This opens the Library folder. Navigate to the above folder and file.
This worked for me.
