White text turning black/grey in Safari 3.1/3.2

I have a very odd problem I have not been able to find the answer to anywhere else. I have created a website that has white text on dark blue background. It looks fine in all other browsers except for Safari 3.1 and 3.2. All of the <p> tags have turned black/grey. I am completely stumped.

I haven't looked at your stylesheet, but lots of errors reported by the validator in your stylesheet that you may want to fix..

Do not worry about the errors being reported for the spry stylesheet where it refers to the iframe - they always throw an error, it's the others you have to worry about.

White text appears black/grey after export to PDF - but only on a PC!

I use Pages to make flyers in A4-format. But 8 out of 10 times I make one, convert it to PDF and send it to my boss via Mail, I get a reply where he says that everything looks good but the text.
I have a colored background or image with white text on top in its own layer.
This problem has been tauting me for several weeks now, and I thought I had the soloution recently when I started to make sure that the text layer where brought to the front (top layer). But still i get the message back that the text is either black or dark grey and can´t be read on his PC. It looks fine on my Mac, but not on his XP/Vista computer.
- I usually convert using the "Better" compression mode.
- I tried to convert it using Print - Print to PDF but the problem persists.
- I have deleted the plist-file as well. Same problem.
But since this doesnt happen with all my flyers, I am beginning to think that there is something I am doing "wrong" while making the flyer or that there is some kind of "rule" that I dont know about. Or is it an unstable PDF-export algorithm?
Can anybody help me please?

White text on black -- black text on white?

I have a pdf document that has a black background with (mostly) white text (highlighted text is blue).
Is there any way using Acrobat Pro X to invert that to get a "normal" document with black text on a white background?
If I try Tools > Pages > Edit Page Design > Background > Remove Background, there's a progress bar that says "Removing background," but after a short time that goes away having done nothing. If I try Update Background, I get an error message: "Adobe cannot find a background in this file. If you see a background, it was not added in Acrobat or by an AdobePDFMaker, and cannot be detected as such."

The only thing I can think of to try is to print the document and then scan it, setting your scanner to reverse black and white.

White text on black menus?

Hi all,
Since updating to Snow Leopard I noticed that when dock menus pop up, they are now white text on a slightly transparent black background. Personally, I really like this! Now, is there a way to get all drop down and context menus to look like this?
Thanks!
Steven

Sorry but no, it's not possible. You can tell Apple what you think here:

Text knockout CS4 - white text on black urgent

I am having problems with some white text (converted to paths) which is placed on a black background.. When viewing the pdf in Illustrator (CS4), the text shows up fine. When viewing in Acrobat (which the printers will print from), the white text has disappeared. This only applies to some of the text the rest is fine. I need to set the white text not to overprint, but in the attributes box it isnt giving me the option to uncheck 'overprint'. Its grayed out. Where can I do this?
many thanks!

I don't think that's case, Peter. It looks the OP violated Dov Isaacs' first rule of PDF: Thou shalt not utilize Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor.
The text, if I'm right was converted in ID.
If I'm wrong...well, nevermind.

OT: Downside of white text on black

I find both their examples -- the hard white on hard black
'villain' and hard
black on hard white 'hero' decidedly hard on the eyes. In
both cases a lower
contrast range would help.
(As I write this, I realise that the whole subject is
extremely subjective, and
depends on all sorts of factors. For example the screen I am
currently using
has black text on a white background, but the text is only
one pixel wide, and
this seems quite acceptable, whereas heavier text would be
less acceptable.)
This is a question I am wrestling with the moment. For
example, in a photo
album (eg:
http://www.corybas.com/Gen_page.php?new=1
) I, and most of the people
I have spoken to, prefer a dark background, as it seems to
show the photos off
better.
On the other hand for general information (eg:
http://www.cybec.com.au/ ) dark
text on a light background seems much better. It is easier on
the eyes, and it
permits you to use a wider range of text colours to
distinguish between
different sections.
The problem comes when you start mixing information pages and
photos on the same
web site. I think I will probably split the site into two
general sections, and
colour them accordingly, but it is a visual shock when you
switch from one
colour scheme to the other.
I would be interested to hear your opinions on this. If you
would like to
experiment, on the Corybas web site you can use 'Custom
options' from the main
album index to switch between four alternative colour
schemes.

Change White Text to Black

I've been googling to find a solution to a basic problem and cannot believe what I'm reading. The issue is white text/white background in the text messaging app. I NEED to change the text color from white to black and cannot believe this is not possible.
Could someone please tell me how to do it because it has to be possible.
Please don't say use the invert video option because this is NOT a workable solution.

I am using iOS 7.0.4 and I have seen white text in a blue/green bubble but that is not the same as "white text on a white background". Note that your original post said, "The issue is white text/white background in the text messaging app".
If you are asking if the white on green or white on blue can be changed then i believe the answer is no, that cannot be changed.

Change Background to White & Text To Black

Hello,
I am trying to use FCP7 to change my background to white (rather than black) and my text to white.
I used View -> Background -> White and then changed my text colour to white.
Everything seems fine in my timeline, and is rendered.
But when I go to Export video, the export has a blackbackground and no text.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Nick, I asked a friend about Color Matte. You were right. The next step is chose Color Solid then change that color from blue to white. Then add a new track and insert slug with the white color matte and all is good! Thanks!

Help me choose the right black for a background (white text on black BG)!

Hi all!
I am polishing an InDesign document for a magazine. The cover will contain a big black surface with white texts on top (alongside a white surface with black texts/graphics on top and there is also a color bar on top of the black surface.)
I was warned that standard black will not work for the black background and I was advised to produce a 'cyan black' or a '4 colour black' instead.
The cover of the magazine will most likely be like a book cover: fairly thick white cardboard/paper with a coated job.
What exact color choice would you recommend knowing that the text color will be 'paper white'.
I now have this Pantone Black C (from the Pantone solid coated library): would it be good for this job? And what about the other black text and graphic elements on the white surface? Should they be from the same black?
I was hoping for the most straight forward and saff answere to this question as soon as possible.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Best.
Nic

I agree with Bob.
Generally, I do ask the printer. But usually I set up a rich black with 50% cyan and 100% black.
Adding more than Cyan to the Black can cause misregisteration issues, usually I stick to a 2 colour build for the Rich Black when knocking out White Text.
If your printer suggests differently then use what they have asked.
A few general rules of thumb:
Don't use thin serif fonts below 10pt - as the serifs have a chance of filling in.
Use a slightly bolder version of the font if one is available.
Increase the kerning slightly.
Point size and and typeface is key to setting reversed out type. A font with thick hairlines will not break up as easily as one with thin hairlines. Italics tend to be problematic as in they can break up more easily than roman faces. Increasing the kerning here is vital as it prevents letters from joining up unintentionally.
When talking with the printers - let them know what type size and what font you're planning to use and if it will cause any issues with the print quality.

Screen turns black while using safari

While in safari, the screen turns black & returns you back to home. Appears to only happen on larger sites with lots of data. Getting worst now. Almost happens everytime we're in safari(WIFI). All other apps work fine. I have an Ipad (1). Cleared history & did latest update. Still a BIG problem. Any other advise. Please advise.

If you have cleared the history, cookies and data, you have pretty much done all that you can. Other users are reporting this same "crashing" behavior with Safari.
The only other thing that I can think of that MAY be of some help is to quit apps that are running the background. Few apps really do run in the background, but it doesn't hurt to try this and see if it does any good.
To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Some have suggested that if you are using iCloud - try turning off Bookmark syncing and that has helped somewhat.
Apple has announced an update to the iOS that is supposed to be released soon, hopefully they will address this issue in the update.

White text turns light green in Kindle App in iPad 3

I am reading a book in the Kindle app with the black background and the white letters. After 10 minutes of reading, the letters turn from white light floresent green. Very pretty, but not what it is suppose to do. Anyone seeing this?

To the best of my knowledge, the Kindle app does not support Text-To-Speech.

Hi,
While creating the Box use the Intensify option to make it Black/Hash, so the entire box will become in that color, then you can write the text on that one ..
<b>Syntax</b>
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Here INTENSITY is Grayscale of box contents as %. Default: 100 (full black)

Legend text turns black when converting a .ppt to .pdf

I have a picture of an Excel graph pasted into Powerpoint as an Enhance Metafile. When I convert the .ppt to .pdf, the legend text in the graph turns into a black filled box. Can you tell me how to avoid this? Thanks!

This isn't the proper forum for that. This is for the free Reader application which does not convert files to PDF.
Depending on what you actually use to convert to PDF, you may need a Microsoft forum or the Adobe Acrobat forum.

Websites using white text on black backgrounds display text as black on black. fix??

Thats it, the websites display correctly in safari.

It sounds like a Kernel panic.

...and before noon would even better...
You gave no information about what time zone you are in. The good news is that it is "before noon" somewhere in the world (about half the world) all the time.
