Why does InDesign interface keep reverting to dark?

I keep having to go into preferences and reset the interface to the Light theme, because whenever I open a new InDesign session after switching the computer on it reverts to the Dark UI. I have saved my Workspace and Synced with CC and it still keeps going back to dark. And if I try to Sync rather than reset prefs, I would have expected a conflict with the cloud pref settings, but there is nothing - it just stays dark! Also when this happens I notice that the "Recent" documents list is gone from the file menu.

I hate the dark interface. I've written long explanations of how I think the dark interface infiltrated the graphics applications.
However, Adobe put a lot of effort into the dark interface, and many photographers wanted it for Photoshop and then Illustrator and InDesign. And given all that work, I don't think they will change the default.
Just like they're not going to change the default unit of measurement from picas to inches. And believe me, most people I see have no idea what a pica is, much less how to use it.

  • Why Does Indesign Server Keep Crashing?

    Hello,
    I'm using InDesign Server 6 to run a publication with multiple products. I'm using a 3rd party plug-in to automate the process with a XML data file. When I start the script I created to run the publication through InDesign Server it runs fine when  the data file has a few products (3 or 4), but when I tried to run the script with a larger XML file it crashes and I get the following error message:
    Has anybody else encountered this error using InDesign Sever? I know the Sharedcontent plugin error usually means there is a file compatability issue, but my template files were all created in CS5.5, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also I've tested this process on the the desktop version of InDesign CS6 and the same data file doesn't cause a crash.

    Well, you're not using the most recent versoin of CS6. Try upgrading to 8.0.1.
    Windows APPCRASH messages are nearly useless I don't suppose you could try it on a Mac or on a Windows machine with WinDBG installed...

  • Why does InDesign CS5 keep crashing with one particular document?

    I have CS5 for both Mac (OS 10.7.4) and Windows (XP). An INDD file that was working just fine for me yesterday is now causing crashes when I open it... on both machines! Other documents open just fine.
    The only thing I've tried so far is to move all my linked images (there are 21 so far) into another folder.  When I open the doc, I now get the pop-up window that tells me I have missing links, but once I click on anything in that window (either update or don't update), the crash happens right after that.
    Any ideas??  I am on a deadline and have lost most of today already.
    Thanks,
    Ellen

    Ha! Thanks for jogging my memory... our system IS backed up daily, and now my friendly IT guy is going to look for the last backup of the file. Silly me for not remembering that.
    I'll try uninstalling the fonts next.  I do not use a font manager at work.
    Thank you,

  • Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start?

    Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start? Not every time, but often. It's very frustrating to have to re-enter all my prefs. Every once in a while I start up InDesign CS6 and the new document dialog shows page sizes in po (I always use inches) and the prefs all seem to revert to default.

    Do you have a Windows PC and when shutting down, is Indesign still open? If so, this can result in a damaged preferences when still writing while Indesign is being terminated by the system.

  • Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos

    why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

    why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

    I'm having the same issue.  Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
    If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
    Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

  • Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

    Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

    When an app is downloaded to your phone what is downloading is an installer. Once the installer downloads in installs the app and then is deleted. You can see a reference to this if you watch the App's icon in the App Store after you tap on download. It will first say downloading then that will change to installing. The amount of free space on your phone must be enough to accommodate the installer and the app plus have some left over for system work. You're just too close to the minimum for everything to work.
