Window specific color inversion app?

I'm trying to find an application for my wife that will do what the 'white on black' setting under Universal Access does but for a specific window or section of the screen. There's a site she uses that's hard to read, but the site won't allow the color scheme that makes it easy to read for her. Are there any apps like this? Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Try reading the text of articles with the Safari reader (Shortcut: Command-Shift-R). Alternatievely, get the Readability add-on to Safari from:
https://www.readability.com/addons
This allows you to apply an inverted color scheme to text, only, leaving image colors unchanged. It also allows you to specify larger fonts, and use wider margins for documents, as well as remove extraneous surrounding images (permitting more space to be devoted to the the larger font text). You must have javascript enabled to use this. The Safari reader function was based on an earlier version of Readability, so the add-on will work in more instances than Safari reader, as well as permit you to customize the page appearance and invert colors.
A better solution for VoiceOver users than using the add-on is the Readability bookmarklet, saved to the Bookmarks bar instead of the added buttons on the Safari toolbar. This allows applying the javascript web bookmarklet by keyboard shortcut using Command-1 (if this is the first bookmark saved to the Bookmarks bar, for example). However, the current web page for the Readability Bookmarklet (in English) at:
https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets
has accessibility problems if you try to navigate with VoiceOver: Also, the resulting bookmarklet cannot be configured to select the inverted color scheme if you are using VoiceOver.
A VoiceOver usable version of the Readability bookmarklet page is still available for the Spanish Readability page:
http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/es/
Adjust the page style, font, and margin settings to your selection, then either drag the bookmarklet to the Safari bookmarks bar, or (with VoiceOver) create a bookmark to this page on the Bookmarks bar, then navigate to the "Readability" link and use the context menu to copy the link. Paste this (javascript) into the URL address of the bookmark.
HTH.

How to inforce specific color settings in InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to set specific color settings when creating a pdf from InDesign in Java script (not as a preset). What I found in previous discutions is:
#target InDesign
app.ColorSettings.cmsSettings="MyColorSettings";
( in the Forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1108248#1108248),
which just somewhat make sence to me.
I saved my MyColorSettings.csf file in color settings folder, but I am not sure how to tell the script to access it, and I am not sure that that's the only
reason why the lines abouve don't work.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

Yulia, everything wrong in your script: first of all, setting cmsSettings and cmsSettingsPath at the same time makes no sense — this is the same as choosing a setting in Color Settings dialog and then clicking the Load button and selecting another setting — the second cancels the first. So, you need to set only cmsSettingsPath property. If you take a look at this property in OMV, you'll see that it requires File not String, as you are trying to set.
I would use the following code:
var myPath = "/Volumes/SPACE/Prepress/Export settings/InDesign CS4/ShowPDFoptions_CS4.jsx";
var myFile = new File (myPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
else {
alert("File \""+ myPath + "\" can't be found.");
You don't mention if you use Mac OS or Windows, or both at your work.
On Mac volume name should be prepended with "/Volumes":
/Volumes/Remote/dir/file
On Windows, to access a remote volume, use a uniform naming convention path name of the form
//servername/sharename.
Or, if you have a mapped network drive:
/Z/foldername/foldername/filename
Where Z is a letter corresponding to your drive.
To find out the path to a file, you can also use the following script:
myFilePath = File.openDialog("Locate the file");
$.writeln(decodeURI (myFilePath));
It writes the path of the chosen file to console

Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop.
In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well.
The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
accounts are installed and working properly.
I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
on my laptop.
The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
Can you help?

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,

How do I input a specific color value for a shape?

I've been trying to figure out why I cannot input a specific color that I want for a shape. I'm not just choosing a color that looks nice, I'm trying to match it to a solid color in the next clip. Ive tried to use the eye dropper to get the color from the next clip but I cannot copy anything outside of the color pallete provided. I know the value of the color (from 0-255 it's R:191, G:211, B:217) but all FCPX has is 0 - 1, which is some other kind of color value system I've never seen before. Does anyone know how I can put that specific color value into the shape generator?

Click the color swatch to open the Apple color picker. This is common to all Mac apps.
Click the second tab for color sliders. Change the popup to RGB.

Action to change specific colors

I'm trying to create an action to change two specific colors in ~300 different logo files (.ai and .eps). I'm coming from Photoshop so I assume there is a way to create a droplet from an Illustrator Action but that's a different topic.
The colors are Pantone 143 and 287 which need to be changed to 143 U and 287 U, respectively.
Here are the steps that I think I need to record for my action:
Unlock all layers
Add new colors to swatch board
Select all layers
Recolor Artwork... (Edit -> Edit Colors -> Recolor Artwork... This step is not recorded?)
Save file
The problem is that the Recolor Artwork step is not recorded. Can anyone explain what I should be doing to create this action properly?

JavaScript is the answer. I found this somewhere A while back. This script changes Pantone 133 to 101. It can be edited to apply to any other Spot colors.
This script requires both the old color and the new color exist in your swatches pallette before you run it.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
          var replaceColor = swatches.getByName('PANTONE 101 C').color;
          for (var i = 0; i < pathItems.length; i++) {
          with (pathItems[i]) {
                    if (filled == true && fillColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                              if (fillColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') fillColor = replaceColor;
                    if (stroked == true && strokeColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                              if (strokeColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') strokeColor = replaceColor;
          for (var j = 0; j < stories.length; j++) {
                    with (stories[j]) {
                              for (var k = 0; k < characters.length; k++) {
                                        with (characters[k].characterAttributes) {
                                                  if (fillColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                                                            if (fillColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') fillColor = replaceColor;
                                                  if (strokeColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                                                            if (strokeColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') strokeColor = replaceColor;

Layers look fine, but printer prints color inverse

Throughout a project using Photoshop CS4, I print out the pages to make a dummy booklet. Once, upon opening the file and wanting to print, the preview window for Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer showed a color inverse for the entire file. Viewing the images is normal in all ways. I had been making routine nudging, text editing, etc., on various layers and everything looked and behaved fine. It's only in the printing. I looked to see where a correction could be made, but I can't see anything. I tried to have the printer make color adjustments and have Photoshop make them. Nothing seems to help. Suggestions, please!

Not remotely enough information.
What EXACT version of CS4, is it Photoshop 11.0.2? Macintosh or Windows? EXACT version of the OS? EXACT version of the printer driver?
Can you post screen shots showing your Layers panel and the Photoshop print windows?

Color problem, black 'noise' on specific colors

Dear adobe users,
At the moment I have a problem with a few specific colors within photoshop CS6, on top of my original colors you'll see a black noise effect. Some effect you'll suspect when you've turned on a different color mode. But i'm working with the normal RGB/8 color modes which shouldn't be a problem. If i save this document to a JPEG and open it with Windows Preview, the color problems dissapear. Funny thing is, if I get my color picker and hover on a black spot on my original document, the right color shows up in my color picker and not the black color I see on my screen.
What can cause this problem? Tried google to find the problem, but no luck so far. Driving me crazy as this isnt really working for me. Thanks for the help so far!

I'm guessing you have an ATI video card and have updated to Catalyst 13.1 (or gotten the WHQL driver through Windows Update).
Catalyst 13.1 has a problem properly running Photoshop CS6's GPU-based Adobe Color Engine. Basically if the red channel reaches 0, all color will be blacked out.
A workaround that retains most of your GPU functionality but avoids the problem is this: Change the Drawing Mode to Basic in the Advanced Photoshop GPU preferences. Restart Photoshop after making the change.
A possibly more acceptable workaround is to completely uninstall Catalyst 13.1, then seek out Catalyst 12.8, specifically, on Adobe's web site. 12.8 works quite well in Advanced mode.

Create a signature capture for Windows Phone 8.1 App

You can capture the signature by listening to pointer messages and storing the points as they come through. You can then render them as Path segments.

Make clickable UI-elements for windows Phone 8.1 apps maps

Windows Phone 8.1 App , C#
I would like to let the user add Pushpins ( which apparently are called MapIcons ) to the map and when the user clicks the newly created Pushpin some other ui-elements should appear.
But apparently MapIcons are not clickable and you can not inherit from them since they are sealed, so no luck in making them clickable.
I tried to just extend from Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button , but those have not Location, probably because the do not belong to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps-namespace. So I can not really add them to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.Children
or Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.MapElements, since they will not be on the map where I would want them to be.
So how do you make a clickable ui-element that I can give a location on the map?
I already was here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn792121.aspx#showing_xaml_controls_and_shapes_on_the_map
But I don't see how I can add clickable elements to my map
I could write something like this of course
        <Maps:MapControl Grid.Row="1"
            x:Name="map"
            MapServiceToken="token"
            >
            <Maps:MapIcon>
            </Maps:MapIcon>
        </Maps:MapControl>
But this MapIcon again is not clickable and it also staticly coded. I want to add mine dynamic.

Hi Michael,
Yes, as you said the MapIcon is not clickable, then for the workaround, please try to check the reply which posted by @Jogy in here:

Color inversion from iMac to TV

Hey,
My iMac desktop is extended to a Sony EX402 40" TV screen with this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-di...er-1080p-34025
The problem is when im watching content on the TV it will go black after a couple of min and im getting color inversion. Its also a familiar problem for the Apple TV (scroll down for screenshots):
http://www.macstories.net/news/apple...d-philips-tvs/
Anyone knows a solution for this? I tried several HDMI ports on my TV but no luck. I could try to plug a different HDMI cable in or maybe the adapter is faulty
Im getting this on my SONY tv:
Anyone familiar with this?

Did you check Sony's support pages to see if there's a firmware update available for your TV? For example this which gives you version M8.717. (That link is to Sony UK. You better find the relevant page for your region.)
If that doesn't solve it then I'd suspect the HDMI converter.
My iMac is an older model, the late 2009 21.5" model. But I have it connected to a Sony V530 with no problems using a Kanex mini DisplayPort to HDMI converter (this one). Initially I had problems with the sound. I only got mono sound, but it turned out to be a problem with the HDMI socket on the TV. After I moved the cable to another socket, I got stereo sound.

Is it possible to have Multiple Browser Windows for a Faces App

I have just read from another thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=308725
that states:
..the RI only keeps state for one URL at a time (in the words of the spec: "if the JSF implementation has saved state information for a tree identifier /foo in the user�s session, but receives a request with URI /faces/bar, the saved state information will be thrown away.").
That means that if you hit the /faces/ servlet with anything (e.g. /faces/css/mainX.css) after it has rendered your .jsp page, all the state necessary to process your form will be lost.
This must mean that I cant have more than one browser window with a faces
app at a time, I think that it is necessary to provide the funcionality.
My application is showing database tables and allows the user to edit them, but to restrict the user to one window doesnt seem feasable.
If you cant have more than 1 window then command_hyperlinks have serious drawbacks in that the user could be tempted to right click and open another window, then the application would not
work when changing from one window to another.
I have an idea but I cant see how to get it to work.
a hidden page-thread id that identifies which browser window/tab the user is on and that identifies a page-thread map that stores values such as the component tree and other things like list iterators, the problem is that if the user "clones" the window you would need to clone the map and change the hidden page id.
Does javascript know a window id that it could send?
Any bright ideas.
How do uSoft manage this?
Is http the right protocol????
As I understand faces apps should be run in a browser window with no back/forward buttons and without any command-hyperlinks to /faces/... so that the user can never break the program, is this correct?

This used to be the case until EA4 because it has been fixed. Future release will also support necessary API that gives you control over what to save or what not to.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

How to import MySql database to windows phone 8.1 app

Hello everyone I'm Designing a new windows phone 8.1 app and I need some help from you.
I have a database that Im using for the some app but for Windows.
currently using db4free.net
and use this code
Mysqlconn = New MySqlConnection
Mysqlconn.ConnectionString = "server=db4free.net;Port=3306; user id=%%%%%; password=%%%%%%%; database=%%%%%%%%"
Dim READER As MySqlDataReader
Try
Mysqlconn.Open()
Dim Query As String
Query = "SELECT * FROM Manager WHERE Name='" & TextBox1.Text & "' AND Password='" & TextBox2.Text & " ' "
Command = New MySqlCommand(Query, Mysqlconn)
READER = Command.ExecuteReader
Dim count As Integer
count = 0
While READER.Read
count = count + 1
End While
If count = 1 Then
MsgBox("Mire se vini'" & TextBox1.Text & "'")
FORMAKRYESORE.Show()
Me.Close()
ElseIf count > 1 Then
MsgBox("Mire se vini'" & TextBox1.Text & "'")
Else
MsgBox("Manager'" & TextBox1.Text & "' is not in the data")
End If
Mysqlconn.Close()
Catch ex As MySqlException
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
Mysqlconn.Dispose()
End Try
this is the code that I use to login. but on windows phone cant import Mysql connector. not sure why... any suggestion how to deal with this?
or should I use SQLite? I dont know nothing about the code on SQLite...

If this is supposed to work just on the phone then SQLite or a Local database.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202860(v=vs.105).aspx
For small amounts of data, serializing and deserializing classes to isolated storage is faster.
Phones aren't always connected to the interweb.
Even if you are planning on using a central database on some server and connecting via services, you will almost always also need to store some data locally.
It's in your interest to ask questions in the appropriate forum for the technology you're using.
As it is, you're asking wpf developers a question about windows store app development.
It's similar but different.
Which is probably why Magnus is unaware of local database and I probably omitted something else.
It's not what we do.
I've written a grand total of one windows store apps.
Magnus probably has a similar level of experience.
Hope that helps.
