OS X V10.7 Lion :: Change White Default Color Of Finder Windows In Column And List Views?

Jun 27, 2012

Is there (or will there ever be) any way to change the white default color of finder windows in column and list views?  Or is there a 3rd party app? You can change them in icon view but that's the only view I never use. My eyes get so tired staring at white all day. If I could make all my windows dark grey I could work longer, better, happier.  Would also love to make the Mail app dark.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Blurry Icons On Finder?

Mar 14, 2012

For the last month, random icons have become blurry. Restarting fixes it temporarily, but it returs. PRAM reset does nothing, cleaning caches via Coctail is a temp fix. Disk utility is useless.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: View Only The Desktop With Icons And The Finder?

Mar 14, 2012

I have a hot corner set up to show the desktop.. in Snow Leopard when I exposed the desktop and then clicked on the finder in the dock *just* the finder would show. 

Now, with Lion, when I click on the finder it comes into view but all the other open applications come sweeping back in hiding the desktop. 

Can I change this back to the way it was before? Or is there another sneaky quick way to show only the desktop and the finder? Set up an entirely different "desktop" in mission control dedicated only to having nothing open in it? 

In short: I need a fast way to drag icons from the desktop into folders in the finder. Also, this is driving me nuts.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Colour Icons Taken Away From Finder And ITunes Sidebars?

Apr 20, 2012

Why were the colour icons taken away from the finder and itunes sidebars and and replaced with grey monochrome shade icons. Have apple rectified this yet? It doesn't make sense to me why they changed this. On another note, can the the sidebar be changed back to the right hand side in preview (when opening PDF's). It has always been on the right in snow leopard and tiger. It seems to me that their has been too many unnecessary changes in the Lion operating system.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Icons From Desktop Disappeared And Finder Keeps Crashing Every 2-3 Seconds

Feb 6, 2012

Last night all my desktop icons just disappeared all of a sudden, I restarted my laptop and they came back but when I try to click and drag anything on my desktop or copy something between finder windows, they just disappear again and Finder crashes.  I downloaded the newest update and installed it, which didn't fix the problem so I found a similar problem on another forum and tried doing what they recommended (which was to delete the Cache folder and some files from the library and restart the computer)  After I restarted, finder started crashing every 2-3 seconds and giving me a message saying that Finder quit unexpectadly while trying to restore it's windows. 

I have a late 2008 unibody MacBook, 4GB RAM, 1TB HD, 2GHz dual core processor.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Does Upgrading It Retain Or Discard Junction Points

Jun 21, 2012

I would like to eventually upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mt Lion, but I am concerned that my junction points will become invalid.  This is my first Mac, and I am unfamiliar with the upgrade process.  I do have Time Machine setup, but I'm worried that it won't retain my junction points.  Will upgrading remove them, and if so, is there any way to back them up?

Safari :: Extensions Icons Not Displaying In Color On Toolbar?

May 1, 2012

My Safari windows look grey and bleak, just like the weather. I've double checked my security preferences and allowed third party plug-in access etc, is it that extensions just don't install as coloured icons in Safari? My friend's web browser allows colour and it makes icons easier to find in the Toolbar.

Software :: Icons Keep Disappearing / Opens In Color Sync Instead Of Preview

Dec 14, 2010

Ok I have been trying to find the reason why this is happening. I am having an issue with the icons disappearing, the file is still there and you can click on it if you click on the words, but the icon is not there just the icon is gone. The icon that is not showing up is the folder icon primarily. I have searched several different sites and can not find an answer to my problem. I have included a link to view what my desktop looks like with the files pictured so you get an idea.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...k/Picture3.png

I have tried to do the equivalent of a (rebuild desktop) desktop reset which was a program I downloaded from apple:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...s/xupport.html

It did not help either and after installing that and doing the reset. Now when I go to open a picture, it opens in color sync instead of preview. The only way I can open a picture in preview is to open preview and then open a picture through itIt is like color sync is the default for some reason. Does someone know how to fix this? But my main concern is tis icon issue I am having. I don't know what to do as it is making it very hard to work. This even carries over to my external drives when hooked up. I need help as I do not know why it is doing this

As far as other information, I just installed Tiger a few months ago if that helps any and this is on a mac mini. Other than that everything has been the same. I have relaunched the finder through opt+cmd+esc but it is not available to relaunch through right clicking the icon on the dock. Also it no longer allows me to drag a picture file over a program like Photoshop in the dock to open it in Photoshop. What is going on here?

Hardware :: Color Calibrating Monitor Using Color Meter - How To Use Color Meter And Save Color Profile

Feb 20, 2009

before switching to Mac, I used an "X-Rite Eye One Display 2" color meter device with software. You can find them most places like Amazon for about $150. The device should still work, but I can't find any software for it for the Mac. After going to the X-Rite web site, I could find no software at all for the Mac as it is only windows based.

Surely someone out there has used a color meter such as this one as they are quite popular especially for graphics artists that use professional graphic monitors. I am hoping someone can tell me how to use my color meter (USB), what software for Mac Leopard I need and how to save the color profile in the Mac OS.

OS X Mavericks :: Keyboard Shortcut To Tag A Color In Finder

Aug 29, 2014

I would like to create keyboard shortcuts in Finder to tag folders and files using the built-in colors. 

I have successfully created a shortcut that reads "Tags..." which brings up the file dialog that allows me to select a color. I want to take the shortcut to the next level and have a single keystroke Tag a file with a particular color. 

I have tried the following, without success: 

Tags...Add Tag "Green"

Tags... Add Tag "Green"

Tags...Green

Tags... Green

Tags... "Green"

Tags..."Green"

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Changing Font Size In Sidebar Of Finder Windows?

May 26, 2012

I have one user account with small (say 9pt) Sidebar items in the custom list of Folders/Places. That user was migrated from Leopard but I do not recall if it came over like that or I set it up. In another user on same MBP the Sidebar items are significantly larger (say 13pt) and I would like to change them to be about 9pt like my other user account.

OS X :: Icons In Finder Won't Arrange In A Grid

Aug 29, 2009

I'm using Leopard and just reformatted my macbook. Whenever I drop an icon into the finder window the icon get placed wherever I drop it instead of being placed alphabetically. I can go to view>clean up, and it fixes it but I want it to go back to where it always just did it.

Also, the icons do not increase or decrease columns when I make the finder window larger or smaller, it just always stays at 3 columns.
