Action to change specific colors
I am creating an action to change two specific colors in the files of different logos of ~ 300 (.ai and .eps). I just Photoshop so I guess that there is a way to create a droplet of an Illustrator Action, but that is a different issue.
The colours are Pantone 143 and 287 that have to be changed to 143 you and 287 U, respectively.
Here are the steps that I think I need to save for my action:
- Unlock all layers
- Add new colors to the Board of swatch
- Select all layers
- Recolor art... (Edition-> Edit colors-> redefine colors work... This step is not recorded?)
- Save file
The problem is that the step to redefine is not saved. Can someone explain what I should do to create this action correctly?
JavaScript is the answer. I found this somewhere a little while back. This script changes Pantone 133 to 101. It can be modified to apply to all other Spot colors.
This script requires that the new color and old color exist in your Swatches palette before running 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; } } } } } }
More answers can be found here, like how to unlock everything.

How to permanently change the color of a button
I use an action to change the color of a button. It works but the color changes for only about a second and then back to the original color. How can I make the color change permanently?
Sigh, if a question was clear, that he would not take as long to get a response. I knew there was more than simply by changing the color of a button, where my questions.
Personally, I would never trust effects for this particular case. They do not always work as expected and even less in 8.0.1 then 7. In addition, as this has always been the case, the application of effects by a step (or shared action) has a lot of limitations, because you cannot set the duration of effect, or specify the path, if it is a motion effect. The only solution that I found and explained a long time ago was to create a custom effect to apply. But the workflow is quite heavy: first he must create the effect based on time with the correct time and settings, then you can save it, but it won't be available immediately in the drop-down list in the dialog of AA. You must apply the effect custom time once, before it becomes available. BTW, the default duration of the tint to apply is 2secs, which cannot be changed in the AA dialog box.
I don't see your response to Ajit, for some reason, maybe because it is personal and I am just a user. My approach would be to replace the original button with a touch of the color that you want, something as I used in the dashboard in this blog: Captivate 8 - first adventures - Captivate blog
Forums act as strangely today as effects in Captivate, now the answer to Ajit popped up.
Text buttons will always have the appearance of the system buttons, you can not change their color. It can be done with text buttons but once again, I never use them more because the form buttons appeared. Those are much easier to style and offer more choices. Furthermore they can be used on master slides and timed for the rest of the project, and you can even insert on Question slides.

Change the color of the text in several .psd with actions
Is there a way to change the color of the text layers in several files in .psd (with a different text in each of them) with actions?
All the files that I have to do that with are structured in the same way - background and above a layer of text.
Here are the basics...
#target photoshop; main(); function main(){ //select folder where PSDs are held var selectFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Please select folder of PSDs"); //if no folder selected quit. if(selectFolder == null) return; //get an array of all PSDs in the folder var fileList = selectFolder.getFiles("*.psd"); //iterate through file list for(var a in fileList){ var textColour = new SolidColor(); textColour.rgb.hexValue = "00ff00"; //set colour to green open(fileList[a]); activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers[0]; //Select top layer if(activeDocument.activeLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT){ //check if it is a text layer activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColour; //set text to colour activeDocument.save(); //Save changes activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); //Close document }else{//not a text layer so close document activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); //Close document } }//end of filelist };

Action to change the border color changes the color of full object instead
Whenever I try to do an action in which I change the color of the border, the action is not the way that I save it. Instead to change the border color, as I did in the record, the action changes the color of the whole object (for the color that I have saved) and leaves the border to be black.
Ok. I think that actions make a difference between the stroke and fill. If you have an action to apply a swatch/color, it will apply this color to everything you have 'face' (look at your tool palette: fill overlaps the race?).
to get what you want, you may need to make a graphic with the fill color style, as you want and use the action to apply instead of the shade.

Is there a quick way to change a specific color in an image? I mean, for example, slecting an object in the image and change the color of the object which may involve masking, etc.. What I want is a quick way to change the bokeh or part of the bokeh from an image to a nicer color. Maybe something like help of the color picker to choose a specific color in the image and to be able to change all the colors with this exact value (hexadecimal number)? Not sure if I explained it very well. But I'm looking for something more specific while playing with the color sliders - I want to be able to choose the exact color for areas of interest of my image.
The description you give is something that Photoshop does, but Lightroom does not.
You can use Lightroom to brush an area to have some white balance, but this seems different from what you are trying to do (and it is not "fast" anyway)

I was wondetring if there is a script that runs automatically on InDesign startup that can find the specific words and change the fill color of this word and this word only.
I have a table in InDesign that fills with the name of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.), so that every time you see all the names of the week, but every day they change places. I need a script that can find, for example, the word 'Saturday' and change the color from black to yellow.
Any help would be appreciated!

Y at - it a paragraph style applied at this time?
If so, you can create a GREP style in the paragraph style.
Make "new Style GREP.
Text: Saturday
Apply the Style: A new Style of character
In the new character Style, only change the fill color and name the style.
It should work.

I need help on how to change the color for printer settings. I am unable to print graphics on forms, they come out as a solid black box. When I go into the color options I'm completely unable to change, there is no options to change anything: it only shows as neutral gray and black graphics.
The printer has been the subject of assessment, and there are no exceptions to this topic. Please help.
Your question is usually a driver problem. Try to use pcl5 or postscript driver to see if one of them makes a difference.

change the color of line based on the value of column 5 Apex in the classic report
Version of the apex 5.0.0.00.31
Standard universal theme
Page theme default template
Classic report
Foldable report template
Hello
I know this question has been asked several times here, but I'm working on 5 Apex and need to know the correct way to do it in this version.
I need to change the color of the text of the entire line (no background color) based on the value in one of the columns of the classic report. I have just two conditions, if the value of column = Yes, color should be red, otherwise it must be green.
I am new to jscript and css, so appreciate if someone can tell me the solution with steps.
I have already checked this link that changes the value of the column, need to do something similar to the whole line.

Hi coolmaddy007-Oracle,.
Here's an example set up on the apex.oracle.com according to the specifications you gave: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=35467:1
Version of the apex 5.0.0.00.31
Standard universal theme
Page theme default template
Classic report
Foldable report template
Here is how it is done:
Create a dynamic action with the following specifications:
Name: Give the appropriate name
Event: After refresh
Selection type: region
Region: select your region classic report
Condition: No strings attached
Action: Run the JavaScript Code
Fire on loading the Page: Yes
Code:
$('td[headers="JOB"]').each(function() { if ( $(this).text() === 'MANAGER' ) { $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"red"}); } if ( $(this).text() === 'SALESMAN' ) { $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"green"}); } if ( $(this).text() === 'CLERK' ) { $(this).closest('tr').find('td').css({"color":"blue"}); } });
NOTE: Download the selector appropriate for your knowledge $('td[headers="JOB"]') case using firebug/browser development tools.
Items concerned: leave blank.
PS: Changed the example to change the color of text instead of the background color.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards

How can I change the color of the fonts displayed on Firefox itself?
Not Web sites; I know how to change the font style and color used on Web sites. What I was asking is how to change the color of the font of the text displayed on the interface of Firefox itself. Specifically, I want to change the font of the text '100% ' at the top of the Zoom option, since I have no idea when or how it changed (could be me; I do remember never do, however); I have attached a screenshot for better reference.
I was wondering, but did not before, if it remains green if you move to another bar. In other words, is there something special about this area of bar bar/menu top of the title page which affects the color of the font.
