In CS3 and earlier, the application background color came from the Windows application background global property. In CS4 the central area seems to be (127,127,127) and I can't figure out how to change it. I have "open documents as tabs" OFF because I like individual windows, so the bright gray background is distracting.
How do I make it darker? There doesn't seem to be a property in Preferences->Interface.
The application background (the color that appears behind the image) should be set to grey, black or a custom color. No matter what is chosen, it is white when changing between images. I have to click on the background space to get it to change back to my selected color. If I again switch pictures, it is white again.
I am running CS5 in Windows 8. It was not an issue on my Windows 7 PC.
Is there a way to choose colors outside of the Photoshop application using the Color Picker? Coming from Macromedia Fireworks, I have become accustomed to using the Color Picker tool within Fireworks, which enables you to pickup any color outside of the Fireworks application.
I have seen thrid party tools that let you choose colors from various programs, but they just give you the color scheme and you must type in these color values within Photoshop.
Is it possible to change the background mid gray colour to another colour. Adobe Bridge opens up in quite a dark grey which enables the images to stand out better, is there a facility to alter the background in CS3?

I'm on a Mac and want my workspace to have a solid background instead of being able to see through it onto my desktop; similar to what you would see when first openning Illustrator on a Windows PC. Doing this also adds the minimize, close, etc. buttons to the header.

View 2 Replies View RelatedContext - I am brand new to the graphic design business and working with a friend to create a logo for their new business. The logo will be used for web and print purposes.
I am having an issue where the colors used while in the CorelDraw application are not matching the exported files or what comes off the printer. Printer - HP officejet 6500 - using this for a checkpoint only, will not use for actual printing
I created the logo using CMYK color palette and used the default settings in Corel as far as color management goes...It is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. The application is still in an "out of the box" state as I am too new to know how to change anything.
So, that said...the image looks great in the application. I exported several proof files for my friend, but see now that I used RGB for the export. He loves the design and I am ready to deliver his files. Those RGB files "look" fine when opened as jpeg or png, but when printed they are completely different.
I've read that it is important to deliver CMYK files as well as RGB files. So, I attempted to export with that color style thinking it might fix that problem, since I created the image using that palette. When I try to export using CMYK though, the color goes absolutely whacko. Viewing on the computer, the muted green (20.0.60.20) turns into a neon green...and it prints that way as well.
I know computer monitors have variations, but if I see it in the application one way, viewing the exported file on the same computer monitor shouldn't pose an issue.
You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour.
And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select.
When I have any kind of layer, and I want to change the foreign or background color (with the color picker) I just cant. When I click on the foreign or background color it automatically selects the eyedropper tool, and I don't want this to happen.
