I haven't found an existing post about this so I'll give it a shot.
I'd like to know if there is a way to change the default highlight color for selected text? Right now, whenever I invoke .SetFocus on a field, Access "selects" the contents of the field. The color it uses is black, and makes the data very hard to see. Is there a way to change that color?
Access simply swaps the background and foreground color as its means of highlighting text in a text box. As far as I know there is no way to change this behavior.
Obviously you can change the foreground and background colors themselves, but there is no separate "highlight" color that you can set independent of the foreground/background.
Although this isn't specificity for List Boxes I still think it is worth a note that List Boxes work slightly different (not sure why... maybe a different developer!) the selected row on a list box will inverts the colour of the background and foreground separately instead of swapping them.
For example if you had a light blue text on a white background normally the selected row would be a red text on a black background. The white inverts to black and the light blue inverts to red.
Or if you had
Not sure which method I like better but it would be nice if they where the same! Makes UI's look a lot better when they are consistent throughout the form!
Sometimes this problem can be caused by using a transparent text box on a background that is the same or similar color (with contrasting-colored text). Make sure you have the text box back color set to a same/similar color as the background.
Basically, you need the text box back color to contrast with the text. When highlighted, the highlight will be a contrasting color to the text box background color.

Is it possible to add stripes in the textbox in report?
So the result looks like in the picture?
User chooses color for the column in the application
color
This is no built in way of doing this (no fill style) but you could use an image of the stripes as a background image. You would need to create and save images for each colour and style and add them as embedded images in the report.
You can then set the background image of a textbox to the required image.
... or better still use an expression to select the image based on conditions.
=SWITCH(
Fields!ItemCode.Value >10 , "RedStripe",
Fields!ItemCode.Value >50 , "GreenStripe",
True, Nothing
)
Where Redstripe and GreenStripe are the image names you embedded.
You can set the image to repeat etc from the properties panel
Update after OP stated that colour is parameterised.
If the colour is a parameter then we need a slightly different approach.
First you need to create an image with stripes (any colour will do ), and then remove the stripe pixels so that the stipes are now transparent. Save this as a PNG.
I created one quickly whist testing which you can save from here hopefully. You'll just have to move the mouse around in the area below as it's a white on white image! Or switch StackOverflow to the dark theme, then you can right-click and save the image. If not you'll just have to create one yourself.
Image below here.. switch StackOverflow to Dark theme to see it
Image above here..
Now you will need to set the background image to this image but also set the backgroundcolor property to an expression. In this exmaple, I set the background to the value of my parameter.
My parameter is just text and I typed in some hex values in the form #FFFFFF. You will have to work out how to get the value from your color pickers to the report yourself, ask a new question if required.
Here's the report design
and here is the report running using a few sample hex values.
Looking at Sikuli (in conjunction with Selenium) as a possibility for automating the more visual elements of our UI testing, in particular issues that may crop up when the expected branding is not applied.
In my test, I have a white navigation icon image sat on a purple nav bar. I take a screen grab of the white icon sat on it's purple background and that is used as my Pattern in the Sikuli test class. If I then change the CSS in my web app so the nav bar is red, I want the test to fail.
Unfortunately, the background colour change is ignored and the icon is clicked regardless. If I set the pattern's similarity value to 1f (i.e. an exact match), the icon is not clicked. However, it also does not clicked the icon if I change the nav bar colour to the correct purple so it matches the icon screenshot I am using for the pattern.
A "similar" parameter value of anything from 0 to 0.9 lets the test pass once again, regardless of the nav bar colour.
Is this a restriction in the ability of Sikuli or am I missing something?
Edit:
So I found THIS ANSWER to a similar question and it prompted me to check the score returned when trying to match the white icon on red pattern and the white icon on purple pattern to the web page which had the purple branding. The score for both was over 0.9, with the difference from about the second decimal place onward, hence the match of both when I set the "similar" property of the pattern to 0.9.
It prompted me to try increasing the area of the screen shot to include more background relative to the icon size. This resulted in a score of 0.9x for the white on purple pattern and 0.7x for the white on red pattern.
So my conclusion is that the matching does take account of the background colour but if the majority of the screenshot pattern you are using is the same colour, the difference in score is minute.
Can you bypass the background directly behind the icon and look to the side of it? Excuse my lack of coding knowledge just trying to help come up up with a work-around
exists (icon):
if exists(whitebg): #capture a small area with just the color near the icon
pass
if exists(redbg):
fail
I'm not sure if this is possible - I would like to have a conditional type formating on a field in a continous form, which will give the font colour of the field a transparent colour, so that the result is hidden.
I would like to do this to hide out a bunch of zero values. So far, I've tried setting the font colour to white on a zero value, but my odd lines have a light grey background, so it's still showing there. Is it possible to have a transparent font color, or to match it to the background colour of the line it's on?
If it's invalid for you to have 0s in the your results, don't refomat the colour to hide them, rewrite the query to exclude them / replace them with a blank or null value. If 0 is a valid result, then you shouldn't hide it, even if it looks ugly.
For example, double clicking on a word selects it, then all matches of that word are also highlighted.
What keys do I change in my theme to change the background, foreground, and/or the border colors for the matching words?
There is no configuration key for the colour of the border around unselected found text in Sublime Text 2: the colour of the found text border is the cursor colour. If you want to change it, you must change the cursor colour.
To change the cursor and found text border colour, set the value of the key named caret in the .thTheme file.
In other words, if you want a yellow found text border, you must also have a hello cursor. For example:
<key>caret</key>
<string>#ffff00</string>
This how the it looks with a yellow found text border and cursor in the Monokai Bright theme:
I think you're looking for findHighlight and inactiveSelection
<key>selection</key>
<string>#C5DFE980</string>
<key>findHighlight</key>
<string>#ffe792</string>
<key>inactiveSelection</key>
<string>#ff7e00</string>
In Sublime Text 3 highlight option changes border color of matching elements
<key>highlight</key>
<string>#ff00ff</string>
Natively in chrome/firefox, hovering over an element shows its title with a yellow background with black text.
Does anyone know the exact HEX or RGB colors for each?
thanks,

Took a screen capture, opened it in photoshop, used the color picker to find the values.
In OSX/Chrome the tooltip yellow background is:
#ffffca
In OSX/Chrome the tooltip text is:
#000023
In OSX/FF the tooltip yellow background is:
#feffcd
in OSX/FF the tooltip text is:
#000
There are actually minor variations at some points in the Chrome bg, it's not a purely solid color. I'm not sure what would cause that anomaly. But the hex value I took was the most consistent, and any variations are negligible anyway.
Text is of course antialiased, and values were taken from what I perceived to be the darkest area of the text, which would correspond to its actual RGB/HEX value.
Hexidecimal color value for Windows tooltip background:
FFFFE1
Hexidecimal color value for Linux:
F6F6B9
RGB color value for Windows tooltip background:
(255,255,225)
RGB color value for Linux tooltip background:
(246,246,185)
From RGB space, you convert to Hunter-Lab space, use L condition(>0.5) to set the appropriate value,
