Colors messed up

T

Tom Brown

I have somehow managed to get the Windows colors out of whack on my Dell
laptop. I have built a web site and in the WYSIWG editor, when I select a
change of colors, it does not show up on the display. Also, when I change
the color of text, as in the example of the word "colors" in the last
sentence, I do not see any colors. I only see black text.

The problem seems to only affect the text and background colors. I am able
to view many colors in other instances such as on web sites and photos.
But, for example, when I view my website on someone else's computer, I see
the text is something (Red) other than the black I see on my LCD display.

I might add that I once did something in an Adobe program (maybe Photoshop)
that was supposed to correct any color imbalances. Could that be the
culprit? I don't know how to remove it if it is. Also, it is no help to
go to Display Properties/Appearance, Color Schemes and change the colors.
The problem still exists.

As usual, any help will be appreciated.

Kelly,

Thanks for the try but the problem is not with any editor, WYSIWG or
otherwise. Maybe I mislead you. I am using a program called Arles Digital
Dutch to create my photo galleries but it is the same problem with Front
Page or with Dreamweaver to build the HTML pages.

My problem is a Windows XP color display problem. Any color text I create
(designate or change colors) usually ends up showing up as BLACK text on my
computer but not on other computers. To see what I am talking about, click
on www.tom-chris.com and notice the color of the text. What color is the
"Brown Family Web Site?" On my laptop, it shows up as black. I believe it
showed up as RED on the last computer I checked. I guess I have designated
it as RED but I can't see it on my machine.

Hi Tom,

All text is in blue for me, here. As for Front Page if you are using a
Theme/Template....it has designated colors. One for
default/unvisited/visited. Beings it is your page, you probably clicked on
each one to verify that it works and thus you have the visited color.

As for IE: Tools/General/Colors - Visited/Unvisited and Accessibility:
Ignore.....

Either way, hope you get it figured soon.

Kelly,

Actually the visited/unvisited function works. I am trying to get the TITLE
colors straightened out, not clickable links. On your computer the titles
show as blue, on another one I saw, they show as red. On mine, they show as
black. I want to see the colors I designate, not black.

I'll try Dell TS.

Thanks,

Tom

Change the RGB value below where it reads: color=##000099 to:
http://www.tayloredmktg.com/rgb/

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="index.css">
<p align="center"><i><font size="6" color="##000099" face="Comic Sans
MS"><B>Brown Family Website</B></font></i></p>
<p align="center"><i><font size="4" color="#000099" face="Comic Sans
MS"><B>Toggle F11 on keyboard to Maximize/Minimize Viewing
Area</B></font></i></p>
</head>

Can't see how this is a Dell issue, but good luck either way. :blush:)
