In Informatica Designer and Workflow Manager, when the user opens a transformation/session for edit without having it checked out, all the fields are displayed in a really low contrast shade of grey against the white background.
Has anyone found a way to change the color?
UPDATED The original worked somewhat, the real fix is this:
Right click on desktop background - select properties. This is the windows desktop background, nothing to do with infomatica!
Select Appearance tab
Under "Windows and Buttons" select "Windows Classic Style"
Original Answer:
The problems seems to be that windows based themes are used for the background and white (with no way to change it) is used for the font color.
Here is how I fixed it on windows XP:
Right click on desktop background - select properties. This is the windows desktop background, nothing to do with infomatica!
Select Appearance tab
Select Advanced button
Select the Active window (below "Item:" it will now say "Window")
Below "Color 1" select some other color than white.
NOTE: This means the default background color for ALL programs will now be white.
C'est la vie
In case of Windows 7, the only way I found is changing the theme - none of the Aero Themes will work and Windows 7 Basic is still too fancy. You need to use the Windows Classic theme.

The color Informatica chose to use for the "checked in" text is from the "Inactive title bar" for som reason. It can be changed through the control panel:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance
Click on
Advanced appearance setting...
Select
Inactive Title Bar
The color you need to change is Color 1
Have your tried changing the colors here - Tool > Options > format?
I was looking for similar solution and finally the above comment helped me to find the proper solution where I am able to see the port name under inactive transformation window in BLACK.
For windows 7 (similar for other windows system too) , go under appearances setting at
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance
Open advance appearance setting which will open a new window "Window Color and Appearance" . Here we have multiple color combination setting for different type of display items like message boxes , boarders ,menu etc .
Go to 'Inactive Title Bar' change the Color 1 to black from grey. Leave the color 2 field as its is . Apply and see on the other side that your inactive Informatica transformation window's port are now in Black . Clearly visible.
Seriously , Is that a real problem.
It is good as long as you are able to identify that the object isn't checked out.

When you hover the mouse over taskbar buttons in Win10 you get a preview of that Window in a flyout. However if I start my program minimized it shows a generic icon (if I then restore it, the preview is updated and works minimized or not - so on startup is the key).
How do I have it show what the window will look like when restored or set my own image to use so this doesn't happen? It's okay if my own image is the only one that ever shows. I wouldn't mind disabling the preview on the flyout either (I do need the flyout because I use use toobar buttons on it).
I see ITaskbarList3::SetThumbnailClip() but that would have the same issue.
TIA!!
Found this is controlled by the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) via dwmapi. Examples of use is here
Is there a way to change the text and background color in the Mac terminal? I'm trying to change the text color to red and see if there are more backgrounds to change too.
Go to: Terminal>Preferences>Profiles.
(Or hit Cmd+, and click the Profiles tab)
From there, you can modify colour themes.
Is there a way to change the active tab color in Mac's terminal? I've tried messing around with the colors in the profile but I can't figure out a way to change the actual color of the tab. It's driving me insane that the active color is a lighter color than the inactive tabs, which is inconsistent with basically every other program that uses tabs.
I'm using Catalina 10.15.2 with Terminal Version 2.10 (433).

You can't change the active tab colour. But if what you want is to have better contrast between the active and inactive tabs, you can set the 'Tab color' in Profiles - Colors.
Unfortunately not. As I'm sure you probably know, you can change the profile which includes font, background etc... but the tab itself cannot be changed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Although you can't do it with the default terminal. ITerm2 provides the capability (which does help because the difference between active and inactive gets a bit confusing on dark mode)
Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.

I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314
With a 14" LCD monitor (1366x768), my VS2010 can only display 21 lines in code editor. There are too many tool bars occupied upper and bottom part (see below screenshot). When writing codes, it's OK to use fullscreen mode. However, when reading codes, I need some of the toolbar like the bookmark bar, open file tab. Is there any suggestion to increase the viewing area?
Create a single custom toolbar with just the commands you really use in it. Remove the other toolbars. Close tool windows docked at the bottom.
There is an addon that can even remove the menu bar – you'll need to learn keyboard shortcuts (this is a good idea anyway: moving a hand to/from the mouse is much slower).
Increase secreen resolution
Use a different font such as Terminal or Consolas. I guess you must be already using Consolas, try Terminal.
Decrease the font size.
Turn monitor by 90 degree, so it is higher not wider.
Besides that - get a decent monitor. 14" is barely legal acording to some european laws for office use. Programmers tyically get a lot bigger.
Customize your toolbars and get rid of the buttons you don't use. You'll probably be able to fit everything on one row after that.
For example, I don't think I have used the toolbar buttons for cut/copy/paste, using the keyboard instead, so those were the first buttons I removed.
On the right side of each toolbar, there is a button with an arrow, click on that and you should see "customize this toolbar" in the drop-down menu.
Well, if you are having an older notebook, you might not able to change your display, increase your screen resolution or turn the monitor by 90 degrees, like the others suggested. Here are my suggestions for when this is the case:
Place your toolbars left or right instead at the top or bottom
close output window
use fullscreen mode and learn keyboard shortcuts for bookmarks and file menu functions, so you can work without the specfic toolbars
I use Full Screen mode (ALT+SHIFT+ENTER to toggle) when doing the actual editing, with only the solution explorer open on the right hand side.
