Scott, this is exactly my point.. I use dark backgrounds and have to use them to be able to identify the icon text! I would like to be able to use some of the lighter backgrounds but obviously cannot as there is no way to change Desktop Icon Text from white colour to Black! As for the menubar...

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Does anyone know how you can display a light or white background on Mac OS X and be able to read the Icon Text??? This is one Achille's heel of the OS in my view,,, - also do not like the fact that if you have the light menubar choice selected that any custom dock folders you have open in...

we're way past that stage sunshine - hence the wake-up call.... and as your nnick name suggests you are very much one of the types I am referring to - keeping things to yourself... and no none of these threads you refer to have fixed the issue, hence the question So let's see who's the...

Okay - This is the second time I have posted this specific question to this forum... and the second time that after several days there has not been a single solution, not even a comment... Not the only topic either - how about receiving faxes on Tiger for example..... If it's not too much to...

Hi All... I am almost completely round he twist with this problem having Goolgled and tried different stuff for several weeks now - I simply cannot print to an Epson CX 5600 connected to Mac running Tiger 10.4.11 If anyone has succesfully managed this using a similar printer and the same OS's...

Think I have done 2 separate installs to date - one by either method.... If anything the clean install was less problematic.....

I believe it was an archive and install... Worked fine for around 6 weeks or so then suddenly the problem started up...and persisted until I removed Leo... I think this had everything to do with the graphics patch I downloaded from the Apple Site...... I get an odd thing still on Tiger whick...

bump! Any info at all please....

HI. After a week or two of hell - first downgrading the Mac to Tiger and the even worse horror of trying to downgrade Vista running on a New HP machine (believe me if you've tried this you'll know exactly what I mean...) I now find I cannot network my Epson CX 5600 (connected to and running on...

Done....Leopard is gone. Tiger is back and all is working fine. Now satisfied that Leop is there yet!!!!

I have been trying to install Macports on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 - installed X11 - installed X11 sdk - updated X11 And now the reason I hated Linux and Command line programming so much.... sudo: port: command not found in response to the following commands sudo port -v selfupdate sudo...

That's exactly what I'm feeling right now having had years of misery with XP..... I rate Vista as 1000 times worse.... painful does not describe the user experiance both my wife and I have with it.... Right click a file on the desktop and wait anything in between 90 seconds and 3 minutes for the...

No I don't... I do have an Apple Agent nearby though. This problem as mentioned is unlikely to be hardware as most often the lines snap randomly to different applications.... if it is hardware it would surely affect the entire sreen all the time..... Never seen a hardware problem specifically...

...any update on the possibility of installing Tiger over Leopard???..... seems like the only thing for this now is to back up and reformat.... These lines also appear on Video Windows.......
