Changing colors in the modern UI seems impossible - interface

We have a client with many companies and they want each company to have their own user interface color. Makes sense. But when I go to add a new user interface color, before I do anything other than change the name of the profile, the menu screen appears completely messed up and will not allow a selection on the screen. The classic UI works fine. But of course the customer wants the new UI. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

Most of Acumatica can still be customized the same way as explained in the Classic UI guides.

Here is a quick example where I changed the background color to brown by using my "Brown" theme.
As you can see, I also managed to change the Modern UI top bar color to orange. To do this, you need to create an extra css file in your Website\Content folder. Just follow the filename convention which is Site{Theme}.css

Visio protect object from selection

A big problem for me creating diagrams in visio (and powerpoint and similar programs) is that if you have a background object, it blocks you from selecting multiple objects by lassoing. Instead you end up moving the background around, this is annoying.
In many applications there's an option to "lock" or "protect" a specific object so it becomes un-selectable while still visible on the drawing. In Visio there is no simple way of doing this as far as I'm aware.
There's a rather convoluted way of doing this, it feels to me like Visio designers wanted to make this difficult on purpose. The methods I'm aware of I list here, feel free to let me know of a better way(s)
You can protect objects from selection by going to (hidden by default) Developer tab and pick "shape design"-> protection -> selection. However this does not actually protect them from selection, which makes sense . To actually protect the said object from selection, you have to open drawing explorer, which is also hidden by default and the visibility tickbox is in hidden by default Developer tab under show/hide section.
Drawing explorer, however won't highlight whatever object you have selected in the drawing, another unexplicable design decision. If you want to see the name of the object you've selected with live update, you have to enable the diagram navigation pane. That's found in View tab on Show section under "task panes" icon. This pane does highlight whatever you've selected and you can rename the object to give it a meaningful name, but not change the shape in any other way.
To finally protect that shape from selection, right click on the top level document on the drawing explorer and pick "Protect document" and tick "shapes" and hey presto, now your background rectangle is visible but not selectable. Very straightforward indeed
There are also layers which offer similar functionality but they naturally come with their own gotchas.
You can see layers on the Drawing explorer under foreground pages, page name, "Layers" tree. To move an object on a specific layer, you cannot do it by right clicking on the object, because of course you can't. There's an assign to layer button in Home->Editing->Layers->"Assign to Layer", which will let you select the layer(s) for the selected object. You can also do this by right clicking on an object from the Drawing explorer, but you have to know the object name, because there's no reverse selection .. The object name you can get from the Diagram navigation. By default "protected" and "lock" layers do nothing.
To change what the layers do, you again go to the Home -> Editing -> Layers and select "Layer properties". This is also available from Drawing explorer by right clicking on the "layers" tree under a specific page. Here you can control if the layer is visible and/or protected. However, if you lock a layer, you also cannot move objects to/from it, as that'd be too easy. So you have to untick "lock" if you want to move stuff in and out of a protection layer.
So there are two awkward ways of doing that that I'm aware of.
If the shape really is a background object then maybe you should be looking at putting the shape on a background page. You can then make it the background page for your active page. That'll fix all your shape selection problems.

How to change the background color of the Settings page and not the Editor?

How do I change the background color of the Settings page, not the Editor, but the Settings page? I know it probably involves changing a workbench.colorCustomization token, but I don't know which one it is or if it even exists. Also, is there some sort of extension that allows you to inspect the UI elements/icons of VS Code?
I have already tried changing the editor.background token, which applied to not just the Editor, but also the Welcome and Settings pages. I was able to change the background color for the Welcome page using the welcomePage.background token, but I don't know how to change it for Settings.
I want the Settings background color to change so I can see it better.
It doesn't look like you can. If under workbench.colorCustomizations you type settings you will get the list of available settings page items of which you can change the color.
Perhaps one or more of the foreground colors to change the text color will help you.
The Custom CSS and JS Loader may allow you to change the color of the settings page. You can inspect vscode's elements by Help/Toggle Developer Tools to find out what element you need to target with that extension.
<div class="settings-editor " or a child of that. Set its background-color to what you want using that extension.

Change colour names in custom word theme

Im looking for a solution that may not exist but worth a try. I am currently making custom modifications to normal.docm to incorporate our corporate branding. We have successfully created a new colour theme with our corporate colours but would like to know if we can change the names of these colours in the tool tip when you hover over in the colour picker.
Word colour picker
We have specific names for each of the colours which are know throughout are brand guidlines.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Changing the name of theme colours from Accent 1, Accent 2 etc. simply isn't possible.

How to highlight text in epub like ibooks app

I need to highlight text in epub book,when user selects the text,i can get the text,what the user has selected,but i need to highlight,the text permanently what user selected,thanks,any help will ne appreciated.
There's nothing built in to iOS that will do this. Some broad techniques that might work:
If you're showing the book in a web view, you might be able to wrap that area in a span and style it to create a highlight.
If you're using Core Text, you could draw the highlight in directly, either before or after drawing the text. (Your choice will decide how the highlight affects non-black text.)
You could add a transparent view over the text that draws in the highlight.
As for adding highlight-related items to the selection menu, see this Stack Overflow post. You probably won't be able to get icons in the menu like Apple does, though; that seems to be a private API. You could probably override the whole menu system if you want something closer to Apple's look, but that'll be quite a bit of work.

I want to change a button color in my app by selecting color. Instead of setting the color as static, I want user to choose the color like this
or any API to use for objective c. Can anyone guide me how to proceed?
If you look at how the code works in these classes from this open source project you should be able to integrate it into your view.
