Can't find the TextEdit document color button Hi, Since upgrading from Mojave to Ventura, some TextEdit documents that had colored backgrounds, suddenly have white backgrounds, with only a background color where text is. Looking for a way to get the color back to the background, I found out Apple points Ventura users to the 'document color button' in the fonts panel. However, my fonts panel looks different and has no such document color button. I'd like to show you the English version I always get the Dutch version of this Apple page so I guess you automatically get the version in your language: Teksteditor op de Mac opmaken met lettertypen en stijlen - Apple Support (NL) Is there a way to change the document background color this or is it simply that Apple decided to delete this option in Texteditor (Dutch name for) / TextEdit? Most of my old texteditor documents still have the background color.

Big Sure: increase the font size of open/save dialog boxes Dear All, after updating to Big Sur I noticed the Finder font was too small so I changed it for all the folders from the default size of 12 to 14. It works well when I use Finder directly. However, when saving a file or opening one, the dialog box (still Finder, but invoked by other apps) is still at the default size of 12 which is too small for my eyes. Am I missing something? How do I increase the font size for those dialog boxes? Thanks for your help See Finder, size at 14 See the open file box, size is still 12

Big Sur Viewing Fonts After downloading Big Sur and using the Mail app, I am finding that the default viewing font for the app is both too small and requiring bolder lettering to make it more easily readable. I know you can change the font of the messages, but I need help increasing the font of the left side bar. As well, it would be great if the upper tool bar icons could be bigger and bolder too. Thank you.

I rebooted the iMac and for some reason unknown, when I opened the Text Edit document the Paragraph icon reappeared. Thanks for responding.

Is only the paragraph button missing? Or are all of them missing?

If all, use the Format menu to switch to Rich Text.
