Best way to create a background image for all resolutions without drastically increasing file size.

I see a lot of great background images with complex designs that resize with different screen resolutions. I can create the designs, but I don't know how to create a complex image for large screen resolutions without making it a large file, or it loosing quality with it stretches to the larger size. Is there a code that resizes images when stretched, or do I just have to live with a slower load speed with complex background images?

The background doesn't resize, it shrinks:

Basically make a 1920x1080 or higher resolution file and use that script. There will always be a maximum but based on your response that is not your monitor. Photoshop and other tools do a pretty good job compressing jpeg files and most internet connections are fast enough to make it seamless.

What is the best way to create a Scheduler app for ALL mobile devices?

I've used indesign to make apps before, (more like interactive/digital publications) and now I'm trying to make a scheduling app. What's the best way for me to accomplish this since it's a little more intricate? Indesign + DPS?? Any other recommendations?

Skipping InDesign & using HTML5/something such as Appcelerator's Titanium would be your best bet.
If you're set on using DPS, however, you'll need to make multiple multi-folio apps, single issue apps aren't supported iPhone or Android. DPS folios are also not responsive, although in some cases renditions will scale to support different devices.

Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here. Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec. It's not lossless, but it is Master quality. Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

Is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users? (Office 2010 icons on the dekstop, for example.)

Hello! Just like the title, is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users?
I know how to do this using regular W7 workstations and 2008 Servers, but the "Default" folder under the USERS directory is gone and I'm not sure how to get the icons there in Windows 8, let alone Server 2012 Remote Desktop.
I've installed Office 2010 on the 2012 server, but every end user that logs in has to manually type in "Word," "Excel." "PowerPoint." etc from the metro interface, then right-click each icon to add the shortcut to the desktop.
Given the... uh.. unfamiliarity of our endusers around the computer, this really isn't the best option. What I'd like is them to log on and have all the Office icons ready and availible for them.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You can edit the local GPP and create a desktop shortcut for all users.

How to create a background image for each item in a List object

Hello.
I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list. For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list. The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image. I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below. When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background.
I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions.
Thank you for your help. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
You have to do two things:
1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.

Is there a way to create a TINY image for B2G, similar to TINY_ANDROID ?

Hi, is there a way to create a TINY image from Firefox OS similar to that of TINY ANDROID image which is used for Kernel Development. Android gives an option to create with the flag BUILD_TINY_ANDROID, just wanted to know if there is anything similar in Firefox OS.
If there is no support from B2G, can we still create one?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks

I'm not sure that anybody here would know the answer to this. I'd suggest asking in #b2g on irc.mozilla.org. In case you don't have an IRC client, here's a web-based one: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.mozilla.org/#b2g . A lot of the b2g developers tend to hang out in there, and if anybody knows, they would.

Best way to create a Keynote presentation for use in Windows Powerpoint?

Hi all, as mac users, I know we have all been here, I am being forced to use Powerpoint and a Windows machine for a presentation. I am wondering what is the best way to create a keynote presentation (on my mac), and export it to powerpoint (on a windows machine). The goal here is try to get as few errors and missing components of the presentation as possible. I frequently have to export and import documents through Microsoft word and pages, and everytime I open a doc I get a message saying that some things couldn't be imported. This cannot happen in this situation! This is a very important presentation that needs to go as smooth as possible. I am going to be presenting this presentation on a windows 7 machine running microsoft office 2010.
What extra steps should I take (if any) to make sure everything gets exported and imported correctly?
Thanks in advance,
- A Mac user under Windows Oppression

Thanks, the presentation went well. I just had to try out different transitions and animations to see which ones worked with Pp. But I'm going full keynote next time!
Happy Computing,

Need to create a background image for Joomla

I need to create a custom background image for a Joomla site.
Can anyone offer a simple tutorial on the steps I need to take to create the image?
Thanks

Okay. The image has a gold gradient from top to bottom, but the text repeats in smaller blocks.
First, you need a tiling image of some text, on a transparent background. Then, this image needs to be added as a pattern in Fireworks.
Next, you get to use your new pattern. In your document, create a tall rectangle with a vertical gradient. Make this image the same width as your tiling pattern, so that your resulting background image will also tile. Over that you put a rectangle with no color fill, but fill it with the text pattern. Save this working Fireworks document, then export to use on the Web.
I don't understand the phrase "I need to know how to size the image, possibly with CSS." Background images are the size they are. When this image is set to be the background, then it should be specified to repeat in the horizontal direction (repeat-x).
Here's some info on making a seamless tile:

What's the best way to send uncommon sized images for printing?

One of the things I need to do occasionally is print an uncommon sized image. For example, I may crop part of an image as a 2x3 to fit in an odd picture frame, such as a Chrstimas ornament. However, most places I print (e.g. CVS) only print common sizes. In the past I've used Elements to create a blank new image in a common size and pasted my crop into it (which is a little tricky because you have to make sure the new image and the crop have the same resolution), but I'd like to be able to do this directly in Lightroom. What would be the best way to do this?

1. Crop the image to the aspect ratio you want. If you wish to retain the cropped version for future use, make a Virtual Copy of it.
2. In the Print module set the page size to the size you will be ordering from the lab.
3. Make the cell dimensions the size you want the image to be. Set the margin sizes to position the image on the page as you wish.
4. Set Print to: JPEG File, Resolution to 300 ppi, check Sharpness, set JPEG Quality and the color space to sRGB.
5. Click on Print to File.

Best Way to Create a Goods Movement for Goods Receipt & a Stock Transfer?

This is for an acquisition, so I do not think BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE will work because we do not have a doc ref no. We also need to create a Stock Transfer movement.
Or we call BDC MIGO and BDC M1B1? There must be a better way. We are on 46C.
I am open to any and all suggestions....Thank-You.

Hello Tom,
Best way is to use the SAP standard BAPI "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE". So that for the long run SAP will support the functionality. If you go with BDC then we don't know what enhancement is going to come in the future??
Thanks,

What is the best way of creating admin-only parameters for a java iView?

Hi,
I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers...
The scenario is as follows: I have created an Org Chart maintenance application that generates and renders xml&xsl-based Org Charts. This is the maintenance iView.
I am creating a second iView that points to each org chart(the 'Viewer' iView). This iView will be re-used many times, for different parts of our organisation. My problem is I want the portal administrator to be able to set the specific Org Chart that each instance of the 'viewer' iView points to. This needs to be editable as a configurable property.
I imagine that this is accomplished through the use of properties, what is the best way to accomplish this?
Many thanks,
Mark Hockings

I believe that you should be able to specify the 'personalization' property to be no-dialog. This doesn't allow users to be able to change the property, but can be changed when creating the iView definition
I hope this helps

What's the best way to create and free temporaries for CLOB parameters?

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production on Solaris
I have a procedure calling another procedure with one of the parameters being an IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB.
I create the temporary CLOB in proc_A, do the call to proc_B and then free the temporary again.
In proc_B I create a REFCURSOR, and use that with dbms_xmlgen to create XML.
So the code basically looks like
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE client_xml( p_client_id IN            NUMBER
                                       ,p_clob      IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB   ) AS
   v_rc         SYS_REFCURSOR;
   v_queryCtx   dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
BEGIN
   OPEN c_rc FOR
      SELECT col1
            ,col2
            ,col3
        FROM clients
       WHERE client_id = p_client_id;
   v_queryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(v_rc);
   p_clob     := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(v_queryCtx, 0);
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my_proc AS
   v_clob       CLOB;
   v_client_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
   v_client_id := 123456;
   dbms_lob.createTemporary(v_clob, TRUE, dbms_lob.CALL);
   client_xml( p_client_id => v_client_id
              ,p_clob      => v_clob);
   dbms_lob.freeTemporary(v_clob);
END;However, I just learned the hard way that IN OUT NOCOPY is only a hint, and that Oracle sometimes creates a local variable for the CLOB anyway.
A solution is to change the client_xml procedure above to
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE client_xml( p_client_id IN            NUMBER
                                       ,p_clob      IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB   ) AS
   v_rc         SYS_REFCURSOR;
   v_queryCtx   dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
BEGIN
   IF NOT NVL(dbms_lob.istemporary(p_clob),0) = 1 THEN
      dbms_lob.createTemporary(p_clob, TRUE, dbms_lob.CALL);
   END IF;
   OPEN c_rc FOR
      SELECT col1
            ,col2
            ,col3
        FROM clients
       WHERE client_id = p_client_id;
   v_queryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(p_refcursor);
   p_clob     := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(v_queryCtx, 0);
END;My concern is that in case Oracle does create a local variable, 2 temporaries will be created, but there will only be 1 freeTemporary.
Could this lead to a memory leak?
Or should I be safe with the solution above because I'm using dbms_lob.CALL?
Thanks,
Arnold

A CLOB does not exist in local stack space. The variable itself can be TBs in size (max CLOB size is 128TB depending on DB config) - and impossible to create and maintain in the stack. Thus it does not exist in the stack - and is why the PL/SQL CLOB variable is called a locator as it only contains the pointer/address of the CLOB.
The CLOB itself exists in the database's temporary tablespace - and temporary LOB resource footprint in the database can be viewed via the v$temporary_lobs virtual performance view.
Passing a CLOB pointer by reference (pointer to a pointer) does not make any sense (as would be the case if the NOCOPY clause was honoured by PL/SQL for a CLOB parameter). It is passed by value instead.
So when you call a procedure and pass it a CLOB locator, that procedure will be dereferencing that pointer (via DBMS_LOB for example) in order to access its contents.
Quote from Oracle® Database SecureFiles and Large Objects Developer's Guide
>
A LOB instance has a locator and a value. The LOB locator is a reference to where the LOB value is physically stored. The LOB value is the data stored in the LOB.
When you use a LOB in an operation such as passing a LOB as a parameter, you are actually passing a LOB locator. For the most part, you can work with a LOB instance in your application without being concerned with the semantics of LOB locators. There is no requirement to dereference LOB locators, as is required with pointers in some programming languages.
>
The thing to guard against is not freeing CLOBs - the age old issue of not freeing pointers and releasing malloc'ed memory when done. In PL/SQL, there is fairly tight resource protection with the PL/SQL engine automatically releasing local resources when those go out of scope. But a CLOB (like a ref cursor) is not really a local resource. And as in most other programming language, the explicit release/freeing of such a resource is recommended.

How to setup jpeg file as background image for all site pages and resolution stay same?

I have uploaded my new site to http://wwwtjhtestdec2012.businesscatalyst.com
I have background image set the same on all site pages but image is incorrectly zoomed way in on some pages (like Home page for example).
The Donate Page shows the correct resolution which I want displayed on all site pages.
How do I set all other site pages to match background image resolution of the Donate Page?
I am not sure what I am doing wrong that is changing this, or if it's possibly a bug?
I want the background image to be full screen on all site pages please advise how to resolve.
I would appreciate the assistance!
Thank you kindly!
Tammy

I have re-uploaded my site to http://wwwtjhtestdec2012.businesscatalyst.com.
If I set the Master page to Tile vertically that is only way I can get full screen background image of vegetables (without distortion).
Then however another issue occurs....
On Home Page of site I set same property to Tile and the background is better (no visible line where tiles meet---above the navigation tool bar--that is what I want for all pages associated to Master.
So logically, I tried setting a 2nd associated site page to same master, to Tile but on Statement of Faith Page, notice the horizontal line where tiles meet, above my navigation bar on that site page?
Why does Muse not handle both site pages associated to the same master identically?
Any of the other options besides Tile or Tile vertically cause the background to not fill entire screen.
Ideas?

Customizing firefox ... set my own background image for all pages I open in Internet.

The idea is in using my own *.css file as primary for all sites, i open in firefox (or just my own background image). So that this image replaces the background for all sites I open in Internet.
Maybe there is a file available in firefox 17.1 for this (maybe UserContent.css).
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you can use userContent.css for this, but it's simpler to use the Stylish extension instead.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
You would then use something like this:
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
body {
background: url("file:///C:/My%20Pictures/Wallpaper/image.jpg") !important;
color: black !important;
*:not(body):not(input):not(textarea):not(button) {
background: transparent !important;
color: inherit !important;
/* Unvisited link */
a:link {
color: blueviolet !important;
/* Visited link */
a:visited {
color: indigo !important;
/* Link with the mouse cursor over it */
a:hover {
color: lightblue !important;
/* Clicked link */
a:active {
color: red !important;
}</nowiki></pre>
* To get the path of the image to use as the background, open it in Firefox and copy the URL from the address bar. Otherwise, keep in mind the protocol is file:/// that spaces must be replaced with %20 and that forward slashes must be used instead of backslashes (the latter is what Windows Explorer uses).
* Remember to define appropriate colors for text and links, otherwise they will end up unreadable against your background image.
* Even so, you can expect uneven results. Take this page for instance. “Post reply” isn't an actual button, but a link element styled to look like a button. There's no way to change these on all sites; they must be styled on a case-by-case basis. Another issue are images (e.g. the [https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/img/mozilla-support.png mozilla support] graphic here), which might end up unviewable against your background image.
* If you need help writing CSS, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/css or http://forum.userstyles.org
