Form Colors

I am using CFFORM. For my cfinput, how do I make the text boxes and/or checkboxes a different color. The form has a mixture of display (no changes) and entry fields and some users are complaning that they cannot see which fields to enter/edit, so I want to make those a different color, like yellow, to stand out.
I tried <cfinput style="color:yellow"> and that did not work. I tried <cfinput style="background color:yellow'> and that just changed the background color to yellow, not the textbox, or the checkbox.
What is the command to make those a different color instead of the default white ?
thanks

see celestialkennels.com "contact us"
part of the scrip is as follows
<style type="text/css">

</style>
then the input form is
<INPUT NAME="myfield" TYPE="text" class="style6" id="myfield" SIZE="50" MAXLENGTH="250">
you can also make input fields exact size with the style=width.... see below.
<INPUT NAME="anotherfield" TYPE="text" class="style6" id="anotherfield" style="width: 30px" SIZE="3"
the nice thing about this is you can create as many styles as u want and apply to diff. "inputs" on the same page
the "scrollbar" was done because browsers other that IE do not allow you to change scrollbar colors and IE's edited scrollbar isn't exactly stylish. the rest seems to work on all major browsers though u might have to adapt some js for indivual browsers with a detect and then say .style6s for safari in an cfif/else statement.
script for scrollbar was addapted from:
//Page Scroller (aka custom scrollbar)- By Dynamic Drive
//For full source code and more DHTML scripts, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
hope this helps,

Hi
You have to create a new form using the template form in oracle applications.
Copy the TEMPLATE.fmb and library files from $AU_TOP/forms/US and $AU_TOP/resource directory into your local forms directory and then open the TEMPLATE.FMB and stast the designing.....
You can also refer metallink and oracle portal to get the standard procedure for creating a custom form in oracle applications.
Seems like my friend Manikandan ...are you ?

Form colors all different in 9i after upgrading

After upgrading my forms from v6 to 9i, when I run them through 9ias, the colors are all different from what they were when it was client server. The colors are also very dark.
A related question, I setup the applet to be 600x800 in size, but my main screen isn't this big. The window where my main screen is located is fine color wise, but the rest of the applet window is black, which makes things look really dark.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jim, we spoke last week about your report server questions. I hope you were able to get those worked out.
To tweak your forms colors, make some changes in the formsweb.cfg file located in your Oracle_home/forms/server directory of your Business Intelligence and Forms part of the installation. Creating your own graphic for the background (we used white) can help lighten the screens some. Also, change between Oracle Look and Feel and Windows look and feel and see which you like better. Since we run Windows XP on all our desktops, we found the Oracle Look and Feel more closely resembled that. You can also play with the different color schemes in that file. We are using teal and that has satisfied most of our users.
Hope this helps,
Deborah

Oracle seeded form color got changed after registration of a custom form

Hi,
I have register a custom form in Oracle apps 11i.
Custom form is opening properly but when we are navigating to open the oracle standard form, oracle standard form is coming completely black.
Could you please through some light on it. It would be great help.
Regards

Sounds like your new form was not based on the EBS template.fmb so your new form has a different color pallet. When developing for the EBS, you should always use the template.fmb as the starting point for any new form. To fix this, I recommend you open the template.fmb and your new form and then copy all of the objects from your new form into the template.fmb and then save the template.fmb as your new form. You could change the color pallet, but there may be other things your new form is missing so it would be best to start with the template.fmb. This will ensure you have all of the default triggers and libraries attached that an EBS form should have. :)

UDO Form color

There doesn't appear to be a UDO form property for color. I would like our UDO forms to look consistent with the color selected by the user in the general settings. Is that possible?

when you look in the uiapi documentation and search for color you will get a result
with <forms> Element
there is the tag description of the <form> tag and there you see color
so it looks like that via .xml it is possible
i tested it
there's already a color="0" entry
when you change it to color="3" in the xml it is blue
when it was helpful enough reward me
if not anyway - regards
David

Forms Color Utility -- Color.fmb download

Just for kicks, I have created a form that lets you create any color available to the computer environment. On the canvas, I built a copy of the Forms Builder color palette, as well as a 9 x 9 matrix with variables so you can blend any color possible.
Although there are some differences between Client/Server and Web Forms, it works in Forms 6, 9 and 10. I have a web page with a picture of its screen and a short write-up. You are welcome to download the fmb and give it a try.
There is an on-line help canvas (click the "?" button) to help you use all its features.
The Web page is here: http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~stevec/color
Have fun!
<font color="red">Update: </font>One warning, however -- It does not work with early versions of Forms 6i (6.0.8.8.0 - 6.0.8.11.3) You MUST apply the Forms 6i patches in order to run it. I use it regularly with my Forms 6i with patch 17 applied: (version is 6.0.8.26.0)

I have updated the COLOR.fmb color creator form. With more work, I found that Web Forms will generate about 48 custom colors before it quits and uses colors only in the palette. The new version reflects this, and gives a notice when you reach the limit.
Martin, I'll add the on-logon trigger in the next update -- but I'll also provide some logon logic, too, so you can use the GO button to call a new form. Otherwise the new form gets ORA-3114 (not connected).
I also added an odd/even choice to change the rgb color numbers created -- web forms uses even numbers, while client/server uses odd numbers.
The new COLOR.fmb can be downloaded at:

Form Colur with different Color Schemes

Hi,
When loading a new form from a xml file, SBO (6.5) doesn't use the color from the selected color scheme.
Ther are no properties exposed in the form object to adjust the colour in code.
Is a certain value required as the color (e.g. -1) in the xml file to enable an auto color mode?
Thanks,
Gerold

I haven´t see any property for changing the forms color. I suppose you could access the srf file and change the color after you load your custom form.
What points me to another question... Which color should you use ? Perhaps save an existing form as xml, and then read the color property... it seems quite a lot of work for the functionallity.
By the way, in the SBO GUI the color is set for each form. You can have a grey form and a blue form together.

Ibai Peñ

Help - Color Management Confusion!

I'm hoping someone can give me some clear guidance as to how to configure my software to integrate color management so that what I see on my monitor is comparable to what I print or post on the web. I've read all I can find on-line and looked through a number of books and magazines, but as my reading increases, so does my confusion - too many menus, options, links and connections. I'll describe what I have in terms of hardware and software in as much detail as possible. My hope is that someone can help me figure out how to coordinate color management across all platforms and outputs.
I run an HP desktop with an ASUS IPD monitor. I have ColorMunki and have reguarly conducted their diagnostic, which gives me an updated monitor profile every two weeks - when a new profile is created, it becomes my default under Windows 7 Control Panel Color Management. I print with an Epson Stylus Photo R1900 with Epson paper and ink. I use the printer and paper profiles supplied by Epson for the R1900 and specific papers.
On the other end, I have Nikon photo equipment. I set the color space on my cameras to ProPhoto and I shoot exclusively in Nikon raw format - .NEF. I shoot a D90 and a D7000 with 12M and 16M files respectively. I download directly from the SD card using Windows Explorer and then import into Lightroom 3.
I have Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 Extended. I use Lightroom to import raw files into the catalog and to do basic editing. From there, I publish to Smugmug as .TIFF files - directly from Lightroom. I also export files from Lightroom to Photoshop CS5 Extended and save them as .PSD and .JPEG files. The files that I export to Smugmug look pretty good - similar to what I see on my screen. My real conundrum is with the Epson printer and Lightroom/Photoshop. What I see on my monitor is very different from what prints. From both platforms. As a rule, the shots are too dark and the colors are often very muted. This is especially true with images of people and skin tones. They often come out looking pale gray or blue.
Right now, my solution is to tweak and print until I get something close enough to print, while the image on my monitor looks horrible. Needless to say, this is not a viable solution for the long term - it is too expensive and time consuming. I've tried to read and then adjust adjust both programs, but I'm confused as to what to set where. I've taken to explorting Lightroom files into Photoshop to use the soft-proof capability. it works better but still not great and not consistent. When I do the Photoshop soft-proof, I see signficant portions of most images as "out of gamut>" I also notice that these areas are often the ones with odd colors.
My problem, (well, one of them) is the multitude of menus that have color management inputs - how do I make sure they are all working together and reinforcing each other instead of working at cross purposes? In Lightroom, I have Page Setup and Print Preferences, as well as Color Management options in the Print Module right hand panel. In Photoshop, I have Print and Page setups, as well as Color Management menus. There are also the Proof menus to consider.
In Photoshop, softproofing, I think I ned to select teh printer profile so that Photoshop is showing me how the printer will interpret the color space. I also think I need to be consistent in how I define the workspace - from Nikon to Lightroom to Photoshop to Epson. If I use ProPhoto with my camera do I need to use that in every circumstance? Should I switch to Adobe RGB? I have printer setting color space turned off in both LR and PS.
Can someone walk me through any or all of this? Right now, all of these moving parts is making me dizzy. It's said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. This proves the point. Three months ago, I had color management problems but had no idea what such a thing was. Now, I know a lot more about it, but my results are no better - worse in some respects. Anyone who can help will earn major Karma points and hae my undying gratitude for several months. Sorry - that's all the compensation I can offer!
Thanks in advance for any help.

That was a nearly mature tornado forming in Nebraska, and it dissipated at the last moment because at that time the sun went down and the temperature dropped rapidly. I was glad, because I was camping in a travel trailer at the time, and everyone knows trailers attract tornados.
Lundberg02 wrote:
Please explain why and under what circumstances anyone would want to use a device independent profile as a monitor profile, which should be a device dependent profile.
Here's one example, to answer your specific question:
You have a monitor that provides sRGB performance (e.g., via a specific sRGB setting). You judge (and/or ensure via your own calibration) that it provides satisfactory sRGB color accuracy for your needs, so you set the monitor profile to sRGB, which is accurate in this case.
What does this do for you?
Images displayed in Internet Explorer, which assumes your monitor is sRGB regardless of your profile, are now properly color-managed because you have made IE's assumption valid. By the way, Microsoft does not appear to be going to change this behavior any time soon.
Untagged images, considering a majority of untagged images assume sRGB encoding, are displayed properly by apps that just pass them through to the display. Some browsers do this.
sRGB images (the majority) are displayed properly by non-color-managed apps. If you choose to set your preferred working space to sRGB, then your own processed images will display properly using your non-color-managed apps. Such apps include various viewers, the thumbnails in Windows Explorer, etc.
The sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile is a clean, well-formed color profile and works well in virtually every color-managed application. It's the Windows default, so you can imagine most apps are very well tested with it.
Screen grabs are already in the sRGB color space, so if your working space is sRGB then you gain simplicity and don't have gotchas when mixing screen grabs back into your workflow.
Since the color-gamut is not wide, the distance between adjacent colors in a 24 bit color environment is smaller - the display of gradients looks smoother, and you might not crave 30 bit color quite so much.
There are other subtle advantages as well, simply because so much of software development throughout history has assumed the representation of color images on computers is sRGB. It's akin to "going with the flow".
In short, setting up a soup-to-nuts sRGB system means more images match more often across more applications with a system set up this way. If I'm not mistaken, that's about what the original poster is asking about, which is why RikRamsay's response is not unreasonable.
And there are, of course, some specific disadvantages to doing this.
For one thing, one does not have the direct ability to work with a wider gamut of colors. There are those who wish to work in wider gamut color spaces, have wide gamut monitors, and wide gamut printers. Brighter, better managed colors may well help such a person set his/her work off from the crowd. This is starting to become more and more important in this day and age of better and better wide gamut hardware.
It's not straightforward to set up a system so that its sRGB response is accurate, though it is doable. Can you trust the factory sRGB calibration of a monitor that advertises sRGB response characteristics?

Command Button colors corrupt after switching back and forth from design view.

I would say my experience level with Access is "getting there."
I therefore don't thing I'm making a newbish mistake.
Has anyone else noticed this? As it's bugging me quite badly.
1. A command button has had it's color formatted (pressed, hover, etc. nothing fancy)
2. It works fine.
3. In my navigation form, if I switch to design view, then select a given sub-form... like "customers" - and switch back out of design view, to form view - then without fail, all customized command buttons within that sub forms' color will 'corrupt'
ie, change.
4. Closing and reopening the navigation form (ie, my main menu) restores it, but the same thing will happen should I go back to design view for the sub form.
5. Finally - this behaviour does not happen when switching back and forth between views on the original form that isn't a sub form in the navigation form. (Ie,. the main 'customers' form).
Can any clever folk give me a solution? :(
Thanks,
Eric Rowlands
EDIT - My apologies, I am using Access 2013 for a desktop database.

1) We will need to understand whether the issue is seen on any sample database.
2) IS this seen only on your system, we would need to check on other system also
3) If the issue is seen in all system & issue is not seen in the sample database then this could be database specific issue
4) As per my understanding the issue is consistent, we would need to find what is the VBA code or which code is used while designing this form.
5) We would need to see if the issue is seen only on that particular navigation form?
6) Is the button gets corrupt I mean to say non-usable once it get discolored ?
7) What is your end goal just in case if you are able to work on your database i.e. when working on the navigation form without going in design view is issue still seen there ?
8) Since when are you experiencing this issue ?
9) If possible please provide me the environment details of your system & Access application, whether the issue is seen only in access 2010 can we check in access 2007 or in access 2013.
I would really appreciate if you can answers the above questions this will really help us to isolate the issue further
in terms of technical troubleshooting after answering the above question I might come up with another question so that we can do extensive isolating the issue so the if required we can involve the developer also.

Using a script to "recolor" forms

Hello,
I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I'd ask. We maintain forms applications that exist in a Real World Mode and a Test Mode. The only difference is what database I connect to , and the color of the forms. Is there a way to write a script (maybe in perl) that could modify the .fmb files and change the form colors without having to bring up the forms developer and slop through all the forms? I've looked at the .fmb files and unfortunately they appear to not be entirely ascii....

> How do you tell which database you're attached to?
Each db has a table with one row and column with 'Test' or 'Production' in it. The startup form that each user is required to use queries that table and stores the value in a global variable.
> I would also like to see the sample code

Oracle AS Portal forms with CSS

hey guys,
I have an Oracle AS Portal 10gR2. I have created forms on that portal. Is there any way to change the look and feel of the control buttons (save, update, delete, .. etc) in those portal forms (color, size, etc)? and how can that be done using css or another way

Portal have his own Styles for such things, where you can modify the font type, size, color and other things for pages as well for forms objects. For buttons I'm not quite shure but I remember that there is a way to change this buttons for an specific image.
Greetings.
