Setting a default background color

Hi All,
I would like to set a default background color for all the
components that I'm going to draw. What is the best
way to achieve this?
Thanks.
Syed

You can set using UIManager of the Look and Feel.
UIManger.put("Button.background", Color.blue);
will set the color of all the JButtons to blue. Like that you can change for all the components you need.

Print outs have thin border when -default-background-color is set

Hey everyone. In my application the print out have this very thin border. The -default-background-color is set to #333333 (dark grey) and this is the problem. When I set the color to #FFFFFF (white), the thin borders go away.
When I set the default-backgroun-color to #FFFFFF, my loading screen is white. I don't want that.
Does anyone know how I can have my loading screen with a #333333, but not have the thin border lines around my print outs? Setting the border properties on the printed component doesn't work. The problem is with the background color.
Thanks for reading.

Still hacking away at this problem.
I thought I had the fix until I deployed the AIR application. Setting the -default-background-color to white worked fine when running from flex builder, but when I installed the application. The "borders" are still showing.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm printing Point of Sale receipts and they look like crap with these lines around them. On top of this, some printers print differently. The HPs print a border around the whole component. The Brother printers just print the left and right. One of my customer's printers just prints the bottom and right borders.

Flex 4.5.1 SDK & default-background-color Compiler Argument

Hey guys,
I was scanning the available compiler arguments list (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a92.html) for Flex 4.5 SDK and noticed that the -default-background-color argument is gone (I realize it's been gone since 4 just haven't used the SDK much lately). My background shows up as black when I run my app (it's an AS3 app with the new Away3D 4.0 Broomstick library) and there is no Flex code in my app so I was depending on this compiler argument to set my background color to white.
How can I achieve this now that the argument is no longer available? I just simply want to have a white background without physically having to create a white sprite in the back of my scene. Is this possible anymore?
Matt

Simeon,
Thanks for that, I had a brainfart and forgot you can have the properties defined in that manner. I changed it but it still wasn't working which made me realize I had to change the backgroundColor property on the view in Away3D. I realized this after trying the params for the class and then not adding the view (which had a white bg) and then i looked at the docs and bam, there it was. Thanks!

Flex 4 lacks the default-background-color compiler option?

Hello,
started converting my Flex 3 applications to Flex 4 and noticed that Flex 4 lacks the default-background-color compiler option.
Flex 3 has it: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html
Flex 4 doesn't: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a92.html
This raises a question: how am I supposed to keep my background from flashing from grey to white when the RIA is loaded? Is it possible to use preloader with background set to whatever color I like to see? Any easier solutions?
Best regards,
Jukka

This works for me:
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
mx|Application{
background-color:#ffffff;
Of course if you have changed the Application element to spark equivalent, you have to change the namespace.

Jukka

How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.

AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

Set current row background color

during post-query process, if record meets condition,
i would like to set the color of entire line.
thank you
[email protected]

Hi Jim,
create a visual_attribute named e.g. PQR and set the desired background color.
In post-query trigger:
declare
     currec number := Get_block_property('block1', current_record);
begin
if "condition" then
     set_item_instance_property('item1',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
     set_item_instance_property('item2',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
     set_item_instance_property('item3',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
end if;
end;
Good luck,
Monica

Default background color and Focuslistener disapair on table?

When I imp. TableCellRenderer on my table the default background color and Focuslistener disapair. What can I do to get it back and still keep TableCellRenderer on my table? This is how my TableCellRenderer looks:
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
        JFormattedTextField beloeb = new JFormattedTextField();
        beloeb.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(new NumberFormatter()));
        beloeb.setBorder(null);
        beloeb.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
        if (value != null) {
            if (value instanceof Double) {
                Double val = (Double) value;
                beloeb.setValue(val);
                if (val.doubleValue() < 0) {
                    beloeb.setForeground(Color.RED);
        beloeb.setFont(new Font("Verdana",Font.PLAIN, 11));
        beloeb.setOpaque(true);
        return beloeb;
    }

I'm sorry to say this is a terrible example of a renderer. The point of using a renderer is to reuse the same object over and over. You don't keep creating Objects every time a cell is renderered. In your example your are creating:
a) JFormattedTextField
b) NumberFormatter
c) DefaultFormatterFactory
d) Font.
So you start by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer. A JLabel is used to display the text. There is no need to use a JFormattedTextField. All you want to do is format the data. So in your constructor for the class you would create a NumberFormatter that can be reused to format your data. Then your code in the renderer would look something like:
if (value instanceof Double)
    Double val = (Double)value;
    setText( formatter.format(val) );
    if (negative)
      setForeground(Color.RED)
    else
        setForeground(table.getForeground());
}Here is a really simple [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=419688]example to get you started

Default background color issue

Hi,
I am trying to change themes at run-time using
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(). Whenever I switch to a theme,
the default theme's background color shows up for a fraction of a
second. I tried using the "StyleEvent.COMPLETE" event handler but
it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to remove this? I want the
transition from my current theme to the next theme to be smooth
without the default background color appearing. If anybody can
please provide a solution for this, It would be a great help.
Thanks,
Jai

That's not what he's talking about... He's saying if you load

the default, green Halo theme before switching to the new style...
If I load up my white theme (White.swf -- compiled to swf from css)
and then I want to change to my red theme (Red.swf) like:
StyleManager.unloadStyleDeclarations("White.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Red.swf");
At the * point in the execution, it will flash the green Halo
theme instead of just making a smooth transition from white to
red... It doesn't look so professional...
I have the same problem when switching themes, and it's very
annoying... Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...

Change default background color in Dynamic pages

Anyone knows how to change the default background color of a
dynamic content page in WEBDB 2.2?.
I want to display some information with a query in a Dynamic
Content Page but the background color is, by default, beige.
I try to force the the background color placing the html tag
<td bgcolor=#FFFFFF> but there is still a beige strip at the
left side of the table.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
For about how to inspect page element, you can use IE Developer Tools:

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

How to retrieve default background color for JPanels or other containers?

Hi everybody, I've written a small class extending the default JTextArea, intended to provide the functionality of a small, descriptive item in JPanels.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JInfoTextArea extends JTextArea{
     public JInfoTextArea(String text){
          super(text);
          setEditable(false);
          setFont(Font.decode("SansSerif"));
          setFocusable(false);
          setLineWrap(true);
          setWrapStyleWord(true);
//          setBackground(contentPane.getBackground());
          setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
          setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
}As you can see, there formerly used to be a third parameter, namely contentPane, which contained a reference to the parent Container in order to set the TextArea's background color appropriately for transparency.
Now, is there ANY way to retrieve the background color without either passing a dedicated parameter or doing something like
setBackground((new JPanel()).getBackground());Any help is greatly appreciated!
Yours, Stefanie

To answer your original question the UIManager contains properties of the various components. In case your interested the following program has a fancy GUI display of all the components:

Is a script available to set a default background for email messages?

I am new to the community, not to Mac though. Currently I am on a new MacBook Air, Lion installed.
I had a couple of minor issues about mail, the first I solved myself using automator, and succeding in sending an attachment file from finder. It went on working also after the upgrade from snow leopard to lion.
I could not find out how to set a specific default background for new email messages (e.g. a color, or a certain template); I do not want to do it everytime for each message. I tried automator, the workflows runs ok, tried to save it as service for mail and for finder but it did not catch; as application it works, but veeeery slow.
When I pull down the mail window, the Services line says "no services available".
Anyone who worked on this?
thanks

Set property for background color for JButton

I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
I would appreciate your advice.
