Setting background colour to transparent?

Why does cropping a photo leave a green background instead of being transparent? I'm fairly new at using the Photo Elements 10, I had v.7 which I could select "reverse" and delete background, then copy and paste into a new picture. However, the "copy" has a feathered edge and when I flatten the image then try to re-size/crop image, the background of the copy is still dark green??
I can't remember how to set the background colour to "clear" not coloured nor feathered .... Please help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Double click the background layer to turn it to a regular layer before you start. If you delete on a background layer, the empty space fills with the chosen background color.

Unable to set background colour JTableHeader in Java 1.6_18

We're moving our application from Java 1.4.2 to 1.6_18, so far without major problems but there's some small issues with the GUI. Originally we'd change the background colour of the JTableHeader, but in 1.6_18 that doesn't seem to work. Instead of colouring the complete header it just seems to draw an outline. It kind of gives the impression that there's something on top of the table header which hides the coloured background.
The code below shows what I'm trying to do, and gives different results when compiled in Java 1.4.2 and Java 1.6_18. It makes no difference whether I'm using the UIManager or setting the background directly on the JTableHeader.
The application still works fine of course, but it bugs me that I can't work out what the problem is, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've already had a look at bug [6521138|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6521138], but it makes no difference whether a new JTableHeader is set, so I think it's different. Also, the workaround for bug [4776303|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4776303] has no effect so I think that doesn't apply either.

Ah yes, when I change that setting the background of the table header indeed gets the expected background colour. Unfortunately it also makes my desktop look hopelessly outdated :-( And I can't really expect my end-customers to change their settings just to run my little application. Still, I suppose this proves that the problem lies in the L&F?Seconded Jeanette's sentiment, this is definitely a feature, not a problem. You want system LaF, you get System LaF, with all the bells and whistles. If you're sure you don't want the system embellishments, you could consider using my [_default table header cell renderer_|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/default-table-header-cell-renderer/].

Setting Background Colour with a Value Retrieved from a Database

I'm retrieving different colours from a database and I want
to set the background colour of a canvas to the colour retrieved.
I've tried doing the following:
<mx:TileList
x="2" y="237"
direction="horizontal"
dataProvider="{MakeUpColours.lastResult.Colour}"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
width="288" height="167.04999"
themeColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Canvas width="35" height="35">
<mx:Canvas width="30" height="30" x="5" y="5"
backgroundColor="{data.ColourNo}">
<mx:Image source="
http://localhost/Flex/Personalised%20Palettes-debug/{data.@PictureSrc}"/>
<mx:Label text="{data.@ColourNo}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
But it just makes the background colour black. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

Setting background images for transparent terminals

Of the various terminal emulators I've tried (aterm, urxvt, terminal) none of them function properly with regard to transparency if the background is set with imagemagick.
display -window root <image>
Terminal and aterm do not show through to the background image at all. While urxvt does become transparent, none of the tinting options show any effect.
This is not a huge issue. There are of course many other programs that can be used to set a background image. When using feh for example, all of the afore mentioned terminal emulators seem to handle transparency as expected.
feh --bg-scale <image>
However, if both methods of setting the background are used at the same time with different images, then the terminal emulators will show through to the background image that was placed with feh, while the actual desktop background is that of the image set by imagemagick. So the images are effectively placed on different layers.
There was a forum thread that hinted at this before, but there was never any resolution to it. Is this behavior a bug or a "feature"? With which program?
And if it makes any difference I've tried this in both openbox and ion3. Same results.

derelict wrote:There was a forum thread that hinted at this before, but there was never any resolution to it. Is this behavior a bug or a "feature"? With which program?
It's a bug with the apps that set the background which use the "old way" of doing it. Apps like feh use the "newer approach" which allows things such as aterm to detect the real image and use it for pseudo-transparency.

Problem in setting background colour for jButton.

Hi,
I have a jButton in which I want to set the color of the body of the button to gray. But by setting the background color, the color of only the border surrounding the button is changed to red. How can I set the color of the the body of the button to gray?

Maybe those free hosting sights that show up in my google search are only US based.photobucket was the first result in my search, but I was surprised it isn't blocked ;-)
I went ahead and created an account with photobucket. I'm assuming all I have to do is make the album public and provide a direct link (hopefully). Otherwise I just simply give up

Yup, I see it now. Tends to support what I said about system L&Fs (and you agreed)... I think if I was designing it, I would want to disallow even the red border :P
Just a nitpick, but the whole purpose of the system L&Fs being to provide a user experience consistent with different OS'es, should one even be trying to change a button background? A splash of color can always be done with an Icon.I'm going to have to agree with you on this one.If the non-system look is absolutely necessary in a Vista L&F, a paintComponent override should be a solution. Or, in case multiple buttons are to be customized, a custom UI delegate inheriting from javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicButtonUI.

Chanage background colour of adjacent column in xMII 11.5

Hi All,
Is it possible to change background color of adjacent column based on values.
e. g.
col1     col2     col3     col4     col5     col6
0     A     0     A     0     A
1     B     1     B     1     B
0     C     0     C     0     C
1     D     1     D     1     D
0     E     0     E     0     E
is it possible to set background colour of col2 based on value of col1.
col2 red if col1 value is 0 and col2 green if col1 value is 1

Hi Sachin,
I hope the columns are of iGrid. You can do it by writing iGrid methods.
For all rows, get the cell value using:
document.iGrid.getGridObject().getCellValue(ROWNUMBER,COLNUMBER)
Write the logic of color and apply the color to specific column using
document.iGrid.getGridObject().setCellBackgroundColor(ROWNUMBER,COLNUMBER,COLOR)
Hope this solves your problem.

Colour and transparent boolean

Hello everyone,
I want to set the boolean indicator to colour and transparant. This mean when error occurs, boolean indicator will be changed to red and transparent, so this boolean will not cover the below floor map. I set all boolean onto the actual floor map and i don't want to cover floor map. I can set only transpaent at no error state but i cann't set red colour and transparent at error state.. Is there any way to set. Thanks for all in advances..

Here's a very rough draft of the idea above (LabVIEW 8.5). Of course you should import custom graphics into the boolean indicators for the desired look.

Setting a global/default background colour?

Hi,
Is there a way in which I can set all objects in my program to have the same background colour with a global command, rather than have to do it for every single object seperately.
Dave.

Thats sounds about right, but come to think of it, I
dont want to set ALL components to the same backround
colour. I want to keep things like certain buttons
the same.What do you mean certain buttons ? With a Look and Feel class you can set the colors for ALL the buttons the same , and all the colors for say the text components the same , but if you want some buttons a certain color and other buttons another color I would Make my own button , say ColorButton that extends JButton, and then you pass a Color in the constructer and set se color ... Something like that ??

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 :)

PS CS4: Automatically set background to transparent

Hi!
I have a small but annoying problem:
After a fresh Windows installation I installed Photoshop CS4 again. Since then, whenever I open an image of any format, when I cut out a segment, the background underneath appears white, whereas before the new installation, it had automatically been transparent, regardless of the file format.
Now, when I want a transparent background, I have to double-click on the "layers" window so that a new layer ("layer 0") is created. Then, when I cut out a segment, the background automatically is transparent.
Now, my question is, how do I set up Photoshop so that the background of any image opened in Photoshop automatically is transparent?
It used to be the case before the new installment.
I know, it's a small problem, but a very annoying one.
Thanks!

Sorry, I can't believe your statement:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
... it had automatically been transparent, regardless of the file format.
A JPG image for example NEVER can have a transparent background.
How do you open your images?
Is it something like Copy > File New > Paste?
What file formats do you edit generally?

Change background colour of full screen slideshow when set to fit content proportionally

I've signed up for a demo of Muse and must say I'm very impressed. Having used Dreamweaver in the past at Uni, often getting bogged down in code, Muse is a designers dream. I've even told some friends about it, describing it as "InDesign for web designers". The features, and tutorials on Adobes site, are fab however I'm now needing a bit of assistance.
I'd like several images to fit the whole screen on a specific section of my Muse website, right under the navigation bar. I've noticed the easiest way to do this is create a full screen slideshow. With this option I can add one, or multiple, pictures to fade in and out - communicating various messages and selling points. By default the widget options are set to Fill Frame, which expands my graphic to completely fill the browser. Unfortunately with this selected the image loses some quality and seems to zoom in, getting cropped in the process. When changing the settings to Fit Content Proportionally everything looks great. The graphic is smack bang right under my navigation like I desire however there is also a ghastly grey box either side because the graphic is now it's original size. The grey on either side seems to be the slideshow background colour but I am unable to figure out a way to alter this - from grey to black. Please see the link for more info: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50403221/Screen%20Shot%202014-08-14%20at%2018.00.34.pn g
Would any fellow Musers know of a way to get round this? Or perhaps should this be an enhancement request?
Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Can you select the slideshow widget that you have added and check the fill color in control panel.
Please refer to the following screenshot :

Setting a page background colour

Hi everyone,
Im new to InDesign, and am (or at least i thought i was), in the final stages of completing a brochure (A4 landscape format) for my photography business.
The brochure Im creating is intended as both a downloadable pdf and also for viewing on screen.
My issue is this:
Ive somehow managed to set it up so that the page background colour is black, which is what I want, as my text alternates between white and a shade of grey.
However, when I PDF this document, or try to physically print it, the pages show up as white, and so a lot of my white text does not show and the grey text looks almost invisible.
Can someone please enlighten me as to how I actually achieve what i would like to - i.e. black pages.
Many, many thanks in advance.
Stevieboy1970

Thanks for your reply.
I figured that would be the way to go. Though I'm getting a glitch when using image gallery widgets where the background colour flashes white when zooming on an image on the final ipad book. The background fade effect when zooming is set by default to start from white I presume. Hope they fix that soon.
