Sorting sheet by background color?

Hi board,
I am wondering if it is possible to sort a spreadsheet by row color? In other words I have a 3-column (Company, City, State) sheet with 500 rows of information. In Excel I can change the background color of any row or rows and then sort the sheet according to color.
Make sense?
Is this possible in Numbers '09?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah in Office 2007 for Win there is a function in the filter menu (maybe the custom section) that allows you to sort by cell and/or text color, pretty cool. I dont think the function has been added into Office 2008 Mac at least I cant find it.
In Win Office 2003 and before you had to add a marker column and sort with that , it looks like I may have to do that again in Numbers - pity.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.

Ian.

Contact sheet background color options iPhoto 9.10.1

I just upgraded to OS 10.9.1 and I can't figure out how to choose a black background when printing a contact sheet. In the older version I could select contact sheet and then from the print option at the bottom I could pick a background color, enabling me to print a contact sheet with a black backgound instead of white. Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?

Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?
Yes. Possibly Apple considered offering a black background to be too wastefull of ink., or not.

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder?

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder? I've noticed in Finder's View Options that I cannot choose to sort by name and have a background color in icon view. I've done a search in discussions and someone else mentioned this as well.

To sort by name.....
Open the finder window, then select the "change the item arragement" button. Choose name from the drop down.

Discovery: Border color trumps project background color, sort of

I just made an interesting discovery. My project background is set to #FFFFFF white (Edit > Preferences > Defaults > Background color) and my borders are set to the "company" orange (FF7900, REALLY orange). During normal viewing all is okay. However, if there's a lag between a published project ending and another loading, I see this gigantic orange box. Aha! if I disable my borders, I only see white during a loading transition. Apparently the borders are filling in the area during preloading?
I'll submit a feature request. --Leslie

In the Layout menu for two photos per page try selecting one of the top two options. That seemed to give me pink borders every time I selected it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Sort rows by fill color?

Is it possible in Numbers to sort rows based on the row fill color? There are only 2 colors the rows have as background (fill), and it would save time to sort based on the highlighted row. Any ideas?
Thank you-

I agree with jerrold.
I will certainly not ask Apple for such a feature.
Here is a script which may give you an efficient response.
property columnOffset : 2
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set {rName, tName, sName, dName} to my getSelection()
if (character 2 of rName) as text > "9" then
set columnLetter to text 1 thru 2 of rName
else
set columnLetter to character 1 of rName
end if
set twoNames to my decoupe(rName, ":")
set {colNum1, rowNum1} to my decipher(item 1 of twoNames)
set columnToSort to colNum1 + columnOffset
tell document dName to tell sheet sName to tell table tName
set myColor to background color of (get properties of range rName)
set nbRows to count rows
repeat with r from 1 to 14 --nbRows
set val to background color of (get properties of range (columnLetter & r & ":" & columnLetter & r))
set val to (val is myColor)
set value of cell r of column columnToSort to val
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--=====
on getSelection()
local mySelectedRanges, sheetRanges, thisRange, _, myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc, mySelection
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
set mySelectedRanges to selection range of every table of every sheet
repeat with sheetRanges in mySelectedRanges
repeat with thisRange in sheetRanges
if contents of thisRange is not missing value then
try
--return thisRange --poorly formed result
thisRange as text
on error errMsg number errNum
set {_, myRange, _, myTable, _, mySheet, _, myDoc} to my decoupe(errMsg, quote)
--set mySelection to (a reference to (range rn of table tn of sheet sn))
return {myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc}
end try
end if -- contents…
end repeat -- thisRange
end repeat -- sheetRanges
end tell -- document 1
end tell -- application
return {missing value, missing value, missing value, missing value}
end getSelection
--=====
on decipher(n)
local letters, colNum, rowNum
set letters to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
if (character 2 of n) as text > "9" then
set colNum to (offset of (character 1 of n) in letters) * 64 + (offset of (character 2 of n) in letters)
set rowNum to (text 3 thru -1 of n) as integer
else
set colNum to offset of (character 1 of n) in letters
set rowNum to (text 2 thru -1 of n) as integer
end if
return {colNum, rowNum}
end decipher
--=====
on decoupe(t, d)
local l
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to d
set l to text items of t
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return l
end decoupe
--=====
Select a cell with the color to use in the sort.
Run the script.
It will fill the column whose offset from the selected one is defined by the property 'columnOffset'
If the background of the cell in the source column is the searched one the value will be 1
if the background is not this one, the value will be 0.
So it will be easy to use a condition.

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

No background color on pop-up text labels in dock

Something strange has happened to my dock. Normally when I mouse over an icon, text appears above it saying the name of the program. The text is white on a dark gray background. Recently I have noticed that the dark gray background has disappeared, leaving only white text. In some cases this makes it completely unreadable depending on the position of any open windows. I have looked in the preferences pages but I can't find any option to change the background color for the pop-up text.
Note that I don't have any customization programs installed.
Any help is appreciated.

Try using a web safe color (one of the 256 colors shown in
the pop up palette in Dreamweaver) color # 7dabef is not in that
group. By the way, it doesn’t show up in Netscape either.
This limitation kind of stinks, but ot’s something we
have to live with, and you need to get used to the limitations if
you want to publish for multiple browsers and monitor setups.
However, I could be wrong… since a test of your color
shows up in a table background in all 3 browsers… and it
shows in all three browsers when set as a page property…
So… setting the background color in CSS (using your css
file unaltered) shows the color in EI, but not FF or NS… so,
I’m learning something here as well.
So, ok… took everything out of the style sheet except
for :
body {
background-color: #7dabef;
And your background shows up in all the browsers… so
now, to figure out what is conflicting with it…
Thanks Bash... I was working in that direction, and you
jumped in and fixed it...

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the code.
DialogWrapper is JDialog and ColorEditorPane is JPanel.
DialogWrapper dlg = new DialogWrapper();
ColorEditorPane colorPanel = new ColorEditorPane();
colorPanel.setValue( _data.getTransparentColor());
dlg.showWrappedDialog( colorPanel, "color_help", "color_dialog" );
if( dlg.isOK())
Color chosenColor = (Color) colorPanel.getValue().getContent();
_data.setTransparentColor( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setBackground( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setOpaque( true );
this.repaint();
this.doLayout();
this.validate();
}I've several components like JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JTextField in "this".

How can I change the background color in the inbox?

The background color in my inbox (well, all mailboxes) is white. A yellow background would make the existing black text a lot easier to read. How can I change the background color in the inbox?

JTree custom renderer setting selection background color problem

Hi,
I have a JTree with a custom icon renderer that displays an icon. The JTree is part of a TreeTable component. Iam having a problem setting the selection background uniformly for the entire row. There is no problem when there is no row selected in the JTable.
My present code looks like this:
Iam overriding paint in my renderer which extends DefaultCellRenderer.
     super.paint(g);
        Color bColor = null;
        if(!m_selected) {
             if(currRow % 2 == 0) {
                  bColor = Color.WHITE;
             } else {
                                                bColor = backColor;
        } else {
             bColor = table.getSelectionBackground();                  bColor = getRowSelectionColor();
     if(bColor != null) {
                       g.setColor(bColor);
         if(!m_selected) {
               g.setXORMode(new Color(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF));
         } else {
             g.setXORMode(new Color(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));
              I have a color I arrive at using some algorithm that I want using method getRowSelectionColor(). The other cells in the row have this color. But the cell containing the tree node shows different color. Iam not able to arrive at the right combination of the color to set and the xor color so my tree node also looks like the other cells in the row.
It is not a problem really as the table still looks good. Its just that the tree node looks like it has been highlighted and this might cause a problem when a table cell is highlighed later on in the application ( two cells in the row would be highlighted causing confusion).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Camickr,
Thanks for the reply. Iam sorry I didn't include the sources the first time around. There were too many of them. I have created a small, self-contained, compilable program that demonstrates the problem and including it herewith. Still there's quite many files but they are all needed Iam afraid. The only one you will have to concern yourself fior this problem is the file IconRenderer.java. The treenode background and the other cells background are not in sync when table row is not selected in this example though. But they are in my real program. I just need them to be in sync i.e have the same background color when the row is selected.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
These are the files that are included below:
1. AbstractTreeTableModel.java
2. Bookmarks.java
3. BookmarksModel.java
4. DynamicTreeTableModel.java
5. IconRenderer.java
6. IndicatorRenderer.java
7. JTreeTable.java
8. TreeTableExample3.java (contains main)
9. TreeTableModel.java
10. TreeTableModelAdapter.java

How do you change the background color & font in a text-only popup?

It has been ages since I did this and I can't seem to remember how. I tried to edit the style sheet but it only has options to change the text-only popup hotspot/link and I need to change the background color and font style within the popup itself. Tried Adobe's help but it had no answer for me. Any one out there know how to do this? I am running RoboHelp 7.

By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

Themes work in Thunderbird - duggabe was not refering to Firefox.
Another useful addon is theme and font changer:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
However, Thunderbird allows you to modify all sorts of things.
Make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Help > Troubleshooting Information
Click on 'show Folder' button
a window opens shwoing profile folder name
Close Thunderbird now - this is important
In the profile name folder, Create a new folder called '''chrome''' - note the spelling
It should be in the same place as the 'Mail' folder.
see first image below.
Open Notepad
Can be located : Start > Programs > accessories
Copy everything shown between the lines below.
Paste into Notepad.
Save as '''userChrome.css''' - note the spelling (edit updated - this was a typo error)
This should be saved in the '''chrome''' folder.
see second image below.
Restart Thunderbird.
I have chosen a yellow for you
<pre>
#f6f58c = a yellow....it is a hex code for a colour.
</pre>
You can change it if required. Remember when updating anything in the profile folders, you must close Thunderbird first.
More info on colours.

Table content hover, background color change

How can I achieve this background color hover effect? Like the table on this page:
http://uconn.edu/holiday/teams.html

If you want all your links to have the same effect then put this code in your style sheet:
a:hover {
background:#73D5FC;
border:1px solid #DDDDDD;
Good luck.

Regarding Background color change in OIM admin and user console

Hi all,
I tried to change the Background color and Text modification in Login Page,Register Page of OIM Adminstration and user console.
As per the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager 11g guide i did Style Sheet Modifications.I created the skin the trinidad-skins.xml and myskin.css in admin.war and iam-consoles0faces.war.Even after it not reflecting on oim admin and user console.
After modifiacetions i cleared purgecache.sh as well as tmp [$DOMAIN_ROOT/servers/oim_server1/tmp/] directory.
I think i have done modifications in wrong way.Can anyone please suggest me to do the correct modifications as soon possible.
Regards,
Karthick.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks,
I am not able recall any major change.
All i can recall is changing some files for customization like changing some text through filexlWebApp.war and i also i have not i am still to run patch utility. I guess this should not be the reason.
Which configuration file i should look for this ?
