Add background colour to text path?

Hello,
I have a circular path on which I'm typing text. I have 2 questions:
1) How can I 'extend' the typing area of the circle to allow me to type on various points of the path? I've adjusted the 'markers' using the direct selection tool, but when I press tab or space, the original text moves
2) Is it possible to colour the background of text, in such a path?
I've attatched a screenshot, if you need more, please let me know. As you can see, at the top of the path is one blue line where the text starts, however I want to type in 3 places.
Thank you

Look if you keep adding criteria no one willb.e able to give you any real help and you have to follow instructions you cannot interpret the steps to try and simplify any thing.
You clearly have two pths with different radii so it was supposed be on path. But besides that the methd I suggested is not going to work with so may cities or other text items.
Here this what you do but follow the intructions.
1. You create your cicle path and copy and paste in front, for past in front the keyboard short cut is command f or control f depending on your platform.
2. You mke the top one into a text path and paste the spces as per the video I posted.
3. You type your cities
4. Lock the text path
5. give the path below the text path a stroke to the desired weight
6. then scale path with the stroke so that the text is aligned to the center of the stroke
7. then switch to the scissor tool and cut the path wityh the stroke so you can delete the unwanted portions
You get this
0r this if you change the colors which can bee done after cutting the path.
You should know this is rather basic and probably why no one else came forward you should look at some tutorials on Adobe TV and get a better feel for the program.

Add background colour to text

Hi
I was just wondering it its possible to add a text background colour in muse (for links) natively or would I have to achieve this by using CSS?
Had a search but could not find an answer.
Thanks

Yes ... but I don't know why the above solution has been picked as Correct, because it's wrong ...
Just create the text wording you want then give it give that a background FILL colour as would with any other element ... to make it look better add a STROKE of about 1 (or 2) ... then a bevel (rounded corners) of 3 ... then use the 'Spacing' option (right panel) and use the pixel settings to give the text equal spacing from the edges so they're not too tight to the borders ...
The button below (which is on a black background) was given a Facebook link ... when hovering over the link you get the hand popup to show it's a web link ... and was customised to the colour theme of the website ... then use the STATE options to create colours for Over, Down and Active ... to show feedback when using the button ...
Just click on the text field to set a hyperlink ... no need to actually highlight the whole text itself ... and don't forget to tick the 'open in new window or tab' box if that's what you want it to do ...
cheers,

How to insert background colour into text?

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Dreamweaver so I'm not sure how exactly to phrase this question. Within a div file on my HTML I have created I have a few links taking the user to another page. .
For the sake of clarity I have inserted an image to express what I am trying to say.
The background colour for my div is a chocolate brown. I was wondering if there was any way of creating a background for the text for each link within the div? So the text would have a background with a different colour?
I'm trying to create something that looks like this:
Does anyone know if this is possible to do? Do I have to create separate Div files within the main div file to do this?
Apologies for the lack of detail, I just don't know the technical words to show what I'm looking to do! Any tips or links to tutorials would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

First, we need to examine the HTML code used to construct your menu. The modern approach is to use an unordered list like this:
<nav>
     <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Menu Item1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Menu Item2 </a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Menu Item3</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Menu Item4</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Menu Item5</a></li>
     </ul>
</nav>
Then style your navigation with CSS like this:
<style>
/**zero out margins & padding on everything**/
margin:0;
padding:0;
/**fix the CSS Box Model on % layouts**/
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;
nav {
    width: 100%; /**adjust width as needed**/
    background-color: #960;
    padding: 30px;
nav ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0
nav li {
    width: 20%;
    list-style: none;
    font-size: 14px;
    float: left;
    text-align: center;
/**menu links**/
nav li a {
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    margin-right: 6px;   /* space between links */
    width: auto; /* adjust as needed or use auto */
    padding: 6px;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 2em;
    color: #FFF;
    background: orange;
/**menu style on mouse over**/
nav li:hover {
    color: #FFF;
    background: #1e5799;
/**clear floats after nav element**/
nav:after {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    content: ' ' ;
/**END MENU STYLES**/
</style>

Background colours for text

Anyone know whether it is possible to set different background shades and colours for specific bits of text, say, to highlight traditionally with a bright yellow background, or grey out various key words within a passage?
Any help greatly appreciated!

If you are highlighting an entire paragraph use the paragraph fill option. If you are highlighting specific words then use a shape that is set to yellow, with no strokes. Place it, set it so it covers your word and then once it covers the appropriate part of your text use the Arraange menu to send it to the back. To reselect it you will have to start your click-drag in a margin which does not have text in it.
You will also have to have to set the shape to be locked to the page. I would not do this if you are still editting your text. Do it towards the very end so you can be sure the text will not move away from the box which could happen if the flow of the text changes.
And, a third alternative, although it is more a smudge than anything, is to apply a shadow to the object. I would not suggest using Yellow, since it will blend too easily into the white of the paper. Try a blue, green or pink. Set the opacity to 100%, the offset to zero and the blur to about 10 or so. This will give a definite colored smudge around the word, pop it off the page, but it lacks the 'control' that a normal highlighter option would give you.
As a side note, you can save this as a character style to make it easier to use later. There is an arrow beside "Include all character attributes" Click on that and choose the most appropriate options (shadow, bold, italic, text color, etc) Call the new style "Highlight" if you like. With the blurring function the darker colors will be very muted and the lighter colors will most likely vanish.
I hope that helps.
Gerry.
(Note: the paragraph fill is sadly not an option for the character style. I guess that makes sense since it would be a character fill instead.)

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

How can I change the sms background colour?

There is no option to change the background color in the messages app, other than selecting settings>general>accessibility>invert colors, but this changes the colors of everything.

Indesign CS6 text drop shadow changes background colour

I have two layers, one for a background image linked to a photoshop document and another layer for text. When i add drop shadow to the text, the background colour goes sort of dark, and the same happens in overprint view whereas with 5.5 it didn't do that. Is there a way to fix this?

Looks like maybe an RGB image with a CMYK transparency blend space applied.

How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
You should provide feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

How to change the text color of a label by using RGB values without changing the background colour?

xCode interface builder:
When I try to change the color property of a label's text by using the RGB values, the background color also changes to the same value automatically.
in other words:
While setting the RGB values for text colour of labels, the background colour also changes unless we use the sliders.
How to make sure that only the color of text changes and not the background?

You can simply do this.
[labelname setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:38/255.0f green:171/255.0f blue:226/255.0f alpha:1.0f]];

RTF text with background colour - formatting lost in editable RTF export

Hi
I have designed a report in CR2008 using XSD datasource.
I have a field which returns a RTF text. The text comes out correctly when I run the report.
Scenario:
1.Background colour (eg Yellow) has been applied to the field
2.RTF text contains paragraph breaks
Result
The background appears for each paragraph and where there a para break, there is white space. In other words, I want the background colour to appear for the entire field. Right now, it appears odd because I have white spaces between each paragraph with the background colour for each paragraph
Example:
Text is as below (with RTF coding)
In a bad mood? Don't worry according to research, it's good for you.
An Australian psychology expert who has been studying emotions has found being grumpy makes us think more clearly.
In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision making and less gullible, his experiments showed.
While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine.
My export type is Editable RTF. The background colour is maintained when you choose Word for Windows option or PDF (but this is not what I want to use in the report). Can the background be maintained for Editable RTF? Is there a work around for this problem?
Thanks

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Global Background Colour with individual Overide Text Boxes

Hi I am looking to apply a global background colour using the details properties.
However I have individual text boxes that have their own background colour based on expressions that I want to overide the global details properites.
So I set up the global one with this expression
IIF(Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow","Transparent")
for the individual text box I used a nested IIF
=IIF(Fields!Bill_Rate.Value = 115,"Red",IIF(Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow","Transparent"))
This works but I'm wondering if their is a easier way so I don't have to have the 2nd clause.
Regards

Hi aivoryuk,
As per my understanding, I think the expression you post is simple way. If you don’t want to use IIF function, I suggest we can try to use switch function as below to achieve the similar requirement:
=Switch(Fields!Bill_Rate.Value = 115,"Red",Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Unselected Tab Text / background colour

Hi all,
I have a PS6.0 installation, using JSPTabContainer.
The docs tell me how to change the background colour for the selected tab, but not the unselected tab.
I assume it is a default value sourced from somewhere, but I don't know where.
Any hints?
(ps. I'm a little new to this)
- jd

/etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/JSPTabContainer/
The jsp templates in this folder will give you a clearer
picture of what is going on at the runtime...
For your problem see tab.jsp (and tabs.jsp )
