Adding a tiled background/ w/layout grid

Is this possible? I want to use a simple .gif image to cover the wide expanse so not matter how wide the window is dragged the same colour (or tile ) is there.
I tried using background colour/ background image which is fine if you have a big fat grid but it will only continue to the expanse of the grid.....Thanks

You can set the bg color of the entire page in the Page Properties. Click the little page icon in the upper right of the pages window.
I may not understand your question though...

  • Create repeating / tiled background images

    I may have missed this in the previous versions of Adobe Photoshop.
    Is there "a way / or method" to create repeating / tiled background images in photoshop?
    Many times a "tile" for a tiled background is quite small at around 150px x 150px.
    1:
    It would be very nice to be able to work on the tile, be able to zoom in and out of it, and actively see a functioning live tiled background.
    Yes it might be a bit like a kaleidescope, but it would be live and you would see any harshness in the pattern and can remedy glitches it in real time.
    2:
    It would also be very nice to be able to "draw / paint / edit" off the edge of the tile and have the effect carried over to the other side...
    Yes just like in Asteroids.
    I think creating Tiled BG's is a very strong contender for being one of the more frustrating things I do with Photoshop. I hope the above ideas can be added to PS6.
    Just to you you know... DPaint IV for the Amiga did this very well back in 1990'ish.

    There will not be any substantial changes to CS6 to add new features beyond the beta. We are too far along in the process for that. To accomplish what you desire, can you use the pattern feature to tile?  For any new features you wish to request, you can to to this website  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family  people can vote on the favorite features.
    Pattie
    Use the Rectangle Marquee tool on any open image to select an area to use as a pattern. Feather must be set to 0 pixels. Note that large images may become unwieldy.
    Choose Edit > Define Pattern.
    Enter a name for the pattern in the Pattern Name dialog box.

  • How do I change background shade of grid-view in iTunes 11?

    I've just downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and can't seem to find a way to alter the background colour of grid view. It's bright white or bright white! No options to tone it down to grey or black. Help!

    Looks like they removed that option
    I was a little worried they would actually, I have no idea why they sometimes remove cool features on updates.
    Keep your eye out, someone will probably find a way to hack it back to grey.

  • How to specify "Layout Grid" or "Margin/Column" for a new doc in the Japanese version

    I am using the Japanese version of InDesign CS2.
    When you open a new document in the Japanese version,
    you can specify what kind of layout grid to use
    "Layout Grid" (traditional Japanese layout) or
    "Margin/Column" (normal English layout).
    How do you specify this in scripting?

  • Problems with moving pictures on a layout grid

    Hello,
    currently I am switching from windows golive5 to mac os x golive 9.
    In my "older" version I could move pictures on a layout grid by using the arrow keys (klick on right arrow one time moved the picture one step right...)
    In my new Version this function is just working on pictures without a border.
    If there is a border (HTML border=...) around the picture the picture is scaling bigger an bigger by using any arrow key.
    So my only chance to move these pictures on the grid is by mouse or remove the border, move them by the arrow keys, and recreate the border...
    Even the manual input of the grid position (using Y=50 X=50) by clicking on these arrows or input the numbers directly in the toolbar is scaling the picture.
    Is this a bug? Can I do anything to work like in GoLive 9, just moving every Object by arrow keys?
    Thank you in advance!
    Nic

    Wow, looks like a bug to me! The image enlarges by the combined values of the border whenever it is shifted - with the nudge arrows or not - and that can only be called a bug. I'd just uncheck the border button in the Inspector, move the image and then turn on the border again.
    I can't find the bug report page on Adobe.com for the life of me right now. Does anyone know where it has gone?

  • Text within textframe disappearing once placing tiled background

    Hello,
    I'm new with the creative suite and trying to navigate and learn!  Super steep learning curve..
    Here's my issue:  The text within my text frames in InDesign disappears when I place a tiled background I created in photoshop.  I've put the background .psd file in the bottom-most layer, tried sending it back, but for some reason, text in higher layers just keep disappearing.  Images will show up, but never text.
    Any help with this issue?  And I apologize in advance if this has already been answered somewhere in the forum. 
    Many thanks!

    Sounds like you have text wrap applied to the background image. Either turn it off, or set the text frame options to "ignore Text Wrap"

  • Template Problem: Tiling background image gone and duplicate .swf headers

    Problem 1: I have been working with a template, and creating
    new files from the template without incident. Recently I created a
    new file from the template and found that the tiling background
    image (dots appearing on the right and left of the page) was gone.
    The tiling image is present in the template, but not in files
    created from it. Any guess how I broke that?
    Problem 2: In my template I have an editable region wherein I
    can place a .swf animation. When I upload my page made from the
    template, a pair of .swfs appear stacked on top of each other, not
    just the single .swf graphic. Any guess what I am doing wrong
    there?
    The problem page can be viewed here (

    This will ALWAYS happen when one of the following obtains:
    1. The linked file is OUTSIDE the root of the current site.
    2. DW *THINKS* that the linked file is OUTSIDE the root of
    the current site
    (how could this happen? Here's a for example - the path to
    the root folder
    looks like this -
    C:\whatever\joe's files\blah blah blah\thefilename.jpg
    Fix either of those issues, and the problem will go away.
    Might that be your problem?

  • Flash tiled background

    Hi im trying to achieve a seamless tiled background that animates. www.efficient-heat.net
    I have created an animation in flash and have saved this out as a gif . I have then attached this gif to the body backgrouund :
    body {
    background:#E1E1E1 url(../images/windmills.gif) repeat scroll center top;
    font-family:"Lucida Grande",Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,serif;
    font-size:0.8em;
    line-height:1.5em;
    margin:0;
    text-align:justify;
    However im not happy witth the results,  seams show and the animation is choppy.
    How can I  achieve the same tiled animated background but with higher quality  ?
    Can I tile a swf file ?
    Thanks

    Hi Ive found that if I remove the gradients from the animation I can achieve cleaner results.
    The tiling of the animated gif has given acceptable results.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Layout grid

    Hi - Go Live user in peace!
    As a relative newbie the layout grid feature in GL is really
    useful but seems to be dismissed by the DW community. Is there
    anything similar in DW or do I have to get my head around CSS
    positioning or do everythnig in nested tables.
    the only other thread I found about this suggests that the GL
    layout grid feature just adds lots of superfluous code.
    Can anyone shed any light on the matter - since I suspect GL
    is going to fade away I'm looking to start using DW and this is a
    major difference (just about everything else seems pretty similar -
    although the GL UI is something I've grown accustomed to)
    Thanks

    That's what you have to do. The end result is the same, but
    you will wind
    up understanding much more about HTML page construction. Use
    tables first,
    until you understand them well, and then move on to CSS.
    Don't try to do
    both at the same time or you'll hurt yourself!
    > the only other thread I found about this suggests that

    It does not. But it uses tables in a way that is similar to
    how Fireworks
    uses them when you export a sliced image to HTML. The tables
    are bulky, and
    fragile. If you use the Grid in GL, that's what you get. It's
    definitely
    not how an experienced user would build the same page.
    > Can anyone shed any light on the matter
    Even with GL, the more you know about HTML and CSS, the
    easier your learning
    curve will be.

    I've read the API.
    But the thing that confuses me is the uploading of images. I can't figure out how by uploading different images can the code recognize which one would go into the tile.
    -I know in the api it shows different numbers to display each tile used with a specified image. But I can't figure out how to code it.
    Here's my attempt
    private void buildBackground() throws IOException
            Graphics g = getGraphics();
            Image tileImageOne;
            Image tileImageTwo;
            Image tileImageThree;
            Image tileImageFour;
            TiledLayer tiles;
            TiledLayer tiles2;
            try
                tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png");
                tileImageTwo = Image.createImage("/tile_2.png");
                tiles2 = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageTwo, 20, 20);
                tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);
                int[] grid={
                    0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

  • JTable size problems due to layout/grid...how can I fix?

    This is my code. When the button "Modify Entries" is pressed, it shows a JTable that imports a file called, "entries.data". The items in this file can be read and saved using this program. The problem is that the table is so small when it first opens. How can I set all my buttons to the very bottom of the form and make the table take up more space at the top? It looks to me as if this layout is treating it with the same dimensions as the buttons'.

    }Hey, and if anyone knows how to get the first column's numbers from the file to show up in descending order (1 through to, say, 500), please let me know.
    Thank you for any help.

    It looks to me as if this layout is treating it with the same dimensions as the buttons'.Thats the way a GridLayout works.
    Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers. You can mix an match individual Layout Managers to get the effect desired.
    I would suggest you need to change your design. Your code for continually removing and adding components is not the best design. You should probably have a panel with all your buttons. Then you would have different panels for each of your sub functions. The display of these panels would be controlled by a Card Layout. The tutorial has working examples of this.
    You can't use a Properties file to save data from the table (at least not the way you are attempting to use it). I gave you a solution in your last posting.
