Alternate line background color

Hi All -
In CR2008, how would I go about making it so each line of a report alternates background color? So say, odd rows have a background of gray and even rows have a background of white?
Thanks!

Enter the following expression into the background color of the detail section:
IF Remainder(recordnumber, 2) = 0 Then RGB(230,230,230)

Setting a line background color in a GridBagLayout

I have a Gridbaglayout where I'm adding objects a runtime. I need to be able to set the background color for the line to red on a specific event. I can set the labels etc for the line but the spaces between them stay grey.
// code in loop to add components
dataPanel.add(lblProg, new GridBagConstraints(0, i+2, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, GridBagConstraints.WEST, GridBagConstraints.NONE, new Insets(0, 20, 5, 10), 10, 10));
dataPanel.add(lblRetry[i], new GridBagConstraints(1, i+2, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, GridBagConstraints.WEST, GridBagConstraints.NONE, new Insets(0, 10, 5, 10), 10, 10));
//etc for other components
// code to set color in diff method
lblProg[i].setBackground(Color.red);
lblProg[i].setOpaque(true);
// do this for all components.....
Is it possible to set the full line backcolor??

The components are on panel with layout of GridBagLayout. I can set the colors for the Labels etc, but the remainder of the panel for the Gridbaglayout GRIDY location background color is still grey, so I end up with red background labels, but with grey gaps between them.

Highlight colors change (invert) on some backgrounds, i can make it back by changing use system colors and or background color, i would like to knoe if there is a setting to stop the change ?

i set my highlight colors to yellow background and black foreground in windows , it uses the same colors in firefox except as i highlight over some colors the foreground and background colors invert yellow on black , if there is a setting (or one can be added) in about:config to make the highlight always stay as yellow back and black foreground ? , im not sure if it is done within firefox though or if it is win xp but itcan be changed inside firefox about:config with browser.display.use_system_colors and/or browser.display.background_color .

that sort of makes sense but when you look at youtube messages , each alternate line is a very pale blue and when highlighted each alternate line the color is switched , this also happens on all web pages with simuler shading (not just pale blue) .
about the purple highlighting , ive never seen that , i have firefox on 2 PCs , a laptop and a notepad and they all use the colors set in win xp for highlight , even when use system colors is set to false , all that happens then is they swap about (invert) agen , i some times have to switch browser background color as well . sorry for being repetetive , im just trying to be clear , i have tried fine tuning BG color but on some pages just 1 single number away from white makes the switch,on other pages you can go nearly all the way to black befor it switches .ive just seen add images , ill send some pics to show what im trying to say .

Can the current line be highlighted using a background color or have the cursor flash?

I use the split screen and left click in the Design pane to jump to where I want to be in the Code pane in Dreamweaver CS6. The problem is that it can be very hard to tell where the cursor is in the Code pane since the cursor doesn't flash.
Is there a way to force Dreamweaver CS6 to change the background color of the currently selected line or at least have the cursor flash in both panes? There must be some way to make it easier to find the current line of code.
Thanks.

The cursor does not flash in Code View only when Code View is not in focus i.e. you're working in the Design View window in Split View.
In those caases, I just highlight a word or two in Design View and the corresponding words are highlighted by DW in Code View (even when Code view is not in focus).
Thanks. I've been doing that, but sometimes there is no text to highlight. I hoped Dreamweaver might have a hidden setting that I could enable. That's a lot of extra sliding of the hand/wrist for no good reason when it would be easy for the Dreamweaver programmers to change the background color of the current line or make the cursor flash or do something else to indicate where you are in the code besides making the user constantly make a smearing action with the mouse. All of those extra movements add up the wear and tear when you're trying to avoid getting a repetitive stress injury, especially if you already use mouse gestures in a browser.

Blocks/lines of background color show through embedded SWF

When I place a swf object in Muse, I've found that blocks and lines of the background color will appear and disappear around the edges of animated elements. I've confirmed this is not an issue with the SWF as they play normally if embedded using dreamweaver or exported with an html wrapper from flash. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this, as I have a much easier time arranging page elements in Muse instead of Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Chris

Change background color of a selected line of text in textfield

I have a list of items in a dynamic text field. When a line is clicked I would like to highlight it, or change the background color. Any ideas?

By default, the generated application uses the oracle skin family. This skin generates the buttons as images with rounded edges so you cannot change the background color. If you change the skin-family to "minimal" in the adf-faces-config.xml, then you can change the background color of the buttons by adding a property like this to the button template:
inlineStyle="background-color:red;"
However, a cleaner way to do this, is by creating a custom skin, so you do not have to modify the generator templates at all. See the following link for more info on ADF Faces skinning:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
In addition, using the Check for Updates feature in JDeveloper, you can install additional sample skins.

How do I change the white background color in a b/w line drawing jpg?

How do I change the white background color in a b/w line drawing jpg?

Just put a Solid Color Layer atop it and set it to Blend Mode Multiply or
• load the Channel with the best contrast (cmd-click it in the Channels Panel)
• invert Selection (cmd-I)
• create a black Solid Color Layer
• put whatever below that Layer

Changing the background color of the row of the selected cell in table view

How can I change the background color of the table row when user clicks on table cell in table view?
Edited by: a_brar on May 5, 2012 11:12 PM

You could apply the following css style (by defining a custom stylsheet with the following lines and loading it into your app).
The last color sets the background color of the selected row while the table-view has focus (in this case to orange).
.table-view:focused .table-row-cell:filled:focused:selected {
-fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-cell-focus-inner-border, orange;
}There are quite a lot of subtleties in the css styling for the tableview (e.g. different colors for the selected row when the control has focus vs when it doesn't or when the user hovers over a selected row in an unfocussed tableview), which you may want to cater for when chaning the background color of the selected row in a table view. There is also alternate styling for when the tableview is in row selection vs cell selection mode. So you may want to look at customizing further based on the css styles in caspian.css in sdk/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar if you can understand the complex css there.

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

<p class="c3"><strong class="c2">Using Octenol to Attract Mosquitoes<br /></strong><br /></p>
<p class="c3">Octenol is an natural chemical that occurs naturally as a by-product of plants and some animals that eat a lot of vegetable produce. If carbon dioxide is mixed with octenol, it has been found to be an attractant to several mosquito species. There are other insects such as no-see-ums and biting midges that are also attracted to this scent. It has been proven to be a very effective product, especially for no-see-ums.<br />
<br />
<img src="images/12137165-cartoon-stop-mosquito.jpg" width="168" height="168" alt="mosquito" /><br />
<br />
Octenol is also a pesticide ingredient that is used to attract mosquitoes and biting flies. It does not kill the insects; it only attracts them. It can be used in combination with other products and devices that do kill them once they are successfully attracted to the device. It is important to be aware that non-pest insects are also attracted and destroyed by some of the devices.<br />
<br />
If octenol is ingested, there is a possibility for toxicity. It is not, however, harmful in the air to humans, pets, or the environment. It is vitally important that it is kept safely away from children to avoid the possibility of ingesting. Placement of the attractant and device utilized to catch biting insects should be carefully considered. It should be kept safely away from children and pets.<br /></p>
<p class="c3">To be most effective in mosquito control, the attractant should be placed between the breeding grounds of the mosquito and the area where the people are located. There are range limits that the attractant will reach and this needs to be considered in the placement of the trap as well.<br /></p>

How to set background color for a JFrame

Hi,
i am new to swing programming. I have created a JFrame called framehelp and i placed some labels in the frame.
I have set the background color as yellow for the frame ie by setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 204));
But after compiling the program i am still getting the background color of frame as gray.
How can i change the background color of frame as lightish yellow.
I have used NETBEANS to generate this code and i am posting the code..
Kindly help me
Thanks in adavance

1. When you post code, post a minimal example. Did we have to scroll through
all those bloody labels.
2. Can't say much for the quality of code NetBeans generates.
3. To answer your question (sorry, I don't have an autographed copy of the photo):
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {

        cp.setBackground(new Color(0xff, 0xff, 0xee));
        cp.add(new JLabel("set the color on the content pane, not the frame"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

Right way to change datagrid row, column, cells background colors in code-behind?

Hi all,
I have a winform program that I'm upgrading to wpf (I'm new to wpf). The wpf code for the function (SetdataGridBackgroundColors()) is below with the winform code commented out so I can fix it. I have a datagrid with a Cornsilk background color alteranating
with LightGreen depending on the content of datetime cell. If the day portion of the datetime is different then the color changes from one to the other. I used a colorIndex variable because at the end of the month it could go from 31 to 1 and that would
not work if I use the day directly.
I tried this line to change the background color:
optionsDataDatagrid.RowBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
this works but it changes every row. I found this other stuff:
DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) as DataGridRow;
//DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i]) as DataGridRow;
currentRowColor.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
Either ContainerFromIndex or ContainerFromItem throw an exception because currentRowColor is null. I looked at optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i] and is not null. Then I read that using ItemContainerGenerator is not a good idea.
BTW I'm calling SetdataGridBackgroundColors() after datagrid is been filled with data.
So... what is the proper way to set each row, column or cell background color in wpf?
Thanks
private void SetdataGridBackgroundColors()
optionRowData rowData = new optionRowData();
if (optionsDataDatagrid.Items.Count == 0)
return;
int colorIndex = 1;
DateTime savedDate, currentRowDate;
rowData = optionsDataDatagrid.Items[0] as optionRowData;

I (also) strongly recommend mvvm.
Setting values is a particularly bad idea in this case.
I don't mean to be rude but your explanation of the requirement is kind of vague.
I would bind solidcolourbrushes.
Set the properties based on whatever your logic is within the viewmodel.
You can switch out what each of the brushes holds when the user clicks wherever.
So you use a highlightbrush when something or other is true.
That highlightbrush is set to a blue brush when the user clicks left and a red brush when they click right.

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?

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.

Change the background color of a table created by ADDT (Login)

I am trying to change the background color of a table in the login form created by the developer's toolbox. I then go and select the table and change the background color. But it has no effect. The only insight I have is when I delete this "" from the Action in the form, then the table's background color changes. As far as I can tell this line of code is only return the url of the page.
I am not understanding something.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks!

the table is linked using a CSS rule..
the CSS rules comes from something called Skins..
see mxkollection2.css.
KT_XXX are the class ID's for table names.
if u change this rule it will effect all the tables which use that rule in ur whole website.
u can try switching skins from ADDT control panel.
KT_tngtable is the tables css rule name defined in skins /Skinname/tng.css
hope this helps u ..

How to change background color in iWeb Header?

I cannot change Header background color nor make it smaller. I've gone into Inspector and zeroed out Header height, nothing changed. Color is problem.

That the Fine Line theme, correct? Try this: delete the shape that's above the navbar. Move the navbar down till you get the right amount of white space above it. Then use the following code in an HTML snippet to change the navbar background to white:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
</script>
Change #5D68C3 to #FFFFFF for a white background. You could try setting backgroundColor = "#5D68C3" to backgroundColor = "" for a transparent background (not sure of this but worth a try).
