Background color in a box

I am playing with creating a single row table that has two columns. The first column has no background color. Elsewhere in the ID file, I have a text box that has a gray background applied to it. I want to apply this gray background to the second column. It has to be the exact same gray background.
How do I find the RGB for the gray in the text box so I can set it within the cell properties of the cell within the table?

Never mind. I just found my answer. It’s on Table è Cell Options è Strokes and Fills. It’s in the Cell Fill section.

Post-Block Trigger::
Set_Block_Property(:system.CURRENT_BLOCK,current_record_attribute,'GP_V_WHITE');
My question is I never want to change the background color of check box.How to do it.

How can I change the background color in text box using RGB format

Can some one tell me if Mac Pages (version 5.0) allows users to customize the background color of a text box using RGB color format? It appears that the text color can be changed using RGB but background color is limited to a few standard colors. Thanks

They are just sample swatches, use the Color Picker to choose anything you want.

I have a really easy solution to this, I just tried it out and it worked perfectly. You cannot set the background to the box, but you can set it to the frame(this), and panels. so why dont you do the following:
1)just create a panel
2)add the "Box" that you have to the panel
3) set the background of the panel
it works good for me

What is the technique for background color to text box?

I expected that I could fill the background of a text box but
I can't see any way to make the fill.
Using the fill tool only effects the text,not its background.
Perhaps I'm missing something in which case I'd appreciate a
direct to the place in the help where this is described.
Otherwise the implication is that you have to place a filled
object behind the text, is that correct?
Thanks

"Otherwise the implication is that you have to place a filled

This seems to be the approach to be followed.

How can I change background color in parameter box

Hi all,
I would like to change back ground color of parameters box from blue to other color.
where i have change?
see attached screenshot.
please help me
Thanks in advance for your support

Hello,
I don't think this is documented in BIP's manuals.
All you will find regarding "changing the colour" is related to conditional formatting
see section 3.8.3.5 About Conditional Formats from Fusion Middleware Report Designer's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e22254/create_lay_tmpl.htm#cond_format
If you open a service request to support we can open an enhancement request with Development.
If this will be approved, you can have this option implemented in future versions.

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
Thanks

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

Change background color of textbox based on non-visible value

Hello,
I have a 10g master - detail form. I was wondering how can I change background color of text box (NAME) based on non-visivle item (MODIFIED_BY) value.
So far, I have created two visual attributes and have put following code on "WHEN_NEW_BLOCK_INSTANCE" trigger
if( :main.MODIFIED_BY = 'COCO') then
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('main.NAME',VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_BLUE');
else
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('main.NAME',VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_RED');
end if;
     But, it always goes to "ELSE" part and make RED color for all records. Could you please help me with this?
Thanks.

Got it.
Post Query trigger on block
     if (:main.MODIFIED_BY ='COCO') then
          set_item_instance_property('main.NAME',current_record,visual_attribute,'VA_BLUE');
     else
          set_item_instance_property('main.NAME',current_record,visual_attribute,'VA_RED');
     end if;Thanks

How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

Hello All,
I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
Ahh, onward!

My screen background color is off-white & this color comes through on the print page. Page Setup/Print Background is set off. How do I fix this? Problem first popped up with version 6, still there with version 8.0.1

File/Page Setup/Format & Options/Options/Print Background (colors & images): Check box set off.
This setting does not work as my screen background color still comes through on the print preview & the print page.
Is this because the newer Firefox versions have blocked my graphics driver version?

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683139 Bug 683139] – Using the 'High Contrast Black' 'Accessibility Option' in Win XP results in the screen colours being printed.

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

Hi Lainey.
Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
Let us know if we can help further,
