Background color in side panels
If you can see my page....
http://ericdelabarre.com/main.asp
you can see the right and left sides of my website are this blueish
color...and since I've just took over managing my site with
Dreamweaver, I can't find how to change that color....I think it's
an image, but can't find the image in my images folder. Any idea as
to how I change that to white?
Thanks,
Eric

Batch process background color either side of artwork image
I need to batch process the background color from several galleries from white to gray.
On this page - Simon Toparovsky - A Letter from The Renaissance - some of the images in the gallery have a white background on the left and right side of the artwork. There are hundreds of images that I need to apply this to.
Thanking you in advance for any insight into the process.Hi

Background color of front panel when printing
My vi has a control named "print" which allows the user to print the front panel during execution. The background color of the front panel is white, to avoid filling the printed page with any color. In labview 7.1 (and also 6.0), this worked perfectly. I recently updated to labview 8 and now the background color of the print is gray. Does anybody have any idea how to avoid this?
I am using the "print panel.vi" found in the "vi.lib\utility\printvi.llb". I also tried with the "Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi", with the same result. The same problem also occurs when exporting the front panel to a ".png" file.
Best regardsI tried with different colors, without any success.
I think that this is a bug ! Good catch !

Problem with changing background colors in JPanels
Hi,
I have made an applet with Grid Layout and I have added JPanels in each grid. I have assigned a background color to all panels.
Now what i am trying to do is, change the clicked JPanel's background color to "blue" on a mouse click and convert the previous changed JPanel's background to originally assigned color.
This is the code that I have used:
JPanel temp=null, m;
String tempc, m_color;
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
m=(JPanel)me.getComponent();
if(m!=temp)
m_color=m.getBackground().toString(); // retaining current background color so as to change later
m.setBackground(Color.blue);
if(temp!=null)
temp.setBackground(Color.getColor(tempc)); // change back to original color
tempc=m_color; //tempc and m_color are Strings
temp=m; //temp and m are JPanels
}When I am executing the above logic, background color changes to blue on a mouse click but the previously changed JPanel is not changing back to original color.
Can anyone please tell where is the above logic going wrong??
Thanks
RohanHi Camickr,
I tried to do it without changing Color to Strings but i was getting an error in the line temp.setBackground(Color.tempc);, so i decided to change it to String and retrieve it's value in the method.

Applet-Panel, background color and size problem
I am writing an applet with simple form.
Form is having 3 rows and 2 cols (label and textfield). Each row I want to display in different color. So I created each row with 2 separate panel (one for label and one for text field - of which I set the backgroung color).
The total form is in one panel with grid layout (2 colmns).
My problems are
1)The space between label and text field (col width) can not be resized. I tried to use setSize but not giving any effect.
2)Another problem is when I am seting the background color, the textfield is also changing the color (textfield I want to white color only). This does not have any effect on Choice
3)The first label I wanted to use simple break but could not. I tried \n\t, \n, chr(13) + chr(10) etc but not getting any result so created separate panel.
My code goes here:

Please help,
manishaI do not want to go into detail, but there are some hints you can follow.
I am talking about AWT, not swing, you should decide which one you will use and don't mix the two of them.
If you want to run your applet in current browsers without requiring the java plugin, you should be aware, that most browsers support old versions of java and many convenient methods and classes are missing :-(
So
You can change the size of a label by putting it in a panel ( labelPanel ), whose layout is set to FlowLayout. Then you put in labelPanel another empty panel ( emptyPanel ), whose layout is set to null, and you set the width of the empty panel to whatever you want ( this is the gap between the label and the next component ), an the height to the least nonsero number possible, i.e. 1. Well, you can add to the labelPanel more components, if you wish. So, when you want a gap, use an empty panel with a fixed size.
You cannot use line break in a label. You should place more labels in a panel instead. I am not sure if the direction of FlowLayout can be set to vertical, but very probably it can. If so, that is your solution. If not - see what other layout managers you have available, but make sure your choice belongs to java.awt ! BorderLayout allows you to use up to three labels (=> 3 lines). And if nothing fits your needs, ... write a layout manager.
Well, hope I could help. -

Override Panel background color
Hello
I am using an Adobe theme (GraphiteGraphical). It is a little too dark for my Panel containers. I would like to adjust the background color.
I am able to adjust the Application's background-Color in the CSS file like so:
s|Application {
padding-top: 10;
padding-bottom: 10;
padding-left: 10;
padding-right: 10;
vertical-gap: 4;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
I am unable to do this for my Panels. Why? And how can I accomplish this?
I need my Panel backgrounds to be the same as the Application's. Right now they are way too dark. Help?Hello
Thank you Subeesh!
I have tried this already, it was already in my styles.css file. It did not work. Also, I am not using spark panels but MX panels. Ive tried both, no luck.
I do not understand why only my Login screen changes background color when I change thr background color in the Application CSS tag, but nothing else does?
It is like the theme is overriding everything that is not Application CSS specific?
How can I modify the CSS definition for the Graphite theme? It's too dark and the end users are not happy. Help!
this does not work, the theme overrides this:
s|Panel
backgroundColor:#CCCCCC; -

Is it possible to change the properties of a front panel indicator such as background color or to change from enabled to disabled-grayed out programatically in response to limit conditions or a time-out?
"Disabled" means that the control/indicator will not respond to a user operation. However, the displayed data can still change. What you want to do can be easily achieved using a case structure : wire your boolean to the case input, and put your indicator in the "True" case condition. That way, it will be updated only when the digital input is set to true.

"lights out" effect on side panels?
On my system, "lights out" cycles the color of the background of the center panel, but has no effect on the appearance of the side panels. Is this normal behavior?
>On my system, "lights out" cycles the color of the background of the center panel, but has no effect on the appearance of the side panels. Is this normal behavior?
I've seen the same behavior on a dual-monitor configuration. Is that what you are running?
I run LR on my large display, with Windows desktop on a smaller display. I've seen some strange behavior that wasn't present in LR 1.0, but haven't had time to pin it all down yet. Regarding your question, if I move LR to the smaller display (i.e., like a one-monitor configuration) it works fine. Unfortunate....this all worked fine in LR 1.0. -
Alert Control - Background Color
Hi everybody,
I've been trying to change the background color of the Alert
Control.
The only thing that I got close to, what using the
myAlert.setStyle("backgroundColor",......). However, it only
changed the
inner background, not the background of the main Alert. Can
somebody point
me in the right direction?
Thanks,
JGWell, that was actually quite simple. I was exploring the
classes and their
parents, it was getting a little confusing. Then I started
inspecting the
Alert box created. I noticed I has getting 3 children being
created:
[INFO] Alert6.border (object):
[INFO] Alert6.UIComponent8 (object):
[INFO] Alert6.AlertForm14 (object):
so I started looking at the border class, then programmatic
skin etc... Long
story short, I went back to the doc on the Alert control,
there are actually
several styles related to border, it's quite misleading
because it actually
related to this 20 pixel edge around the content of the
alert. So with a
combination of border styles and background styles you can
actually get your
control to look the way you want. Here is my code:
var myAlert:Alert = Alert.show("An error occured while
loading from the
server.", "Error", Alert.YES, this);
myAlert.setStyle("borderColor", "#75734f");
myAlert.setStyle("backgroundColor", "#75734f");
And actually, from the doc:
BorderAlpha - Alpha of the title bar, control bar and sides
of the Panel.
just need to take time to read the doc sometimes.... ;-)

JButton background color question
Hi everybody,
I have a feeling I'm going to get slammed for this, but I have to ask a very general question and hope for an answer.
I have a JDialog on which buttons don't seem to hold their background color. That is, when I use setBackground, the only color change I get is a very thin outline of the color, and the rest of the button is white. The strange thing about the button is that the white center actually seems transparent--if I change the panel the button is on to another color besides white, the center of the button turns that color.
I've tried to solve this problem with setOpaque( true ), setContentAreaFilled( true ), setBackground( color ), setForeground( color ), and I'm pretty sure every combination of those.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this in a test case, so I can't give a SSCCE, although I've tried for a while now to make one.
So...has anyone ever run into a problem like this and can give me some advice? I'm sorry I can't be more specific, if anyone has a question I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks,
Jezzica85I have a feeling I'm going to get slammed for this, but I have to ask a very general question and hope for an answer.Why would people be harsh on you? The only risk you take is: vague question => vague answer (or random).
So...has anyone ever run into a problem like this and can give me some advice? I'm sorry I can't be more specific, if anyone has a question I'll do my best to answer.Never seen that myself, so I'll add a few random questions/thoughts:
I have a JDialog on which buttons don't seem to hold their background color. That is, when I use setBackground, the only color change I get is a very thin outline of the color, and the rest of the button is white.- are you using a custom JButton subclass? If yes are you certain the subclass does not override paintComponent()?
- If not, the button is painted by its ButtonUI. Can you tell which UI class is used (sysout(+theButton.getUI()+)?
The UI is set according to the LookAndFeel.
- Do you set any special LookAndFeel (+UIManager.setLookAndFeel(...)+, or look and feel's UIDefault properties in your app (generally that is done at startup)?
- If not, can you tell the current look and feel when you bring up the dialog (+UIManager.getLookAndFeel(...)+, although that can be inferred from the ButtonUI subclass' name.
I've tried to solve this problem with setOpaque( true ), setContentAreaFilled( true ), setBackground( color ), setForeground( color ), and I'm pretty sure every combination of those.FYI, the ButtonUI paints the button however it sees fit; in particular it doesn't have to respect the colors, opacity, filling... properties.
Eventually:
- are you using a custom JDialog subclass (probably, as that's generally how people write dialogs; not the best way IMHO, but there are cases where this is hard to avoid).
I see you can't provide an SSCCE right ow, but maybe you can try to narrow the list of suspects in your side?
- Do you reproduce the same problem at startup, if you bring the JDialog up as soon as possible?
- Do you reproduce the problem with a mere JOPtionpane.showMessageDialog(..., theButton,...)?
- Do you reproduce the problem outside of the JDialog context (I see you mention using a different JPanel, but is that in the dialog or somewhere else?
Good luck with your investigations.

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,
Nishanth.CIt 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.

Changing font and background color for all components
Hi,
This is my first time writing a GUI, and I'm pretty new to Swing and Java. I just recently switched from C++, and so far Java seems to be doing a nice job =)
Currently I have a gazilion components (textfields, labels, panels) and I'm wondering if there is a way to change their background/foreground colours without adding in setBackground/setForeground for every single component.
I've done some researching onto using Look and Feel, but there aren't any current ones that suits my needs. And everyone seems to mention that programming your own is pretty complicated.
My boss wants a slick white text on black background interface, so you can imagine that he's not very impressed with the current default greyish colours =)
Thank you for any help!
CindyHi Cindy,
I'm not sure how effective a solution this will be, but you could try:UIManager.put("TextField.background", Color.BLACK); // Default text field background becomes blackThere are many more defaults you'd have to change and could probably achieve it more reliably and simply by creating or editing the properties file that controls the way the look and feel (even if it's the default) is implemented. Take a look at:
