Background color transparency?

Am I correct that at this time with CSS it is not possible to
assign degrees or % of transparency after you have selected a bkgd
color? It either has a color with no transparency or it is
completely transparent, right?

see the following two article/tutorials. They will tell you
everything you
need to know on CSS opacity, and how to implement it in
current browsers.

Background-color:transparent !important; is not working in IE

Hi,
In my sharepoint site i have used "background-color:transparent !important;" css. It is not working in IE but in Mozilla is working fine.
And I am using IE 11. Please let me know is there any thing wrong in the syntax. If that is the case please provide me correct solution for that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Saya

Thank you for your reply.
I have checked given links. Those are not use for this issue.
Actually in my sharepoint site the same code "background-color:transparent
!important;" was working fine before installing sharepoint 2010 service pack 2. After installation we got this issue. And if i change "transparent"
with any color, it is applying that color. Only "transparent"
background css is not working in IE.

I was having the same problem with a Tree Component. Just
yesterday I found some code to let me do this. Where
tabs.menuContent is the path to my Tree, or your List
var mc = tabs.menuContent;
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.backgroundColor = undefined;
mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.drawRowFill
= function(mc:MovieClip, newClr:Number):Void {
mc.clear();
if (newClr == undefined) {
mc.beginFill(0xABCDEF, 0);
} else {
mc.beginFill(newClr);
mc.drawRect(1, 0, this.__width, this.__height);
mc.endFill();
mc._width = this.__width;
mc._height = this.__height;
tabs.menuContent.border_mc._alpha = 0;

Textarea ... background-color:transparent causing problem in IE7

hello;
when I use <textarea style="background-color:transparent " > IE7 does not accept input ... other browsers work fine;
is there a way to get a transparent background for a textarea such that the textarea functions correctly in IE7 ( I haven't tested it in IE8 )?
thanks,
Shannon

What happens if you remove the background tag altogether?
I do this with my overflow css for text boxes and it leaves them transparent (as in: showing the page background) in Firefox, Safari Opera and IE 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Transparent spry menu that has a background color on sub menus and a few other problems(Please Help)

Hi im a noob at dream weaver and i've been trying to create a menu and i have been having problems with this menu bar i don't know what to upload and i have made a topic about this before but i only got one reply and so i am trying to make my menu bar transparent and then the sub menu's colored with the color code #1A1A1A and the menu bars that have been color background are only the sub sub menu bars if you know what i mean and also my other problem is the spacing i have between each option is really uneven is there a way to make them evenly sperated apart from each other rather than just the size of a "box" that the text is in.

Datagrid: Can I set a tranparency level for column background color?

Hi all,
I have a datagrid with background colors set using triggers. This works. I would like to set a column background color but I don't want to make the color solid because it will block the row color. Is there a way to set the column background color transparency
to 50% (or less) so that I can still see (or blend) with the row background color? I can set the "background" property of the column to a value of "transparent" but this makes no sense without a color.
Thanks

Background is a brush.
You can define a brush with an opacity in a resourcedictionary merged in app.xaml or in your window.resources ( etc ).
<Grid.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TransparentIshBrush" Color="Red" Opacity=".3" />
</Grid.Resources>
I should think you can then do:
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding col_oBid, StringFormat=F2}" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="12" Header="oB" >
<DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource TransparentIshBrush}" />
</Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
The problem with your former piece of code is that setting an opacity on a datagridcell gets everything in it. You would have to do
<Setter Property="(BackGround.Opacity)"
And I'm rather doubtful that would work anyhow.

Background color on Safari

I need to have a clear (tranparent) background so that the background image shows through. Everything I read says the default background color is transparent (which I thought). All is fine on IE and Firefox. However, on Safari the background is white. Adding background-color: transparent; does not help either, it stays white. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Toby
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Open System Preferences via the Apple Menu in the upper left corner of your screen. Go to "Universal Access">Seeing. There, change the display setting from "black on white" to "white on black". This affects all applications and panels. There, you can also "increase the contrast" to suit your viewing requirements.

JTextComponent - setEditable background color

I have a subclass of JTextField. I am doing manipulations of the background color (red when validation failed). When the program sets the text field to be not editable I want the default disabled background color (transparent?) to be displayed.
However, in some cases I am getting a background of white when it is disabled.
What is setEditable doing to change the background from white to grey? If I have the background color set to RED how do I change it so that grey will be shown?
Thanks,
John

I am trying to understand what setEditable does WRT the background color / transpanency. In the below code, when you press the button the first time, the background of the textfield becomes grey. If you press it again it becomes white. Is this because setEditable doesn't do anything if the field is already editable?

Spry Menubar background color help?

How does one go about making the background color of your submenus different from the main menu bar?
Here's a site I have found with basically the submenu I want, notice the submenus have a background color and the menubar has a background image.

Thank you!

Have a look at the following where I have used an untouched SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css

Mx|Tree disable hover, selection and background color

Hello.
I would like to know how can i disable the dhover, selection and background color.
i don't need selection at all so if i can just disable the selection in a tree component (plus make the background color transparent) it would be great.
thanks

Use Tree's "selectable" property and "backgroundAlpha" style.

Can I change the background color of a video thumbnail to view a silhouettes transparancy in Bridge

I see this question asked a ton on here, and never EVER am I finding an answer. I know in the past (Adobe CS 5) in Bridge you could view the transparency of a black silhouette image against a medium grey so you could see the content of the clip. Adobe changed that with CS 5.5 & on, and never seems to want to answer question when we members ask. PLEASE ADOBE ANSWER!!
How can I view a black silhouette image in Bridge when Adobe had decided to make the transparency black instead of grey? (Ideally the transparency of a video file should show as a grid as it does in ALL OTHER Adobe products.
PLEASE HELP. We use bridge heavily in production to organize our assets, and this change not being addressed kills our asset searching time because we have to open each clip to view it, rather than being able to preview it, which is what the Bridge is for.
Thanks.
P.S. Do not tell me how to change the programs background color as this is not the question. The question is how do I change the color of the transparency display for video clips.

Hi Peter
The associated FCM file provides us a clue as to Captivate's
pedigree. What we know today as Captivate is a product that was
born into the world and dubbed "FlashCam". This file contains
information about margins. So FCM means, FlashCam Margins.
If all you are doing is adjusting the colors a bit, you may
copy the associated files to new names. Then modify the colors as
desired and all should be well.
Cheers... Rick

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

Need transparent background color in Spry Menu Bar

Tried every possible combination.
Built a 150x1000 px header in Illustrator with a 20x1000 px rectangle at the bottom for the nav bar, set as a background image in the header within Dreamweaver.
Can not make a transparent (no color) background within Spry Menu Bar: MenuBar1??
Also, my first nav is 'Welcome' that <li></li> is about 6-8 px higher then the rest of the nav bar??
Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks

Have you tried changing the value of the Background colour in your CSS:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    cursor: pointer;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
    padding-right: 2px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    display: block;
    background-color: #223F9A;

Weird connection "background color of subdiagram label" & "use transparent name labels"

I stumbled upon the following side effect in LabVIEW 2013:
1) Turn off the option "use transparent name labels" in blockdiagram options.
2) now create a while loop
3) show the subdiagram label of the while loop
Because of the changes already discussed here you end up with a WHITE text label on WHITE background.
Maybe I'm "old school" because up to now I liked turning off the "transparent name label" (resulting in labels with a black frame), but a resulting white text on white background on the while loop makes this option now virtually meaningless (I know about the workarounds mentioned in the link above).
Anyway my question:
Why does this connection between the color of the subdiagram label and the option "use transparent name label" exist at all?
Regards, Jens

I tried all the settings you said in your last post, and I made a screenshot as a "summary" (I attached it to this post).
The changes at "label" when you disable the transparent name labels are in my opinion understandable. But the fact that for "subdiagram label" the background color becomes white and the font color stays white is not understandable to me.
I think it is a bug, and i will clarify how to proceed further.

Hi Julia,
that's is exactly what I meant. There shouldn't be any connection between the colors used for the subdiagram labels and the settings for name labels, as the subdiagram labels only make sense with the default settings. Thanks for creating a CAR. Please have a look, that this problem exists in LabVIEW 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is not as annoying in 2012 as the default color for the text in while loop subdiagram label is still black.
Regards, Jens
