Background Colour Change in Windows IE6

Hi,
Have tried to sort this through a CSS forum, but am now
wondering if it's an application problem. I've got a web page with
the background colour set as #FEFFDE which is a very pale peach
kind of colour. I've created a graphic (from a photo) in Freehand
and given it the same background colour. They blend beautifully in
IE and Safari and Mac, but in Windows IE the background shows as a
different colour (pale yellow), although the graphic is fine. It
looks like the CSS is ok, but someone has pointed out thatn doing a
screen capture in irfanview from Opera on windows, the page
background has RGB values 254,255,222 while the background in the
outer parts of the spiral gif image is 251,251,225. Both have been
selected using the cross-application colour palette on my Mac which
still shows as #FEFFDE. Help! I'm pretty new at this so may be
missing something obvious, but would be grateful for advice.
Kind regards,
Steph (NZ)

The best way to do it, if you are using a JPG would be to
make a small
graphic from the background of the JPG image, and use that
graphic as a
tiling background to fill the page.

  • Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

    Hello,
    Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
    It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hey there,
    Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem?  I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player).  Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
    Thanks,
    Jen.

    Hi
    I am not sure, whether this will work in your case.
    Try the option to change background color via SAP GUI Logon...  Or using Settings in Web page...
    Otherwise, If this does not helps, then please consult with SAP by creating a Customer OSS message as well.

  • Why does my footer background colour change when adding a float to a DIV element?

    Bear with me as I am a student learning dreamweaver....
    I am trying to insert a series of 4 DIVs into a footer area with a black background. WHen I insert a float to constrain them to a horizontal position, the black background disappears and the body background shows through. A strip of the footer displays on top of the area where the DIVs are placed. The float works but the problem is with the background colour. It's almost as if the divs have been pushed down below the footer area. I have tried placing my cursor in several locations before inserting the float but it doesn't change anything.
    Can anyone help?

    It all depends on the code you're working with.   In the following example, I applied overflow:hidden to the <footer> element. 
    Copy & paste this code into a new, blank HTML page to see how it works.
    <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML5 Layout</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body {
        font: 100%/1.4 Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        background-color: #CCC;
        padding: 0;
        color: #000;
        width: 1000px;
        margin: 45px auto;
    header {width: 100%; display:block; background: #A5C9C9; min-height: 100px}
    section {width: 100%; display:block; background:#FFF; min-height: 300px}
    footer {width: 100%; display:block; background: #FF9; overflow:hidden;}
    aside {width: 22%; float:left; display:block; margin-right: 4%; background:#D8E9B6; min-height: 200px;}
    aside:last-child {margin-right:0}
    </style>
    </head>
    </body>
    <header>
    <h1>Content for header goes here</h1>
    </header>
    <section>Content for section goes here</section>
    <footer>
        <aside>aside 1</aside>
        <aside>aside 2</aside>
        <aside>aside 3</aside>

  • Background colour change

    How to change  a background colour leaving the two figures in the centre intact?

    Without seeing the image it's hard to make suggestions.  Even then, there will likely be a gazillion different ways of changing the color of the background.  Are you familiar with adjustment layers?  Masks? Making selections?  Layer blending modes?  I recommend searching around on the internet for some tutorials of these very basic Photoshop functions.  They're the foundation of everything you do in PS.
    It could be as easy as creating a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, moving the hue to something you like, then use the mask to remove what you don't want changed (sometimes it's easier to mask everything and then just add where you want the color changed on the mask).  For other changes you may get the results you want using a fill layer with a layer blending mode.

  • Change the background colour of windows system-wide? (non B/W)

    I have difficulty reading on a white background, but find the White on Black theme doesn't work for me either. The background colour which works best for me is #F9EEE2;. I can work for nearly twice as long in a window with that background colour.
    So I prefer apps which allow me to change the background colour of their windows (e.g. [PathFinder|http://www.cocoatech.com>, [iTerm|http://iterm.sourceforge.net>, [Journler|http://wiki.journler.com/index.php?title=Main_Page], [OmniOutliner|http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnioutliner>, [BBEdit|http://www.barebones.com/index.shtml], [TranslateIt|http://mac.gettranslateit.com>). I'll pay for this feature.
    However, I often don't have the choice. For example, [PoEdit|http://www.poedit.net/index.php] is the only OSX-native gettext .po editor (since Snow Leopard killed Cocoa-Java and thus [LocFactoryEditor|http://www.triplespin.com/en/products/locfactoryeditor.html]) , so I have to use it. I asked the developer if he could add a preference to change the background colour of the window (PoEdit is Carbon). He replied that this sort of preference should be system-wide, shouldn't it?
    From the Linux POV, yes, it should. Do we have that sort of option in OSX Snow Leopard? Previous OSX theme apps ShapeShifter and Mystique are respectively not yet compatible with OSX, and not available any more. I had a look at [ThemePark|http://www.geekspiff.com/software/themepark> (which does support 10.6), but don't know where to start in editing resource files. So what are our options for changing window background colour system-wide? (Or is there a Carbon plugin or library the PoEdit developer could use to embed that preference for his app.?)
    Thanks for any help you can offer with this.

    I asked a similar question before...as far as I know, there is no option to change this system-wide...short of creating a new color profile or using some hidden Terminal command.

  • Finder Window Background Colours

    I have recently upgraded my old PowerBook G4 to a MacBook 2Ghz - Black.
    Setting all my preferences finder window background colours, icon sizes etc for all windows is fine.
    I have copied all my image files from the PowerBook to the MacBook, but when I increase the icon sizes for a particular window (selecting this window only) to view image thumbnails better the background colour changes to a bright orange or purple at the same time.
    Does anyone have any idea's, I have thought about re-installing OS X again and starting from scratch, but this can't be needed with a Mac can it????????
    Thanks
    Chris

    I can suggest two solutions:
    1) You delete all .DS_Store files from the offending folders. The files are invisible so it is a bit of a chore.
    Paste this Applescript in Script Editor and run it, then select your folder to remove all the invisible files I mentioned.
    set mountedDisk to POSIX path of (choose folder)
    tell application "Terminal"
    if (count of windows) is 0 then do script ""
    delay 0.1
    do script "find " & quoted form of mountedDisk & ¬
    " -name .DS_Store -delete" in front window
    end tell
    2) Make a new folder and move all your files to that folder.

  • Changing the colour of the window title

    Hi guys, just a quick question, is it possible to change the background colour of the window title bar and if so where is it. Is it in the properties of the window or so?
    Just currently the text at the top of my window is barely visible because the background is a dark colour also
    Thanks.

    When you run the application it uses your operating system colours for the window title.

  • Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

    I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

    Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

  • Background colour on pages

    Please can you help, I used to set the background colour on my windows so didnt get white glare..and so no visual migraines, but I don't know how to sort the apple..is it not possible to set a background colour that only shows on screen but doesn't send or print with that colour? Many thanks C

    You can dim your monitor to comfortable levels in your System Preferences. Particularly on the new LED screens which dim down to extremely low levels.
    However I think you are more likely to develop headaches trying to read content with too little lack of contrast than too much. As for coloring the background, readability studies show black and white is by far the best for readabilty.
    But then there is no end to the crazy illogical excuses people will come up with for doing the oddball things they do.

  • ITunes 11 how can the window background colour be changed from white to black in Grid View?

    How do I change the window background colour ,in Grid View, from the new, default, white back to the good old, more easy on the eye, black?
    Apple did this to us in iPhoto some time ago and had to add a preference for shades of grey other than white. Why didn't Apple learn from this mistake?

    It is good to know I am not alone. The first thing I did after downloading iTunes 11 was go into preferences to change the background color. But alas, the option for a dark background is gone. I also was kind of disappointed in the lack of ability to resize the artwork, but not to the extent of some other commenters here.
    I will say this though. I love the way the albums expand with custom colored backgrounds based on each album's artwork colors. This looks fantastic. Still it would be nice to accomodate those who prefer to use a dark background for the overall application's theme.
    So, Apple, I join with my fellow users in requesting the return of resizable artwork, and the option for at least a dark (or an even further customizable) background color for the overall theme of the application. Thanks!
    Godspeed,
