Background colour of floating image changed to blue.

I have an image open in Photoshop, rulers visible on 2 sides. I pulled out the bottom right hand side (as I look at the screen) to have the image float in the background. Normally my background is grey, but suddenly it's turned to blue. Horrid! Distracting! No idea how this happened - what I unknowingly hit - but neither can I work out how to return to grey. Any help out there?

If your using a recent version of photoshop, then right clicking on the blue area should bring up a menu to select another color.

Is it possible to have the background colour of a field change based on the entry?

I previously obtained help from a user here to create a script that autopopulates a field based on options selected in two sets of radio buttons:
var consequence = this.getField("Consequence").valueAsString;
var likelihood = this.getField("Likelihood").valueAsString;
if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Extreme";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";
// etc.
else event.value = "";
I'm wondering if its possible to have the colour of the field that uses the above script, change based on the entry. E.g. If the answer is Low; make the background colour Green; if its Moderate, make it orange etc.?
I know its a big ask but thought I would check.
Thanks in advance.

One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

Changing the background colour of an image.....

hello, quick question, hopefully with a simple answer.....
Im trying to get the photo with the black background, to have a blue background, similar to one shown.
Is there a way of achieving this in photoshop?
any help would be greatly appreciated
regards,
Alex

make a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, select Colorize and change the sliders until you get the color that you want. Select the layer mask of the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, go to Select->Color Range and select the background only(it should be white) while keeping the stand deselected(black) and don't worry if you get some gray areas. Alt+Click on the layer mask and with the Dodge Tool set to Highlights and a high exposure paint on the gray areas of the background to turn them white. Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur and blur it a bit, the amount depends on the image size, for the image you posted about 2 pixels should be enough. Alt+click on the layer mask again so that you can see the image and with the layer mask still selected go to Image->Adjustments->Levels and drag the black triangle to the right until you see the color cast in the stand disappear.
Of course you can stop after only using the Hue/Saturation adjustment if it's good enough for you

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>

Colour background images changes when applying effect

Hey,
I created a page, with a large background image in the back. When applying an effect (like shadow, or transparency) to text above, the colour of the image below changes, it becomes less saturated. This persist even when exporting and viewing in Acrobat Reader.
Im using InDesign CS3 with Windows XP SP2
Greets!

Try changing your transparency blend space to RGB.

Design Studio 1.3: include image, change textbox background colour, Data labels allingment

Dear Community,
I've been trying to rebuild one of my Analayis Office Workbooks within Design Studio.
Attempting this, I've come across some questions I hope to find answers to, with your help:
1. How can I include images, in a local application? I've inserted the "image" component, but I can't asign an Image file to this.
2. How can I change the background colour of a textbox-component?
3. I have a chart in my Dashboard. The bars I want to be labled. But defining, that data labels should be placed outside the bars, there is a mixed result. Some bars show the labels outside, some others display the lable somewhere within the bar.
Who can help with those questions? Thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Sarah

1. How can I include images, in a local application? I've inserted the "image" component, but I can't asign an Image file to this.
When working in Local Mode, go to Application -> Open Repository Folder -> and open the folder that your BI Application is named. Place your image file there. Go back to your Design Studio Image component and set the src to the name of that image file. It should show up. This gets a little more involved when working on the BI Platform or NetWeaver Platform, as you'll want to publish the Image to a public folder on the CMS somewhere (for BI Platform), or the MIME Repository (for NetWeaver Platform). But the concept is similar in that you have to know where to place the files once you are at that point. Also as an approach that should work without any need to publish the image to the platform (as it's a little tedious), please read this document:
How to embed images inside of a Design Studio App without uploading to server.
Or, if you do not want to go through the base-64 encoding, consider the addon I blogged about here:
Design Studio 1.2 SDK - An Image Component free of MIME Repository worries
The deployable version can be downloaded from this blog:
Design Studio 1.2/1.3 SDK - Design Studio Utility Pack
2. How can I change the background colour of a textbox-component?
You will have to write a CSS rule like this:
.testbox {
background : #009966;
Then assign 'testbox' as the CSS Class to the text input box.
3. I have a chart in my Dashboard. The bars I want to be labled. But defining, that data labels should be placed outside the bars, there is a mixed result. Some bars show the labels outside, some others display the lable somewhere within the bar.
Not sure how much control the delivered chart components would give you here. Maybe one of the third party addons listed in this post could help?

A problem changing applet's background colour

Hi there,
I'm hoping somebody can help me with what I believe to be a problem I have in changing the background colour of an applet, the source code of which is posted below. If super.paint(g); is commented out, the background of the applet will be changed to whatever colour is specified, however if it is not the background will remain grey. As I understand though, super.paint(g); should be part of the program. What am I doing wrong? Should super.paint(g); in this example be part of the program?
Before posting this I searched the forums and looked at some of the Q's & A's about changing an applet's background colour but am non the wiser.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
THE_TH1NG
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Calculate extends JApplet
public Calculate()
//Variables used in our calculations.
double sum; // Add the two numbers
double product; // Multiply the two numbers
double quotient; // The first number divided by the second number
double difference; // The first number minus the second number - This may result in a negative value being returned
double userInput1; //Stores the first number as a double after being converted from type string
double userInput2; //Stores the second number as a double after being converted from type string
public void init()
String number1; // The first number to be entered by the user
String number2; // The second number to be entered by the user
number1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the first floating point number"); // The user inputs the first number as a string
number2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the second floating point number"); // The user inputs the second number as a string
// Convert the user's input from type string to type double
userInput1 = Double.parseDouble( number1 );
userInput2 = Double.parseDouble( number2 );
// Perform the calculations
sum = (userInput1 + userInput2);
product = (userInput1 * userInput2);
difference = (userInput1 - userInput2);
quotient = (userInput1 / userInput2);
public void paint( Graphics g )
//The applets background will be set to the desired colour if super.paint(g) is commented out
//But the background will remain grey if the code is not commented out.
//What am I doing wrong?
//super.paint( g );
setBackground(new Color(50,150,255)); //Light Blue
g.drawRect(10,10,250,100); // Draw a rectangle 250 pixels wide X 100 pixels high to enclose the rest of the program's output
//Dispaly the results of the calculations to the user
g.drawString( "The numbers entered are " + userInput1 + ", " + userInput2, 25, 25);
g.drawString( "The sum is " + sum, 25, 40);
g.drawString( "The product is " + product, 25, 55);
g.drawString( "The difference is " + difference, 25, 70);
g.drawString( "The quotient is " + quotient, 25, 85);

You could try defining
public void update(Graphics g) {
paint(g);
}That's the only difference I see between your code and my applet code. If that isn't it, you could try getContentPane().setBackground(...) but I don't know how that could make much difference (I would think that the content pane is transparent...)
Another possibility is that, if you're using Swing, you probably shouldn't be overriding paint() and should stick to the paintComponent() method or whatever is appropriate.

Pse 10 change background colour in organizer

Hi pse-experts,
as a user of pse 6 I 'm used to work with darkgrey background in the organizer.
This works perfectly for quickly assessing brightness and contrast of pictures.
In pse 10 however I could not find any button to change the preset lightgrey background colour to darkgrey.
Has anyone an idea in order to do this ?
Thanks for your support, Frank

Right click in the middle of the edit window.
But you must right-click next to an open image or in the gray space in a floating window. I often choose a black background.

How to change background colour?

Hi
I have an image with a statue and different background colours. I want to change the complete background colour around the statue in one colour for example white. I tried several times but it doesnt work. Do you have a suggestion?
Thx
Dom

Hi Dom,
You've asked about a technique that many beginner Photoshop users want to learn. The challenge is that this technique requires learning a few tools and skills before you start. I would recommend the following:
1. Learn about how to make selections. Here is an image with the blue background selected. Here's a video about making basic selections.
2. Learn about layers and masks and how they work. Below is the same image with the blue background hidden. This video teaches the basics about the Layers panel.
3. Create a new background layer to replace the old one. Below is the image with a new solid white background on the layer below the original statue layer.
Once you've learned about selections and layers, try following the technique Russell Brown uses in the video below to create a simple selection of the current background and hide it by using a layer mask. Once the old background color is hidden by the layer mask, the layer beneath is revealed and it replaces the old background.
Good luck with your project! I hope this helps.

Change poster background colour

How do I change the background colour from blu in pages poster?

Hi Monuka,
Which poster? I opened the high school poster and clicked on the background. The small x marks show that the object is locked. With the object selected,
Menu > Arrange > Unlock
Open Inspector > Object Tab > Fill
You will see Image Fill > Tile.
Change this to Fill > Colour Fill
Click on the colour window in Inspector (below Colour Fill) and choose a new colour.

How to change the text color of a label by using RGB values without changing the background colour?

xCode interface builder:
When I try to change the color property of a label's text by using the RGB values, the background color also changes to the same value automatically.
in other words:
While setting the RGB values for text colour of labels, the background colour also changes unless we use the sliders.
How to make sure that only the color of text changes and not the background?

You can simply do this.
[labelname setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:38/255.0f green:171/255.0f blue:226/255.0f alpha:1.0f]];

How to change the page Header background colour in a Theme

Hello,
I want to know how to change the page header background colour. If you are in the Editor I don't find a property where to change it.
If you are in the Theme Editor in the header bar I want to change stands <b>Theme Editor</b>. This (in my case blue colored bar) I want to change in another color.

Hello Radhika,
thanks for your answer. Where do I find the option for the pageheader in System Administration>Portal Display>Theme Editor ->IView Trays exactly?
The pageheader is a picture, which must be uploaded for the web dynpro. Why should any webdynpro element in the ivew tray. There is no relationship between these two parts.
I have not found any option to change the web dynpro pageheader. Could there any extra theme editor for webdynpro?
Thanks.

When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

Hi,
when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
Anybody?
Thanks a lot!
Wouter

I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

Changing background colour of W995 (when you don't have wallpaper)?

Hello,
If i set my phone to have no wallpaper the background colour for the main screen is grey. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone know how to change this to black? I think it was black to start with but somehow it got changed and I can't see a straightforward way of setting it back to black using the Display options because on my phone (W995) there is option here for colour change.
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer

What I really want to do is to set the background to black, then have a picture that i've taken in landscape as my wallpaper. Because it's in landscape some of the background is still seen at the top and bottom and i want this to be black rather than grey. I'm sure it was before, I just find it crazy that it has changed and there is no easy or obvious way to change it back - especially as the default setting must have been black. I tried doing a reset of setting but it still came up as grey, even though I had to reset the time and date and so on.
I wish they just had a menu so you could select a background colour, but it seems that doesn't exist. Sorry to be seeming so difficult, because I appreciate your suggestions - I should have explained before that it isn't so much that I want a black wallpaper as a black background to put an image on top of as wallpaper.
