Background gifs
Is it possible to import and tile a background gif into a pages document? I'm trying to create a page I can email that has a tiled background, where the background is taken from a site that offers free backgrounds. I like the background in iWeb that looks like black cloth. Would like to use that background in a Pages document. Can this be done? Thanks for any help.

We can't insert a Pages document in a mail.
We may only attach it and this requires a complementary task: pack the doc as an archive (zip for instance).
Pages documents requires Pages to read them.
Given that, as the Users guide claims:
Working with Images
+Pages accepts all QuickTime-supported formats, including the following graphics file+
types:
+• TIFF+
+• GIF+
+• JPEG+
+• PDF+
+• PSD+
+• EPS+
+• PICT+
I checked that we really may insert GIF objects and move them to background.

Loading transparent background gif on an image
Hello everyone! I am trying to load a transparent background gif([http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/graphics/animehurr.gif]) on another image (which is a map). My way is adding two JPanels, each of them will load an image as an ImageIcon, however, the gif will display its transparent background as white. So, I googled the problem, it seems someone has a similar problem([t-681840]). I think the background area is not transparent due to the wrong container under the image, but I have no clue to make it right. I appeciated anyone can post a comment, or give me some advice.
I attach my code as following.
jPanel1 = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(jPanel1);
jPanel1.setBounds(12, 10, 647, 358);
ImageIcon iconMap = new ImageIcon("C:\\1\\com\\lfhsolutions\\trackthis\\images\\Map.JPG");
JLabel label1 = new JLabel();
label1.setIcon(iconMap);
jPanel1.add(label1);
this.getContentPane().add(jPanel1);
setVisible(true);
jPanel2 = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(jPanel2);
jPanel2.setBounds(330, 200, 50, 46);
ImageIcon iconHurricane = new ImageIcon("C:\\1\\com\\lfhsolutions\\trackthis\\images\\hurricane1.gif");
JLabel label2 = new JLabel();
label2.setIcon(iconHurricane);
jPanel2.add(label2);
this.getContentPane().add(jPanel2);
setVisible(true);Sorry if my code bothers u, camickr !

FIREFOX IS FREEZING MY BACKGROUND GIF IMAGES WHEN THEY USED TO RUN SMOOTHLY BEFORE.
WE CREATE WEBSITES USING THE WEEBLY CREATOR, AND ALL OF OUR BACKGROUND IMAGING WORKS FLAWLESSLY IN CHROME.
BUT WE DESIGN ALL OF OUR WEBSITES USING THE FIREFOX BROWSER, AND CERTAIN BACKGROUNDS ARE FREEZING WHEN THEY NEVER USED TO DO SO BEFORE.
1. WE DELETED FOXFIRE AND UPDATED IT AGAIN
2. WE DISABLED ALL OF OUR PLUGINS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK.
3 WE WENT TO THE CONFIF: SETTINGS AND MADE SURE BOTH VIDEO AND GRAPH SETTINGS WHERE SET TO TRUE AND WE ARE STILL HAVING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH FREEZING BAD.
4. WE DISABLED HARDWARE ACCELERATOR WITH STILL NO LUCK

Hi. Im making an rpg, and while trying to add the image of the person ontop, i noticed that, unlike on websites, the background of black isnt transparent. Could someone please help. Is there a color that java reconizes as see-through for a .gif?
Thanx in advanced,
ME :DWould a png reduce the time it takes to repaint?
Not per se, no. Images are decoded when loaded so the source is pretty much irrelevant.
My brother said being able to look at the hex value and not the .grabPixels() array would reduce the time it take to repaint. Is this true?
I'm not sure I follow. What are you doing? You don't need to grab pixels to repaint, are you manipulating the image directly in between paint cycles? If so then you can expect operations to be quite slow.
4000 x 3500 image cut in 2. Would that reduce repaint time?
Possibly. Are you using transforms to render with? If not then you can't hope to render all that on a screen so there'd probably be no harm in tiling it.
Right now what is happening is u can see each picture repaint itself.
I suspect what you have, since you're using GIFs (which are palletised) is an image which has a data transfer type different to that used by the graphics device.
Via GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice you can get GraphicsConfiguration and query its ColorModel and then its transfer type. In most cases this will be an integer type but it's best to check.
Then, from the BufferedImage you've created, get its ColorModel and the transfer type. You'll probably find with a GIF-sourced image that it's a byte type.
If the two transfer types are different then pasting the image is a costly operation: what you need to do is use the GraphicsContext to create a compatible image, then render your old image into it, and dispose of the old one.
That's a fairly undesirable step to have to go through - it'll obviosusly take a bit of processor time for an image the size of yours and there's the memory overhead of having it in memory twice as well (even though the initial image will be only a quarter the size of the compatible one, if it uses bytes instead of ints). So one thing you can do is store your image as a true-color PNG instead of a GIF - there's nothing magic about this, but what it does mean is that on decoding it you will end up with a color model and transfer type which is integer-based and will render quickly for anyone using a true-color display (which is most people).
You're doing this in an applet and an integer-based image of that size is going to cause you massive problems with heap space. You've got 96Mb to play with and that image will eat 56Mb of it. If you're having to copy a byte image to it then that's going to require an extra 14Mb overhead.
I would strongly question the wisdom of using a 4000x3500 image in an applet. What are you using it for? Can you find an alternative means of rendering the image or parts of it? - eg if a lot of it is plain-colour then can you break it into parts which only cover the non-plain sections? if there are repetitions in the image can you re-use tiles?
Oh hang on, it'd help if I checked that applet link...
WHOA! Yeah - there's no need at all for a huge image like that! You only have two background tiles, a green one and a blue one - use a data structure to lay out the tiles, eg if you wanted four green squares surrounded by a ring of blue squares you might do it like this,
int[][] map =
{ 0, 0, 0, 0 },
{ 0, 1, 1, 0 },
{ 0, 1, 1, 0 },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0 }
}...though you'd be better off sticking the values in a text file and parsing it to create the map.
Hope that all helps. -
Mac OS10.4.11. Keynote 3.0.2
Logo created in Freehand.
I want to place a two colour logo (Call it "A&B") into KN on a colored background without its white picture box surrounding it. JPEG, TIFF, PDF files don't seem to work.
A Freehand vector EPS logo file works for me. A Photoshop EPS does not... it has a white box. What's the difference?
I sent the logo files to my client to use in his Windows Powerpoint. His logo files all have white boxes. He says the FH EPS file came in as a blank. What can I send him so the logo is clean... like it had a clipping path around it, without an actual clipping path?
His comments are:
I can take the jpeg and convert it to a websafe transparent background GIF in Corel PhotoPaint, but since it is a jpeg, the resolution is not high enough to produce a truly clean looking image.
I have a couple of programs that can open eps files. Both show that the image is completely blank and also indicate that in the image properties. If you have image content and I don’t the problem may be our email system stripping the content as a perceived threat. You could try imbedding the file in a zip file or emailing it to my home email where the filtering won’t be anywhere near as aggressive.
My question: What file format will work?
G4/1.25GHzIf you've got GraphicConverter, you can import your JPG, hit the background with the transparency wand, then save as either a GIF or PNG document to preserve the transparency. Of course, the initial resolution of the JPG will have some impact on the final result, but take a look and see if it's acceptable or not.

Does Keynote 6.0 no longer support Transparent GIF or Quicktime Animations?

Moving on...
At my company, we create images, animations, video backgrounds and templates for PowerPoint and Keynote etc. Keynote '09 (iwork '09) and PowerPoint 2008 and 2011 on the Mac, all work. Now we're hearing that the transparent backgrounds are no longer being recognized (black background instead of clear). Is anyone able to check this for me and let me know if there is a workaround or something? I can't find any documentation on how Quicktime changed with Maverick or Keynote 6, so need to do real world testing I'm only running '09 on my Mac and won't have Keynote 6 for another 2 weeks or so.
Please let me know, I may be able to throw in a free subscription to our website for someone who can help me with this.Hello all... I'm maybe a little late to the party here, but I've had the same trouble for a while with both animated Transparent gifs and quicktime movies with an alpha channel matte.
This morning I spent half an hour tinkering with the export options from quicktime player pro on my old laptop (I used QT 7.6.6 on OSX 10.8.5) and managed to make a "transparent" quicktime movie which plays in the new version of Keynote.
If you have access to the old version of quicktime player pro, you can open your transparent, previously playable file (.gif or .movie) and use the ProRes compressor, using the "4444" option in the list of compressors. Make sure the colours are set to "millions+" to retain the matte and you shoud be OK.
It works a charm... you have to re-import it, simply replacing the original file in the finder seemingly doesn't work, but you can use this method to generate a working version and take 30 seconds to re-import it into the keynote.
Yes, the files are much larger than gifs. Yes it's a lot of messing around if you're not familiar with movies. But in principle it worked for me and sorted out a whole heap of my problems.
Just for note, I've not tried exporting it to Powerpoint as I've no need to do so, or way to test it, but I guess that is a different matter.
Hope that makes sense! -

Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10
I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Mickkaare
You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
Photoshop CS2 and saved each
psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
png
Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
and the "black background" became a "solid color".
Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

Browser background not showing up
I FINALLY got my website (www.unyquefiretrucks.com) to load but now the browser background does not appear!!! It showed up ok when I had published to MobileMe originally.
The homepage has a diamond plate (aluminum) browser background and crosspieces on the homepage itself to divide the sections (you can see the outline of the cross pieces but they don't show up) while the rest of the pages use a background with the maltese cross (fire dept. emblem) as the broswer background (no page background used). On my 9/11 memorial pages, I used a design as the page background with a color as the browser background & that appears fine. With that in mind I am confused as to why the homepage is not showing up properly...I used a web safe color for the page background & the diamond plate (tile) for the browser background. I should mention that the homepage is 875 px wide while the rest of the pages are 980 px wide...don't think this should be an issue because it appeared ok on MobileMe but who knows...that's why I'm on these forums!!
HELP!!!! I finally got this thing to load properly so I need to get this last little tweak taken care of. If you want/need to see what the site looks like normally, the unoptimized version is still accessible at
http://web.me.com/firescueguy/UNYQUEFIRETRUCKS/uNYquefiretrucks_home.html
Should I just add the maltese cross as the page background with a web safe color for the browser background on the bulk of my pages? Still not quite sure how that will affect the homepage with the diamond plate not showing up. BTW, eliminating the diamond plate on the homepage is NOT an option, that makes the entire page IMHO.
Thanks in advance for the help, these forums have been a good source of info for me. Thanks, TomOld Toad, thanks for the reply...FYI, I used an optimization program called HTML Optimizer Plus that FTP's my site to the server (actually much quicker than CyberDuck IMO). While I have a 1-to-1 set up for tomorrow, I would like to pick your brain as you seem to be pretty knowledgeable judging by your numerous posts. Exactly how would I load those background .gif files? They are currently in a folder on my desktop with various backgrounds. Oddly enough, the background for the 9/11 pages loaded with no problem.
Thanks for the tip on the activity window (I did not know about that tool), that definitely gave more insight into what I was missing. I will give some thought to remove the border (will probably try it on a page or two to see how it looks first before changing the whole site).
One last thing...I had named my homepage index.html (that file still exists on the server) but the optimizer program generated the file index.html.html - if I deleted this file, would the server presumably recognize the standard index.html file?
Look forward to hearing your input. Thanks again for your help, Tom

Background image/reloading/closing applet
2 questions:
1) How do I put a background gif/jpg image on a frame window?
2) Is there a method or command that can restart or reload the current applet?
3) What's the best normal way to kill/exit the applet? (System.exit() ?)
What about browser, how do I close the applet in the browser.
Appreciate any help.
Regards,
Helix
http://www27.brinkster.com/helixicalI think if you understand Applet's life cycle clearly you'll find answers to questions 2 and 3:
init() - initializes the applet for the first time.
start() - starts the applet after initialization and after every time it was stopped. (answer for your Q2)
paint() - does the actual painting of the applet.
stop() - stops the applet (kind of temporary), can be restarted anytime.
destroy() - kills the applet once for all. (answer for your Q3, call this whenever you want the applet to be destroyed).
answer to Q1, try the following:
in init():
MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker (this);
bgImage = getImage (new URL(getCodeBase(), getParameter("bgImage")));
tracker.addImage (bgImage, 0);
tracker.waitForAll();
public void update( Graphics g) {
paint(g);
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if(bgImage != null) {
int x = 0, y = 0;
while(y < size().height) {
x = 0;
while(x< size().width) {
g.drawImage(bgImage, x, y, this);
x=x+bgImage.getWidth(null);
y=y+bgImage.getHeight(null);
else {
g.clearRect(0, 0, size().width, size().height);
happy trying...

Changing Oracle Fusion Middleware text in background of the forms.
Dear All,
I have migrated forms 6i into 11g.
Now In the background of forms, "Oracle Fusion MiddleWare" Text displaying.
While searching for the solution I got something like JAR and all. I dont understand this.
Can anybody tell me where to change the setting for "Oracle Fusion MiddleWare" Text display.
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Raja.In formsweb.cfg, change BACKGROUND to point to the image of your choice. The value is a virtual path so you can use a fully qualified path or relative path. For example:
BACKGROUND=http://myServer/icons/background.gif
OR
BACKGROUND=/icons/background.gif
The same is true for LOGO and SPLASHSCREEN
Check out the documentation. This is always a good place to start.

Background image bottom repeating horizontally
hi
ive been messing around with some code for a while now and nothing seems to be working. im trying to get a 1px width image to repeat along the bottom of the page in the background, i put in;
background-image: url(images/footer-bg.gif);
background-position:bottom;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
and nothing appears
if i repeat vertically i can see it up the centre of the page running vertically...?
background-image: url(images/footer-bg.gif);
background-position:bottom;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
can anyone help, thanks guys.hey thanks for your replies, heres an example link, as you can see im using tables.. yes i know tables horrible, but so is this project and i just want to get it out of the way.
at the bottom of the page is a grey strip with some logos, basically i want to insert a grey strip running the width of the page to go behind this, i thought a background gif at the bottom of the page running horizontally would work but obviously not, could i put a div behind?

After embeding the background, Cant see Text on top
Hello,
I embed the background with an image and now I want to show
some text and some link bar on top. I am unable to see anything on
top of the background image. Please help.
Here is my code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.containers.Panel;
import mx.core.BitmapAsset;
[Embed(source='MyImages/background.gif')]
public var bg:Class;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
private function init():void
var s:Shape = new Shape();
var u:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
u.addChild( s );
this.addChild( u );
var bd:BitmapData = new bg().bitmapData;
s.graphics.beginBitmapFill( bd, null, true );
s.graphics.drawRect(0,0, 3500, 3500); // huge
s.graphics.endFill();
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="School For Girls" fontFamily="Times New
Roman" color="#ffffff" fontSize="31" bottom="150"
horizontalCenter="22"/>
</mx:Application>If you are using Flex builder then from the Design view click
on the background to see its properties in the right pane. Then
select Alphabetical View to see all the properties. There you
should see the backgroundImage.
OR use this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:backgroundImage>
@Embed(source='file:///C|/xxxxxxx.jpg')</mx:backgroundImage>

I am trying to create a page using CSS. I have a background
image that tiles like I want it to. Here is the CSS:
padding: 0;
Margin: 0;
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position:center;
I want some of my various other divs to lay on top of this
background but have a different background color that overlays the
page background image. Instead of taking the background color I
specify, the main page background above shows through. For example
below, the dark brown background doesn't show:
#nav {
margin-left: 4px;
width: 802px;
height: 26px;
background-color:#211400;
Thanks in advance for helping.This is what I did for mine:
background-image: url("../images/background.gif");
