Background Image Support?
i recently purchased a Creative Vision M (i also have a 30gb ipod video) and it allows you to select an image as your background while music is playing. i actually thought it would effect the battery life, but it really didnt. any chance apple can shell out ipod video/nano software with this feature?
No, that would be really cool though.
I seriously doubt Apple reads any of the stuff people complain about here, unless there was a major epidemic of some sort.
You can't really compare the Creative M and the Apple iPod either, because one is completely different from they other, they run on different firmware and iPods are more compatible (and better) on Macs anyway.
Try going to the suggestions area...I don't have a link though

Background Image Not Visible in Browser
I have searched the forum but I'm not finding a solution that
works.
I'm trying to put a background .png image in a header. It
shows up in Dreamweaver but not in preview mode. I have an external
style sheet that contains this:
.twoColFixRtHdr #header {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 126px;
width: 770px;
padding: 0;
background-position: left top;
margin: 0px;
background-image: url(assets/pictures/banner_3.png);
My page contains the following:
<div id="header">
<h1 class="banner_title_top">Text</h1>
<h1><span class="banner_title_bottom">Text
</span>
<!-- end #header -->
</h1>
The ".twoColFixRtHdr" is coming from the fact that I'm using
a pre-made Dw CSS layout.
Any help is very appreciated.
JasonShould have made no difference.

How to get background image to fill the browser and remain fixed in both IE and Firefox?
Basically what it says in the title. I've come very close in achieving this but something just doesn't tie up in the html and css code...
First of all, I'm using IE8 and the latest version of Firefox to test this.
I used 2 sources of information for getting this done: 1) http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ and 2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8958697/css3-background-size-cover-doesnt-make-image-co ver-vertically
In Case 1 the example on the page called CSS-Only Technique #1 gives code that works almost perfectly for me, except that obviously I need a background image, however the CSS provided there is clearly just for an image dropped in the body of a page with no regard for other content that may already be there. The html code that I put on the page is simply <img class="bg" src="../images/background_image.jpg">
Obviously I used the CSS code provided in the example, minus the last bit which is "@media screen" etc etc, which seems irrelevant to me. Obviously substituting values to suit the image on my page.
So what happened is that it almost worked as intended in both the browsers (which means the image filled both browsers width-wise as intended and also remained fixed when I zoomed in or out in each case) except that the image went over the top of the current content that I had there already precisely because it's not a background in this "technique". (A curious side-note is that the image didn't push down the content, as I'd have expected in normal circumstances, but went right over the top of it so it hid it (like z-index).
One thing that does bother me about this "technique" is that if you click on View Demo just below the code provided you will see on the working example page (forest background) the image clearly works as a background and the content sits happily on top! So I don't know whether the person providing the example was trying to mislead people or what! Or he got lazy and showed a different page that didn't use the exact code he provided. No matter.
In any case this leaves me with the job only half finished, as I still need a background image that works like the 'normal image' code provided.
On to Case 2 and on this page the first example provided gives the CSS for the background image - namely the code within html {...} part and also shows the same 'normal image' code as given in Case 1. In this case however, although the person provided a suggestion, the css and html doesn't really tie up properly plus some of the css and html seems a bit redundant. So this time when I used the 'html portion' of the CSS code (i.e. just the bit that was most relevant) I got two different behaviours in each browser and neither of which was quite what I'm looking for. In IE8 initially the page looks fine (background fills the page and content is on top) however when I zoom in or out the background also zooms in or out accordingly so is NOT fixed. In Firefox the background image DOES stay fixed, however because the image originally is not the whole height of the browser I'm guessing the code stretches it downwards (while keeping proportions - so the image essentially enlarges) to fill all of it. The quick way to get around it is to probably add some white space to the bottom of the image just to give it enough height that it doesn't stretch/resize automatically. But it would be nice to find out anyway how to get around this in the code. Overall I would say that the result in Firefox comes closest to the desired solution but of course it doesn't help matters with IE8.
Apologies for the lengthy description but that should at least provide plenty info for anybody that might have a possible solution for me. Essentially what would be great is if somebody could advise me how to take the code from Case 1 and apply it to a 'background' piece of coding like the type that's contained within html {...} in Case 2. Like I said, it's so nearly there but I just can't make it work atm after trying to combine the various bits of code this way and that... Alternatively, if somebody has another html-css version that works nicely for achieving this then please by all means let me know! Thanks v much in advance!This works in modern CSS3 supporting browsers. But not pre-IE9.

Why can't I select background images in Pages 5?
So I've got a document with an image of a Gantt Chart, and it's been formatted to be in the background.
When I try to insert a new page before this image, it overlays the text of another page.
Trying to find 'select background images' is no where to be found, whereas in Pages 09, it was fine.
I'm all for simplicity, but removing something like this, and not being able to select this image at all?
Is there anything I've missed?This is not the answer to the original question but it is an answer to a related problem.
Apparently, Apple removed the simple and useful "Send Object to Background" menu item. For the last half an hour I was straggling to put my signature image under my name in a letter. The image background is white. So, when I insert the image, it is on top of the text and blocking it.
Then, I searched and found this discussion, it helped but not solved the problem. I found a solution inspired by this discussion. Here, what I tried to send an image to the background.
Chose the image in question. When I selected "Arrange -> Section Masters -> Move Object to Page" as suggested in this thread, it moves the image to the background. BUT, the image appears on every page at the same position within the section. If the document is a single-section document (almost all my documents are single-section documents, as I use Pages for short simple documents like letters (in the near future, I'll say "I used to use Pages", as this kind of feature removal makes it unfeasible to use it anymore).
Thus, you have to define a new section which should contain only the page in question. Enough rumbling! Here is exactly what I did:
Let N be the page number on which you wish to put an object in the background.
Go to page N (your cursor must be somewhere on that page)
On the toolbar choose "Setup -> Section Tab -> Create a new section -> Starting with this page"
Go to page N+1
On the toolbar choose "Setup -> Section Tab -> Create a new section -> Starting with this page"
Now, you have a single-page-section on page N.
Put you object on page N
Select the object (image)
On the menu, choose "Arrange -> Section Masters -> Move Object to Page"
Also, I recommend to enable by "Arrange -> Section Masters -> make Master Objects Selectable"
You can put any number of objects on page N by repeating on steps 5 to 8.
The problem is, however, if you continue to edit your document and and sections gets longer, it will start a new page at the end of that section. Which is awful, because you'll have to remove the sections, and start from scratch, or manually move the text from one section to the other. So, do this after you are done with the document. Pity!
If anyone have a better solution it will be appreciated.
-- o --
Now, I will continue to nag, if you allow me. When I open an old Pages document with images in the background, it opens just fine. It is not selectable as the original author stated. This indicate that Pages still support background objects independent of the sections, it just doesn't offer in interface to that facility. Why?
I had a fairly large number of letters and templates I created with Pages. Before it is too late, I'll abandon it.
I have a similar experience with iWeb. Apple promoted it, and then abandon it. Now all of my class pages (http://web.boun.edu.tr/akdogan) look too 2000s style, but I don't have energy to convert them something else at this point, but I'll have to.
So I will continue to use LaTeX for long documents (that has been the choice for a long time), but I'll switch back to almost equally annoying Word for short and medium documents.
Again, pity! I used to like Pages. -
How to add a button to background image in Fireworks
Hello!
I created recently a clickable button with a rollover effect. I made it iin FW CS5 as a symbol and exported. So I have now .html file and 2 images files (2 states of my button). The button itself works fine on a live site. Now, I want to learn a technique to be able to put that button with the effect and the link in it on an image (it would be like a background for the button).
Thanks in advance!Two things.
First, when you save from Fireworks, you get a Fireworks document .png, complete with layers, vector objects, and all the other various complex definitions Fireworks can support. Fireworks is the only program that can interpret this information. Any other program (such as a browser) can display what the document looks like, but it's probably much larger than it needs to be for the Web. For Web use, you want to export an image (.gif, .jpg, or one of the bitmap .png variations). Be careful when you export an image to a bitmap .png format that you do not use the same name as your master FW document and overwrite your FW document.
Second, DW is not a layout program. In order to create HTML files, you probably ought to learn a bit about HTML. I recommend you work through one or both of these tutorials:
http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/html-css-beginners-guide
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
An HTML file defines blocks of content. The blocks can be stacked or can contain other blocks. The basic html file contains two blocks: the head section and the body section. The only thing in the head section that shows is the page title in the browser's address bar. Also, JavaScript code is often put in the head section. The body section contains all the visible content of your page. Within the body section, you add blocks of content that are HTML elements.
Content blocks can have properties., One of the properties is a background image. If you want to have a page background, then you need to create an image, export it from Fireworks, and then set it as the background for the body section of the page. That image is then behind all the content blocks you define within the body section: buttons, paragraphs, other images, tables, anything. Most of these other elements can also have background images defined, too.
Fireworks produces images that are defined by what's visible as well as any active slices (such as those created by buttons). When you exported your background image with a button, Fireworks gave you an HTML table (one of the many kind of content blocks) because the button defined slice regions. Fireworks can't "know" that you really wanted a background image and then the HTML to put a button in a certain location on a page. It created the images you defined (but not what you wanted). -
In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background. I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it. How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background? I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.
If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge. I believe Lightroom and Bridge keep thumbnails they develop for image files in their library databases and caches. Other programs do not have acces to these. RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then. I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails. Jpeg format does not support transparency.
Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails. However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac. -
Background Image in Nav Bar Not Working in IE 6 (but ok in 7 and Firefox 2)
Hi gang,
I'm having a bit of a problem with a background image for a navigation bar not appearing in IE 6. I've also tested it in IE 7 - it works perfectly, as it does in Firefox 2.
http://www.iainmoran.com/update/test.html
The really strange thing is the part of the bar after "Contact" IS fine in IE 6.
Also, is there any way to remove unused styles (in an external CSS) in DW? Just it would be a pain to go through and remove the styles I've tried, but then later decided not to use.
Thanks again,

Not exaclty a DW answer, but I've used the free FireFox add-on to help me find unused selectors. Point it to a sitemap.xml and it can spider the whole site (as listed in that xml file).

How to create a scaled page background image?
Hi - does anyone know of a way of creating a page background image which will scale to fit any screen width? I've tried googling it, but get back so many complicated explanations that I don't know which to believe. Up until now I've resorted to creating a large image, usually around 1700 x 1400px, which just about works, but obviously smaller screens lose a lot of it. I'd really like to understand how to do this properly,
Thanks
SWHow far back in browser version history do you want to support?
IE9+ and any modern browser (like Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera) will work with the background-size:cover attribute:value in CSS3: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
For older browsers, you'll need a bit more complicated solution using javascript like this page: http://louisremi.github.io/jquery.backgroundSize.js/demo/ -
Replacing images used as a link with background image
OK - I'm embarrassed to say that what I'm trying to do is
blindingly

the work
in code view but I'm having a senior moment and can't do what
I want.
I've read that when you use images on a page for background
styling,
for example the logo, or an image of a professional body such
as IEE,
it is more semantically correct to use CSS background images
rather
that a <img src=
tag
So I have a div in which I put the background, but then

logically you can't directly put a link to it. So how do you
do it.
I've tried to ensure there was a block element so when you

mouse over it you get a block link - but no joy.

can place a

Safari does not display my background-image from my CSS
I am creating a web site in which I want an image to be seen in the backgound with the text "floating" over it. The code is listed below.

background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:top right;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:100%;
The image can be seen in IE, Netscape and Firefox but not in Safari. Is there a trick to this for Safari or does Safari not support this?

Background image resizing always 100%
Hi,
I'm trying to do something but it doesn't work. I have an edge animation with a image in background. the image has a 100% width and height to fit perfectly the browser. My problem is when I'm trying to resize manually the window, it doesn't keep the ratio. so I tried with the "height: auto" properties but if you resize the browser window, the height isn't to 100% anymore..
Thanks in advance for your help !
p.s: You can find my example in the .zip file.
https://www.box.com/s/2sjd8419ot3ww2n59vp5Hi
As most modern browsers now support background image scaling, and with a little effort it can also be simulated in IE8 and below, (via the alphaImageLoader) why not use the browsers built in features for this?

Background-image for commandToolbarButton
Hi,
I want to skin af:commandToolbarButton similar to standard skinned commandbutton.
I managed to change the background-image for the link-section, but there seems to be a other section with a background-image which is a little bit bigger than the link-section.
But I can't find how to e.g. disable this background-image when mouse is moved over the commandtoolbarbutton.
Here my CSS definition for the hover-action:
================================
af|commandToolbarButton:hover,
af|commandToolbarButton::link:hover,
af|commandToolbarButton::text:hover
background-image: none;
border : none;
============================
What's my mistake?
regards
PeterHi,
if you extend an existing skin then you need to use
-tr-inhibit: background-image
Here's a list of the valid CSS
af|commandToolbarButton
Style on the root element of the af:commandToolbarButton component. This style includes the .AFDefaultFont:alias style. CommandToolbarButton supports further styling with the :hover, :depressed, :selected, :disabled, :text-only and :action-disabled pseudo-classes.
af|commandToolbarButton::access-key
Style on the access key for the label of the af:commandToolbarButton component. For example, underline the access key. Includes .AFFormAccessKeyStyle:alias.
af|commandToolbarButton::link
Style on the button link on the af:commandToolbarButton component.
af|commandToolbarButton::text Style on the button text on the af:commandToolbarButton component.
af|commandToolbarButton::dropdown-cell
Style on the cell containing the dropdown icon used for the popup button of the af:commandToolbarButton component.
af|commandToolbarButton::dropdown-icon-style
Style of the icon used for the popup button of the af:commandToolbarButton component. The icon is specified as a background-image in this key. To override the default icon, set -tr-inhibit: background-image in the dropdown-icon-style and define the override icon for the dropdown-icon.
