Background using 2 screens

I am using an external monitor with my laptop. In CS3 the image I work on is on the external monitor with a grey background. However the workspace is on the laptop and always has the underlying desktop visible. Is there some way to just have a clean background (apart from cleaning up my desktop!)
Macbook Pro, Leopard 10.5.2, CS3
Thanks
Sue

There's a utility to put a gray curtain over your desktop.

To run a report in background in selection screen using a new button

hi friends iam new member to this site
nice to meet u all
i want to run a report in background using the selection screen of the same report and i want to keep a button in application tool bar.
after enter the values in the selection screen by clicking that button it should move to the screen which we get generally by menu option
program-->execute in background
and by entering the output device and start condition it should be scheduled in the background.
with job_open,job_submit and job_close we need variants.
for this i tried through bp_jobvariant_schedule and
bp_jobvariant_overview but with this we can run with variants only
but the user wants to enter the values in selection screen and need a button to run background
ok friends i think u understood me
please inform soon ok bye have a nice time

Hi Jagadish
There are two ways for you to handle the situation.
1. Train the users to enter the values in selection screen and manually go for backgroung scheduling.
2. Use At user command and within that basing on the option selection selected, use FM:JOB_OPEN with sy-repid get the job number, submit the program with the values on the selection screen and lastly executing FM: JOB_CLOSE with the job number from JOB_OPEN and SY-REPID.
Note that you have to set 'X' for export parameter something like startimmed while calling FM: JOB_CLOSE for immediate execution. Am not on SAP to give you the exact parameter.
Hope the above info helps you.
Kind Regards

How to provide background color to screen elements in screen designing?

Hi all

Hello
I don't think it is posible... change the colour of screen element but you can only change the background color of screen but you can not put any elemnet on that screen using picture control check for program RSDEMO_PICTURE_CONTROL will help you.

How to use Green Screen option?

Sorry this is such a general question, but I have very limited internet access here at work (can't even access Google) and I would like to figure this out before I leave for the day so I can grab what I need on the way home.
We are making weekly comical "newscast" type videos, and we have been using PhotoBooth to make it look like we are in a news room.
I would like to stop using PhotoBooth (due to the obvious extreme limitations in video/audio quality) and use the green screen option in iMovie 09.
Would anybody be so kind as to give a brief couple of paragraphs on the best way to accomplish this?
I have seen the option pop up when inserting a clip on top of another, but which one is the footage/image to replace the green area... the original clip or the overlayed clip?
And is there a specific shade/type of green that works best? Or can I just pick up a dozen yards of general "crayola" green fabric to cover a wall?

I have tried but haven't had much luck. Although I am having a problem with Snow Leopard and iMovie right now. That may be affecting my success. Here are the instructions out of iMovie help.
To use green-screen effects to superimpose video:
Record video in front of a solid green backdrop, and then import it into iMovie.
When you record, for best results do the following:
Use a pure (highly saturated) color of green for the backdrop.
The best color of green to use is often called “chroma key green” in paint and cloth.
Make sure the subject doesn’t have any green clothing, and don’t include anything green in the shot, other than the backdrop.
If possible, use multiple lighting sources to eliminate shadows on the subject being recorded.
Include a moment at the end of the recording with the subject out of the frame. This indicates to iMovie what should be left out when the video is superimposed.
Choose iMovie > Preferences, click General, and then make sure Show Advanced Tools is selected.
In the Event Browser, select video that you recorded in front of the green backdrop.
Drag the selection directly over a clip in your project (video, solid color, or animated background clip), and release the mouse button when the cursor displays a green plus sign .
Choose Green Screen from the list of options that appears.
The green-screen clip appears with a green border around it above the video clip in your project. You can drag it to a different spot to reposition it, or drag the ends to lengthen or shorten it.
To more effectively mask areas of the green-screen clip, select the clip in your project, in the viewer click Cropped, and then drag the handles at the top of the viewer to more tightly enclose the subject of the video.
Anything outside the highlighted area in the green-screen clip is removed from the picture. Be sure not to crop out areas that the subject moves into at any point during the green-screen clip.
To produce a better-quality effect, double-click the green-screen clip in your project to open the inspector, then select “Subtract last frame.” iMovie uses information in the last frame to determine what to subtract from the finished clip.
Selecting “Subtract last frame” works only if you included a moment at the end of the green-screen footage with the subject completely out of the frame.
To watch the clip, click the Play Clip button in the viewer.

Skip background print parameter screen

Hi,
My program has selection screen. This program should be able to execute in foreground and background manually. When every time execute it in background, the background print parameter screen always pop up to ask you fill in the "Output Device" and need to click the green check etc. My client would like to skip this screen, since output from background will be a file in the server. Can anyone know how to program in order to turn it off?
Thanks,
Meiying

Hi,
I am not sure if that can be prevented.
An alternate solution is that you could create a wrapper program with the same selection screen plus a radio button to execute in foreground or background.
And then based on the radio button you could either submit your main program or you could schedule it in background using JOB_OPEN etc function modules.

Background Job and Screen

Hi,
I've created a selection screen by using se51. In my program I call this screen with "CALL SCREEN XXX'.
My question is: How to run this report in Backgroung.
As it's not a standart selection screen (1000) I don't have the option to run it in background.....
Thank for your help.
Joseph

Hi
I think you should insert the part in START-OF-SELECTION in a new program and so run it in background using FM JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE to schedule the job:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     JOBNAME = SY-REPID
IMPORTING
     JOBCOUNT = TBTCJOB-JOBCOUN.
SUBMIT <ZREPORT> USER SY-UNAME
                 VIA JOB SY-REPID NUMBER TBTCJOB-JOBCOUN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

How can I use two screens to display one window

Before Mavericks, MAC OS allowed you to use two screens (next to each other) in order to display one (big) window of one application.
That would mean that a window would start on your left screen en would continue on the right screen.
With Mavericks, however, this not possible any more. The window of the application can only be seen on ONE of the screens (i.e. the left one).
Can any one tell me whether I've missed certain options or how to adjust my settings in order to get this feature back?

Hey CGNL,
First, if you haven't already, set up the displays as an extended desktop:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Then, use Mission Control preferences to uncheck/turn off the option for "Displays have separate Spaces":
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Mission Control
Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces"
That should enable you to stretch whatever window you want across multiple displays.

and

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

Issue while posting the invoice in background using the WF-BATCH user

Hi Friends,
I am facing an issue while posting the invoice in background using the WF-BATCH user. I am using a invoice approval workflow where in when the approver approvers the invoice the invoice document get posted using a background method, which uses BO FIPP and Method POST and i am returning the Message Text to my workflow container from this method. When i see the log an exception is rasied from this method with an error message "V004: You are not authorized to change this document", but WF-BATCH is having SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations. If i try to post the invoice using the method from my user id it is getting posted. What could be the issue. Please advice.

Hi Sapient,
The Parameter, Roles would be different for the LOGIN USER and WF-BATCH.. So ask your administrator
to set the Roles & Parameters similar to that of LOGIN USER to WF-BATCH.
For further refrence check in SU01 giving the LOGIN USER and then check with WF-BATCH... you would
find the difference...
Hope this would help you..
Good luck
