Black page background flashes grey when zooming on images

When I'm previewing my book on iPad I see that when I zoom in on an image (single image gallery widget) the page background which is black flashes grey momentarily. This happens on ipad but not when I preview on the mac.
Seems like the page wants to revert to the default white background everytime I click an image widget. Any way to set a book wide black background color? I currently create the page background colour by placing a black rectangle object in the background.
Thanks anyone for any tips!

It seems there's a default setting when zooming on images that fades the background from white to black (I guess Apple is presuming all pages are white)? Anyone who have pages with colour background notice this?

Page background flashing

In Safari the page background flashes white when pages change.
This does NOT happen in Firefox or Opera.
Must have something to do with the fact that you can't set page color AND background image repeat in iWeb. One or the other, but not both so the page is flashing white before the background image loads and repeats. Or this is some sort of cache image, where the background image is not being cached so it has to reload on every page change.
Anyone know of a workaround for this situation?

Thanks for your reply!
* Use less objects on a page
Pretty simple pages. Not much there.
* Use less color differences on a page.
There are no color difference on the pages.
* use smaller objects on a page.
One small graphic and two very small background images being.
* keep the page simple.
It is extremely simple.
Further thinking makes me wonder if it had to do with the fact that whole new pages in new folders with redundant background images are created for every page.
I wonder if loading the same background image from the "root" folder rather than all the redundant folders will solve the issue?

JButton background turns grey when clicked

Hi,
I have a JButton that I have customised by setting the background colour to beige and hiding the border using setBorderPainted(false). I have also got rid of the outline that normally appears when you click it using setFocusPainted(false).
My problem is that when I run my applet in a browser and I click on a button, the background flashes grey while I'm clicking. This only happens in the browser - when I run it in JBuilder there is no problem. Can you help?
Thanks!
David

Unfortunately, this is a consequence of having the UI logic separated from the button component. In order to change the button's selected/pressed color, you have three options:
1) set the UI to your own custom UI (see http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/sce/). You don't have to implement a whole new UI, but you'll still have work cut out for you if you're not familiar with this.
2) change the color for ALL the buttons in the application usingUIManager.set("Button.select", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(0,0,0)); Obviously, you should specify a good color.
3) create a subclass of JButton, call setContentAreaFilled(false); on it, and paint it yourself.

How can I remove the thin black border of Flash movie when viewed in a browser?

There is a thin border at the top and left margins of my Flash movie when the .html is viewed in a browser. How can it be removed?
Here's the movie.
One solution suggests replacing some code, but the code they suggest replacing doesn't even exist in my html file.
I have found questions similar to mine being asked all over different forums, but their solutions either don't work, or like the above, don't really apply. For such a common problem, finding the solution is getting a little frustrating.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Windows PC rrunning XP professional.

Okay, I found the answer. It turns out that when I made the buttons in Flash (so the movie would have clickable links), the default stroke color was set to black. Change it to white and the outline is gone.
As for appearing only on the top and left of the movie - for some reason the bottom and right is being cropped a bit when it's placed in to the html page. But that's a topic for a different discussion.

Repair Tool Performance Problem when Zoom on Image

Aperture Friends,
I experience a huge performance hit when editing images with the Repair/Clone tool only when "zoomed" into an image. The curious part is that the repair while "zoomed in" function works fine for about 3 images, then from the 4th image on, the software grinds to almost a complete stop for several seconds after selection a source point and trying to use the repair. The mouse cursor even changes to a spinning rainbow DVD look during this time.
These are 15-20MB Raw files from a Canon 5d and we are using the most recent version of AP on a nearly brand new iMac 27", of course with Snow L, and all patches applied. The library is less than 20GB and we are not using Reference files as of yet.
I realize that these may be large files, but it is curios that it works with blazing speed to start with, then degrades.
Is this a common problem, or an identified issue? Might you more experienced folks know a resoulution?

hi!
i'm experiencing a similar problem on my imac i5 with the difference it is slow all the time. even after a reboot it's quite impossible to use the clone/repair tool. my library is about 40GB with referenced files (all on external HD fw800). i work with a 5D Mk II (which is still not supported for tethered shooting, by the way!).
(sorry if i nicked your thread )
best regards,
günther

How to stop web background from resizing when zooming in an out?

Sorry, just realised how to do it ...But I'm faced with another problem...the size of the background varies per page? its fine on all the other pages except two pages where it shrinks a bit

Blacks are Clipping in Aperture when zoomed in?

My monitor (iMac 20", last Matte generation) is calibrated using the Huey, and it works great except for this one problem, in which Raw files are displayed with some sort of black clipping when viewed at 100% or full screen size. However, the correct blacks can be seen in the Loupe, here is an example:
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/snwyatt/ApertureProblem1.jpg
I have been plagued by this in every version of Aperture since 1.5.x to the newest, 2.0.1. The problem has been narrowed down to the Huey profile, and how it is read by Aperture, because every other profile (default iMac, manually calibrated iMac, etc) has proper consistency between the all levels of zoom and the loupe.
It doesn't look too bad in these images, but it also leads to harsh gradients and extra noise, which are a hassle to deal with. The images show the proper blacks when exported as a Tiff or other jpeg. And it is not the Raw file format (.cr2), it does the same thing with every Raw format I've thrown at it.
Any suggestions? The colours are spot on with the Huey and I love Aperture, but this issue has been driving me nuts.

2.2 gamma is fine for monitor calibration with Aperture (it's even what Apple/Aperture recommends).
Your problem may be tied into the type of monitor profile you are creating. I had an issue in 2006 with Aperture v1.1.x. It turned out that Aperture was fine with Matrix monitor profiles but it did not like LUT monitor profiles.
When I created a LUT monitor profile then I got shadows blocking up and posterizing in Aperture.
I have not checked to see if this problem was corrected in 10.5 or in Aperture 2.0, possibly not because it sounds like what you are describing.
Here's the thread from last spring:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=469271&tstart=0
As I recall from the time too (in other threads on the forum) there where issues with the Huey that Shea is describing. It only created LUT type profiles and did not have options in its software (Spring, '06) for matrix type profiles.
For example, a MacBeth/X-Rite Eye-one Photo with Eye-one Match 3.6.x gives you the option to output either Matrix display profiles (the default) or LUT display profiles.

Why a black box (or fuzzy "i") when opening an image?

In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i" - were the image should be, what has happened? All other options appear as normal but if I click "edit"for example - my options become unavailable and still have the black box were the image should be.
All other folders in Events are fine and no such problem occurs. In checking "preferences" nothing has changed as the problem folder preferences are the same as the others - likewise not aware I've changed anything either. I've gone into 'help" but just cannot find anything there unless I'm looking into the wrong place?
Currently I'm on OS "X" 10.6.8 using iPhoto 09 - 8.1.2 (424) which hopefully will assist too?

In your first post:
In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i"
In your most recent post
Currently no ! appears now, just a black box.
These are different issues with potentially different resolutions. Assuming that there is no exclamation mark warning, but just a black screen:
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
but this is just one folder with 211 images - all other folders are fine and working as expected. Reading what you have written, you are referring to the whole library which seems to be extreme?
This is not just one folder or just 211 images. What you are seeing are symptoms of an issue in the Database file. If this file is damaged then your Library is damaged and this is what needs to be fixed. That's why deleting and re-importing won't help. You'll be re-importing to a database that is known to be damaged and unstable.

White flash appears when using external images...

I have made this animation which uses 3 external jpgs
http://www.prototype.red2design.co.uk/envisage/index2.aspx
as you can see once it has gone round the 3 images there is a flash
of white. I noticed it is actually the very first frame. there is a
delay before loading the pics therefore it flashes (i think).
I have managed to do it with xml ok but i need the mask i
have created as don't want a standard blur transition.
here is a link to my flash files
http://www.prototype.red2design.co.uk/envisage/envisage.zip
if anyone can help it would be muchly appreciated

haven't looked at your files but maybe check you timeline
where the "belmont" image is (At the beginning I believe). Could be
a keyframe holding one state different from the rest of the
timeline, or your not starting from the beginning of the
timeline.

Page flashes white when loading

I have black pages that flash white when loading. I hate
that. Long ago I found the fix. Suddenly today that fix does not
work. It's the insertion of these items:
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
bgcolor="#000000"
Does any one know what to do about this? Thanks.

The easiest method is to set the stage color to black in
Flash, then
save and publish. But I think I see where you can work with
the
existing code.
As you have it now, it does not flash white when Javascript
is turned
off, so the problem appears to be within the <script>
section.
Try adding 'bgcolor','#000000', to the AC_FL_RunContent()
parameters.
AC_FL_RunContent(...'height','500','bgcolor','#000000',...)

Setting a page background colour

Hi everyone,
Im new to InDesign, and am (or at least i thought i was), in the final stages of completing a brochure (A4 landscape format) for my photography business.
The brochure Im creating is intended as both a downloadable pdf and also for viewing on screen.
My issue is this:
Ive somehow managed to set it up so that the page background colour is black, which is what I want, as my text alternates between white and a shade of grey.
However, when I PDF this document, or try to physically print it, the pages show up as white, and so a lot of my white text does not show and the grey text looks almost invisible.
Can someone please enlighten me as to how I actually achieve what i would like to - i.e. black pages.
Many, many thanks in advance.
Stevieboy1970

Thanks for your reply.
I figured that would be the way to go. Though I'm getting a glitch when using image gallery widgets where the background colour flashes white when zooming on an image on the final ipad book. The background fade effect when zooming is set by default to start from white I presume. Hope they fix that soon.

Any solution to pixelated images when zooming?

Wondering if there is a solution to prevent pdf images on transparent background from pixelating when zoomed in.
This is a screen capture. There are two knife images. The large white knife is a pdf on a transparent background saved at 108 ppi in photoshop, it is part of a object state/slide show (saved as vector obviously since type is sharp) that fades in. Doesn't seem to matter what size/dimensions I use, it still gets blurry when you pinch and zoom.
See here:
The smaller black knife image at top left is also a pdf on transparent background, saved at 108 ppi in photoshop. It is not an object state,etc.
The knife images look fine at full screen on the iPad, but once you pinch and zoom, both images loose focus and become blurry.
Any solution to this? The images need to be pdf (or png - which I understand will not scale at all), because they are on transparent backgrounds.
Thanks!

Setting page background colour

When setting page background colour I am currently using the shapes tool to create a colour rectangle to place in the background.
Are there any other ways to set page background colour, say to set a book wide preference for page colour, or any alternative method at all?

Thanks for your reply.
I figured that would be the way to go. Though I'm getting a glitch when using image gallery widgets where the background colour flashes white when zooming on an image on the final ipad book.

A 1 pixel gap appears on webpage on the ipad or when zoomed on a Mac with Firefox 4

I'm having an issue with a website having a 1 pixel gap under various OS's and browsers.
http://www.coffeeandcream.ca/
When viewed on an iPad it shows a 1 pixel gap on the right side of the link icons. When you zoom on the iPad, the gap disappears and reappears at random zoom factors.
When viewed on my Mac Pro under Firefox (version 4) it is fine to start, but when zoomed, random images have the 1 pixel gap sometimes above and below or to the left or right or sometimes both above/below and left/right.
I'm not over worried about the behaviour of Firefox...since it is only when the page is zoomed.
When I view it on my Windows PC, I have no issue with the gap under Firefox 3 or 4, or IE.
Any thoughts on what is going on?
Thanks in advance,

Have you thought of entering the following code at the very top of your CSS file?
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0;
                border: 0;
This should reset the browser of your iPad and FF in Mac. I use neither so I can't test it at my end. the above code is not likely to affect any other standards compliant browsers.

Installing AcrobatPro after removing Adobe Reader Safari displayed pdf urls only as a black page anymore

After installing Acrobat Pro it installs in Library/Internet Plugin-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin version 11.0.03. Allthough after selecting a PDF-link it leads to a displays it not in Acrobat Pro, it diplays it as a black page in Safari. When I have a look in Acrobat Pro into the preferences/internet/webbrowser-option/PDF to show inBrowser with: isnt checked! And there is still listed/Application/Adobe Reader.app instead of /Applikation/Adobe Acrobat Pro!!
There is no way to select this Applikation. Having a look at Lbrary/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist listed:
AdobePDFDriver file://localhost/Volumes/Sicherung%20laptop/Applications/Adobe/Adobe%20Acrobat% 209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/
ReaderInstallPath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
WebBrowserUsePath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
Has anyone changed the ReaderInstallPath file or WebBrowserUsePath file to the path of Acrobat Pro and as a result a good diplay of PDF-urls in Arcobat Pro or Safari??
Thankx, I hope my english isn´t to bad for a german apple-user!

Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?
