Change background color of a selected line of text in textfield
I have a list of items in a dynamic text field. When a line is clicked I would like to highlight it, or change the background color. Any ideas?
By default, the generated application uses the oracle skin family. This skin generates the buttons as images with rounded edges so you cannot change the background color. If you change the skin-family to "minimal" in the adf-faces-config.xml, then you can change the background color of the buttons by adding a property like this to the button template:
inlineStyle="background-color:red;"
However, a cleaner way to do this, is by creating a custom skin, so you do not have to modify the generator templates at all. See the following link for more info on ADF Faces skinning:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
In addition, using the Check for Updates feature in JDeveloper, you can install additional sample skins.

Changing background color in a selected jtable row
I have a problem when I call fireTableDataChanged() to change the background color in a table.
If a row is selected neither getTableCellEditorComponent nor getTableCellRendererComponent is called after fireTableDataChanged()...

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
ThanksThe id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
tempResult.add("Item " + i);
choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
VBox root = new VBox();
root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

Change background color during text edit mode
THis is a wacky problem...
I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.

Pages 5 can't change background color in fullscreen
There's no option to change background color when in fullscreen mode anymore.
Did I miss something or did apple just...get rid of it?????why???Hi, Mark,
Under the Format menu select Advanced and the click on Make Master Objects Selectable. Now click on the red area. You'll notice little faint x's at the corners. In the Arrange menu click on Unlock. Now you can edit the color. (In this case a gradient.) When you finish, go back and Lock it again and deselect Make Master Object Selectable.

How to change Background colors in photos
Hi all,
I could use some help with changing background color of attached example. I want to be able to change background of this photo and have a few examples of it with blue, red and green background color.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
DenWith the selection still active apply a Solid Color adjustment layer in a new colour.
Adjust the opacity and blending mode to suit.
Do a Save as... using a different file name and repeat with different colours. -
I am having a problem changing a color in a selected area. Using the Quick Selection tool I am able to select the area I wish to change. Using the Brush tool, color, color mode and click drag in my selected area, nothing happens, no color changes. I have viewed some videos and read numerous articles but haven't found the one to help me. Please point me in the best direction. Thank you Vincent TC
For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head. Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt. I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation. Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it. -
Changed the color of the selected text
I changed the color of the selected text in Photoshop CS6, from black (background) & white (text) to different colors. I want to know how I did it.
Selecting tends to invert the text. Use Ctrl/Cmd h while in Text edit mode to hide the selection.

Change the color of the outer line of a shape
Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
Please help
I'm using Photoshop CS3
thank you
Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.Hi,
With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.

How to change background color in AutoComplete window ?
Is it possible to change background color in AutoComplete window ?
Bob, A.Ankit, you're both chasing a ghost here.
The screenshot shows an autocomplete enabled textbox with its dropdown list of autocomplete values to choose from. There is no property defining its backcolor. Not in the textbox nor in any class, neither any other baseclass nor _combobox of _base.vcx
The only way to chnage that color is not recommended, via changing windows theme colors. That would effect any window and control.
If you need another color even turning off themes won't help as VFP doesn't offer any property controlling that color, so you really would need to implement the autocomplete feature yourself, if you want the specify this backcolor.
Bye, Olaf.

How to change background color in online editor
How to change background color in online editor
Jeff,
if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
Thanks,
