Change image background of a shape with applescript in keynote

Hi,
I want to create an applescript that allow to change background fill of a shape in keynote.
I saw background fill type is r/o ( I guess read only ), but can we change only the image file if the shape is in image fill state with already an image.
I work with an mac book air, mac os mavericks, keynote 6.
Thanks.

In your assignment statement you should remove the "string(....)" XPATH method. So if you use
xpath(BookMessage,"/*[local-name()='BookMessage' and namespace-uri()='http://UntypeMessage.Book']/@*[local-name()='Author' and namespace-uri()='']")=AuthorName;
it will work. Now the Left-Hand-Side of the expression does evaluate to a node set (in this case it would evaluate to an XmlAttribute).
Regards.

Changing Image Background

Hello,
I have watched more than a dozen videos on changing the image of a background Each time I try it myself it doesn't work or the edge of the image is rough. Is this topic considered advanced? I am just starting on CS5. Is there any way to reduce the learning curve?

It really depends on the nature of the images you're working on like what type of foreground subject vs. what type of background you're trying to change. The new selection tools in CS5 are very good - the best yet within Photoshop, but getting the most out of them is not beginner's stuff. I've watched some of the tutorials myself, which helped, but there are too many advanced tricks that make the selection process work seamlessly for most tutorials to begin to cover. I've spent a lot of the last week masking out frizzy hair and can say that a combination of the Quick Selection tool, Refine Selection using Smart Radius, Layer Masks and finally the Layer>Matting>Remove White Fringe command are very effective. Those are the tools. The best way to use them is the advanced part. As far as shortening the learning curve, I don't think there is an effective way to do that. Photoshop and all its tools are a very complex set and it takes time to learn and master. I've been at it for fifteen years now and am learning more every day.

Changing which Resolution and Main Monitor With Applescript

Hi all,
I am trying to make an applescript to change my monitor settings.
I have 2 monitors the one I want to be my main one "E2370" and my second one "L2000CN" which I want to mirror the main one.
My main problem is that I do not know how to change the "Optimize for" combo box settings to E2370 on the event that it is not already set to that.
What I have so far is:
tell application "System Preferences"
reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to tell window "E2370"
try
click radio button "Arrangement" of tab group 1
on error
click radio button "Display" of tab group 1
--click the first combo box
end try
if value of checkbox 1 of tab group 1 = 0 then click checkbox 1 of tab group 1
do shell script "sleep 0.25"
click radio button "Display" of tab group 1
click radio button "Scaled" of radio group 1 of tab group 1
click radio button "Scaled" of radio group 1 of tab group 1
select row 3 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1
do shell script "sleep 0.25"
keystroke (ASCII character 3)
keystroke (ASCII character 3)
end tell
--quit application "System Preferences"
Thanks in advance.

What format (codec) is the material being editied?
Sounds like you are editing a non-native format (something like h.264). If that is the case, convert it to ProRes LT and try again.

Change a divs image background

Is there any way to change a divs background image in edge animate? The background image is defined by an external css file but at a certain point on the timeline, I want to fade in the new background image. Any ideas?

It all depends on how you want to set it up.
If you want the images to auto change you would put the code in the timeline like this:

Re: Change the image of the image Background panel

What i need to do is to create a swing component with a changing image background abilities.. can anyone help me with it.. its urgent.. thanks!!!

Hi.
Please see code below. I hope it help you.
Change the image name at the constructor of MainFrame.java and put that image to folder with class files.
MainFrame.java:
import javax.swing.*;
public class MainFrame extends JFrame {
public MainFrame () {
    ChangeBGImage panel = new ChangeBGImage();
    panel.setImage("ukr.jpg");
    getContentPane().add(panel);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
public static void main (String[] args) {
    MainFrame frame = new MainFrame();
    frame.setSize(400, 300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}ChangeBGImage.java:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ChangeBGImage extends JPanel {
Image image;
public ChangeBGImage (Image image) {
    this.image = image;
public ChangeBGImage () {
    image = null;
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    if (image != null) {
      Rectangle rectFull = new Rectangle(0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height);
      Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
      BufferedImage buffImg = new BufferedImage(image.getWidth(this), image.getHeight(this), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
      Graphics2D g2d2 = buffImg.createGraphics();
      g2d2.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
      TexturePaint imagePaint = new TexturePaint(buffImg, new Rectangle(0, 0, image.getWidth(this), image.getHeight(this)));
      g2d.setPaint(imagePaint);
      g2d.fill(rectFull);
public void setImage(String imageURL) {
    MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);
    image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
    mt.addImage(image, 0);
    try {
      mt.waitForID(0);
    } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
public void setImage (Image newImage) {
    image = newImage;

Changing template background from a powerpoint presentation in Keynote?

Is simple to change the background template from a powerpoint presentation in Keynote?
In powerpoint it is very simple but I need to know if it is also in keynote and how, of course without erase the data from the presentation. I have many powerpoint, excel and word files from MsOffice 07' and I need to know if I can change to iWorks without problems and if it will take me to much time to do it.

It could not be simpler; click on Themes in the tool bar and select a theme:

How to change desktop background in AppleScript in 10.7?

I'm just now upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7, and I'm having trouble with a script that I wrote that worked fine under 10.6. In part, it executes the following command:
     osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" to set destop picture to POSIX file \"<path>\""
to change the desktop background image to one of two different files based on other conditions.
In 10.7, this command completes with no error code, but it only changes the background of one of my four desktops. Is there a way to programmatically change the background image of all of my desktops simultaneously? Failing that, is there a way to a) find out how many desktops I have and b) loop through them, setting each of their backgrounds in turn?
I did search the web and found the following suggestion:
     osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to set picture of every desktop to \"<path>\""
Unfortunately, that also changes only the current desktop's picture.
The larger script is in Perl, so I'd prefer a technology that works well with that language, but if I have to change to a different scripting language, that's not the end of the world.
Thanks much for any suggestions!
Richard

Actually, “repeat with k from 18 to (18 + N - 1)” was not a good idea, since it works only with N < 5, as I discovered after posting the script.
So here's an improved version of the previous script that should work with any number of desktops:
set theFile to POSIX file "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Isles.jpg" -- just an example
-- Find out how many desktops you have:
tell application "System Preferences"
    reveal anchor "shortcutsTab" of pane id "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
    tell application "System Events" to tell window "Keyboard" of process "System Preferences"
        set N to count (UI elements of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of tab group 1 whose name begins with "Switch to Desktop")
    end tell
    quit
end tell
-- Loop through the desktops, setting each of their backgrounds in turn:
tell application "System Events" to key code 18 using {control down} -- Desktop 1
tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to theFile
repeat (N - 1) times
    delay 1
    tell application "System Events" to key code 124 using {control down} -- ⌘→
    delay 1
    tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to theFile
end repeat

An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
end tell
end tell
so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
thanks in advance for any and all help with this

According to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

How do I change the Background Color of a Shape in iWeb?

I am adding a comment bubble from the Shape menu for one of my photos. Everytime I try to change the background color of the bubble I end up changing the entire background color of the Web Page.
How do I only change the background color of the shape?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Kyn,
Perhaps you (or anyone else!) can help me with this too: is it possible to change the color of the border styles that you choose for the thumbnails on a photo page? There is no "fill" option in the Graphic pane of the inspector when I select one of them. I love some of the styles but would like to be able to match the color better to my pages. See here for an example:
http://web.mac.com/mousie/iWeb/Site/Recount.html
The twirly border is a little too orange for my taste.
Thanks in advance.
