Changing Slide Show Background Colour
Being a newbie to this forum, I am not sure if this has been asked before, if so I apologise in advance.
I have set my site up using the black background as it is a photography related site and the black lends itself well to the photographs.
Is there a way of changing the parameters of the slide show to change the background colour from white to black ?
Any help appreciated.

I guess you are not publishing to .Mac
Here are some alternative slideshows for non-.Mac publishing (with black backgroudns)

Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?
Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.Doesn't work
^ ^
Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
This is what the fellow is talking about. Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey. -
Change 'Elegant Brochure' background colour
Hi there,
Making a brochure for our wedding (using the option under brochure of 'Elegant Brochure') to go along with the invites. Is there any way we can change the brown background colour to match our wedding's black, red and white theme colour while keeping the pattern in the original colour scheme? Basically just want to change the brown background to a light red.
Thanks for your help.
Message was edited by: Cheeky WhiteyClick on the panel. Note the little Xs? That means it’s locked. In the Arrange menu choose unlock. Because the panel is a JPEG instead of a shape, bring up the Adjust Image pane and use the various sliders to produce the color you want. It might be a good idea to Lock them again after you change the color.

A problem changing applet's background colour
Hi there,
I'm hoping somebody can help me with what I believe to be a problem I have in changing the background colour of an applet, the source code of which is posted below. If super.paint(g); is commented out, the background of the applet will be changed to whatever colour is specified, however if it is not the background will remain grey. As I understand though, super.paint(g); should be part of the program. What am I doing wrong? Should super.paint(g); in this example be part of the program?
Before posting this I searched the forums and looked at some of the Q's & A's about changing an applet's background colour but am non the wiser.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,

//Dispaly the results of the calculations to the user
g.drawString( "The numbers entered are " + userInput1 + ", " + userInput2, 25, 25);
g.drawString( "The sum is " + sum, 25, 40);
g.drawString( "The product is " + product, 25, 55);
g.drawString( "The difference is " + difference, 25, 70);
g.drawString( "The quotient is " + quotient, 25, 85);You could try defining
public void update(Graphics g) {
paint(g);
}That's the only difference I see between your code and my applet code. If that isn't it, you could try getContentPane().setBackground(...) but I don't know how that could make much difference (I would think that the content pane is transparent...)
Another possibility is that, if you're using Swing, you probably shouldn't be overriding paint() and should stick to the paintComponent() method or whatever is appropriate. -
Using downloaded songs for slide show background music
Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!
In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes -
Is it possibe to place a slide show background behind a spry accordion
i have found a background image transition slideshow on
http://www.willmaster.com/library/features/background-image-transition-slide-show.php
i cant get it to work yet - but am hoping to use it in my website
http://mandyevansartist.com
and was hoping someone could tell me if it will work or not - or if there is something i need to research for it to be possible ( gramps mentioned an "event listener" to load the javascript after the spry - is this one of those moments)
kind regards

Cannot change datagrid item background colour dynamically
Hello, I am trying to change the background colour of a data
grid item dynamically.
I am using a component for each item with the item_renderer
function
then in the component this is the line i am having trouble
with
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="item_bg"
backgroundColor="{data.status_colour}">
data.status_colour is definatly set and has a hex value,
#FF99CC for example
i tried
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="item_bg"
creationComplete="item_bg.setStyle("backgroundColour","{data.status_colour}")">
it did put colours on the but they were all in the wrong
place, so a completed item should be green but it is coming up with
red (failed)
any ideas??
thanksYou will need to use a custom calculation script, something like:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
// Get the field values, as numbers
var v1 = +getField("Severity1").value;
var v2 = +getField("Likelihood1").value;
// Calculate the product
var prod = v1 * v2;
// Set this field's value;
event.value = prod;
// Default background color
var bg = color.white;
// Define the orange color
color.orange = ["RGB", 1, .33, 0];
// Determine background color based on the product
if (prod >= 1 && prod <=5) {
bg = color.green;
} else if (prod > 5 && prod <= 10) {
bg = color.orange;
} else if (prod > 10) {
bg = color.red;
// Set this field's background color
event.target.fillColor = bg; -
How can I change the sms background colour?
just upgraded to IOS7 on my Iphon 4s...don't like the over-bright white background on sms....how can I change the background colour for text messaging?
There is no option to change the background color in the messages app, other than selecting settings>general>accessibility>invert colors, but this changes the colors of everything.

Background changing/slide show
I am developing a new site (and am new to Flash) and am
wondering if:
1) It is a resource or time hog to have a web background that
rotates through a series of pictures
2) What is the best way to rotate through (i.e. put a
different picture on different key frames?)
3) What is the best format of the picture to be in? jpeg?

How do I change the message background colour in mail,(2013)?
I'd like to be able to do this.
I send a lot of photos,(for my biz as an art photographer), and they would present FAR better on aa grey or black background than on the harsh and glaring white background.
I haven't figured out how to create a coloured background template for the Stationary plug, or that might be an option.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciate!You can't do that, but you can change the visual properties of the display by selecting Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Calibrate...

Batch colour change for iPhoto slide shows?
My G4 Powerbook is correctly calibrated to produce beautiful, true prints from my Canon 5D. However, when I want to show these shots in a slide show the colour is over-saturated. It looks terrible. My projector is a Mitsubishi HC 1100. No controls on the projector will allow de-saturating. I have tried other types and brands with same result (BenQ and Panasonic).
I experimented by de-saturating a shot in PS by 20%. It now looks fine on the projector screen but washed out on the PBook.
Is there a way to de-saturate my slide show of 400 shots in iPhoto?
Hope someone can help.
WillBWillB:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. With the projector connected launch ColorSync Utility (located in your Applications/Utilities folder) and see if it's recognized and there's any way to change the color profile it uses. You can do that for printers with their drivers so it may be so with the projector.
I believe GraphicConverter and do a batch desaturate but you'll have to export those files out of iPhoto to a folder before running GC.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Is there a way to change default background colour?
Hi,
I am frequently embedding U3D files into adobe acrobat and every time I need to manually change the "default" background colour from grey to white in the Show Advanced Options tab of the insert 3D dialog box.
Is there a way to permanently set the default background for all inserted 3D files to white instead of the grey default?
Thanks!No.

ITunes 11 how can the window background colour be changed from white to black in Grid View?
How do I change the window background colour ,in Grid View, from the new, default, white back to the good old, more easy on the eye, black?
Apple did this to us in iPhoto some time ago and had to add a preference for shades of grey other than white. Why didn't Apple learn from this mistake?It is good to know I am not alone. The first thing I did after downloading iTunes 11 was go into preferences to change the background color. But alas, the option for a dark background is gone. I also was kind of disappointed in the lack of ability to resize the artwork, but not to the extent of some other commenters here.
I will say this though. I love the way the albums expand with custom colored backgrounds based on each album's artwork colors. This looks fantastic. Still it would be nice to accomodate those who prefer to use a dark background for the overall application's theme.
So, Apple, I join with my fellow users in requesting the return of resizable artwork, and the option for at least a dark (or an even further customizable) background color for the overall theme of the application. Thanks!
Godspeed,

How to change background colour?
Hi
I have an image with a statue and different background colours. I want to change the complete background colour around the statue in one colour for example white. I tried several times but it doesnt work. Do you have a suggestion?
Thx
DomHi Dom,
You've asked about a technique that many beginner Photoshop users want to learn. The challenge is that this technique requires learning a few tools and skills before you start. I would recommend the following:
1. Learn about how to make selections. Here is an image with the blue background selected. Here's a video about making basic selections.
2. Learn about layers and masks and how they work. Below is the same image with the blue background hidden. This video teaches the basics about the Layers panel.
3. Create a new background layer to replace the old one. Below is the image with a new solid white background on the layer below the original statue layer.
Once you've learned about selections and layers, try following the technique Russell Brown uses in the video below to create a simple selection of the current background and hide it by using a layer mask. Once the old background color is hidden by the layer mask, the layer beneath is revealed and it replaces the old background.
Good luck with your project! I hope this helps.

I am in the process of writing a package and want the end
user to be able to pick their own background colour (Within reason)
For my sins I used the getfileproperty and setfileproperty
whilst writing the package but they don’t work with a
published package.
I have also tried drawing a box and changing that colour, but
would still prefer to change the package background colour.
How do you change the background colour?If I remember right there's no way to change this at runtime.
Only solution
I can think of is your box in the background idea, setting
the box to a
layer that will keep it below anything else. Also you need to
attach a
calculation to the display that sets movable:=false
