Color fractals using Kuler themes

I've just released version 3.2 of Mandelbrot Explorer. This is free software that allows someone to enlarge the Mandelbrot Set (and Julia Sets) to produce detailed fractal images, and to color the resulting image with a color scheme that the user devises. One of the new features in this latest release is the ability to integrate with Kuler; they can search the themes that have been submitted by the community to Kuler, and then color their fractal image using the theme they select. The work that people put in to devise, submit and then review themes in Kuler can therefore help someone drawing fractals to colour them in ways that are aesthetically pleasing.

Hi rocketboy,
To get swatch values, an alternate to using the picker tool in the product is to directly use the website. You can ge the swatch values by selecting a theme in the browse view and then clicking on the make changes ot this theme button which will take you to the theme creation view with all the color values located at the bottom of the page under the corresponding swatch.

Color Code Used in Theme

Hi everyone,
How can you find out the code for the color used in a theme? For example, the buttons in the "Southwest" theme are an orangish color. I would like the code for it (like F9999 or whatever) so I can use it in buttons that I am creating in HTML.
Thanks!

New Application using Kuler for PPTX Color Themes

Hi @all,
I just deployed the first public beta of my Kolor Theme Wizard. It's a Java based web application and you can search for Kuler Themes an download an Office Open XML presentation file with these colors defined as default accent colors. So you can use Kuler themes in Powerpoint without hacking hex color codes into your keyboard.
I hope you enjoy it.

Please try this, let me know if it doesn't work.
public void configureMarkups(boolean isGreenMarks) {
System.out.println("***KPE*** configureMarkups()");
System.out.println(" isGreenMarks: " + isGreenMarks);
final MarkupBean mbean = this.getActiveVueBean().getMarkupBean();
MarkupEntitySpec spec = mbean.getMarkupEntitySpec();
if (spec == null) {
System.out.println("***KPE*** Why is spec null?");
spec = new MarkupEntitySpec(mbean);
spec.setColor(isGreenMarks ? Color.GREEN : Color.RED);
spec.setFillColor(Color.YELLOW);
mbean.setMarkupEntitySpec(spec);
For the future: please try limiting code snippets to only minimum relevant lines, otherwise it's very hard to come up with quick suggestions...

Kuler Themes in Keynote?

Is there a way to import Kuler color themes into keynote for use in a presentation in Keynote 09. I am able to import entire Photoshop documents as backgrounds, but I wonder if there is a way to use Kuler colors with the Keynote Type Tool. There does not seem to be a way to set colors beyond selecting one of the crayons or eyeballing a color from a spectrum.

Keynote does not use Kuler themes, its an Adobe thing only.
If you want to design using Kuler themes, create your graphic in an Adobe application and use a Kuler theme, save the file as a Keynote compatible file and import it onto a Keynote slide.
There does not seem to be a way to set colors beyond selecting one of the crayons or eyeballing a color from a spectrum.
Keynote can produce what the graphics card can deliver; in excess of 16 million colors using the Mac colour palette. You can set a colour by eye or enter a specific RGB value.

Blee, plugin for Maxon Cinema 4D R12 using Kuler with python

Hi,
I just finished Blee, a free plugin for Maxon Cinema 4D R12 using Kuler with python.
Blee will create for you a layer of materials, each one getting the color from the Kuler theme: you will get 5 materials in a layer named according to the theme title.
check here the screenshot at http://www.mediafire.com/i/?u4qkl9ebt2bb6zk

Sweet! I'm going to download and try it out.

Kuler themes

Hi to everyone,
I read Brent Whitney`s post, and then I got an idea:
In order to make advertisements to your themes on the Kuler
website,
I think we could put in this topic some links to the Adobe
Kuler themes
on kuler.adobe.com; or you could even link to your site when
you`d like.
Well, I`ll start right here now:
My Kuler themes are "located" on:
http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/search?term=userId%3A178582
Yeah - that`s it.
One of my favourite site for every Adobe stuff I want to
share with you is:
www.layersmagazine.com
Have fun and I hope you`ll enjoy my colours and you will link
to your ones (-: ,
Yours Rocky

How can one create a paint color generated from a photo using Kuler?

How can one create a paint color generated from a photo using Kuler?

The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform. There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow. You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:
http://elementsplus.net/
Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
The pattern is much reduced. With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.

Cannot change JToggleButton background color when Windows XP theme is used

I wanted to change the background of a JToggleButton when it's pressed. I tried a few things, such as
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.RED);
setting button's background, button's UI.
but nothing worked.
so I tried changing desktop theme from Windows XP to Windows Classic, then i was able to set button's background.
The following is a simple test program, by switching theme, the toggleButton looks differently.
Does anyone know how I can change JToggle button's background color under Windows XP theme?
Thank you in advance!
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ToggleTest {
    public static void createGUI(){
        JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("Test");
        button.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
        JFrame testFrame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
        testFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        testFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
        testFrame.getContentPane().add(button);
        testFrame.pack();
        testFrame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            //UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.RED);
        catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                createGUI();
}

class myToggleBtn extends JToggleButton {
String s;
public myToggleBtn(String str, Boolean sel) {
    super(str, sel);
    s = str;
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    if (this.isSelected()) {
         int w = getWidth();
         int h = getHeight();
         g.setColor(Color.green); //selected color
         g.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
         g.setColor(Color.darkGray); //selected foreground color
         g.drawString(s, (w - g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(s))/2 + 1, (h + g.getFontMetrics().getAscent())/2 - 1);

Using Kuler file in Flex

Ive started using Flex and found Kuler and really like the
color schemes you can create, its just what I been looking for.
How do you use the Kuler Theme in Flex2 once you download it.
Sorry if this seems like a really dumb quesiton!!!
Roger

Currently, Flex2 does not support ASE color themes. If you
create a theme in kuler that you would like to use it in your flex
application, the easiest way to accomplish this is copy & paste
the Hex color values for each swatch from the create page. You can
then use these hex color values in a css stylesheet used in your
flex application.

Using Kuler + swatch exchange files in Dreamweaver CS3

What is the "best practice" for taking a swatch exchange file from Kuler and getting either the swatches into Dreamweaver CS3 or the html color values.
I like using Kuler to develop test color schemes for my web sites and switching css sheets to determine which colors I like best.
Right now the method I use is save the Kuler thems as swatch excange files, load the swe file into my swatch palette in photoshop, get the html values with the eye dropper tool take those values and paste into my CSS file. Is there an easier way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi rocketboy,
To get swatch values, an alternate to using the picker tool in the product is to directly use the website. You can ge the swatch values by selecting a theme in the browse view and then clicking on the make changes ot this theme button which will take you to the theme creation view with all the color values located at the bottom of the page under the corresponding swatch.

Can't use Kuler on Illustrator CC

I've signed an annual Adobe CC and I have a valid Adobe ID. But I can't use Kuler on Illustrator CC and I'm receiving a message that there's no valid Adobe ID saved.
How can I use Kuler again?

There's another post which I believe will answer your questions. Let me know if something is missing here. Also note, with the change of the name, the panel is called "Adobe Color Themes" or "Color Themes" in cases where there is less room for text.

Using Kuler with InDesign

Hi,
I'm new to Kuler, though recall at some point someone showing me how to use the eyedropper tool from InDesign where you can click on a color in Kuler and use it in the file you're working in InDesign.
Can you do this? If so, how?
Thanks!

As far as I know, there is no connection between eyedropper and Kuler panel. So, if you want to use some color(s) from Kuler, you have to add them to your Swatches panel first, there´s a button for that in Kuler panel. Current version of Kuler creates only RGB colors, if you are making some layout for printing, you should convert those RGB colors to CMYK before using them... otherwise you may end up having some unwanted color shiftings...

Cant use Kuler. Sorry no items were found message

Hi all,
After using kuler for a while, I reinstalled AIR and now I cant connect to kuler. I get "Sorry no items were found", and the application seems to freeze since i have to end the process to close it. BTW, another weird behaivor is that im able to login, but after succesfully loging in, it doesnt do anything.
Any clue? Im running Windows 7 and I googled the solution but only found it for Mac. (yes, i should get a mac, i already know that)
thanks in advance
E.

Hi Gajanan,
Sometimes what happens the documents get cleared at a later date than the date you are viewing them as open item in the G/L Account so system show those line items as open. Please check the documents if they have a clearing document number. If so then see the date of clearing. This will answer your question.
Regards,
Sanjay

Using Portal Theme for a Web Dynpro ABAP Application

Hello everyone,
I've created a web-dynpro abap application that I display on one of my portal pages using a Web-dynpro iView.
Somehow, the WDA app never reads the portal theme properties and has the default SAP roadshow theme colors. I've tried almost everything including passing the theme as an application parameter using WDTHEMEROOT and WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET params.
Documentation states that the application should automatically read the portal's theme, but it never does.
Interestingly, I have one more web-dynpro java application that works fine and uses the portal theme correctly.
Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
Any ideas, suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated.

>Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
What are the release and support package levels of both your ABAP system and your portal? If the ABAP AS has a later release or SP level than the portal, the Web Dynpro framework will always fall back to using the theme of the backend ABAP system. This is to protect the application rendering. Running with a theme (CSS and JavaScript) from an older release or support package level could cause the application to render incorrectly.

How do I load new kuler themes into photoshop CS6

How do I load new kuler themes into photoshop CS6?
That's it, plus the Kuledr desktop app (Mac version) always gives me a Kuler Klash?

Are you sure it is not stand alone? Google Sketchbook Express & Photoshop CS6, and you get no meaningful hits. Google just Sketchbook Express and it brings up links than say stuff like:
If you've just switched to Mac and are looking for a replacement for MS Paint, then SketchBook Express is a fun drawing application that's suitable for everything from a quick doodle to professional sketching.
SketchBook Express uses professional-grade tools that enable you to produce some highly impressive results. The streamlined interface allows for what is known as "gesture-based marking menus" which mean that different tools are available to you at the click of a mouse. However, to get the most out of SketchBook Express, you'll need a pen and tablet device.
