Colour change to buttons

Hello,
I have a series of buttons placed side by side. I'm changing focus from one button to another using navigation keys. Now the problem is the focus is not clearly visible. Is there any option to do it?
I got some idea of using colour change option, when focus is on one button change its colour to some specific colour and rest to some other specific colour. But i'm not able to implement it clearly. so please give me some idea..
Thanking you,
sushmith

If you want to change the color of a button, you have to watch out which type of button you're using. Not all buttons can have their colort changed.
If youre looking for a professional look, you don't want to make a colorbook either by changing every button into another color.
What you can do is putting behind each button an LED indicator which is slightly bigger then the button itself.
When the button have the focus, set that indicator to true. And it will light up.
It's a bit more work, but it look so much nicer.
Personally I don't like to mess with colors. I love simplicity. Thats why I use systembuttons, which have a blue surface already when they have focus
Hope this helps
Kind regards,

nameOfButton.setBackground(Color.*);

How to permanently change the colour of a button

I am using an action to change the colour of a button. This works but the colour changes for only about a second and then reverts to the original colour. How can I make the colour change permanently?

Hi RajeevAdobe,
Sorry I didn't give enough detail. What I want to do is have a page with buttons that link to a number of tasks. At the start only task 1 button will be enabled and it will be a different colour from the rest. Once they get task 1 right they go back to the first page and task 2 button will be enabled and the colour changed. The way I am doing this is if they get task 1 right I set a variable task1Success as yes then take them back to the first page which I am calling the "wall".
So when they first enter the "wall":
Then user goes to task 1.
Using:
Then when they get back to the "wall" I check if the task1Success variable has been changed to yes and if it has I enable the task 2 button and change it's colour using Apply Effect - Advanced - Colour Effect - Advanced.
This all works OK and when the wall first loads it looks like below but the colour of task2 button only changes for about a second I want it to change permanently.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

How to change the button colour automatically????

i want to change the button color automatically ,if there is no data in next page ....plzz help

Hi,
create a binding for the data collection displayed on next page and do
styleClass=#{bindings.iterator.estimatedRowCount<=0?'redClass' : ''}
Then define a custom skin (see how to skin an application in the web developer guide) and use
.redClass .af|commandButton{background-color:red}
in this skin. Now when the page renders or when you PPR the button, the color should apply or not. Btw, the same EL on the disabled property or the rendered property would do the same trick (probably better than just a color change)

Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

Changing quiz button text

I am working on a series of tutorials and quizzes for our
client, I want to change the text on the "Next" button on the
quizzes. It appears easy enough, in the options, Next button text
field, I have entered what I want, but it still appears as "Next"
when I publish it. Am I an idiot?
Please help.

This may be a stupid question, but did you save the file
before you published? I have sometimes had instances of not saving
and publishing first and my changes are not reflected.
Also, if the buttons were already on the screen with the text
"Next" when you decided to change the button text, you'll need to
delete those buttons and then add them again. The text does not
update dynamically.
Worst comes to worst, you can manually change the button text
with a double-click or through properties...
Hope that helps.

iPad IOS 7.0.2 and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Calendar colors do not match between computer and device. Problem did not exist until updated IOS arrived. Colours change of their own free will despite being corrected on both iPAD and MacBook Pro. Any answers?

Please do not post the entire messages log as it takes up unnecessarily a lot of space. It seems that there is a corrupt/nonfunctional file called
[email protected]nt.plist
Go to your hard drive, enter library, go into users, and go into launch agents and delete the thing above. Empty the trash and restart.

Possible to override the remotes "change audio" button?

I'm creating a DVD that has multiple audio tracks for a single video track. I'm also programming in subtitles for the same track(French). The two audio tracks have different versions of dialogue. So, that means that I need two subtitle tracks – one for each audio. I understand how I can use stories and scripts to associate the proper subtitle track with the corresponding audio track,
BUT
my problem is this: it is necessary to allow the user to switch back and forth between the audio tracks whenever they want. So, if a French user is watching with subtitles on, and switches the audio using their remote mid-stream, then I need a way to change the subtitles to match the now-active audio.
The best way I can think of to do this would be to hi-jack the functionality of the "change audio" button on the remote, and make it run a script that changes audio, then checks subtitle settings and changes them as well, if appropriate.
Can this be done in DVDSP? I've found promising entries in the advanced connections display, but they don't respond to my initial attempts.
Thanks for any help.

Hey. Thanks. I hit a ton of pages searching, but missed that thread post. It's exactly the same problem. I suppose my only hope is, fingers-crossed, more DVD players support the targeted scripting of remote buttons these days???
Well. I noticed there were several other programs mentioned in that thread, which I'm going to look up now, but it seems that this is a "supported by DVD players" problem rather than a "my program can't do that" problem.
Something occurs to me. Is this a problem that could be circumvented by going to Blu-ray? DVD SP has a lot of buzz about supporting Blu-ray projects, would Blu-ray players be more likely to support this remote-based scripting???

Move/remove/change RSS button from next to refresh sign (Safari 4.0.4)

How to move/remove/change RSS-button location from next to refresh sign as I'm wasting alot of time everytime when trying to hit that refresh button?
I know I can use keyboard to refresh a webpage, but I really like the easy to use stop/refresh button a-la Firefox (after combining them) in the left side next to the "previous/next page" buttons, and I really hate that RSS appearing on all those websites which provides RSS. I don't use RSS and I don't want to see it when browsing and using Safari.
I hope there is a way to doing that, otherwise I have no choice but switching back to Firefox..
Thanks!

Thanks Carolyn,
but the "debug" menu doesn't appear after running "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" command in terminal. I have Safari 4.0.4
But the idea is great: now I only want to disable RSS.

On Mac. Colours changed after switching to 64bit mode (ver 2.7)

Been using Lightroom 2.7 on my iMac quite happily and after reading a few articles realised it wasn't running in 64bit so changed it.
Now colours are all out, most noticeable on reds:
Before change
After Change
Any ideas why this is happening?
Tried changing back to 32bit and still the same so something has changed.
Thanks
Andrew
P.S Posted this on another forum and just to clarify here also, whilst the above are exported jpegs, these are used purely for illustration. The colour change is happening within lightroom itself, not on export.

After some advice elsewhere it seems I have 'lost' some of the camera calibration profiles.
I only have ACR3.1 and ACR4.4 listed and checked on another machine I used I normally have it set to Adobe Standard.
So, how can I get the profiles back?
OK. Problem solved. Reinstalled Lightroom.
Usually fixes things

Get Info "Change All" button doesn't keep the proper "Open With" app

I have a small but annoying problem that appears in Leopard 10.5.2 (been there since original 10.5.0 install) that I have tried to troubleshoot but can't solve.
The problem is:
-With some of my file types, the wrong "Open With" application is displayed when I view a Get Info for that file type. So to fix this, I open a Get Info window on one of those types of files, and choose the PROPER default application in the "Open With" slot. This works, and then the new proper application name now shows in that slot. So then I click the "Change All" button and apply to all files of that file type. I receive the warning that I will be changing ALL files of that type. I choose "continue" because that is what I desire.
However, once I do that, (click Change All, then Continue button), the old, wrong application name jumps back the Open With slot! So the new, correct application choice doesn't "stick".
Oddly enough, it sort of DOES work, because if I then re-click in the Open With slot, although the old, the wrong application is back listed again, if I look up above that name, then my actual desired application is listed in a list, and it has the word (Default) beside it.
So if I do actually now double click any file of that type, then the proper application DOES launch and open the file.
But why does the Get Info window still display the wrong, non-default application in Open With? And furthermore, this causes all file types of that kind, to display the WRONG icon in any Finder window. They of course display, the icon of what is in the Open With slot list.
I am having this problem only with two file types and apps. (Cubase and Pro Tools---DAW audio apps). All of my Cubase files display a Pro Tools icon, and show as Open With: "Pro Tools" when of course it should display Open With: Cubase. As stated in the Open With list, Cubase is indeed there among other programs and it has the word (Default) beside it. So it sort of works when launching files. But I still cannot get Cubase to "stick" and stay in Open With after Change All!
Can anyone offer any tips on what might cause this and what fix is needed?
Thanks so much in advance!

Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

Can one choose the automatic colour change to an htnl link after using it to make it more obviously changed (currently two similar shades of blue)

having performed a search and visited a paticular web page produced by that search, the colour of the link changes and if found again in another search you know it has already been visited.
In many cases the change is from one shade of blue to another very similar shade of blue and it is very difficult to distinguish between them. An example would be at http://www.archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=(parish%20registers).
Can this colour change be edited to something much more easily recognised?

I had the same issue and resolved it
I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
next I logged off,
then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
Next I reinstall illstrator
after that it worked for me.
