Creating a gradient Background

Hi,
I would like to choose a light pink color (color really doesn't matter, I'm just choosing this color) at the top of my background and have a gradient vertically finishing as white. (Really blocking the light pink)
This would be the background of my page so that the web-site will stand out a little bit.
Can someone help?
Thanks
Steve

Thank you. Your suggestion and the previous one were the same and very helpful
Thanks

JFreeChart Help: Creating a Gradient Background for a CategoryPlot

I need a Gradient Background for my CategoryPlot Object and am having problems figuring out the best approach.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to approach this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

        BarRenderer barrenderer = (BarRenderer)categoryplot.getRenderer();
        barrenderer.setDrawBarOutline(false);
        GradientPaint gradientpaint = new GradientPaint(0.0F, 0.0F, Color.blue, 0.0F, 0.0F, new Color(0, 0, 64));
        GradientPaint gradientpaint1 = new GradientPaint(0.0F, 0.0F, Color.green, 0.0F, 0.0F, new Color(0, 64, 0));
        barrenderer.setSeriesPaint(0, gradientpaint);
        barrenderer.setSeriesPaint(1, gradientpaint1);

Creating a gradient background in the 'Dark room' template

Hi All, having finished my website using the 'Dark room' template, everyone has told me that the background is too heavy.I have tried putting a much lighter gradient fill in instead but it won't go into the main body of the page. I was told at the Apple Mac store that it's probably a design fault, but I didn't have much confidence in them. Can ANYONE HELP PLEASE, as otherwise I've got to start from scratch so they tell me.

Not in the template.
It's an image with the IMG element. Remove the image from the folder and you will see a border.
The only way to remove the image visibly from the page is to replace the spotlight image by an image with the same background as the page.
You do so in the folder of your page.

How do you make a gradient background on a button in flex 4

Hey everyone, this is driving me crazy. Below is my css for a button in file. I want a gradient background on a button in flex 4. I can not for the life of me figure out how to do this. There is no longer the backgroundColors option. chromeColor is only a single color and all the examples I see on the web using fill, and linearGradient throw up errors so I assume these were only in the beta? This is very frustrating to not be able to do a simple thing in flex 4 that worked in flex 3. Any ideas? Thanks.
Button {
cornerRadius: 3;
highlightAlphas: 0.36, 0;
fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
paddingLeft: 5;
paddingRight: 5;
backgroundColors: #ff6600, #ff9900, #ffffff, #eeeeee;
color: #ffffff;
disabledColor: black;
textRollOverColor: #000000;
textSelectedColor: #000000;
borderColor: #ff6600;
fontWeight: normal;

This may not be what you're looking for, but since you are stuck, I'll elaborate on what FTQuest was saying. It will only take a few minutes to do this.
In FB4:
1. right-click the button, choose "Create Skin", give it a package (directory) and name (filename), host component "spark.components.Button" and "Create as copy of" "spark.skins.spark.ButtonSkin".
This creates junk.mxml for you, the skin file.
2. In the source of junk.mxml, change layer 1 (shadow) and layer 2 (fill) colors as I did here in this code. Note that where you see {color#}, this is data-binding to a variable I've made in a color.as file that I've included in the skin file. In fact, that is ALL that I changed in the skin file it generated for me.
snippet from colors.as:
public var color1:int = new int(0xA1D190);
snippet from junk.mxml:
<![CDATA[
include "Colors.as";
layer changes in junk.mxml:


<s:Rect id="shadow" left="-1" right="-1" top="-1" bottom="-1" radiusX="2">
<s:fill>
<s:LinearGradient rotation="90">
<s:GradientEntry color="0x000000" color.down="
{color5}"alpha="
0.01"alpha.down="
0" />
<s:GradientEntry color="0x000000" color.down="
{color6}" alpha="
0.07"alpha.down="
0.5" />
</s:LinearGradient>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>


<s:Rect id="fill" left="1" right="1" top="1" bottom="1" radiusX="2">
<s:fill>
<s:LinearGradient rotation="90">
<s:GradientEntry color="{color2}" color.over="
{color3}" color.down="
{color4}" alpha="
0.85" />
<s:GradientEntry color="{color4}" color.over="
{color5}" color.down="
{color6}" alpha="
0.85" />
</s:LinearGradient>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
You can (and maybe should) hardcode colors in here to do your gradients. After this, your button will need to use the skin, like:
<s:Button ... skinClass="Skins.junk">
... where "Skins" is the name of the package/directory I told it to create the skin in.
This may not be ideal for you, but it's working for me. Regarding having variables for color values, I posted a thread this morning asking if this is the best way to do things or not, so I don't know if it's the way to go.
Hope this helps ...

How to create a Faded background

I'm using Fireworks CS3.
I have created a new canvas and saved it as a .png. I now want to create a faded background. So I select the gradient tool and define the details of the color, etc BUT when I mouseover the canvas I get a circle with a slash through it pointer and I'm unable to apply the gradient.
What do I need to do with a new canvas before i can start applying the gradient tool to it?
Thank you kindly!

The canvas is just that - a canvas. You need to draw a rectangle shape on the canvas using the vector tools, and use the gradient on the rectangle.

Creating a gradient then setting transparency to lighten doesn't work

Hi folks, i'm trying to create a gradient overlay that is set to 'lighten' in the transparency palette but for some reason it creates a total white result?
To, visually at any rate, get the desired effect the only setting that seems to work is overlay but that's not what i want really.
It seems to work fine with 'multiply' the gradient's dark area multiply the background object.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Really? I got 16 hits. Here's the 2nd:
To create opacity masks
To create a mask from an existing object, select at least two objects or groups, and choose Make Opacity Mask from the Transparency palette menu. The topmost selected object or group is used as the mask.
To create an empty mask, select a single object or group, or target a layer in the Layers palette. Then double-click directly to the right of the thumbnail in the Transparency palette. If the thumbnail isnt visible, choose Show Thumbnails from the palette menu. An empty mask is created and Illustrator automatically enters mask-editing mode. Use the drawing tools to draw a mask shape. Click the artwork thumbnail (left thumbnail) in the Transparency palette to exit mask-editing mode.
Note: The Clip option sets the mask background to black. Therefore, black objects, such as black type, used to create an opacity mask with the Clip option selected will not be visible. To see the objects, use a different color or deselect the Clip option.

How to create transparency gradient

Hi
please share how to create transparency gradient
have attached the example

qanibh,
In the newest version(s), you may specify opacity values for the Gradient Fill.
In older versions,, you may:
1) Create the shape with the solid end colour upon the seethrough background;
2) Copy to the front, apply a gradient to the copy, and in the Transparency palette/panel flyout Make Opacity Mask, setting Clip and Invert as wished.

How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

Help with exporting gradient background as jpg

Hi there! I'm totally new to this forum & very new to
fireworks, so go easy on me!
I am designing for QVGA smartphone/PPc screens & find
that when I create a gradient in fireworks MX (version 6) &
then export it as a jpg, on the phone/PPC screen the gradient is
filled with big blocks of colour rather than smooth transitions
between them, making the overall effect more like lines or blacks
of colour than a smooth gradient. I am exporting the jpgs at the
highest quality settings (100%).
Can someone help? Is it just my lack of technique when
blending colours? If so is there a tutorial somewhere? Or can I
export in a different format? The screens I design are controlled
by an xml layout file, & will accept .jpg, .gif & .bmp
Thanks!

Yes, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the bit depth
could be the
issue. Try setting your monitor to 16 bit and experiment with
gradients
at that bit depth. Keep the color range and the tonal range
less extreme
(light blue to dark blue for example, rather than white to
dark blue)
similar an you might be able to get something a little more
pleasing.

3.) I go to Edgehero.js and from there i scrol down to section named as Media - Html5 video / Html5 audio
and i select from there this:
there is a code:
// this will set the video as background of the div/rectangle

Error while creating TO in background

Hi Guys,
I am getting error while creating TO in background using Transaction code LB13.
The error is "No batch input data for screen SAPLSTXBC 0100" this is the screen which comes after saving a TO. Here we can give the printing details. If we are doing the TO in foreground with same transaction the data for this screen comes automatically. but in background it is showing the error.
So help me in getting rid of the problem.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Manasa,
What is your source for creation of CVC? Are you trying to create CVCs from infocube?
Could you try out the following to identify the root cause?
In the create CVC (/sapapo/mc62) variant, uncheck the check boxes for all the 3 checks at bottom of the variant, and also uncheck the "adjust time series objects" checkbox.
Come to "selection condition", and select one or few CVCs from your source (Infocube, or flat file, whatever).
Then try to run the job, which should only create one or few CVCs as per your selection criteria.
If you are able to create CVCs in this way, that could mean that you might be having some issue during some check or generation of time series. Delete the created CVCs and again try to create them by activating the checks one by one.
If the above helps in identification of the issue, then it might be possible to attack and resolve the issue e.g. special character, etc.
PS: You could also try the "load to worklist" option to try to identify the CVC having issue. There you can specify one or few CVCs to be created in one go, and this might help in identifying if there is an issue with a certain CVC.
Thanks - Pawan

Problem with Gradient Background

When I publish my code for the gradient background and view
it on the web I generate a 15 pixel gap between the stage and the
tab bar on Firefox. So when viewed you see the tab bar, then the
default color for the stage background, and then the gradient stage
background. How do I get rid of the gap?
To view the effect please go to
www.arealtaxcut.com/index000.html --- Here is the code:
I did add the HTML tags <center> </center> to the
.html file.

css call in the body tag: <body margin="0"> worked to
bring the entire document to the left, however there was still the
issue of the spacing at the top. After further research this is
what I came up with and it works like a charm.
<style type="text/css"></style>
Rob Dillion thank you for (1) your quick response and (2) for
pointing me in the right direction. Very helpful.

Retrieve the date a file was created in the background

EDITED CONTENT----
Apologies all...I just realized there is a specific forum for this type of question. I will post it there.
Thanks Marilyn for point this out>>>>should have read it first as suggested.
/message/2572763#2572763 [original link is broken]
Hi guru's,
I have a custom application that does some windows directory cleaning based an older than 'X' days setting. I have to do some calculation to determine if the file being processed is older than that number of day and delete it if it is. To determine the file created date I use the method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES from CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. This works great in the foreground but dumps in the background because the handle object reference is not created in the class constructor and subsequently does a call to a "NULL" object.
My question:
Does anyone know of a way to get the date a file was created while running in the background? If not, please read on --- I have another question regarding an alternate approach I am trying.
I have tried the following approach FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to return an internal table with all files in a directory. Works fine in the background, but the created date is not in the return values. Soooooo I looped at the internal table and called this system function:
        CALL 'C_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'
            ID 'NAME'     FIELD tempfile
            ID 'TYPE'     FIELD singleFile-
            ID 'LEN'      FIELD file-len
            ID 'OWNER'    FIELD file-owner
            ID 'MTIME'    FIELD file-mtime
            ID 'MODE'     FIELD file-mode
            ID 'ERRNO'    FIELD file-errno
            ID 'ERRMSG'   FIELD file-errmsg.
This returns the MTime, which is the Modified time (in Epoch time format: number of seconds since Midnight 1 January 1970), but no created time. Does anyone know the ID for the created time? I tried CTIME but no value is returned.
Along with this question: any idea if a FM or Method exists to convert Epoch time to a standard time. I could do the calculation myself....but it seems someone would have already done this. No point in re-creating the wheel.
Thanks so much,
Quack
