Custom background images in pop-up menus?

Can I use custom background images in FW MX (v6) popup menus?
If so, how can I get them in there? If I can't do it in FW, is
there a way to modify the JavaScript to call on the appropriate
images? And, if I can get custom images in there, with embedded
text, is there a way to make the navigation elements "crawlable" by
search engine bots? I'm trying to achieve a particular visual
effect for my client's website, and use a custom font in the menu
cells -- hence HTML text won't work.
I also seem to be getting a one-pixel transparent space
between the cells that looks weird. Any advice?
Any help is appreciated.
Jeff

Custom background image for 7942 IP phones on CCM 6.1.2

All,
i am unable to create the custom background images for the Cisco 7942 IP phone, i am running a CCM version 6.1.2. I have uploaded the Image files and also the List.xml file, but when i click on custom images i dont see the image that i uploaded and it say "no selection available". And also after i uploaded the files i have restrated the TFTP services.Have attached the images and List.xml files.Please have a look @ them and let me know if i am missing something here.
Thanks,
Rohith

First off, as this is a CUCM question, you'd be better of over in the IP Telephoney forum (
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/ip-telephony )
The thing that jumps out at me is the case of the filename. CUCM Runs on Linux which is case sensitive. Try matching the case.
If that doesn't help, try looking at the phone logs or Wiresharking the phone.

Set the custom background images to default?

Is there any way to set the custom background image to default instead of manually changing the background image in the phone?

This was actually discussed some time ago. Please see this link.

Custom background image

Once a custom logo is configured to use for a phones background image, Is there anyway to deploy it rather than someone having to go to each phone and select it?
Customer would like the custom image to be the only one on the phone.

Hi
No - this is a common request but the functionality just isn't there yet... Which is fairly crackers - every company I've seen wants a standard background...

Custom Background image for UITabBar

I'm trying to implement a custom background for a UITabBar, I am able to add an image view to the tab bar, but for some reason the image is at the top of the view rather than at the bottom. How do I position it correctly? Here is my code.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbarbg.png"];
UIImageView *theImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
tabBgView = theImageView;
[tabBarController.view insertSubview:tabBgView atIndex:1];

Welcome to the forums gravity98...
Try using Interface Builder's 'Tab Bar Item Size' insets to stretch it accordingly...push the top/bottom values around to see the effect. Make sure to select/hilight the icon you're targeting first.

Spry Menu Bar using CSS background image without losing submenu ( V) indicators

Spry menu bar sets the down and side submenu indicators using
a positioned background image. I have a requirement to use a
specific background image yet must retain the > and v submenu
indicators. Without having to generate full width custom background
images for each of the menu item types to include the side and down
menu indicators, is there anyway to use a generic background image
and show the indicators using just CSS?

Don't use reserved words in JS
var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
I hope this helps.

Custom background for UINavigationBar?

Hi,
how to set a custom background image for the whole navigation bar of a navigation controller? I can't find any appropriate API method.
I tried already to mess around with the views of the UINavigationBar to insert my background view - with the result no not-showing buttons and titles :-/
Also subclassing of UINavigationBar with a new drawRect method does not lead to anywhere - there is simply now way to set the navigation bar for a UINavigationController!
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias Huber

Create a category that extends UINavigationBar:
@implementation UINavigationBar (UINavigationBarCategory)
-(void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage*)image{
if(image == NULL){ //might be called with NULL argument
return;
UIImageView *aTabBarBackground = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
aTabBarBackground.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.frame.size.width,self.frame.size.height);
[self addSubview:aTabBarBackground];
[self sendSubviewToBack:aTabBarBackground];
[aTabBarBackground release];
@end
And call this method from wherever you are initializing your UINavigationController:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
// Initialization code
// Create the navigation and view controllers
SinglePlayerRootViewController *_rootViewController = [[SinglePlayerRootViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *_navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:_rootViewController];
self.navigationController = _navigationController;
[_navigationController release];
[_rootViewController release];
// set the image for the top navigation bar
[[navigationController navigationBar] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"NavigationBarBackgroundTop.png"]];
// Configure and show the window
[self.view addSubview:navigationController.view];
return self;
I hope this helps!

Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows. - Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines. The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background. There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus. I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video. All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically". All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode". This disc burned perfectly.
I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus. The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0). There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages. None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above. After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn. That didn't help.
Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with). Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts. There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message. The project just needed to get done.
The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page. Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere. The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc. Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
1. If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project. Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1). If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order. You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
2. As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible. All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied. I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied. Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer. After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced. Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
3. Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu. This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height. I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons. For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour. It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background. I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
4. I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project. There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
5. For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

Deselect the German language in the info box of the app (command+i on the app icon). You will then get a english version of the app.

Can a background image be "frozen" in iWeb '09?

In iWeb '09, is there a way to stop a custom background image from scrolling with the page contents -- I know when doing custom editing without a WYSIWYG editor like iWeb, the script would be:
*background-attachment: fixed;*
But, I don't see any way of altering the style sheets in iWeb itself....

You can use TextWrangler to do the post publication editing and save the Find and Replace values so it will be easier to redo it if you need to.

Need to create a background image for Joomla

I need to create a custom background image for a Joomla site.
Can anyone offer a simple tutorial on the steps I need to take to create the image?
Thanks

Okay. The image has a gold gradient from top to bottom, but the text repeats in smaller blocks.
First, you need a tiling image of some text, on a transparent background. Then, this image needs to be added as a pattern in Fireworks.
Next, you get to use your new pattern. In your document, create a tall rectangle with a vertical gradient. Make this image the same width as your tiling pattern, so that your resulting background image will also tile. Over that you put a rectangle with no color fill, but fill it with the text pattern. Save this working Fireworks document, then export to use on the Web.
I don't understand the phrase "I need to know how to size the image, possibly with CSS." Background images are the size they are. When this image is set to be the background, then it should be specified to repeat in the horizontal direction (repeat-x).
Here's some info on making a seamless tile:

There have been some recent threads on using gradients, just flip back a page or two (unless my mind's playing tricks on me and they're older).

UC320w SPA 525g2 background image

Does anyone know how you can add your own custom background image to the spa525g2? Before upgrading to the uc320w the spa9000 let you easily log into the spa525g2 web interface and downloand an image for you screen, now with the uc320w that part is grayed out and unavailable for change. Don't know why this seems to be so difficult. If anyone has a way to download an image to this phone to use a your main screen please let me know. Thanks

Just got back from cisco tech here are the steps in case anyone is interested in how to upload a picture via usb to the spa525 or spa525g2
If you are going to use a picture from the USB memory device, perform the
following steps:
STEP 1 Connect a USB storage device to your PC.
STEP 2 Create a directory named “pictures” on the USB device and copy the image files
into that directory. Image files must be between 30K and 300K in size. The phone
can only read 45 images from the USB device.
STEP 3 Remove the USB device from your PC and insert it into the USB slot on the Cisco
SPA 525G/525G2.
To change the background picture on your phone:
STEP 1 Press the Setup button.
STEP 2 Scroll to User Preferences and press Select.
STEP 3 Scroll to Screen Preferences and press Select.
STEP 4 Scroll to Wallpaper. Press the Right Arrow key to select an image to use as the
wallpaper.
STEP 5 Use the navigation arrows to choose an image. Press Select to choose the image,
or to preview how the image will look on your phone, select the image and press
View. Press Select to choose the image, or use the Previous, Next, and Back keys.
STEP 6 Press Save.

Background Image file for 7975

What are the file specifications for a custom background image on the Cisco 7975 Ip phone? I mean, the size, resolution, color depth and so on
Thank you in advance

The PNG files for background images must meet the following requirements for proper display on the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
â¢Full size image-320 pixels (width) X 212 pixels (height).
â¢Thumbnail image-80 pixels (width) X 53 pixels (height).
â¢Color palette-Includes up to 16-bit color (65535 colors). You can use more than 16-bit color, but the phone will reduce the color palette to 16-bit before displaying the image. For best results, reduce the color palette of an image to 16-bit when you create a PNG file.

[iPhone] Custom background for UITableView

I'm trying to use a custom background image for a UITableView (or more specifically, I'm using a UITableViewController, but I don't think that really matters because I can access its tableView member). I've tried in Interface Builder but can't figure it out. I'm more comfortable doing my views programmatically anyway.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thanks!

7941/61g background image question

I have added a background image to our 7941/61g ip phones. The image looks good, but the button appearance divider lines are going accross the screen in front of the image. Is there any way to set up the display to remove the button separator lines while keeping the line labels?
I had looked into using the idle url, but found that I had to use an external web server for this. Besides, I am not sure if the idle image would be over top of the button labels. If anyone knows if this is the case I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks,
Mark

The issue is not that I can't get the custom background image on the phone. I have a custom background on the phone, but the line appearance deviders (The lines above and below each line label) extend completely across the display over top of the background image. For example, I have 6 buttons comfigured on a 7961G phone which causes 7 lines to cross all the way across the phone display. If I have 3 lines configured only 4 lines extend across the display.
I am asking if there is any way to remove the lines deviding the phone-line labels that are going across the display over top of the custom background image.
I was at a store the other day and saw that their 7961 phone had a background image and the line labels only had boxes around them. The line label deviders did not extend across the phone any farther than the line label text. This is what I would like to configure. I'm not sure if the phone was useing Callmanger or a SIP server though.
