Hello
But if I try to add new iconic buttons and try to create the jar file once again and restart the listner..
1.) Do you mean restarting the OC4J instance?you have the start the OC4J instance when you create the jar file.
2.) Did you deploy the new jar file in the <oracle_home>\forms\java directory ?

How do you display a color palette for InDesign

I would like to have a similar color palette displayed that is used in PhotoShop for my InDesign work. Right now when
clicking on a swatch color it brings up the rgb or cmyk sliders, but I would like to have the full color spectrum available
to select from as in PhotoShop

You can acess the color picker by double clicking the strok or fill proxies in the tool box or color panel rather than the swatch, but Keep in mind that this is an RGB colorspace tool, and the potential for doing great harm to spot colors or CMYK mixes is tremendous if you exit with the wrong set of values highlighted, so I generally recommend giving it a wide berth.

Suddenly, the text color palette displays off the top of the page until I click it, creating an constant unnecessary extra step when selecting color. After searching extensively, I cannot locate any way to change this. Any suggestions?
This bug is driving me nuts. Anyone else having the same problem? Have you solved it?
Thanks!

Sorry, Peter. I cannot. When I click to capture the screen, the palette disappears. Perhaps I can better describe it: when I wish to select a text color, I used to get a drop down palette. Now the palette is "dropping up," so it disappears off the top of my screen. I have to click into it to get it to drop down so I can see it. So, every time I want to pick a text color, I now have this extra step to deal with.
It started suddenly, seemingly out-of-the-blue.

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

Color Palette Extension

My stylesheets tend to get long at times and I find I am
constantly fishing around looking for colors to use. So I asked a
friend at work about it and he created a dremweaver extension that
will pull all of your colors from your css ot html fil and display
them all in one place.
Another cool feature is the ability to import the colors from
the web.
I thought it was a cool extension to share, completely free
just install it and let us know what you think!

That *is* interesting. Thanks for explaining what you meant by "color migration".
According to this Adobe resource, an earlier version of the Color Palette panel (v.1.2) shipped with CS3—which might explain why it reappears after reinstalling the application. (The one you downloaded from fwkit.com was presumably v.1.25.)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/color_palette_panel.edu.html
A while back, I sought out an earlier version of this panel for use with FW8, but I was disappointed with the functionality and haven't used it much. It's just conjecture on my part, but I don't think the panel would be causing the "color migration" problem, particularly if it's not active in your workspace. I wonder if it's a color management issue. I'm thinking that Fireworks doesn't deal with color profiles, whereas Illustrator does. If an Illustrator file is saved with an ICC profile and then imported into FW, some translation might occur. Try saving the file without an ICC profile before importing to Fireworks, and see if the results are better. Also, have you experimented with sharing color palettes between the two apps? At the very least, this might be a way to fix those "color migration" problems with a minimum of time loss.
Also, don't forget FW's Find panel (accessible through Edit>Find...), which allows you to search and replace colors.

WIN - UNIX: color palette

Hi,
How can you port as color palette definition file from win -> unix and get your custom colors displayed
Form help guide takes you only to the point of creating a custom color palette and using it on windows - not actually deploying it !
I've tried to overwrite the unix default.pal with my windows custom color palette definition file (also named default.pal on windows)
No custom color palette is defined under tools-preferences-color palette
I can compile the form fine on unix
Any ideas ??

Way to go and find the answer in the forum.

ADD a Color Palet in a Combo box

I need to create a Combo box with a Color Palet, as soon as the user clicks lets say on green on the palet that color is selected.
Please any help will be appreciate.

Here is some code I wrote from a couple of years ago. The class to concentrate on is the ColorMenuButton class. This does not use a JComboBox, cause this can be tricky to implement. It simply uses a JButton and a JPopupMenu that displays Color Icons which can be selected.

Flash 5.5 on Lion crashing when choosing a color from color palette?

When coloring an animation, Flash crashes on me every 3 minutes or so, when picking a color with color picker (first displaying wrong color). Or when choosing a color from color palette or color popup in a tool. It sometimes works, but often crashes when doing one of these things.
Is there a fix for this i didn't find?

PSE7 - Problem Displaying Color - Help!

Okay, I have an issue that just started. I've been using PSE7 for over a year now and never had this issue before.
When I select a color on my color palette and then hit the bucket icon to fill a space, the color seems to do okay. When I select the eye dropper tool to select a color from an object and then try to fill that color, it comes out yellow everytime. It is not the color that is being used/displayed.
A few days back I added some colors to the color palette. It seems to have been happening since I did this. I reset the palette, but still the error.
I hope I explained it properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to go back and select the brush tool and paint it all in. And I should mention when using the brush tool to color in the space, it works fine. The color is correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Becky

Unable to view color palette properly in Oracle Reports 9i

I am using Oracle Reports 9iAS. But in the Report Editor, I am not able to view colors in the color palette. Colors are there in the palette(because when I point the mouse over any cell, it will display the color name in the status bar).
What can be the possible reason? If any one is having any idea, please reply.

Hi Rony,
What Reports version are you using (eg, 9.0.2.0.0)? Since you are running the Report Builder, please specify the iDS version, and not the iAS version. Also, what Operating System are you running on?

Color palette problems using Toolbar and ImageList ActiveX Controls

I'm using Toolbar and ImageList ActiveX controls to implement toolbar functionality in a top-level VI.
I designed the icons used in the toolbar with a 256 color palette. When I initially added the icon images to the ImageList control and ran the VI, the icons were properly displayed in the toolbar, as expected. After saving VI, exiting LabVIEW, and reloading, it appears that a different palette has been applied to the images in the ImageList control. I'm attaching a screenshot of the problem as well.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem before? Any suggestions you provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Animated gif changes color palette while playing

Hi everyone,
I've been creating animted gifs using Matlab and the ImageMagick suite (convert). If I open the gifs in Preview, the color comes out fine in each frame; however i I use Quicktime (which is necessary, that's what we use for presentations) the color palette will change as the frames play.
I just got the newest version of Quicktime, hoping that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar to the software but I can guess what is happening.
Too many colors. A GIF is 8 bit (256 colors) but some of them are not used by all software. Windows and Mac's are different.
Does the software offer a way to reduce the number of colors used? Can you get it down to 8 bit? Can you discard unused colors with some other software?
Have you considered building an image sequence movie? These allow many different images formats and support up to 32 bit formats (millions of colors).
QuickTime Pro ($30) can import a series of images as a movie. The file size is much smaller than any video format used today (just the total of the images file size).

Display color problem - asking for a color solution

So I have this serious problem with my Macbook Pro.
Some months ago I suddenly saw green colors in black area's and pink line colors in white areas.
Text on white background was extremely frustrating to read, since it was surrounded with small pink lines and flickering.
Note this was only near max white and max black areas of the screen.
I found out that it was due to a hardware failure, since slightly bending the laptop (!!) would remove the problem
Attaching an external monitor doesn't show the defect, and booting in Windows 7 (bootcamp) still shows the same screen problem.
Searching the web, it appears that it was a NVidia related heat problem, known to my model, but the offer to get it fixed for free by apple (since it was a known issue) had already run out december 2012 (!!). I think my laptop is about 3-4 years old, and the battery pretty much died on me the first year, probably due to heavy usage and the graphic card getting too hot. There are small sweat/corosion marks of where my hand are placed when typing, on the aluminium, due to how hot my laptop got. It sometimes got so hot I couldn't touch the aluminium on the top left corner near the 1-2-Q-W keys.
Fixing my Macbook is too expensive. Just getting someone to look at it to diagnose it (without repairing it), costs a lot in my country, and we have no official apple store, only authorized resellers. I know it's probably the motherboard, because I tried to unscrew the backlid and gently touch certain area's on the motherboard with a pen, while the computer was still running, to find out where the short circuit was. I only started this kind of trying to "self service" it, because I knew how expensive replacing the motherboard would be (if that was even the issue?).
I have multiple times tried to place something up against the sensitive area's on the motherboard, and then screw back the backlid, to put some pressure on it, which at first worked brilliantly and removed the color issue for some weeks, before it started reappearing. I think the heat from the laptop slowly makes the motherboard adapt, and the problem returns. Extremely frustrating indeed.
I hope I can one day afford a Macbook Air, but until then, I don't want to throw more money after my poor macbook (which I pronbably can't sell anyway, like previous mac's I've owned, the day get a new. It's too worn out + battery got only 5min on a full charge).
I think it's wisest to rather save the money for a Macbook Air, and try to survive until then. Therefor I was hoping someone could help me with a temporary solution.
In Windows 7, using the Nvidia Control Panel to apply color management, I was able to adjust the individual color output values, and thereby remove the the screen issue! Maybe the colors are not as good anymore, but it sure beats not getting a headache after 10minutes trying to read an article.
I tried the same thing on the mac, using Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate, but this guide is much harder to use to get a decent result (since only the last 2 options really makes a difference, but changes the colors completely, which I can't change by going back to the first color settings since then it just undos the last step I just did. I'm currently writing this with a very blue pale screen.
I also tried to use ColorSync Utility, expecting to enter values manually, but contrary to the articles I read about using ColorSync, I cannot edit the values in the color profile I created (I can only change the ASCII text input fields). Trying to save the profile gives me the error 'The Document "screenbug.icc" could not be saved.'
I tried to look for alternative color calibration software, but most of them required hardware, or expensive full version to unlock the settings I needed (like SuperCal).
I hope some tech savy users out there that can help me, or at least make my life with my macbook less of a pain.
All help is much appreciated!!
PS: I've been a loyal Mac user since always. Few things I've learned is:
1) Don't buy the first version of new hardware. Wait about a month for reviews, to check for issues. I had a problem with an expensive MacPro that had to be replaced, but luckily for free since it was Apple's mistake. Sometimes Apple products also get minor internal changes/fixes without announcements, to help solve reported issues from early buyers.
3) Take care of you Mac, especially so because you can often sell your used Mac's for quite a value the day you want to upgrade. I've sold about 3 Mac's in my lifetime, for quite a gain, though I don't expect this macbook to do as well, if at all. But it's normally something to be cautious about.
3) Don't order custom configurations from the Apple Store, if you can live without it (+ it's usually crazy overprices). I payed extra to get the NVidia GeForce 9600M, and was happy with it for the first couple of years, but is now causing me all the problems I have today + made my Macbook worthless.
Stick with what the default configuration if possible, as other configurations might not have been tested carefully.

Who exactly is your comment "I am asking you to fix this problem soon" directed at?
Remember that you are posting on a user to user forum so nobody can really help you. If you want to give feedback to Apple, then contact them directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Also, if you have an iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 is the latest software that you can install on your phone, then there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to fix the problem if you want to install Skype that requires iOS 4.3 - what do you think anyone can magically do?
iPhone 3G is a very old phone now and if you want to install Skype on your phone, then you need to go out and buy a new iPhone - either a 4s or a 5. Nothing more to it. Buy a new phone.
