Failing filling path (triangle) The background fills instead. What to do?

When I want to fill a triangle with 'fill path' it fails. The background fills instead of the triangle. What's the problem? Does anyone know how to fix this? This is what it looks like.

The colour picker is selecting the background colour instead of the foreground colour.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour. And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select. Do you know how to flip it back? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

In the Color Palette (Window>Color) click on the foreground swatch. A "focus ring" will appear around it.

Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.

Why does the eyedropper tool set the background color swatch instead of the foreground?

Whenever I try to use the eyedropper tool in Photoshop CS5, the eyedroper sets the background color instead of the foreground. I know you can swap the colors with the arrows, but Photoshop used to be able to just put the color in the foreground swatch without me doing any extra manual work. How do I restore it?

Click on Windows and color. There is a setting there to change from
foreground to background. The one with the box around it is the default setting.

In Pages 09' how do I change the background colors on the templates?

I have been trying to change the background on one of the templates from red to green for a while. I can't figure it out and i can't find answers online any where that are helpful at all. I just need to changes the background color to what I want it to be and not what the programs sets them too. Any ideas? I'm totally stumped!
Thanks for the help!

Hi Burke,
Here's the result, using Peggy's suggestion:
Process:
Click on the thin strip of red to the left of the title ("THE THOMPSONS") to select the background.
You'll see the small x in each corner, indicating the object is locked.
Go Arrange > Unlock (or press option-command-L) to unlock the object.
Click on the Fill Color well in the format bar, and choose a new colour from the palette.
Go Arrange > Lock (or press command-L to re-lock the object.
Save the result.

File path problem in background job spool

Hello ,
i have probelm in file path of the background job in spool.
i have selection screen
Radiobutton : p_local
parameter: path1.
Radibutton: p_applicatioserver
parameter: path2.
if i keep program in background job, it will alwas take second option.
Now user selected first option and executed job in abckground. File stored in the spplication server with corect file path name. (path2)
But when i go to sm37 entered job name and checked the spool, it gives me the file path name path1. but i need the file path1 in the background spool. my question whether i need to change the file path name in program or whether i have to change the setting
Regards,
zub

First of all, local is not an option in background job; you can only save to the apps server, and your program should take that into consideration by checking for sy-batch = 'X', for example. You should be checking in your at selection-screen to be sure the user has not chosen local path and file and background job.

Change the background with a bunch of kids? Quirky quick selection tool?

Main Objective: How can I change the background behind a bunch of kids? My quick selection tool is quirky! Like the HS kids in the pic….
The 2nd photo is what I am looking to do.
When I try the quick selection tool, it's all wonky & quirky now. I can't select little bits any more! It just basically takes the whole stinkin' page! What did I do?! Are there defaults?
On watched video number 85 today, I tried to use my stylus and the bamboo pad. (Good grief; that's another story...it moves & I'm not even touching the pad; what's up with that?! Way too confusing, so I gave up!)
Anyway..this is what I need.
What is easier for me to remove the background? The kids? Pretend I didn't say yes to help with this project?
All the video tutorials on how to remove backgrounds is always on a perfect object...not a real life mess of a class. So... HELP!!!
Please.
This is WAY over my head; but I'm trying. Really.

You may find it easier to select the kids than the background. Instead of copying to new layer, create a mask, then you can add or remove as you like.
In the top tool bar click the icon in the middle to add to selection. Then use your option key to remove.
When you are nearing done, you can then refine the mask. If necessary you can use the other selection tool for straight lines, large areas etc. For tight places you may prefer to use the quick mask tool (lowercase q)
Take your time, you will get it. And like I said, using a mask will let you take a breather. It can help walking away for a bit.

Eyedropper Tool sets Background color instead of Foreground

Q: Why does the Eyedropper Tool set the Background color instead of the Foreground color when I click in my image?
A: The reason for this is that the Background swatch is "targeted" to accept the color information passed on by the Eyedropper Tool when you use it to sample a color. You can reset the behavior by clicking on the Foreground swatch in your Colors Palette/Panel. See the image below:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-1902897-1946/Eyedropper-Focus- Infographic.png
No matter which swatch is targeted, you can choose to temporarily sample color into the other swatch by holding down the Option key (ALT on Windows) while you sample with the Eyedropper Tool.
If you'd like to have the current Foreground and Background colors (as displayed in your Toolbox) switch places, simply tap the 'X' key on your keyboard.
Finally, to reset the Foreground and Background swatches to their default of black and white, simply tap the 'D' key.

foreground to background. The one with the box around it is the default setting.

Using a photo as the background when creating a book.

In the 08 version, the photo background could be used no matter which page layout was selected. For some unknown reason with 09, you can only use a photo as the background when you select "two" and click on the choice that has one picture frame as the page layout. When other layouts are selected, to include "two" with the two pictures frames, when you try to drag a photo into the background it will take that picture and add a photo to the page, but not as the background. Instead of having a photo in the background you went from two frames to three, or three to four, etc., with a blank background.

I got it to work. I went to another theme, added the photo to the background and then went back to the Travel theme. I got it to stick. I also could change the layout to more or fewer photos per page and keep the background photo. Not the best solution but at least it worked. Be sure to post a bug report at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

IMovie photos fail to appear in the video?

Why do some photos turn to black when inserted into the project? They fail to appear in the video. Instead, the ones before them replay.

I should add, it was copied in mass storage mode. Maybe I used MTP before.

My APPWorld is Running in the background,cant close it

there seems to be some problem in my appworld.
its running in the back ground cant open it, cant close it.
what can be done

Hello Omkar_Dalvi
Welcome to the Community,
Please Perform a Battery Pull Restart like this While Device is Powered On remove the Battery wait for a min. then re-insert it back wait till the device take a long Reboot.
AND Close Applications Correctly - Avoid using the End key to close applications as this simply minimizes the application and leaves it running in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select the Close or Exit option to exit the application

What is DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE doing in the background

What is the best way to see all the actual SQL's that are being executed in the background when a package is executed?
For an example, I am interested in knowing what DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE package is doing in the background. I've read what the procedures do and I understand the functionality. But I'd like to know how it does it. I wanted to know what create_chunks_by_number_col is doing in the background.

OK - I'm confused.
You said you 'read what the procedures do' but the doc explains pretty clearly (IMHO) exactly how it creates the chunks.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16760/d_parallel_ex.htm#CHDHFCDJ
CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_NUMBER_COL Procedure
This procedure chunks the table (associated with the specified task) by the specified column. The specified column must be a NUMBER column. This procedure takes the MIN and MAX value of the column, and then divide the range evenly according to chunk_size. The chunks are:
CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_NUMBER_COL Procedure
This procedure chunks the table (associated with the specified task) by
the specified column. The specified column must be a NUMBER column. This
procedure takes the MIN and MAX value of the column, and then divide the
range evenly according to chunk_size. The chunks are:
START_ID                              END_ID
min_id_val                            min_id_val+1*chunk_size-1
min_id_val+1*chunk_size               min_id_val+2*chunk_size-1
min_id_val+i*chunk_size               max_id_val
So I am at a loss to know how that particular example is of any value to you.
That package creates a list of START_ID and END_ID values, one pair of values for each 'chunk'. It then starts a parallel process for each chunk that queries the table using a where clause that is basically just this:
WHERE userColumn BETWEEN :START_ID AND END_ID
The RUN_TASK Procedure explains part of that
RUN_TASK Procedure
This procedure executes the specified statement (sql_stmt) on the chunks in parallel. It commits after processing each chunk. The specified statement must have two placeholders called start_id, and end_id respectively, which represent the range of the chunk to be processed. The types of the placeholder must be rowid where ROWID based chunking was used, or NUMBER where number based chunking was used. The specified statement should not commit unless it is idempotent.
The SQL statement is executed as the current user.
Examples
Suppose the chunk table contains the following chunk ranges:
START_ID                              END_ID
1                                     10
11                                    20
21                                    30
And the specified SQL statement is:
UPDATE employees
      SET salary = salary + 10
      WHERE e.employee_id BETWEEN :start_id AND :end_id
This procedure executes the following statements in parallel:
UPDATE employees
      SET salary =.salary + 10 WHERE employee_id BETWEEN 1 and 10;
      COMMIT;
UPDATE employees
      SET salary =.salary + 10 WHERE employee_id between 11 and 20;
      COMMIT;
UPDATE employees
      SET salary =.salary + 10 WHERE employee_id between 21 and 30;
      COMMIT;
You could just as easily write those queries yourself for chunking by number. But you couldn't execute them in parallel unless you created a scheduler job.
So like the doc says Oracle is just:
1. getting the MIN/MAX of the column
2. creating a process for each entry in the 'chunk table'
3. executing those processes in parallel
4. commiting each process individually
5. maintain status for you.
I'm not sure what you would expect to see on the backend for an example like that.

How do I fill in the background in a pdf behind text?

Hi
I am editing an existing form and I've had to add some extra text into a section which had a background colour. However, as you can see, that colour doesn't extend to the new text. Any ideas on how I can make the fill bigger?
Thanks

With Acrobat Professional you can use the Redaction tool to cover the area and add text.
With Acrobat Standard, you can create a form field set to read only, set the fill color to the background color, set text color as needed, set the default value to the text to display and make the alignment left. When all is set flatten the page.
