Formating in Jabber (Background Colour)

Hello,
I noticed recently that iChat sends with the XHTML-IM stanza always the background and font colour settings. Which look like this:
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="background-color:#C0E668;color:#000000" >
Which annoys some people who are using other Jabber client than iChat. And I personaly believe it should be avoided. Of course I could set it to white, like this:
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000" >
But I would prefer that it wouldn't sent at all, so this line would look like this:
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Does anyone know a way to do that?

Does iChat > View menu > Show as Text change it ?
You can open a Text chat to anyone and not send anything to enable (Darken) the line that is responsible for this choice. (A Text chat window has to be open for the line to be active)

  • RTF text with background colour - formatting lost in editable RTF export

    Hi
    I have designed a report in CR2008 using XSD datasource.
    I have a field which returns a RTF text. The text comes out correctly when I run the report. 
    Scenario:
    1.Background colour (eg Yellow) has been applied to the field
    2.RTF text contains paragraph breaks
    Result
    The background appears for each paragraph and where there a para break, there is white space. In other words, I want the background colour to appear for the entire field. Right now, it appears odd because I have white spaces between each paragraph with the background colour for each paragraph
    Example:
    Text is as below (with RTF coding)
    In a bad mood? Don't worry   according to research, it's good for you.
    An Australian psychology expert who has been studying emotions has found being grumpy makes us think more clearly.
    In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision making and less gullible, his experiments showed.
    While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine.
    My export type is Editable RTF. The background colour is maintained when you choose Word for Windows option or PDF (but this is not what I want to use in the report). Can the background be maintained for Editable RTF? Is there a work around for this problem?
    Thanks

  • How can I change the background colour when working on a doc in full screen view (pages)?

    Recently I have been working on docs without the distraction of having to see my desktop around my page file by using the full screen view in pages. I do find the contrast to an all black screen too harsh though and it makes my eyes more tired than seeing the clutter of my desktop around the page. Is there any way I can change the background colour?
    Any help much appreciated!

    When you are in Full screen mode move the cursor up to the top to show the Format bar. Then look to the far right. There you'll see Background  and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and change the colour.
    For information on Pages download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

  • Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello All
    When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
    Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
    Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
    The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
    This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
    What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Some additional details.
    CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
    Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
    Windows XP Professional
    Thanks

    If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
    As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
    Thank you

  • Drop shadow affects background colour when printing to PDF

    I have a diagram in AI format with drop shadows against a coloured background. When I print it from Illustrator to PDF, the background colour around the objects with drop shadows is slightly out, leading to a "blocky" effect. Also, some lines that overlap with the drop shadows are thickened.
    I've embedded the diagram in a FrameMaker file and the same problem is evident when I create a PDF from FrameMaker.
    The problem is partially solved by saving a copy of the file as an EPS, and embedding this in the FrameMaker document. The "blocky" effect then goes away, but there are still some overly thick lines.
    Here is what the PDF image looks like:
    Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this problem.

    All the colours in the picture are process colours. I found the page  you refer to earlier, but it didn't seem to apply to my problem. Thanks  anyway.
    I've read around the Web, and it looks as  though the problem is to do with the fact that drop shadows are a raster  effect rather than a vector one. I think this means that the areas  around the drop shadow get rendered in RGB, while the rest of the  diagram is in CMYK.
    Anyhow, as I said, the problem  seems basically to have been that I wasn't using a high enough quality  set of job options for output.
    I inherited these diagrams from a previous colleague, and by selecting "HQ Print with bleed marks" I get them as good as he got them, though as I said the thick lines are still there (as they were in his documents).

  • Desk top background colours.

    Some time ago I was able to use the colour palette to achieve a more acceptable desktop background colour than that supplied by Apple. And I've now forgotten how I did it!! Strangely, none of the formal books seem to recognise that this offers a hugely pleasing alternative to Apple's solid colours.
    Could anyone draft a step by step path to achieve this aim.

    Hello
    There is a way, but it's a little more complex than the usual "Mac way".
    Create (or find) a 1-pixel-square transparent image (.png format is fine). If you can't locate one, here's one I made earlier: http://public.me.com/thecliftonfamily (download the 1x1.png file)
    Save this file somewhere, and go into your Desktop Background chooser (through System Preferences - Desktop, or by right-clicking on your desktop). Now drag your 1x1 image into the image well (or browse for it). Here's the trick: change the "Fill" option next to the well to "Center". You will now see a colour box to the right - click it and it'll generate a colour wheel from which you can set the colour of your choosing.
    Best,
    Matt

  • White border in cell when adding background colour.

    In Numbers for Mac. When I add a background color there is a white border inside the cell. How do I have the entire cell filled with the colour? I go through, the 'format'menu, 'text','layout', 'border' and 'background colour'.

    Use the Cell tab to apply a fill color to the cell instead of applying a background color to the text.

  • Setting a page background colour

    Hi everyone,
    Im new to InDesign, and am (or at least i thought i was), in the final stages of completing a brochure (A4 landscape format) for my photography business.
    The brochure Im creating is intended as both a downloadable pdf and also for viewing on screen.
    My issue is this:
    Ive somehow managed to set it up so that the page background colour is black, which is what I want, as my text alternates between white and a shade of grey.
    However, when I PDF this document, or try to physically print it, the pages show up as white, and so a lot of my white text does not show and the grey text looks almost invisible.
    Can someone please enlighten me as to how I actually achieve what i would like to - i.e. black pages.
    Many, many thanks in advance.
    Stevieboy1970

    Thanks for your reply.
    I figured that would be the way to go. Though I'm getting a glitch when using image gallery widgets where the background colour flashes white when zooming on an image on the final ipad book. The background fade effect when zooming is set by default to start from white I presume. Hope they fix that soon.

  • Background colour for page for readability

    In Microsoft word, I can change the background colour of a page to make it easier to read - good fro proofing long documents. Can't work out how to do this in Pages.... Don't want to print a colour, just to read comfortably....

    Sue,
    You could slip a colored Shape behind the Text layer. You just have to remember to remove it or change its color when you print.
    Insert > Shape > Rectangle. On the Format Bar, click Floating and, if necessary, No Wrap. Size the rectangle to cover your page, set the Fill Color, Arrange > Send Objects to Background.

  • Boring set of desktop background colours.

    A few months ago, soon after I first bought my Mac, I managed to achieve a choice of the full spectrum of colours for my desk top background colour, ending up with a delightful shade of grass green. I've no idea how, but now, wanting a change I can't find anything in desk top / screen saver except the same old boring set of solid colors and I can't seem to access the spectrum ball at all in relation to desk top.
    Incidentally, clicking on screen saver has of late resulted in a frozen screen and the beachball (Agh), necessitating the use of 'force quit' to return to normality.
    Can anyone set out an uncomplicated route to help give a change to my desk top ? Big thank you in anticipation.

    The background is just for the preview window.
    The spectrum ball is a part of the built it colour menu, easily accessed with command shift C or show colours in various apps.
    To get your apple green background using just apps available in Leopard.
    Open TextEdit > Format > Show fonts which brings up the font menu with various options along the top of the window. Forth box from left contains a blank page icon > click on the blank page and choose your colour from the colour menu.
    The TextEdit window will then be your colour > Make a big as possible > use command shift 3 to take a screen shot which will be on your desktop.
    Double click screen shot which will open in preview > draw a cropping box with the curser as big as possible > Tools > Crop > Save in User > Pictures.
    Access pictures folder from System prefs > Desktop >>
    An easier way would be to use a graphics app but not as much fun
    Maybe Paintbrush

  • How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues.  I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

    I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment.  Think before you make changes to your software and programs.  You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
    At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour. 
    A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

    Hi Tricia,
    I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g:  "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
    The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
    I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers.  We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck

  • Changing background colour for a new Workspace page

    Thanks for any suggestion!

    Eddy,
    This forum is for workspace manager - a database product that has no UI itself. I'm not sure what product you are using, but it's not WM.

  • Background Colour in Pages 5.0.1

    Knowing how Apple likes to have everything sent electronically, and not printed, I am surprised that I can't change the background page colour of documents.
    I can change the background of a word, sentence and paragraph. I can even select all the text on a page and change the background colour of that.
    But there is still a white border all around this document, where the margins, headers and footers are.
    It looks really NAFF.
    Anyone got any ideas please.

    Make a page size rectangle, color it and send it to the back or make it a master object.
