Reports (10.1.2.0.2) developer crashes when I try to import a color palette

I had enough with this Reports Developer tool. Did not have this problem with 6i version (have been using for years) and do not have problem with changing the color palette with Forms in the 10.1.2.0.2 version. But the :(!@#$%! reports keeps crashing when I try to change (import) a color palette. The only option available is the Export color palette, the Import is always greyed out. This report that I am trying to change the color palette was originally designed with 6i reports tool and I am porting it to iAS format. It is running on Linux. If I start a new report (from scratch) in iDS (reports tool), then I have the paper layouts uses the new canvas of the iDS. But if you try to open up an old report, it shows the old color palette and does not allow importing the proper new color palette. I had no problem with changing the color palette when porting 6i forms to 10gR2 forms. Whe the hell the reports is not working? It supposed to be the same process to import a color palette. I need to port this old reports into new iAS format and this stupid color palette stuff is holding us back.
Any step by step instructions to import a color palette in Reports, is appreciated. Write it for dummies please - I am tired and need step by step instructions please. I never liked the Reports tool (contrary to Forms) and I hate it now.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Color Palette custom color deployment

Hello,
I'm using Forms 9.0.4. I created a custom color called 'tooltext' in the default color palette. Then I created a Visual Attribute called TOOLTIP_VA that used 'tooltext' as its background. Finally I set the Visual Attribute for some of my Tooltips to TOOLTIP_VA.
Now when I run this in Forms Builder the tooltip colors come up OK. I transferred my FMB file to the Linux formserver and compiled it there to FMX. When I run this form it works too. So I was assuming that somehow the RGB for my custom color is encoded in the FMB file. Is that right?
I acually expected this not to work (I didn't expect the RGB to be stored in the FMB). Curiously enough when I convert the FMB to XML the RGB for 'tooltext' is NOT in the XML file. However the string 'tooltext' is in the XML file. What's up with that? Does the FMB have the actual RGB values for 'tooltext'? If not, how is it getting the color correctly when I deploy to the forms server? I'm not deploying any PAL file, just the FMB.

Forms .fmb files contain a color pallette. If you create a new form, and put nothing in it, then save it, it will be at least 32k. If you edit it with a generic text editor, you will see lots of sequences of rgb numbers.
It is pretty strange that Forms stores the color palette -- completely unnecessary, I would think. Seems like they could just store the rgb sequence of your custom color rather than store the whole palette. I wish they would remove the color palette from the fmb, because there are other bugs related to colors caused by the reliance of a color pallette.

Color Palette troubleshooting

I'm using various custom palettes in Tiger and everything's OK as long as I use native OS X apps like Pages, Mail, text edit. But when I do access to my color palette from a non-apple app, like Dreamweaver or Flash, the scrolling list that allows me to shift form one color list to another stays blocked and I got no way to make this working. I need to trigger the "esc" tab on the keyboard to close the list. Any ideas?

You can switch around your color settings all day. None of this matters if your system isn't calibrated and mis-tweaked, which, to put it simply, is the sole source of all your problems. You have instated an unsuitable color profile or monitor setting without actually working calibrated whereas your co-workers are eitehr totalyl lucky to have a proper calibration or they simply don't care and all the default sRGB settings work just fine.

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.

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 ?

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).

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 ....

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

Adobe forms:Data view palette not showing any fields present in the context

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a static adobe form by following a step-by-step tutorial.The steps I have followed are:
1. Created an Interface with just one field in the Import parameters (apart from the default one).
2. Created a form by using that interface and included that field in the context .
3. Activated the form and wennt to the layout of the form.
4. I should be seeing that field added and activated in the context in the form but its not there.
What could possibly be the reason for it.Please guide me.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I am working on Adobe Form when I open it in change mode I am unable to see the below options in it.
Always I could see only the preview of pdf output. I tried for the option in Palette by right click on the pdf form->Right Click->Palette but it has options Border,Accessibility etc but no option is related to DataView or Hierarchy palettes.
I am looking for Dataview and Hierarchy Palettes to be displayed on the left side of the form.
Please share if any ideas.

Custom Color Palette - Chart Designer

Hi all, I need to change the colors that my pie chart uses. You can do this in chart designer under the global settings section. The property, color pallete has 4 selectable entries, Frog, Streamline, Tradeshow, and Custom. By selecting "Custom", this means that I can choose the exact colors that I want to use, right? If so, where and how do I specify the colors for my custom color palette. Any reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Rich Heilman

Hi Rich,
Did you go through my post here https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/profile?userid=397656 ? I`m not 100% sure that you are able to do this using only Chart Designer. The problem is that you need association between series data id in cutomization XML and data XML. If you know such id on design time, you can re-design my example by moving generated piece of XML from WD to static customizing XML.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Custom Color Palette for Charts

Hi all,
Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
Thank you and kind regards
Silvan

Carola,
Dirk Mayrock has a nice list here Design Studio 1.1 Full List of CSS classes (?)
I think you have seen that already.

Custom color palette in WAD charts

Hi BI Experts,
we are trying to create a custom color palette, which we want to apply to all your WAD charts.
Can anyone tell us how to do this?
Of course we can customize the colors in each chart, but that's a hell of a lot of work. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any way to save the custom colors, but we have to recreate the colors with the color picker for every single chart.
The WAD chart wizard allows to choose between color palettes "Enjoy", "Streamline", "Tradeshow" and "User specific".
If it is not possible to create a custom color palette, can we modify one of these SAP color palettes? What does "User specific" mean?
Any help will be much appreciated (and of course rewarded with points).

Moin, bei dem Problem kann ich leider überhaupt nicht helfen. Solltest Du allerdings, wie ich annehme, in Göttingen studiert haben und dann ein paar Jahre in den USA gewesen sein, dann melde Dich doch einfach mal, so Du Lust hast.
Besten Gruß,
Andi
