Forms6i: Item's Prompt background colour

In Forms 6i item's prompts are being displayed with the background colour of the item, instead of the canvas. In the previous version of forms, the prompts displayed with the same background colour as the canvas.
This only happens when the forms is run as client/server. If run as a Web form it does not.
Is there a way around this problem?
Is this a bug in Forms 6i?

OK - my initial problem was I installed 6i on top of a 6.0.5 version. This made the graphics go haywire. Installing PATCH 7 in this was also didn't quite work (I suppose it depends on what you had installed for 6.0.5). I removed Oracle entirely - installed 6i and I only got the inverse labels problem. I then installed PATCH 7 and it worked fine. Oracle have told me that it's "Not a good idea" to install PATCH 7 over 6i and wouldn't recommend mucking around with .dll files. We are now backtracking to 6.0.5 and waiting for 6i's first patch before moving on with this software. Hope some of this helped.

Cannot change datagrid item background colour dynamically

Hello, I am trying to change the background colour of a data
grid item dynamically.
I am using a component for each item with the item_renderer
function
then in the component this is the line i am having trouble
with
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="item_bg"
backgroundColor="{data.status_colour}">
data.status_colour is definatly set and has a hex value,
#FF99CC for example
i tried
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="item_bg"
creationComplete="item_bg.setStyle("backgroundColour","{data.status_colour}")">
it did put colours on the but they were all in the wrong
place, so a completed item should be green but it is coming up with
red (failed)
any ideas??
thanks

You will need to use a custom calculation script, something like:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("Severity1").value;
    var v2 = +getField("Likelihood1").value;
    // Calculate the product
    var prod = v1 * v2;
    // Set this field's value;
    event.value = prod;
    // Default background color
    var bg = color.white;
    // Define the orange color
    color.orange = ["RGB", 1, .33, 0];
    // Determine background color based on the product
    if (prod >= 1 && prod <=5) {
        bg = color.green;
    } else if (prod > 5 && prod <= 10) {
        bg = color.orange;
    } else if (prod > 10) {
        bg = color.red;
    // Set this field's background color
    event.target.fillColor = bg;

Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?

Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.

Doesn't work
^ ^
Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
This is what the fellow is talking about. Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey.

Prompt Background Color in Forms 6i

Hi all.
I try to explain my problem....
I have problems using the property Background Color in forms 6i.
If i try to use another color (i.e. red) instead of color "unespecified" , and then execute the form, the prompt background color is the same with the item background (boths background colors are red). The normal is that Prompt background color are gray not red.
P.S. In Forms 6 patch 7 there isn't problems.
Any suggestions?

This is Bug 1269402, which is fixed in
patch 1 for Forms 6i. The patch is scheduled
to be released next month.

Background colour of Popup LOV

Hi,
The disabled text-box of the popup LOVs in my application do not appear 'greyed' out when viewed in IE (they are fine in FF and GC). I am using Theme 13. Where can I change the background colour? I can't seem to find anywhere in either the template (preferred choice) or even the individual item's options to add the code for the style change.
Thanks
Lucy

Ok. This looks like a bug in the Theme Template.
Does not exactly look good, but better than before in that at least the text and links are visible !
a. Edit the Popu LOV Template from Shared Components for the Slate Theme
b. In Search Field - Before Field Text add the style as given below
<div class="t1PopupHead" style="background-color:#ffffff;">c. Add the above style to Ressult Set - Before Result Set as well
<div class="t1PopupBody" style="background-color:#ffffff;">Might be a known issue, will check it out.

BACKGROUND COLOUR ON FORMS

HI,
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SET DIFFERENT BACKGROUND COLOUR OF THE TEXT ITEM OF A DATA BLOCK ACCORDING TO THE VALUE INSIDE THE ITEM?
Example:
BLOCK WITH 5 RECORDS, FIRST RECORDS'ITEMS BACKGROUND MUST BE RED (CAUSE VALUE IS <0), 2ND AND 3RD WHITE (VALUE >0), THE OTHERS RED.
THANKS

Hi,
In Forms 4.5 - Use the DISPLAY_ITEM built in on the POST_QUERY trigger to set records to certain colours based on their values.
In Forms 6.0, 6i - Use the new SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY.
Have a look at their use in the forms help.
Cheers
Oli

Background colour of div

I have created a repeating region on a page so that a client can add other items - how can they alter the background colour of the complete div (as opposed to just highlighting the text) so that it stands out from the other divs?

Hi Captain Slocum,
Thanks for your patience. I should preface that InContext Editing doesn't explicitly give you the option to change the background color of a container, so what I'm proposing is sort of "tricking" a background color. This only appears to work consistently in Firefox too, since IE will wrap selected text in span tags even if the entire paragraph is selected.
For example, use the following HTML and CSS as a sample:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ice="http://ns.adobe.com/incontextediting">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script src="includes/ice/ice.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color:#6CF;}
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 20px;
.container_elem { margin: 20px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div ice:repeatinggroup="*">
<div ice:repeating="true" ice:editable="*" class="container_elem"><p style="background-color: #00ffff;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in accumsan dolor. Nullam vehicula elementum pharetra. Praesent eu varius ligula. Suspendisse libero tortor, sodales quis luctus sit amet, euismod sit amet leo. Praesent ultricies rutrum tortor eu hendrerit. Donec a blandit magna. Fusce et metus sed arcu dignissim ultrices. Mauris vehicula, elit sit amet porttitor placerat, neque nisl condimentum magna, eget facilisis tortor velit volutpat ante. Mauris tristique dolor vitae justo suscipit ut hendrerit lacus congue. In scelerisque diam in odio venenatis cursus. Nulla ac eros tortor. Sed placerat, odio eget lacinia laoreet, libero nisi rutrum eros, ac faucibus mauris mi id metus. Maecenas ut mattis turpis. </p></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
To create a new region, duplicate the original.
Select all of the text within the new region and apply a highlight color.
Edit the text.
This should change the background color of the <p> (which also includes the padding around the paragraph) giving the appearance of a "container".If you give the .container_elem class a width you can create a sidebar appearance.
Is this what you're trying to accomplish?
Best regards,
Corey

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.

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

My iTunes 11.0 (mac) has a black background colour and I can not see all of the information. How do I change the background colour in iTunes 11.0 (mac)

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.
Peter

Background colour in pages document

Is there a way of having white as my background colour for my document and using white script?

Peter, thank you for your response.
I wasn't trying to lock horns with you.
Your story about your sister in law made me laugh.
To be certain, I am NOT arguing that black text on white background is less legible
[I'm sure you are correct that it is more legible. That would stand to reason].
I am saying that staring at lots of white light hurts my eyes and I don't like looking at it for a long time.
I'm sorry you disagree with what I have experienced that applies to me personally over many years.
However,
I don't think that's superstition.
That's years of personal experience, related to my own personal eyeballs [not yours].
To drop pretensions of science,
I'm afraid what this boils down to is I can't be told what I like to see, or look at for long periods, and what is more comfortable for me personally.
To use a very rough analogy :
Would it be more painful for you to stare at a very intense little ball of light [or a few of them] / [or a neutral-coloured ball of light] against a dark night sky?
OR at a few black dots in front of , perhaps not the sun, but some other similarly but far less intense light across say, the sky as a backdrop, all of that light shining in your eyes?
Would you rather try and read small text on a dim lightbulb, or against a fully-lit lightbulb?
You may be different. I personally prefer the text on the more neutral lightbulb.
I'm perfectly happy to be surprised, but I don't think you were addressing a slightly separate topic: legibility, rather than photoreceptors being bombarded with hot-light all day.
While legibility is a factor related to eyestrain, I would suspect for different reasons,
and ultimately, what negligible-difference I may lose in legibility is far-more than made up for by not having to stare at a flat panel beaming hot-light into my eyes all day.

How to change the text color of a label by using RGB values without changing the background colour?

xCode interface builder:
When I try to change the color property of a label's text by using the RGB values, the background color also changes to the same value automatically.
in other words:
While setting the RGB values for text colour of labels, the background colour also changes unless we use the sliders.
How to make sure that only the color of text changes and not the background?

You can simply do this.
[labelname setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:38/255.0f green:171/255.0f blue:226/255.0f alpha:1.0f]];
