How can I make a indicator transparent grey?

Hi,
I would like to make the background of a string indicator transparent grey on the FP. No Problem making it either transparent or grey, but I don't know how to make it transparent and grey at the same time.
Would anyone know?
Labview 8.5. & XP
Thanks a lot,
Marc

I'm not sure I follow you.
If you make a control or indicator transparent, that means there is no color.  Whatever is behind goes through.
If you make it grey, then it is grey.  It is not transparent.  You can't have both at once..
Now, do you want to see something underneath the control or indicator and see it as grey?
If so, then make the control / indicator transparent and color whatever is in the background grey..
Or maybe I totally didn't understand what you want to do..
Can you post an example code of what you want to do?

  • How can I make a page transparent in InDesign CS4?

    Hello and thank you all for your help in advance!
    I would like to make a page transparent in InDesign.
    When the magazine is printed it will be an overlay page with font printed on it where you can still see the image underneath. I was wondering if this is possible.
    I'm not quite sure if it has a technical name to it or not so I uploaded a picture of what I'm speaking about to Tinypic.

    (routes and lines on top on the semi-transparent page, map on next)
    Thanks for your help!

    will these subjects actually be printed on separate pages or do you want to overlay some images on one page with type on the same page?
    If the former, add and use layers; if the latter design one page and save it as a pdf. Place that pdf on a lower level layer, lock the layer, and work on a higher layer.

  • How can I make a window transparent but keep its objects opaque in Cocoa-Applescript?

    How can I do this in Cocoa-Applescript, Xcode? As well, is it possible to blur the area behind where the transparent window is?

    You can set the window transparency with something like:
    theWindow's setBackgroundColor:(current application's NSColor's clearColor)
    theWindow's setOpaque:false
    I haven't seen a way using public APIs to blur behind the window, but I'm not sure about using ASObjC with stuff like Core Image, anyway.
    You might also try something like setting the background to a gray color and play with the grayscale and alpha values (colorWithCalibratedWhite:0.0 alpha:0.2, for example).

  • How can I make a movable transparent main window (HTML, not FLEX)?

    Hi all-
    I'm new to AIR and coming up to speed quickly. I got a sample application up and running right away and was able to give it a transparent main window so that the corners are rounded and there is no window title bar.
    However, I can't figure out how to make it so the user can drag the application around their desktop when they click on it.
    I've seen a few FLEX examples of this but I have to work in HTML.
    Does anyone know how to set this up in HTML?
    Thanks,
    Nicholas

    "Works pretty much as I'd expect, except clicking and dragging one of the child controls in my window (e.g. a button) moves the whole window as well."
    Most user interface events (mouse up, down, etc.) "bubble" up from child elements to their parents. Since you are listening on the body element, your handler is called for every mouse down in the page since the body is the highest parent in the document.
    You can either:
    Attach the event listener directly to the element used to drag the window.
    Check the event target property to check whether the target of the event (the element moused) is a drag control.

  • How can I make a picture transparent in Keynote

    So I'm helping my kid with a school project with a simple Keynote presentation.  I know how to make the whitespace around a shape in Powerpoint blend in with the background, but I can't figure out how to do the same in Keynote.  It's a simple small square pic that he wants to use for a Wild West presentation.  I've read where people have done some import/export of images into photoshop, but that's not an option for us.  I've exported the imaga and saved as a .png and re-imported it, but still no-go.  Can anyone help?  It's a Mac, and shouldn't be this difficult.  We've got Keynote '09.  Yes...'09 on a MacPro running 10.6.8.

    Click the Alpha button in the tool bar and drag on the white in the image with the mouse until the background is removed.

  • How can I make images transparent in my documents?

    I've got InDesign CS5.5 and like to save my banners, etc. that I create as a jpeg but when I try to use them on something else it has a white background.  How can I make sure the backgrounds are transparent?

    I didn't know that about the png in CS6.  Thanks for letting me know.
    Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop.  I just recently purchased Photoshop Elements.  I haven't really done much on it as I have other projects I need to work on. Do you know if I would be able to convert in that program?
    Wish I could afford a newer version of InDesign but I can't.

  • Dns server numbers are black, how can i make them grey?

    On the initial set up of the air port extreme the dns server numbers are black, how can i make them grey?

    Black would indicate that the AirPort Extreme is set up as the main router. Is this what you want?
    Grey would indicate that the AirPort Extreme is set up as a bridge. If the AirPort Extreme is operating correctly as the main router, it will not function correctly as a bridge.

  • How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

    How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
    (I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

    After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
    If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

  • How can I make row labels appear on the right

    I am creating a timeline for a web development project in numbers
    I have changed the content scale to get it to fit on two pages (it's illegible on one page) but the tasks are overlaid on the grey column containing row labels
    How can I make the row labels appear on the right side instead of the left side?

    Thanks Badunit - that was a big help
    The counterintuitive part of this whole exercise is that to get the timeline printed as I want, I've got to leave the column representing Week 8 blank

    Normal View:
    Numbers has got Excel beat in so many ways, but there are some baffling bits to it!

  • Date and time of appointment to light. How can I make them darker?

    I find the date and time of the appointments show in a light grey color which I find hard to see. How can I make the date show in a darker color?    

    Finally gotten the hang of editing < </div>
    Cool. I've been at this for more than 30 years, I still learn stuff every single day.
    and now we are trying to improve the speed with which out video clips play on the web. I would love them to load as quickly as the large movie trailers on the apple site. I have experimented with the export settings and gotten them a bit better but not they are still not loading as quickly as the Apple ones. Any ideas? < </div>
    Get yourself two or more of the very intensely geeky books on streaming media. In this case, though, it's got nothing to do with your export or compression/encoding settings. It's all about how rapidly your server can send the file into the Internet when it called.

  • How can i make still from 16:9 film tot bitmap without distortion?

    how can I make stills from my 16:9 movie to bitmap without having distortion?
    ! work with Adobe Premiere Elements 10

    Bernard Bussemaker
    If you really have a 720 x 576 Standard Widescreen Video 16:9 (PAR = 1.4587) and you want a jpg still capture from it using Premiere Elements 10, then I suggest the following:
    Premiere Elements 10
    Project Preset = PAL DV Widescreen
    Place the Timeline Indicator to the frame that you want as a jpg image.
    Go to
    Share
    Computer
    Image
    and there set Presets = DV PAL SD (it is long story, but you do not have much choice at that level), so
    you could experiment with JPEG - HD 1920 x 1080 but no sure how that is going to look going from 720 x 576 to 1920 x 1080, so
    Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, set
    Frame Width 1024 or 1050 pixels
    Frame Width 576 pixels
    Aspect = Square (1.0)
    ("or" relates to....if you just want a 16:9 jpg still, then 1024 will do fine. If you want a 16:9 jpg still that will present in a Premiere Elements project to fill the Edit Mode monitor, then 1050.
    1024 x 576 is the square pixel version of the non square pixel version 720 x 576 widescreen which is stretched for display after encoding.
    Image can resize downward if necessary. More details on that later.)
    If the details of what I have suggested are too much, then just try the suggestion step by step and then  let us know if it works for you. If any questions or you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If you are really dealing with a 720 x 576 4:3 standard video, we can go through that next.
    But the answers are in the details.
    Thanks.

    I'm sorry
    if I bothering you.

    There are probably 1000's of tutorial about layout in WPF but I have found that the people on this forum have the best handle on how to use WPF.  I am now near a workstation and have the following code example which should get you started. (the example
    is in VB but it is the XAML which is important).
    <Window x:Class="MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="ListBox" x:Key="myListbox" >
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
    <Style.Triggers>
    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Visible" ></Setter>
    </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid Background="#FF040404">
    <ListBox Style="{StaticResource myListbox }"
    HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="237" Margin="23,46,0,0"
    VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="470"
    ItemsSource="{Binding theList}" Background="Transparent" >
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
    <UniformGrid Rows="2"></UniformGrid>
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
    <Grid Background="#FF574A4A" Width="150" Height="75" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding theCaption}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Foreground="#FFF5EFEF"></TextBlock>
    </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
    </Grid>
    </Window>
    Class MainWindow
    Public Property theList As New List(Of theItem)
    Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    For i As Integer = 0 To 5
    Dim ti As New theItem With {.theCaption = "Caption " + i.ToString}
    theList.Add(ti)
    Next
    DataContext = Me
    End Sub
    End Class
    Public Class theItem
    Public Property theCaption As String
    End Class
    The above XAML define a listbox with the properties I mentioned in my previous post.  There is a listbox with an ItemTemplate (define how each item should be displayed) and a definition of how the layout
    should be done (ItemsPanel).  The is also a style which uses datatriggers to show/hide your scrollbar.  If you have questions about what I presented please ask but I would ask that you try it first so that you can see how it looks .
    And I'm sorry for the small font above but this forum editor constantly give me problems.

  • How can I make this shape?

    How can I make this shape in fireworks:
    I want some images in my website to have rounded corners. Im doing this by adding 4 divs with background images and absolutely positioning them, one over each corner of the image. The background images are PNGs with transparent areas. This works as the site's background is a solid color, so the rounded corners dont need to actually be transparent.
    The issue im having is that the pixels on the curve need to be semi transparent. Id love to make this shape as a vector but I dont know how.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is another simple way to get the shape desired. Create a rounded rectangle that is twice your corner size - both width and height wise. Now adjust the rounded corners to almost make a circle (pull the yellow corner handle towards the center of the side). Now click the corner and you will be able to toggle between the different corner types. You can now either use the shape as it is (if you need it for corners of a sprite rounded rectangle) or you can cut it up to get the desired wedge.

  • Can I make the background transparent?

    Can I make the background transparent?
    So when I embed a flex app on a web page the background should automatically be the same as the surrounding html web page.
    If yes: How do I specify transparency?
