How does Mavericks automatically pick a sender's background color automatically?

I've noticed that some senders have the same background color as my blue color in messages on Mavericks when I have the settings set to automatically pick a color? Just curious.

Hi,
iChat and Messages users can set a Font, the colour of the text and to start the change process the background to the Balloon (or other style).
In addition to can choose to override the incoming data.
Both are set in Messages > Preferences > Viewing (it used to be called Messages but it was appearing in too many places).
If your Settings are for the Incoming stuff to be Automatic you will see whatever they sent.
iChat and Messages app will send you what they have chosen.
iPhone and other iOS devices tend to be white as there is no colour info from the iOS app. (it only colours the iPhone/iPad end as to how it is sending the iMessages (green) or SMS (blue).)
Some people using the Mac version will have chosen the same colour as you.
The same may also be true of AIM users using AIM on a PC or if you are using a Jabber ID then a Jabber app may have the same colour as a choice.

How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter INV?

1.How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter Invoice?
2.What is Algorithms? Where is it used?
3.What is the use of Customer Ledger Inquiry?

The document type is hard coded by the system. Look at UDC table 00/DT for the document types in your system. Notice that some of those are marked as hard coded/reserved by JDE. You may wish to dowload the Accounts Receivable manual and read that to learn more about the document types.
Not sure what you mean by algorithm, unless you are looking for how the system determines what document type to assign on invoice entry.
These comments apply to accounts receivable and to JDE World, since you posted in the JDE World forum and are talking about the customer ledger inquiry. If you are in Enterprise One and asking about Accounts Payable, then this reply can be ignored (though Enterprise One works pretty similar to World in this respect).
What is the use of the Customer Ledger Inquiry. To view accounts receivable detail history for a given customer, viewing on line. Whomever works in the accounts receivable department will likely use the Customer Ledger Inquiry quite a bit.
Hope this helps a bit.

How does Mavericks handle 2nd monitor differently?

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, I have liked having a 2nd task bar on my 2nd monitor.
But I haven't figured out how it decides where to put pop up windows. Sometimes they are on one monitor, other times on the other. How does it decide?
And I have one application (SimpleFloatingClock) that used to start up on my 2nd monitor when I reboot, but now starts off on the 1st monitor (where it would boot up when I have to reboot without my 2nd monitor - which in the past has been at the Genius Bar).

I like to have my iTunes on one monitor, but use my iMac's display for other work. But when the iMac's display is active, I get a window from my iTunes behind my browser (or whatever) that I'm using on my iMac. I liked it the old way when it popped up in front of my iTunes and could see it.

How does one force an image to a defined color palette?

I'm trying to limit the colors displayed in an RGB image but I'm not sure how to go about doing. I have a palette of 454 colors (so indexed color is not an option) and I would like to force my image to that color space. This may seem like an odd request, but there's actually a (theoretically) logical reason for it: in a nutshell, I have a swatch palette that corresponds to colors of a particular brand of thread and I want to fit the image's colors to the nearest thread color. While I might be able to do that by eye, I have 454 choices to choose from (laborious!) and I'd prefer to automate the process by letting Photoshop's adaptive color conversion algorithms do their magic.
Or am I overlooking something obvious?
I appreciate any suggestions or assistance!

Charles,
I went ahead and cobbled together a script from other's code to generate a directory full of 100x100 72dpi jpg swatches from a CSV list of names, R, G, and B values. I fed the 454-file directory to MacOSaix and I'm letting it do it's thing. Thanks for the suggestion!
I doubt it will be of any value to anyone, but here's the script, just in case:
#target Photoshop
function main() {
     if (isOSX()) {
          var csvFile = File.openDialog('Select a CSV File', function (f) { return (f instanceof Folder) || f.name.match(/\.csv$/i);} );
     } else {
          var csvFile = File.openDialog('Select a CSV File','comma-separated-values(*.csv):*.csv;');
     if (csvFile != null) {
          fileArray = readInCSV(csvFile);
          var columns = fileArray[0].length;
          //alert('CSV file has ' + columns + ' columns…');
          var rows = fileArray.length;
          //alert('CSV file has ' + rows + ' rows…');
          if (columns == 4 && rows > 0) {
               generateSwatches(csvFile);
          } else {
               var mess = 'Incorrect CSV File?';
               isOSX ? saySomething(mess) : alert(mess);
     } else {
          var mess = 'Ooops!!!';
          isOSX ? saySomething(mess) : alert(mess);
main();
function generateSwatches(csvFile,directory) {
     var docRef = app.documents.add();
     with (docRef) {
//         for (var i = unusedSwatches.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
//              unusedSwatches[i].remove();
           var directory=csvFile.path;
          for (var a = 0; a < fileArray.length; a++) {
               var filename = fileArray[a][0] +".jpg"; // First Column is name for file
               r = parseFloat(fileArray[a][1]); // Second Column is Red
               g = parseFloat(fileArray[a][2]); // Third Column is Green
               b = parseFloat(fileArray[a][3]); // Forth Column is Blue
               if (r >= 0 && r <= 255 && g >= 0 && g <= 255 && b >= 0 && b <= 255) {
                    SaveJPEG(filename, directory, r, g, b);
               } else {
                    var mess = 'Color values are out of range?';
                    isOSX ? saySomething(mess) : alert(mess);
function readInCSV(fileObj) {
     var fileArray = new Array();
     fileObj.open('r');
     fileObj.seek(0, 0);
     while(!fileObj.eof) {
          var thisLine = fileObj.readln();
          var csvArray = thisLine.split(',');
          fileArray.push(csvArray);
     fileObj.close();
     return fileArray;
function saySomething(stringObj) {
     var speakThis = 'say "' + stringObj + '" using "Fred"';
     app.doScript(speakThis, 1095978087); // AppleScript
function isOSX() {
return $.os.match(/Macintosh/i);
function SaveJPEG(filename, directory, r, g, b){
      // create doc
   app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS
   var doc = app.documents.add(100, 100, 72, filename,);
    // define your fill color
   var color = new SolidColor();
   color.rgb.red = r;
   color.rgb.green = g;
   color.rgb.blue = b;
   var imagefile = new File(directory+"/"+filename);
   jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
   jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
   jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   jpgSaveOptions.quality = 12; //JPEG quailty (1-12)
      // fill layer
   doc.selection.selectAll();
   doc.selection.fill(color);
    activeDocument.saveAs(imagefile, jpgSaveOptions, true ,Extension.LOWERCASE);
   // close document
   doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
(Is this overkill and wildly unnecessary? Of course it is.)

Firefox does not recognize the global "advanced appearance" background color setting although IE and all other apps seem to.

The background color of the little mouseover info text boxes is a dingy manila (yellowish) with black text. How do you change this color? The color specs in XP seem to work most everywhere except Firefox.

This works in modern CSS3 supporting browsers. But not pre-IE9.

How Does Jive Decide When to Send Emails to a Watched Thread?

subj.
(answer is likely going to be that jive sucks)
One of my threads was updated this morning. I received no e-mail update. I am watching said thread.
My email preference is:
Send watch emails: Immediately
All watch updates will be emailed to your email address: <snip>
It has only been a couple of hours since thread was updated, so it might be just my impatience, but it makes me wonder what other of my threads have been updated without a notification...
Edited by: trent on Jul 6, 2011 10:57 AM
Oddly, my watch list is only coming up with 14 threads - I think I would have more than 14 watches. The particular thread even says im watching it when i view it, but it's not in the watch list =/ .

I like it. {noformat} ;-) {noformat}
A while ago I recall bits and pieces said the e-mail script being posted and discussed here. Might be worthwhile searching for that - using Google of course as it does a better and more flexible job than Jives's very own search function. Simply add the site:forums.oracle.com to your Google search strings to restrict the search to OTN forums. Those postings may shed some light on exactly how the e-mail feature works (or don''t work).
One of my threads was updated this morning. I received no e-mail update. I am watching said thread.My preference is for the old watches feature (highlighting changed threads since you've last read them) that became too CPU expensive and was disabled, and no watch e-mails at all....

In the latest Firefox where "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how does one automatically clear only the download history

In light of the latest Firefox and the fact that it does not listen to my download retention setting and that "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how do I clear the download history automatically after each download without clearing browser history too? If this is not an option then it is either a serious bug or an important feature removed. If this continues, this is a big reason for me to discontinue using firefox. Really guys! Why?!

then that is really awful. why was this done? maybe it is time to change browsers if this is not corrected soon. yes, corrected, as I see this as a major bug.
thank you for your help though.
Oh, wait, the downloads I keep seeing are not located in any particular folder but scattered across my computer in different folders I manually save them to. Would this make any difference? In any event, I can still see the download history, and I so much prefer the old way.

How does the automatic compilation occur for 2 classes in the same package?

Hi friends,
This is my first file Base.java
package Base;
class Base {
protected void amethod() {
System.out.println("amethod");
}This is my second file :
package Class1;
public class Class1 extends Base {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
Base b = new Base();
b.amethod();
}However even if I compile only Class1,why do I get the output as "amethod" ? I an not compiling Base class also with this.Do the files get automatically compiled if they are in the same package ?
Thanks.

Also it will compile automatically only for the first time and any changes made to any file will have to be compiled into latest .class files ?Yes.
Did compile the files under the above constraints.
So it is a smooth "run" for the first time,but not after editions to the either files.
I would appreciate if experts give some feedback on this.
Thank you.

How does GR post to the right PO . ?

Hello Team ,
I have a query with GR postings.
We are receiving inbound GR through IDOC type : WMMBID01 and getting processed through : L_IDOC_INPUT_WMMBXY
The GR is of a movement type : 161 and movement indicator : B
Also the GR is not having any data relating to delivery note or PO numner.
Only Vendor number and material number are provided in the IDOC.
Please let me know how does the GR pick the right PO to be posted against .
thanks
Raghu V

Hi,
Reference PO document number will be available the segment "E1MBXYI" (fields EBELN, EBELP) in the incoming idoc. If is it not available in the incoming idoc, then the same should be filled through enhancement MWMIDO08, component :EXIT_SAPLLMDE_002. Without filling the data in these segment fields, Material documents will be not updated against the correct reference document.
Regards
Vinod

Using the color picker component to change background is coving up the rest of the elements

Hello,
I am trying to learn some scripting for components.
I have a bunch of stuff working and I got the color picker component to change the color of a movie clip and another one to change the text color.
I have another script that does the background color, but, when I use it with this script, it covers up the other components.
How can I use the color picker to change the background color of the stage without covering up the the movie elements?
Here are the two scripts:
script one-works fine on the 2 elements it is targeting
import fl.events.*;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
myColPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorInfo.color = event.color;
    myBox.transform.colorTransform = colorInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
myTextPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeText);
function changeText(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorTypeInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorTypeInfo.color = event.color;
    myType.transform.colorTransform = colorTypeInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
Script 2-works fine in an empty movie, but if I add it to the script above, those elements get hidden..
import fl.controls.ColorPicker;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
var bg:Sprite = new Sprite();
bg.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
bg.graphics.endFill();
addChild(bg);
var colorPicker:ColorPicker = new ColorPicker();
colorPicker.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, colorPicker_change);
colorPicker.move(10, 10);
addChild(colorPicker);
function colorPicker_change(evt:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    bg.graphics.beginFill(evt.color);
    bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
    bg.graphics.endFill();
Granted, I they are changing colors differently, but I am not sure how to change the stage color any other way with this component.
any thoughts out there?
thanks
babs

Thanks kglad!!!

The toolbar displays File, Edit, View, etc. print too small & barely able to read. How to enlarge print. Also background color of toolbars hard to read. It is black. make larger?

The Menu Bar, Roboform Bar in general all toolbars the print is too small and barely able to read. Please tell me how to enlarge the print. Also, the background color is black and hard to read. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
Increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.<br />
In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages if the above steps made the text too large.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
