How to apply New ADF Faces Skin into JHeadStart Application

Hi
I have downloaded the new skins such as srdemo,mycompany..
I have only changed skinfamily value in adf-faces-config file but when i generate application with JAG the new skin does not apply it.
Can anybody help me what's the problem?
thanks

This should work fine. Did you accidently re-enable JHeadstart on your project? This wil overwrite adf-faces-config.xml again, so double check your skin family is specified correctly.

ADF Faces Skins Not Working

I can't seem to get my ADF faces skins to register at all. I have a css file, an adf-faces-skins.xml file, and a <skin-family> element in my adf-faces-config.xml file, but to no avail.
One possible hint--I think I might not be getting access to the appropriate XML namespace in my adf-faces-skins.xml file. I can't, for example, get code insight to work there ("No insight available"). I'm using
<skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfview/faces/skin">
which looks like it's right out of the help. Am I missing a library of some sort?
Thanks much,
Avrom

Yes, I have, and I don't see anything I've done substantially differently from there--with the exception of adding a new version of Faces to my project. I assume I don't have to do that if I'm using 10.1.3 Production (the HowTo says it's a "more recent" version of Faces, but it was written against EA 1).

Problem with a example of "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins"

Hi, I've tried the example "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins", but when I run the sample.jspx page and choose the skin "MyCompany" in the select skin I obtain the next message:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.laf.simple.desktop.SideBarRenderer._getIconData(SideBarRenderer.java:393)
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.laf.simple.desktop.SideBarRenderer.prerender(SideBarRenderer.java:83)
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.BaseRenderer.render(BaseRenderer.java:79)
Could somebody help me?
Thanks a lot ;-)

Hi there,
I had the same issue last friday.
It's probably because you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 instead of 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 for which the example is made.
I haven't been able to fix this yet, other then by commenting out the this part of the css.

Problem in Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins sample

sample.jspx dose not have “Select Skin” box as the document shown.
I am trying the sample project downloaded from sample WAR file - adffaces_skin.war in article “Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins”.
In paragraph “Changing the Color Schema of a Skin”
sample.jspx has a “Select Skin” box to allow user to select “Simple” or “MyCompany”. (in JSP Visual Editor)
However, it does not show on the project built from downloaded from sample WAR file (adffaces_skin.war).

After reading the whole document, I realize it is my mistake.
The box will be created after all user skins setting.
The sample works.
Only thing need to remind is for later version Jdeveloper, Application Worksapce in only for early version Jdeveloper. All the version after 10g 1.3 EA1, Only have Application.

Need file adf-faces-skins-doc.xml

Hi
I have down loaded the latest ADF release. I want to customize the ADF skins, I am not able to find file adf-faces-skins-doc.xml in skins folder which explains the Style sheet attributes of the ADF component.
Can any one please send me this file or tell me the location on internet where I can find it.
Thanks

Hi!
Download the sample application. The file you're searching for should be inside the warfile.

ER: ADF Faces Skins: "Unknown pseudo class:alias"

Hi,
I'm trying to create an ADF Faces Skin, by overriding aliases in my own CSS file.
The code editor, however, is hilighting the word "alias" every time I use it (as in ".AFDarkBackground:alias") in red, and the error "Unknown pseudo class:alias" appears both on a popup and in the Structure Pane under "CSS Errors." Is Can I ignore this, or am I doing something wrong? Do I need to import some base CSS that defines the pseudo class? The sample from the HowTo doesn't seem to, but then it shows up with the same CSS Errors.
Best,
Avrom

Changed topic title to reflect request for enhancement farther down.

Thanks!
I think I'll edit the title of this to contain ER: ... it would be very nice if it were possible to turn off this bit of validation. I can imagine varying degrees of "smartness" for such a feature--from a manual "accept simple desktop pseudoclasses" option to automatically checking to see if the CSS is listed in an adf-faces-skins.xml file or is imported by any CSS files that are.

Adf faces skin-family change for page or component

I know how to change this by editing adf-faces-config.xml tile. Is it possible to change the skin-family at a page level or for even for an individual component?

You can change the skin at the page level by setting the value of the skin-family property to an expression language:
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>#{skinFamily.skinSelection}</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>
Where skinFamily is a managed bean and skinSelecion can be implemented as follows:
public String getSkinSelection()
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot();
String viewId = viewRoot.getViewId();
System.out.println(viewId);
if ( viewId.startsWith("/blaf/") ) {
skinSelection = "oracle";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/minimal/") ) {
skinSelection = "minimal";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/vantive/") ) {
skinSelection = "vantive";
return skinSelection;
If you want to have two components, let's say, two tables, at the same page but with a different style you can accomplish that by using the inline-style tag.

Using ADF Faces Skins

I'm looking for a reference on deploying Skins with ADF Faces. The published howto on OTN is'nt very helpful because the sample code link is broken (See my previous post). The JDeveloper help files are somewhat helpful but I'm looking for a working example. I'm following the technique as implemented in SRDEMO but I must be missing something as my style sheet changes are not showing up.
It would be nice if someone from Oracle could look into fixing the link to the sample code for:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
I think if I had a working example that allows skins to change at runtime I would be able to figure out what I'm missing. I have been trying access the link for a couple days now and no one has reponded to any of my requests.

The link to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/adffaces-skin.war
seems to work for me.
In any case to change the skin you are using you change the adf-faces-config.xml file.
To get it to change at runtime - just put a reference to a value in a backing bean instead of the fixed "oracle" and then change the value in the bean at runtime.

New ADF Faces Blog

Hi all,
I've been getting a lot of good feedback, tips, and help in this forum over the past few weeks. I've decided to start a blog with some of the techniques I'm using on my current ADF Faces project. I'd be interested in any feedback (leave a comment on the blog), as well as ideas for topics to post.

I am very interested in the topics you have. Can you quickly post code samples?

How do I add ADF Faces Core and ADF Faces Html to the component palette?

I have an already made jspx page which I wish to work further on but I can´t choose ADF components from the component palette.
in my older version I added these two lines to the <jsp:root> element when I wanted to make ADF components available.
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces"
xmlns:afh="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html"
but in Jdeveloper 11g preview 3 these two lines seem to have no effect.
I tried to see what other jspx pages that contained ADF components in 11g had that my page didn´t and found out that they had the line
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
but when I add this line instead of the other two lines and press install JSP tag library Jdeveloper freezes completely. Can anyone help me get ADF components show up in the component palette in Jdeveloper 11g preview 3?

Hello,
Jdeveloper 11g uses Trinidad not ADF Faces 10g, to add it, uses the following:
1. Double-click your project to access project properties;
2. Select JSP Tag Libraries;
3. Click Add;
4. Trinidad Component 11-m3

How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

How to age new photo to fit into older photo

I am trying to take a current color photo, turn it into black and white then put the figures from the photo into a 50 year old black and white. I can turn the new photo into black and white, I can cut the figure out and size it proportionally but it just does not fit .. need to figure out how to "age" the new photo --- tried blur as well as adding noise, still not quite right .. anyone have some suggestions? Project .. take picture of my grandson and put him in picture of myself at the same age ...

It really depends on the condition of the original black and white. If you upload a the two images or maybe what you have so far it might help in identifying what steps might be needed to make your new image blend with your old image. Without seeing the image, I can only guess...
Maybe...
Use levels using the output sliders to reduce contrast.
Use Brightness contrast filter to reduce contrast and/or brightness.
Use Hue/Saturation layer to create a black and white which better matches the tone of the original. In the Hue/Saturation dialog, reduce the individual color saturation level to 0% saturation instead of using the master. (Change setting from the default master to the individual colors in the drop down box in upper right hand side of Hue/Saturation dialog.) After each color is set to 0% saturation, adjust the individual color lightness and possibly hue to roll your own black and white photo effect.
Try using the grain filter.
The link below shows one method of aging a photo. If you skip to page 5 and 6 it shows using the grain filter and adjusting the levels output sliders. Keep in mind since adjustment layers have a mask you can use a brush with black paint to make the effect such as a levels fade in and out. (Tip: Try a brush made for clouds on the levels adjustment layer mask to make the contrast patchy.) Keep in mind you can do this in more than one adjustment layer...i.e. you could set the overall contrast with one levels layer then add a second levels layer over this one and use it to make the new contrast patchy.
Here's that link:
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/old-photo/page-5.php
Page 5 shows the grain filter being applied. Page 6 shows the levels output being used to reduce overall contrast.
If you need scratches and/or bends, the answer is the paint brush and white paint or use a scratch overlay. Look around the net for scratch brushes or scratch overlays.
Use a seach term like scratched Photoshop brushes.
You can also try using the dust and scratches filter to get a faded glowy look that exists in some older images. See the tutorial linked below to see what I mean.
http://www.idigitalemotion.com/tutorials/guest/old_looking_images/oldlookingimages.html
The above uses a layer mask. If you don't have PSE 9 or PSE 10, you can either use a clipping mask (clipping group if it's older than PSE 8) to make the dust and scratches effect patchy. You can alternately use a soft tipped eraser on the dust and scratch filtered layer and erase where you don't want the effect. I would recommend either using a mask or if you must use an eraser to use a soft edged eraser tip and to set the opacity at a low setting so you can slowly strip away the effect. (You could also try using a cloud brush with your eraser tool to make it erase patchy. Just be sure to switch that brush out before you finish this project or you'll be wondering why your eraser is acting funny at some later date. )

Community Effort : ADF Faces Skinning Workflow Pattern

All,
in the Blog entry below, I started the outline of a skinning work flow that should help new skin developers to walk on a beaten path instead of wasting their time in heading into the wrong direction. This thread here is to gather community feedback - including yours - of what steps should be added to this flow. Note that this entry is not for discussing skinning problems but sharing what has helped you in the past to build new skins. Its all about methodology (sorry Chris, I should have posted this on the EMG first, maybe you guys can chime in). Just in case, if there is an ER you see for the skin editor, start your post with ER - but make sure you stay realistic and focused ;-)

Hi Frank,
A few questions, largely on ADF Skin Editor (Standalone) Vs JDeveloper R2
1. In the ADF Skin Editor(ASE), the Images section of the editor, for a skin, shows up a blank screen with below entry in logs
Dec 21, 2011 11:43:48 PM oracle.adfdtinternal.view.rich.skins.editor.imagizer.ImagesMetadata$DefaultColorProfileCache create
INFO: ImagesMetadata: calculating base color: 494 ms.
This works in JDeveloper R2 release though.
2. While trying to extend fusion.desktop screen, I have observed, the version of fusion-desktop.css in ASE is vastly different from the fusion-desktop.css in JDeveloper R2.
For instance : in R2's version of CSS I can not find the selectors for af|PanelBox light Background. (and thus missing the image files needed for light Background of a panelBox)
The combination of both 1 and 2 above is acting as a roadblock in my attempt to create a custom skin for one of the Customer POC's, need to generate image files with custom colors to be used largely in layout components.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

ADF Faces skins problems using libraries

Hi,
I have been trying to use the tutorial on the following website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
This shows you how to create skins and things. The only problem is that I cannot see the view that is shown in the screenshot. I.e. I get a load of garbled gabage showing me the tags in the document instead of whats visually there.
I realise this is a problem with the library but everytime I try and set up the JSF and ADF libraries in the JSP Tag libraries of Tools->Manage Libraries I click the Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor it lets me do it but then I click refresh on the window with sample.jspx in it and JDeveloper just dies.
The libraries I am using I have downloaded and followed the instructions on
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jsf_howto/jsf.html
To do the JSF libraries and I have followed the same instructions for the ADF libraries. If anyone has any idea I would be glad of the help
Cheers
Daniel

I tried the same example and it is working fine with me. May I know the JDeveloper version you are using?
