Hi guys,I have to make a Content Pane look like Race Track which is constantly moving as the cars moves forward.

  • How to make a textblock's background look like translucent, frosted glass

    Hey,
    I use a lot of textblocks with black letters on a white ground. I would like to make the ground translucent, but when I set the transparency to lower than 100%, the background of my textblocks becomes dark and grayish, instead of white translucent. I've tried everything I could find, but still cannot turn the background to look like (white) frosted glass.
    Thank you for your input,
    Mike

    I just tried this, and it seems to work:
    1. Googled for and found an image of "frosted glass"
    2. Dragged it to my desktop (= copied it to there)
    3. Opened the resultant .jpg file with Graphic Converter, which, in the "choose the image you want to open" scroll box, but before I actually opened the image, I set to "Create Preview" (you can see this happen in the scroll box)
    4. Opened, saved, and closed the image, which was now on my desktop looking like a little square of frosted glass.
    And now, in KN:
    1. Made a text box, with text.
    2. Used "Image fill" to get the image I'd made from the desktop.
    3. Set the image fill to "Scale to fill", which it did nicely.
    You can now (probably) do all the things to the text box which can usually be done. You might even be able to set this as your default text box background, but I didn't try it myself.
    Hope this helps.

  • Make JFrame look like an JInternalFrame in Nimbus

    hi, am writing an application using JDesktopPane and JInternalFrames using Nimbus L&F. I must say that the internal frame decorations are a lot finer than that of the frame. I just want to ask if it is possible for me to make the JFrame look like the internal frames. I mean the title bar and border decorations for the frame, to look like the Internal frames with even the colored minimize, close buttons.
    thanks.

    Have you tried this?JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);The method must be invoked before constructing any JFrame.
    @Pete: It's an undocumented part of the JDK, ostensibly a preview feature. The package will change in Java 7 (probably to javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel), but presently it's at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

  • How do I change what a button looks like?

    How do I change what a button looks like?
    I have an Arrow button that I want to change into a 'Text' Button.

    "AVG Safe Search" often makes the "Enter" key not work, it may be opening their search in a new tab since they are the ones with the search by that name. Make sure that you do not have that extension see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    Actually there is more than just the one extension that AVG might install, reinstall AVG Free without the Link Scanner component as mentioned in the above link and always refuse additional baggage offered during an install -- AVG Free does not ask in the free version it just includes it and there are no options once installed in the Free version for components..
    Also make sure you don't have the "Ask Toolbar" or other toolbars you did not ask for. see the same link above for Toolbar problems.
    It is definitely an extension that causing the behavior you see.

  • Any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    let's go back to your original post: what do you mean "it looks like you moved all items to trash"??
    You DID move them to trash? (we can discuss WHY once we cure you)...
    Can you open a window in finder and get to  applications and then to utilities? Is MAIL in there?
    And your "office email account"-- do you mean physical office, like place of work and you want that account in your mac mail on your computer?  ~OR~ do you mean, microsoft office,mail account?
    The difference is necessary to know...

    The photos actually are not present twice on the phone when you do what you did.  The photos appear once and then in the folder there is simply a cross reference to the photos in the photo stream

    I think your JTable is editable and thats why it fails to work.
    The above code will work onlyfor non editable table.
    I think the default setting for editable table is like that.
    Let some one else gives you the answer for editable one.

  • How to make contents of DIV on page I'm leaving fade out?

    I am trying to figure out how to make the contents of a DIV on the page I'm clicking away from fade out. I know how to make the next page load with a fade in. So I'm half way there (I guess).  Wix has a lot of designs that use this effect. Here's a link to an example:
    http://www.wix.com/website-template/view/html/633?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wix.com&numbe r-of-page=1&position-in-page=1
    This is the code that I use to make a DIV load with a fade in:
    I add this CSS code under the DIV that I want to apply the fade in effect to:
         animation: fadein 2s;
        -moz-animation: fadein 2s; /* Firefox */
        -webkit-animation: fadein 2s; /* Safari and Chrome */
        -o-animation: fadein 2s; /* Opera */
    And I add this extra code to the CSS styles sheet:
    @keyframes fadein {
        from {
            opacity:0;
        to {
            opacity:1;
    @-moz-keyframes fadein { /* Firefox */
        from {
            opacity:0;
        to {
            opacity:1;
    @-webkit-keyframes fadein { /* Safari and Chrome */
        from {
            opacity:0;
        to {
            opacity:1;
    @-o-keyframes fadein { /* Opera */
        from {
            opacity:0;
        to {
            opacity: 1;

    Success!!! Thank you! Although I did have to change one more thing. See bold text below.
    One more question. What if I wanted to apply this effect to two ID's instead of one? Would it be as simple as adding a comma and then the ID in quotes like this?.... $(#container", "#footer")
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#container").css("display", "none");
        $("#container").fadeIn(2000);
        $("a.transition").click(function(event){
            event.preventDefault();
            linkLocation = this.href;
            $("#container").fadeOut(1000, redirectPage);       
        function redirectPage() {
            window.location = linkLocation;

  • Fitting JPanel perfectly inside content pane of JFrame

    Say I have a JPanel with size W x H that I want to add to a JFrame such that the JFrame will be sized as small as possible while still fitting the panel inside its content pane. Is there a method in JPanel that I can overwrite or a specific method of adding to a JFrame that I can use to accomplish this, or do I need to calculate the JFrame's size with getInsets()?
    Thanks.

    If I do this...
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Pack Test");
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setSize(300, 300);
    frame.add(panel);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);...the resulting content pane is most definitely not 300x300 pixels. What am I doing wrong?

  • How do I make the tool bar displays look like Firefox 3.6?

    I have gotten used to the order of the tool bars and would like to make them look like the previous version of Firefox (3.6). Is there a way to move them up or down in FF 4.0?

    #<u>If you are not seeing the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)</u> hold down the ALT key while pressing the three keyboard letters VTM.
    #*<u>To turn off the Menu bar at any time and use the Firefox button</u> (click on it to drop down the new Menu), click View > Toolbars, click on Menu Bar to remove the check mark. You can always turn it on again using the ALT+V+T+M in step 1 above.
    #<u>To move the tabs below toolbars</u>, click View > Toolbars, click "Tabs on top" to un-check it. '''''NOTE: Instead of View > Toolbars, you can click in any blank space on any toolbar to open the dialog.'''''
    #<u>To display other toolbars not being displayed</u>, repeat this process View > Toolbars and click on items that do not have a check mark; that will place a check mark next to those items and cause them to be displayed.
    #<u>To move items around on the toolbars</u>, you can drag them to the desired location when the Customize Toolbar window is open: View > Toolbars > Customize.
    #'''<u>The Reload/Refresh button and the Stop button have been "unified/combined" on the right end of the URL/Location/Address bar</u>''' (where you type a site address).
    #*When the Customize Toolbar window is open (View > Toolbars > Customize), the two separate buttons are shown between the URL/Location/Address bar and the Search bar. You can drag those 2 buttons wherever you want them but the order is important when the two are adjacent to one another (side-by-side) :
    #**Refresh/Reload on the left and Stop on the right, the buttons will be "unified/combined"
    #**Stop on the left and Reload/Refresh on the right, the buttons will be separated
    #**If left between the URL/Location/Address bar and the Search bar:
    #***Refresh/Reload on the left and Stop on the right, the buttons will be "unified/combined" as part of the URL/Location/Address bar on the right end of it
    #***Stop on the left and Refresh/Reload on the right, the buttons will be individually shown outside and to the right of the URL/Location/Address bar

  • How can I see what my eBook looks like in Mac Preview?

    I just wrote and published an ebook online. Some of my customers who use a Mac have mentioned the Table of Contents has weird symbols in it.
    It looks fine on my Windows machine.
    Turns out they are using the Macintosh Preview program to view my pdf file and my eBook is showing up odd when using that program. It works fine in Adobe Reader for Mac users, but not when they use Preview.
    Is there a program I can download to my Windows computer which will emmulate the Mac Preview program so that I can see what it looks like using that software?
    Thanks

    UPDATE:
    A customer sent me a screen shot of the table of contents. I used Microsoft Word to create the Table of Contents which made the table contents clickable (i.e. click on the section and you'll jump to it in the ebook).
    I'm betting the problem lies with the fact that I used Microsoft Word to create the TOC and make it clickable.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this while keeping the TOC clickable?
    Also, I'd still like to know if there's a Preview program I can install on my Windows machine.
    Thanks again

  • How can I covert a photo to look like a drawing?

    I would like to convert a photograph into an illustration.
    For instance, a portrait photo would become like a comic strip drawing.
    How do I do that?

    Here's a couple of pictures I took of my grandson and made into an illustration using filters. I forget how I did it, but I could reconstruct the steps if necessary.

    If this is what you want, let me know. You can make the colors more comic-book-like by playing around with saturation and contrast.
    It's best to provide an example of what you're looking for. Your conception of a comic book drawing can be anything from Peanuts to Prince Valiant.

  • How does a .ALI file have to look like in a merged project (RH9)

    In RH5 (X5) the central .ali file of a merged project contained the enumeration of the #included .ali files of the sub-projects.
    Now how does this file have to look like in a merged RH9 project? Given that all files (or most) are XML-files now it seems that the simple enumeration by #include doesn't work any longer.
    Christoph

    The PDF file itself.
    For example, we sell eDocuments in PDF format, we have Acrobat Pro, I make a revision and that revision on my server can push a notification next time they open the eDocument that there's a update available.  Much like many software programs can do, except this is a distributed PDF document that can look for updates inside Acrobat Reader for the end user.
    Essentially we're trying to find a better way for people to get revisions of purchased PDF files as they become available.
    Thanks for your time.
