Images are ghosted, text and background colors are reverted

My 12 in Powerbook fell from its stand on the wireless keyboard. Now all images are ghosted and the text has gone from black to white and the background has gone from white to black. On startup everything is fine until everything is loaded, then the changes kick in, colors reverse, and the images become ghosted. What do I do?

It might be possible that the "Switch to white on black" setting in Universal Access has been activated.

Numeric Control - Text and Background Color changes when operating inc/dec arrows

Hi,
I'm developing an application that has a panel with black background and green or red numbers. I've added numeric controls and configured the text color and text background color attributes accordinglingy. I set the numeric control to hot or validate control mode and show the inc/dec arrows, since I want to be able to incr/decr the numbers.
The problem is that when I run the application and I hit the inc/dec arrows, then the colors inside the numeric control frame become inverted: the black background becomes white and the green number becomes cyan. I've created a callback function assosicated with the numeric control and tried forcing the text and background color, in the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED section, using the SetCtrlAttrribute() function, but to no avail. Also added ProcessDrawEvents didn't help.
When I mouse click again outside the numeric control, then it reverts back to its original colors (green text, black background).
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this ?
I want it to keep its original colors at all times, even when I'm clicking the incr/decr arrows...
Kind regards,
pgriep
Solved!

Ok, now I see what's happening.
The effect you are seeing is a resul of standard numeric control behaviour combined with the black bcakground: when you use arrows to increment/decrement a numeric control its value will be automatically highlighted; on the default background you'll see the white area and figures highlighted in black (white numbers on balck background). If you set the background to black the system will automatically change the colors used to highlight the text, and that's what you're seeing.
By the way, this does not happens if you use up and down keys on the keyboard: text is not highlighted so colors are not changing.
Additionally, this is not only valid for numerics: see the behaviour of the string controls on the bottom of your panel when you tab up to them. This effect does not happen on controls set as indicator like the big clock in the upper part of the panel.
The only way I can see to overcome this behaviour is to hide control built-in arrows and create your own up and down buttons with which you can manipulate the numeric control. I am attaching a modified version of your project with buttons on the left numeric; sorry for the poor aesthetic: I have used some arrow icons I had on my disk, you may want to create your own arrows with the colors and shape you prefer.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

How to set text and background color of current row in a adf table?

Hi,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
How to set text fond and background color of current row in a adf table?
I tried to set Background color in table property, but that is not what i want.
Thanks.

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

Logon Page - Trademark text and background color

Hi Guys,
I just customized the Logon Page of the Portal successfully. The only two things which are missing are the trademark as well as a new background color. So ... can anybody tell how to:
1. Change the SAP Trademark text in the Logon Page?
2. Change the background color of the background page?
Hopefully I can do it in the portal. Thanks for your answers and your help.
Best regards
Alexander

Alexander,
In addition to the tips you already got from the other members...
1. The Background colour is the background colour that is defined in the theme assigned in the Default Portal Desktop (defaultDesktop) that is located in the folder: pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/. By default the Tradeshow theme is selected in this desktop if you create your own theme and assign it to this desktop and set it as default then the background colour of your theme will be the background colour visible in the login page....
2. The Trademark text is a "Locale text" this means that the strin is not visible in the code but referenced by a variable based on the language of the browser. You can find this copywrite text in the following location:
a. Download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file from your Portal
b. Import it in NWDS or unzip it.
c. inside the structure look for the folder PORTAL-INF\lib
d. there is a .jar file called umelogonbase.jar. extract this file with winzip
e. inside the structure you now see allot of .properties files.. look for the loginLabels_<yourcountrycode>.properties and inside this file look for the variable called "COPY_RIGHT" there you can edit it.
f. do this for all the languages you need and create a new par file again in your customer namespace so that you don't overwrite the one from SAP.
Good Luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

Menu text and background colors

The menus in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 seem to use:
- System colors for text,
- Forced grey for background color.
My Windows 7 is setup to have light grey text on dark background. All other programs honor this. The result in Reader is that I have light grey text on grey background, which is not readable:
The same is valid for the bookmarks field, as shown above.
It's either:
- take system colors for both background and foreground (preferred)
- force colors for both background and foreground.
You'd think that Adobe would know about that kind of problems...
Is there a work-around?

You have to clear your browser history/cache or all of the links you have visited in the past (while previewing) will show as the visited style which is a white background and black text.

How can I make FF use custom visited/unvisited link colors but allow the website to choose the other text and background colors?

websites often choose colors that I have trouble distinguishing between but overriding the other colors can cause color defects on certain websites.

Add code like this to userContent.css in the chrome folder.<br />
There can however still be problems with clickable elements that use background images.
Remove that link from the history to restore that background image.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

Change text and background color when multiple tracks of text

I am finishing up a project and the client wants the final title card to be white background with colored text. I have read a bit about how to do this but I can't fit it into my situation. My text is on four different tracks, each piece of text "For more information," "email address", "contact", "phone number" So I need to change each one. But the way that I have read about it, it seems those answers are only for one level of text.
Help?

You should probably be using boris title 3D rather than the default text generator. title 3D is part of the fcp default install and is available in the same generator options where the text generator is found under Boris.
It will allow you to conbine fonts, font sizes, etc in the same clip.
And then you'll just have to put a color matte on a video track under the clip.
You can of course just put all your text clips on a track above the color matte and manually change the color of all the text.

How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
Thanks in advance
Z

In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
You should provide feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

How to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?

Hello all,
I am just starting to study the sdk (Mac CC). Currently, I am seeking the answer to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?
Is it possible to do so? In addition, will the Image Mode such as RGB, CYMK or Grayscale be effecting such solution?
Thanks in advance.

These are NOT dropdown menus. They are dropdown LISTS.

And a dropdown list behaves differently from dropdown menus. Here's how it looks on Mobile Safari :

Mx|Tree disable hover, selection and background color

Hello.
I would like to know how can i disable the dhover, selection and background color.
i don't need selection at all so if i can just disable the selection in a tree component (plus make the background color transparent) it would be great.
thanks

RTFM
Use Tree's "selectable" property and "backgroundAlpha" style.

Disabled font and background color

I am trying to change the font and background color of a disabled h:inputtext tag. Currently, if I set disabled=true on an h:inputtext tag, the background in gray and the font is white. I would like to somehow customize that to be background gray and font color black. Any ideas?

Default UITableViewCell text label background color

I need a table view cell that just has simple text but with custom backgroundView images when not selected vs. selected. I'm too lazy to implement a custom cell, so I was using the regulation UITableViewCell, setting the backgroundView and backgroundSelectedView. The problem is for non-white backgroundView, when the cell is not selected, the text has a white box around it (the background color of the label containing the text, I assume), which looks horrible. When the cell is selected, the default UITableViewCell implementation takes care of changing the text color to white and text label background to clearColor and the custom backgroundSelectedView shows through beautifully. Is there a reason why the text label shouldn't just have a clear background color ALL THE TIME?? If the UITableViewCell is not customized for backgroundView, i.e., the cell background is white, the clear colored text label is no different from a white colored text label. If the backgroundViews are customized to non-white, a clear text label won't be in the way of the backgroundView showing through.
Does this sound like a good feature request?
How does one submit requests or bug reports for iPhone SDK anyways??
Thanks.

I am having this exact same problem right now. Did you have to subclass UITableViewCell to fix it?
I had the same problem and subclassed UITableViewCell to solve it. I set the backgroundView and selectedBackgroundView to UIView instances I wanted to use and then implemented setSelected:animated: in my subclass.
{code:}
-(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated: (BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected: selected animated: animated];
for (UIView *view in self.contentView.subviews) {
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
{code}
Bit bruteforce and as Apple suggests this will impact table performance, but the tables I work with aren't that big and it works well so far.
It'd be nice if UITableViewCell honored backgroundView like it does selectedBackgroundView, i.e. when the backgroundView property is set keep the cell contents transparent.

UITableView section header: How to find out font size and background color

Hi, does anyone know how to find out the default font and default background color(or image?) used in the section header of a tableView
I'd like to create a view with the same background color/image and use the same font (with different color) used by the section header

I don't think there are any getter methods for a section header. But I wouldn't be surprised if the header was an object. You might try setting some header text to a key string and searching recursively through all the subviews for objects that respond to a text message. It might help to also print the description of objects that don't respond to text. I haven't tried this yet, but will let you know if I get any useful results.
I guess another approach would be to use viewForHeaderInSection to set the font and color to whatever you wanted. Then you wouldn't have any problem matching it.
