Is there a way to stretch a background image rather than repeating it?

I have a one celled table with a background image. It's really just a gradient strip (gradient going from top to bottom - ending in fade to white). I want the image to continue all the way across the page. If I set it to repeat via X, somehow you can see where the repeat begins... so I was wondering if there's a way to just stretch the image from left to right to force it to fit exactly to 98% of the window no matter how big the window is.
Thanks...

That's not entirely true. With CSS, you can stretch a background image to any dimension:
background-size: 10px 100%;
Also see: CSS3 background-size property
Kind regards,

Is there a way to change the true resolution rather than scaling?

Hi,
I have searched through just about every single forum, website and search engine there is and haven't found anything. Perhaps I am phrasing my question wrong. I currently own a Macbook Pro 13.3'' Retina (Of Mid-2014 since I just bought it?) and I can't figure out how to change the resolution. The OS seems to default to 2560x1600 no matter what I set it to because I think all its changing is the scaling. Is there a way to do this? I used to own a Macbook Air 13.3'' which ran 1440x900 and I know that it was pixelated. On the same size display here...when I run the claimed "1440x900" its still ultra sharp which means its using scaling I assume. Any ideas how do I change the actual resolution, not just the scaling. The OSX settings currently seem to be just the equivalent of modifying the DPI like you can in Windows. I want to find out if there is a way to change the actual output resolution.

The MacBook Pro like all laptops has an LCD screen. Like all LCD screens the screen has a single physical resolution, in the case of your MacBook Pro Retina 13.3" it is 2560x1600 pixels. This is the number is dots the screen is physically made of.
In the old days when desktop computers used CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays which looked like TVs these sort of displays could display multiple resolutions in fact CRTs have no single fixed physical resolution. However LCDs which use totally different technology do only have a single 'real' resolution.
If your really interested in how a CRT can do different resolutions then the answer is that a CRT uses an electron beam to excite the phosphor display on the front of the display (to make it glow), it scans from left to right, moves down a line and then does the next line, and so on till it reaches the bottom and then goes back to the top. The speed (rate) at which it does this is known as the horizontal frequency and the vertical (refresh) frequency or rate. If the horizontal line is drawn specific time and that is divided in to 640 units, then it can be told to turn off and on 640 times per line, if the same line is drawn in the same time but the interval is divided in to 1024 then it can 'draw' 1024 horizontal pixels instead of 640 horizontal pixels. In actuality the display has no physical pixel you are merely lighting up small or larger areas on the screen and hence a CRT has no single fixed resolution.
In order for a computer using an LCD display to use a different apparent resolution it has to 'scale' the image to a different size, as a very simple example if we wanted to scale down to 1280x800 pixels which is exactly half 2560x1600 then the computer would use 2x2 (four) physical pixels to represent a single scaled pixel. Often however the chosen scaled resolution may not be an exact multiple like that example. Apple on the Retina display have provided some suggested scaled resolutions which work reasonably well these being 1680 by 1050, 1440 by 900, and 1024 by 640 pixels.
None of these will look as good as 2560x1600 because the screen physically is made up of 2560x1600 dots and no amount of cheating will change that.

Is there a way to make table entries vertical rather than horizontal?

I am wanting to make custom x-axis values which are names of sensors rather than numbers so i was going to just place a table to make the custom values. But i do not think Labview will allow vertical text like it is in the y-axis units. It only allows this for captions and labels. Does anyone know?

Here is a quick demo that is a bit more robust and picks-up on CC's suggestion.
It simply uses a picture control with a transparent background to hold the text labels.
It is in LV 8.0 but should be code-able back to 6.1.
This VI is suitable for use in creating an XControl.
Anyone game?

Is there a way to replace tags on import rather than create duplicates??

I use the tag engine to connect with the KEPWARE OPC server program and at times I want to change how the tags are located inside KEPWARE but keep the same tagnames inside LABVIEW. I export the .scf file and modify it inside EXCEL. When I import it again it will create duplicate tagnames. When you have 4000-8000 tags, it can take awhile to delete the duplicates. It would be great if we could replace the existing tag name data. Maybe I should be creating a vi to modify the properties of individual tags instead. How does anyone else work around this issue??

I would export all of the tags and then modify the ones that need to be modified. Then, before I import them, I would create a new scf file. This way there are no duplicates.

Is There a Way to Make the Background App Be Useable?

Hi. Is there a way to make the background useable? For example, you have a fullscreen only app in the background and you want/wanted (which is the correct grammar btw, those who're native speakers and why?) and you have Safari for some tutorial, is there a way to access the background app (for example if it's a drawing app you're learning).
It is possible I guess if the background is/was (which is the correct grammar again btw and why) was resizable.
Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Another way to be able to get to the tutorial in Safari would be to double-click the titlebar of the drawing app's window. Doing that should minimize it, dropping it into the Dock, thus making the Safari window visible. You can bring the drawing back up and front by clicking its icon in the Dock.
I can see a lot of confusion happening if it were possible to have the top window inactive and one in the back of it active. One would have to be really alert as to which window was the active one, to avoid something happening in the wrong place. I'm glad it doesn't work that way.
As far as the drawing app not behaving in accordance with Apple's guidlines re full-screen windows, well, that's on the publisher of the program. Apple publishes developer guidelines for a reason.

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,
Josh

Is there a way to mute the background music in a slideshow so the audio of an included video can be heard?

I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (710.42) on a MacBook Pro. Some of the slide shows I have developed have videos included along with photos. I have added background music to these slide shows with the sideshow music selector. The videos have audio that I want the viewer to hear, however the background music continues to play and the video audio is hard to hear, and when there is music in the audio of the video, the two musical pieces tend to clash. Is there a way to mute the background music so the audio of the video can be clearly heard?
Thanks,
Dave

That's called 'ducking' and no, not with iPhoto. You need something with more control of the soundtrack.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

When adding a text box to a book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid color, so the text can more easily be seen?

When adding a textbox to a page in a photo book, is there a way to make the background of the textbox a solid background (rather than right on the photo), so that it is easier to read the text?

I don't believe there is a way to change the background of a specific text box, but with some themes you can change the background of the page to a different color. Or are you wanting to put the text box on top of an image?
And I believe you can change the color of the font by highlighting the text, right or control-clicking, and choosing show fonts.

Is there any way to restart Cancled Background job

Dears,
Now we have a very important background job need to run everyday, but sometime it will be canceled due to memory is not enough.
Is there any way to restart Cancled Background job automatically ?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
To start the cancelled job manually
At SM37 just mark the job then click Job -> Change and just reschedule.
For auto
Create another job with same program name and variant , then create background processing event which gets trigger only when your job gets failed.
For Event Creation kindly reach out to ABAPers and for Event based Scheduling you can contact basis team.

Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?.

Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8? There are two options offered in General Preferences, Appearance Options - Dark Grey or Light Grey - but even the Light Grey is much darker than that in Photoshop CS2. I would like to make the background much lighter. All advice will be appreciated.

Thanks for your comments.
I have seen that the background can be changed in PSE7 by using a slider in Preferences- General; I don't understand why Adobe didn't keep that facility.

I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML

Hello Seniors of Sun,
I gota small doubt in HTML, can any one please help me in solving it,
I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML? I have tried and tried to figure this out and cannot..
so any one kindly help me in this...
waiting for reply...

Please note that this is not an HTML forum.
You can use an image tag on a DIV positioned behind the rest of the page, so that could actually work. And if you want to use body:background, then look up an HTML/CSS reference and see if there are any other body attributes or CSS stuff that applies to the background image.

What is the Proper Way to place a Background Image inside a Div?

I have been searching Google and the Adobe forums for awhile now, and while there are very valid solutions to similar problems I found that none of them fixed the problem that I am facing. I blame myself and getting lost in this sloppy coding of mine, so part of my plan was to start my style sheet over from scratch.
My question, what is the proper way to add a background image into a div? I currently have the top div following the "header" css style, here is what I have typed into that sections:
<style type="text/css">
@import url("../twoColLiqLtHdr.css");
.header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 300px;
    background-image: url(Assets/HeaderTemplate.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
The problem here is that the background image isn't even appearing. I would greatly appreciate any help, could anyone inform me on the proper way to doing this so that I can implement images in divs in the future without turning my coding in a down right mess?
Thank you in advance.

I apologize, I'm unable to post a link to the page just yet. This is a snip of coding for a website still in the making for the company I work for.
Would any of the coding below help?:
</script>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<link href="../twoColLiqLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<header class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
<scmenu class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
<tab class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
<body class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
<div class="header" align="" id="header">Content Goes Here</div>
<div class="scmenu" align="" id="scmenu">Content Goes Here</div>
<div class="tabs" align="" id="tabs">Content Goes Here</div>
<div class="body" align="" id="body">Content Goes Here</div>
<div class="footer" align="" id="footer">Content Goes Here</div>

</body>
</html>
That above is parts I added into the source code.
