LV Bug? - Blink Background color only red after build

It seems no matter what I choose for a Tools/Options/Environment/Blink Background color during debug (which works perfectly), the color will always revert back to the default of red after I build the application. I realize I can choose the colors but I would like to know why the blink color reverts back to red when the application is built. I am running LV2011 but I have noticed this in many of the previous versions as well. (I have tried changing the color from the project level as well as the debug level.)
Solved!

To smercurio_fc - correct me if I am wrong but there are many things in the Tools\Options catagories that are built into the executable either directly or through the .ini file. It appears to me that the blinking colors are the only thing that doesn't make it into the build or the .ini file.
That would be incorrect. There are LOTS of things that are in the labview.ini file that are not in the application's default .ini file. Most (if not all) of the Tools->Options settings are saved in the labview.ini file.
Also, what is this 'build spec' that I may specify the color?
I was referring to the "Advanced" page where you can specify a custom .ini file to include. Please read the documentation on the application builder.

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.

Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

Why background color only works partially?

Hi,
I've tried to use "<d_iv class="myclass">" || #columnvalue#|| "</d_iv>" (it's div actually) in the query to make a specific column to be red at the background. Just like this:
http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=rkx8c4
However, it seems the color only applies partially, not fill the cell completely. Any hints? Thanks.

Hi Carl and Vikas,
Thanks for the help. However I tried to follow the EXACT way Vikas did but got this kinda output:
http://i1.tinypic.com/rtqr1l.jpg
The other weird thing was that I have to always manually put
'<d_iv class="foo"> ||#column# ||'</d_iv>' (it's div actually) into the query to make the style works, otherwise there is no effect at all, although I put the marker class to be the CSS class for the specific column.
I am using a customized generic column report template to render different row colors. I am not sure whether that's the reason which caused the problem. The templat uses the value of a column to decide the background color of rows.
Any work around of this? Thanks.

My iPAD 1 just changed its background color to red. The unit is 3 years old. Is something breaking? Time for a new iPAD?

I am wondering if my iPAD (1st generation) has a major problem since the background color recently went to red?
The unit still works, but the appearance makes me think something is wrong and can only be fixed by buying a new iPAD.
Has anyone had this strange color change and how did you handle it?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, since I had forgotten how to reboot the unit.
Unfortunately, the red color persists and even beyond that there are some odd colors while the unit is in use.
Thank again.

How to change background color only in specific pages???

Hi! I try to change color of background in pdf document using adobe reader, but it only changes all pages together and I can't find a way to do it on selected pages(or even select them). For example I need to change only 1st and last page to grey background color and leave the middle pages with white background color. Please help! Thanks

I seldom use Word so I can't help you with that problem. It could be in the way you are adding the background in Word but again, I use it about oncve a month.
If you have Adobe Illustrator, you could do it there by adding a colored box in a layer behind the text (you can open the pdf directly in Illy).

Background colors became different after deployment

I wrote a Swing app which contains a bunch of JPanels. I set the background color of them to darkGray. Everything worked fine while I was working on it and running it in JDeveloper. But after I deployed it using a jar, the colors of the JPanels turned from darkGray to lightGray. Also I had set the row height of the JTables to a specific integer and that formatting dissapeared after deployment as well. Anyone have any ideas why this happened.
Thanks in advance.

Could be that you are using different versions of java in you development and deployment environments

Background color only, no images :(

Hi and thank you,
Yes I'm new to DW be gentle :D Ive searched a bunch of other

File not found.
You sure you uploaded this to your server?
It says in the source now that you have it in your images
folder - yet it
isn't there, or its named something else.
Check the file on the server, and the naming of it also.

BUG(?): background color not in print profile

When printing a photo from Lightroom 3 with paper background color this color is not corrected for printing, although I print with icc, print profile from Spyderprint. The photo itself is corrected. This means that the paper backround is colored instead of gray, for example.
Is this a bug? I think so, because I there is no way I can change this.
Thanks

Hello CameraHans (are you Dutch, by the way?)
The whole border or sheet has a color cast. The photo itself has not. Both are in greys, so I will do as you suggested and look what happens when I do this in colors.
I will insert 3 screenshots, 2 of the Lightroom environment, and 1 of the print preview, I used here the 'contour' to show the effect. You can very well see that the color of the border does not change at all, Thanks, Hans van den Berg

Change spry submenu background color only?

Is there a way to change the background or background color
on the spry horizontal or vertical menus without changing the main
menus?

Also, whether you are using a vertical or horizontal menu you
can find the necessary tag within CSS. Adobe as done a fairly good
job on commenting exactly what is going on.
I worked on a project for Alabama Marriage & Family using
horizontal menus. You can take a look at my navigation and see how
I structured my CSS. Each sub-menu actually has different CSS
properties so it made it a little more difficult.

Menu background color has changed after applying Forms Patch3 (10.1.2.3.0)

Hi,
we have applied Patch3 on our Forms Environment.
Now the menu background color has changed from green to gray (colorScheme is "teal" in formsweb.cfg).
This behavior isn't documented and our customer want's to get the green menubar back...
Any hints?

Background color change on Flex builder editor

I have been searching around to see if there is a way to
change the editor's backgorund. After long hours of coding, the
white background hurt my eyes.
I know wehre ti change the text color, and the background
color of the console, but not the editor (source). Any idea?

hi
if you are using flex builder 3 you go to to:
window->preferences
then select General and inside it select Editors
Inside editors you have Text Editors, select that and you
will see what you want.

Spry Bug? Background Colors/Images not showing in IE6/XpP

I'm trying to wrap up my site for MiniMAX SE7EN (Cheap plug,
it's on 6/26 in DC) and I've got a Spry Accordion Component I used
in Dreamweaver CS3 to display all the speakers and then I switched
the CSS file to allow for different colors and a background image
to show through. Seems fine in Firefox and IE7 but in IE6 for PC's,
it appears black and only black. Is this a Spry bug or something I
screwed up with regarding the CSS?
http://www.minimaxconference.com/

I am having the same problems in IE7. I'm using the latest
version of everything (Spry 1.6.1 and javascript file version 0.12)
and at first I was having the problem on my drop down menus
appearing horizontal with all the correct styles but when I changed
the rule ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to position: relative; the drop
downs appear vertical now but I have no beige border around the
whole ul anymore and I'm getting white space inbetween list items.
http://www.wusf.usf.edu/Header_Nav_Footer_newStyleSheet.cfm
so if anyone has any advice I'd much appreciate it. Also i'm
using 1px width on my borders no decimals.

Can't render background color in JComboBox, after selection.

I don't understand why this problem is so difficult. It is driving me nuts.
If I create a renderer for a Jcombobox, it will correctly render TEXT and COLOR if it is displaying it in the pop up list, but as soon as it has been selected, the combo will render TEXT correctly but will ignore COLOR. I have tried playing around with opacity and with the editors, but it just seems as if JComboBox renderers do not work 100% as expected.
Here is my text code. All I want is for the color of X or Y to be reflected in the selected element :
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.DefaultListCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class CustomComboBoxDemo extends JPanel {
    public CustomComboBoxDemo() {
        super(new BorderLayout());
        String[] s = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" };
        JComboBox c = new JComboBox(s);
        JComboBox c2 = new JComboBox(s);
        c.setOpaque(true);
        ComboBoxRenderer renderer= new ComboBoxRenderer();
        c.setRenderer(renderer);
        c2.setRenderer(renderer);
        JPanel p = new JPanel();
        p.add(c);
        p.add(c2);
        add(p);
    class ComboBoxRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer {
        public ComboBoxRenderer() {
            setOpaque(true);
        public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
                                           JList list,
                                           Object value,
                                           int index,
                                           boolean isSelected,
                                           boolean cellHasFocus) {
             JLabel c = (JLabel)super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
             if (value.toString().equals("3")) {
                 c.setText("X");
                 c.setBackground(Color.RED);
             } else {
                 c.setText("Y");
                 c.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
             return this;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("CustomComboBoxDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(new CustomComboBoxDemo());
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}

I think the problem has to do with the Alloy look and feel. If I use the Systsem look and feel then the setBackground() method does not colour in the button (just the textfield)
This has fixed my initial problem :

IMAC Yosemite FIREFOX 33.0.2 still getting blank windows after turning off hardware acceleration, they occur in the background and only seen after closing and r

I noticed when my Firefox is minimized that I can not reopen from the Dock on my MAC. So I stop Firefox and reopen, when doing so I get a mixed number of blank windows. After closing these then Firefox behaves as desired until after a bit it all happens again. I read the Windows fix and hoped hardware acceleration would fix it but it does not.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

Airplay Video from 3rd party apps is not going to be available until the next version of IOS. The youtube app ships with the iPhone which is why it has it, but for other apps you have to wait until IOS 4.3 for the feature to be available.
