Making Custom background Folders

Hello, thank you for reading this. I made some files for work and I want to present them professionally, so I want a custom background in it. The problem is, Im using Leopard so I cant just Command-J and choose picture. I obviously need to run some terminal commands. I dont want to use third party apps or regular apps either. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

you have two options:
- buy FileStorm http://www.mindvision.com/filestorm.asp
or follow these istructions:
- Prepare the disk. 
- Build your disk on a temporary partition  The temporary Partition is just a mounted disk image, NOT an actual partition on your hard drive. You create it with Disk Copy, or Toast (see the "Utilities" menu), or whatever. It's just a standard disk image, any decent disk imaging software will do the job. If the target is a CD, make it 690MB or whatever your CD holds minus a few MB for manufacturing errors ;o) 
- Give the volume a name. This is important. The Finder uses this name to find the image later on. 
- Make a nice background pic. The ones here are just desktop pictures grabbed off the web (I was specifically looking for pics I could shrink to fit my disks). Whatever you like.. Save the picture. 
You must save the picture on your new volume, maybe in the root directory. If the images aren't on the disk, they wont travel with the disk.. 
-Drop the image right into the top folder and call it whatever you like, but do make it a jpeg or a png. I usually use jpegs, because they are the smallest format for photos. My originals look much better than the highly compressed pics you see here (even with high quality levels, jpeg compression's file size savings will be enormous)  
Pretty up your folders. 
-Open the folder you want to customise and hit apple-j (or "Command-J" if you prefer). In the "View Options" dialog, click on the picture button at the bottom and locate your tasty new background pic.  I'm hoping that in the future we will be able to set a whole drive's backgrounds in one go, and have a global "X drive" background, another background for User Disk, etc, but for now you'll have to do them all by hand. It doesn't take too long, especially put the PATH of the image location in the clipboard and just keep pasting it into the "Select a picture" dialog box - something like - /Volumes/mydisk/tasty.jpg 
- Hide the pics! 
There are lots of ways to do this, and a plethora of new "extended info managers" have recently sprung up for OS X. I recommend Setfile in the terminal. Quick and easy. 
I guess you could put a "." at the start of the name, but that would be painful in practice.

Retaining Custom Made Folders

Hello, I have some absolutely fantastic apps for making customized folders. In fact, I recommend checking out "Viou" if you have a chance. I especially like the suitcase folders! Anyway, I notice that when I make a customized folder and send it to someone via email it reverts to the plain blue mac folder. So, my question is- How would I go about creating a customized folder and have it remain that way when sent to someone via email? Thanks, Jerry

That's the answer. Initially, I used Stuffit to create the archive without success but then I tried your method and it worked. I found out later that if you wanted to achieve this using Stuffit that the "preserve mackintosh content" box in the compression preferences must be checked. Thanks!

Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

Invoice clearing at the time of making customer reciepts in FBCJ

Hi
I posted one FI Customer invoice. Entry posted:
Customer A/c.. Dr
   To Income A/c
I am making customer reciepts in cash. This receipt is against an invoice i posted above. Entry posted:
Cash A/c... Dr
   To Customer A/c
Aftewards i went to F-32 and then cleared customer debit and credit line items (created above)
Now i want to know whether i clear my invoice in FBCJ itself at the time of posting cash receipts (through FBCJ). The reason for asking this is that user is always forgetting to do F-32.
If yes we can do it, please let me know how we can do. (Work around will also do).
Edited by: Meenu_ND on Jul 13, 2011 2:33 PM

Dear:
       FBCJ postings will result in Cash in to and giving credit to Customer Account. However you will need to clear the customer in in F-32 to clear the ledger account. You can always apply the payment against invoice in F-28 as well (you need to check your clearing procedure in FBKP).
Work around might be to Automatically clear customer in case payment amount is full as of invoice and you have invoice reference updated in assignment field of payment DZ line item. You can achieve it by setting parameter in OB74. This is for your information.

Save Custom Swatch Folders?

Hi,
can I somehow save individual custom Swatch folders? It seems to save only the "Default Swatches" folder (which makes the option for other folders somewhat pointless)...
Is it also possible to adjust the size of the swatch icons/squares?
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. You may only customize and save your default Swatch to be available across all documents by default.
Multiple Swatches/folders option is provided to let you organize (or restrict) the colors for a given project only and gets saved for corresponding project .
You may wish to try out new workflows using the Kuler Panel (that lets you reuse themes) as explained here: Flash Professional Help | Working with Kuler Panel
If you'd like to make any suggestions, post them here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Making custom non-standard components aware of custom look and feels.

Hello all.
Maybe the subject of this post could also be the opposite: "Making custom look and feels aware of non-standard custom components". I'm not sure.
If I code a new custom component (extending JComponent, or extending the UI delegate of a standard component) and pretend it to be laf aware then I must create the corresponding UI delegate for each laf, like it happens to be with standard swing components. But I'm not sure it is feasible to create the UI delegates for all unknown existing custom lafs.
On the other side, if I create a custom laf then I will also create a custom UI delegate for each standard component, but I can not create UI delegate for all unknown existing custom components.
The point here is that standard components and standard lafs are universally known, while custom components (or custom ui delegates) and custom lafs are not.
So the question is: How does a swing developer deal with the case of a new custom component that will be used in an unknown custom laf?
For instance:
1. Custom text UI delegate for dealing with styled documents in JTextField. See {thread:id=2284487}.
2. JTabbedPane with custom UI delegate that paints no tab if the component only contains one tab.
In both cases I need a UI delegate for each known laf, but what happens if the application is using a laf that certainly will not be aware of this custom functionally?
Thank you!

I suggest if you want to make your custom component look & feel aware, you design the way it displays around the l & f of other components that are part of j2se and have l&f implementations.

When I open a new tab in Firefox (v. 5) the custom background I have selected doesn't show. Any thoughts? Thanks

When I open Firefox for the first time, the custom background I have displays. But any time I open a new tab while FF is already running the background displays as white- not showing the custom picture I have selected

Just found out that FoxTab 1.4.2b is causing this problem. Solution? Disable it.

Custom background for UINavigationBar?

Hi,
how to set a custom background image for the whole navigation bar of a navigation controller? I can't find any appropriate API method.
I tried already to mess around with the views of the UINavigationBar to insert my background view - with the result no not-showing buttons and titles :-/
Also subclassing of UINavigationBar with a new drawRect method does not lead to anywhere - there is simply now way to set the navigation bar for a UINavigationController!
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias Huber

Create a category that extends UINavigationBar:
@implementation UINavigationBar (UINavigationBarCategory)
-(void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage*)image{
if(image == NULL){ //might be called with NULL argument
return;
UIImageView *aTabBarBackground = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
aTabBarBackground.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.frame.size.width,self.frame.size.height);
[self addSubview:aTabBarBackground];
[self sendSubviewToBack:aTabBarBackground];
[aTabBarBackground release];
@end
And call this method from wherever you are initializing your UINavigationController:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
// Initialization code
// Create the navigation and view controllers
SinglePlayerRootViewController *_rootViewController = [[SinglePlayerRootViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *_navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:_rootViewController];
self.navigationController = _navigationController;
[_navigationController release];
[_rootViewController release];
// set the image for the top navigation bar
[[navigationController navigationBar] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"NavigationBarBackgroundTop.png"]];
// Configure and show the window
[self.view addSubview:navigationController.view];
return self;
I hope this helps!

Custom background image for 7942 IP phones on CCM 6.1.2

All,
i am unable to create the custom background images for the Cisco 7942 IP phone, i am running a CCM version 6.1.2. I have uploaded the Image files and also the List.xml file, but when i click on custom images i dont see the image that i uploaded and it say "no selection available". And also after i uploaded the files i have restrated the TFTP services.Have attached the images and List.xml files.Please have a look @ them and let me know if i am missing something here.
Thanks,
Rohith

First off, as this is a CUCM question, you'd be better of over in the IP Telephoney forum (
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/ip-telephony )
The thing that jumps out at me is the case of the filename. CUCM Runs on Linux which is case sensitive. Try matching the case.
If that doesn't help, try looking at the phone logs or Wiresharking the phone.

Custom background images in pop-up menus?

Can I use custom background images in FW MX (v6) popup menus?
If so, how can I get them in there? If I can't do it in FW, is
there a way to modify the JavaScript to call on the appropriate
images? And, if I can get custom images in there, with embedded
text, is there a way to make the navigation elements "crawlable" by
search engine bots? I'm trying to achieve a particular visual
effect for my client's website, and use a custom font in the menu
cells -- hence HTML text won't work.
I also seem to be getting a one-pixel transparent space
between the cells that looks weird. Any advice?
Any help is appreciated.
Jeff

Batch convert png to jpeg with custom background

How to batch convert pngs to jpegs, but using custom background ? Is there any action or plugin for that ?

Image Processor in conjunction with an Action (that places and positions a background for example) should suffice.

Schema/database name, custom sql folders

We have created a single EUL for all business areas and when you create a simple or complex folder you can set the database attribute to default. Is there any way to do this with custom sql folders?
Thanks, Jennifer

oops, I don't think I gave enough information. In the custom folder the code is
select c1, c2, c3 from schema_name.some_table
(Discoverer refers to 'schema_name' as a 'database attribute' in simple & complex folders). We want to run a report, based on the custom folder, as a different user, attached to a different schema eg schema_b and get the results from schema_b. We can do this with simpe & complex folders by setting the 'database attribute' to <default> but can't find a way with custom folders.
Thx Jennifer

Discoverer Admin - Convert Db Object folders to custom SQL folders

Hi,
We are operating in a non-Apps EUL and have a large number of folders, with associated joins, reports etc, based directly on objects in the database (i.e. they were created using the 'new folder from database...' dialog).
We'd now like to add some SQL logic into these EUL folders - is it possible to convert these folders to Custom folders within Discoverer Admin? or will I have to recreate the folders, joins, reports etc from scratch?
Alternatively, is it possible to take an existing report and point it to the new Custom SQL folders without having to rebuild the report?
Any help much appreciated,
Ien Hien

Hi
Discoverer embeds the names of folders and joins into a workbook.
If you want to change a workbook from one folder to another you would have to do the following:
1. Examine the join names between the original folder and other folders
2. Change the name and identifier of the old workbook - try adding old to the end
3. Edit the joins and rename them and their identifiers too
4. Rename the new folder and identifier to match the old folder - these have to be exactly the same
5. Add joins between the new folder and the other folders, once again naming exactly the same as the old joins
6. Make sure all of the item names exist in the new folder
7. Hide the old folder so that the users see only one folder
8. Open your workbooks - they now should run
If workbooks still fail to run this means you have named a folder name or identifier wrong or named a join wrong.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael
