Motif L&F: support for color schemes?

I want to use the Motif L&F in my Java application, but I want the color scheme to be chosen as per the users installed Color theme(using the CDE Style Manager).
Having a default bluish grey UI does not blend well with my 'Desert' or 'Delphinium' color theme... how can I achieve this in my java app with minimal code?
Thanks

Doesnt look like Sun provided support for Themes in
Motif L&F...
I tried the SwingSet demo on Solaris, and when Motif
L&F is chosen, the Theme drop down gets disabled...Got Mantis? The GTK L&F in 1.4.2 supports themes. Otherwise, you might be able to do what you want by subclassing MotifLookAndFeel--just that class, I mean, not the whole L&F. You would actually be creating a new L&F that uses all of the Motif UI delegate classes, but replacing its color scheme with your own. I've never tried it, so it might not be that simple--and if it takes any more effort than that, it's not worth it. Not with the GTK L&F already out there, and the Synth L&F coming in 1.5.
and, as an aside, the SwingSet font in the 'view
source' pane is extremely small and unreadable on
Solaris... looks like sloppy workmanship!
It's the same on Windows. I believe it's due to a known bug that causes the HTML renderer to make Swing's already-too-small fonts, even smaller.

Support for XML schema by Sun's parser

Does Sun's ProjectX XML parser proovide support for XML schema.

The JAXP conformance documentation does not mention about XML Schemas, therefore it does not yet support it. If you are looking for an XML parser that supports XML Schema validation, you can download Multi Schema Validator (MSV) from http://www.sun.com. Xerces 2.0.0 beta 3 mentions support for XML Schema. I have not tested it though. Hope this helps.

API support for color extraction feature

Is there API support for color extraction feature? if not, is
it scheduled?

Hello, thanks for the post.
In order to provide the best user experience for color
extraction, we had to split the functionality between client-side
and server-side, so we are not able to offer an API for this
functionality at this time. We are, however, very interested in
feedback on what kinds of APIs are interesting to you and how you
are interested in using them, so folks, please let us know.
Current APIs, including the new Random theme browsing view
and to view comments to your themes, are available on the
kuler API
wiki. We've seen some really fabulous and creative use of the
kuler APIs, and we look forward to more.

Help and suggestions for color scheme for multiple flavor package design

I need help choosing colors for a multiple flavor food product line.
My objective in this post is to know how to create or acquire the palette I will need in order to proceed with design, mock ups, marketing collateral etc.
This project requires a color scheme that has enough contrast and variation to represent up to 24 flavors of food packages per type or line of products. Each product flavor or flavor combination (the name of the item, such as Cherry Cocoa Almond or Apricot Vanilla Bean etc.) in the line will be represented by a single color. The product packaging will be white on solid color. The medium will be laser print on gloss label stock.
The problem is that many flavors will use similar colors. Chocolate items will have different hues of browns and Maple or Nut flavors will also use brown tones. Likewise Orange, Apricot and Mango will use similar hues of orange etc. I know the problem could be solved with dual or multiple colors but I do not have that option for this project. All of the packaging is white on single color. There are no accent colors used.
I need to generate the palette before designing the packaging in order to create mock ups for print and then photography for print marketing collateral and internet marketing assets etc.
Does anyone have a good strategy for this or know of any resources available?
I am using:
Dell Precision T1700 (64-bit)
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
Dual screens (not calibrated to Pantone or printer)
Printer: Konica Minolta bizhub c224e
Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated and Uncoated book
Adobe CC, AI, PS, ID etc.
I am printing onto gloss labels for mock ups and will be using images for web.
I would also be interested in knowing how to calibrate these devices.
Thanks!

When it comes to design and design sense, sometimes just the name of the item could generate ideas. There really is no right or wrong way to come up with concepts. But, reaching out to other people is a good way of going about it. In product development, I always recommend putting together some sort of focus group and brainstorm ideas back and forth. In larger corporate product departments you would have product managers defining their product descriptions. You might have a marketing group head get involved. Well, I know I am not telling you anything you didn't already know. I'm just saying that, as a designer, I always present my ideas to a few people to get feedback. And, based on that, I can then further develope the idea or dump it and start over. I recently was involved with a new product development and came up with some really great conceptuals. But, then I was told by a product manager that sometimes you have to roll-out something preliminary and, in a few years of selling tons of great items, you then revamp the entire line with a tag that reads "new and improved". This might work in your case where you have limited resources initially. Hope you do well. You could always post screen grabs of what you are thinking and we could give you feedback, too. Just a thought.

Will Edge include support for color coding for ASP Classic .asp files

We have some old sites running asp Classic (Active server Pages)
How can I add color coding for .asp files?

Edge Code should already highlight .asp files as plain HTML. If you're looking for highlighting of the ASP-specific code, that is something Edge Code does not plan to support out of the box.
It is possible to write an extension that adds this support, but it would not be a small amount of work -- you'd have to write a tokenizer yourself to support syntax highlighting, for example. Details on writing an extension that adds a new language can be found here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Language-Support#defining-a-new-language

JDK support for XML Schema

Hi,
Does anyone know when XML Schema will be supported by the default implementation of JAXP that is delivered with the JDK?

Sorry, actually look better at JAXB - misread you.
Still, it can.

Color Scheme Help!

Looking for color scheme suggestions for a web site that
deals with Historic Preservation and Education. It's for a City, so
nothing too flashy.
Any suggestions would help!

hmmm... do you have an identity already? logo, etc? maybe
some color in there could serve as the base?
also, how about thinking about this from a historical
perspective.... every period has a "color history" – popular
colors used during that era... what were the colors used in that
time period in your region? have you visited some of the
buildings/homes that are protected in that city's preservation
society? what are the common colors in them? take photos and use
them as base colors for kuler themes, creating triads and compund
themse around them.

Oracle Maps RC1 - Color scheme - opacity bug

Hi,
In Advanced styles -> Color scheme - when I set opacity - takes no effect - preserves 100%
thanks,
Branislav

Hi Brasnilav,
currently the color opacity value seems to be not considered for color scheme styles in MapViewer, although the interface in MapBuilder has the option to change. We will look into this for future version.
Thanks.

Java Basic CMYK color scheme Support

Is java has basic CMYK color scheme suppotr as i look in java.awt.Color class of Java6 and java7. We can only pass RGB in color constructor. I used some libraries but it only supports CMYK convert to RGB not directly choosing color from CMYK. Please suggest if any library available in Java to directly get color from CMYK color scheme.
Edited by: user9098607 on Aug 11, 2011 2:41 AM

You'll need to get a ICC profile . After that you can use the http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/color/ICC_ColorSpace.html class for your needs . A quick google search would give you the code required.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme. I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use.
The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better. My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Colors Lack of Support for Nvidia!

I switched to Mac for the sole purpose of using "Final Touch"..shortly after it was purchased and is now Color. I bought the new studio package and loaded it all on my Workstation. Low and behold...no support for Firewire out!!...so I will have to buy an AJA earlier then planned...and I can only get 8 bit color renderning depth in settings regardless of footage quality, bit depth, resolution, or codec. My system is a Dual Quad Core 3GHZ so 8 CPUS "Octo Mac" with 9GB of RAM and 2 TB RAID storage with a Nvidia Quadro 4500! It's rather frustrating that the highest end system apple can make is crippled in Color and I have to get a lesser system (ATI card) to make it run optimally. Any answers? I purchased the Quadro because I work in Maya...but now I think I will have to save the $1400 difference and get the ATI card so I can work in a higher bit depth , and afford to purchase a High end AJA card for output. Any ideas or answers?

Hello,
i posted another thread about the limitation of 8bit color depth and no realtime playback and found out that it was the same problem. We had a nvidia card installed. I just installed the app on a 8core intel with ati x1900 and it works impressivley well. Perfect playback and performance. We are putting primary, 3 secondaries with super soft gradients and a pan and scan plus output correction and the systems delivers still 22fps in 2k dpx sequences. Quite amazing. But yes, nvidia gave us 8fps with an uncorrected image.
Get the x1900 it will make you happy.

Skype for Business color scheme

The new Skype for Business looks as if colored by a preschooler with two crayons; blue and blue. It is difficult to read and simply looks unprofessional.
Please include an option to change the color scheme in the next release.

I second the motion. IT rolled out the Skype for Business and I literally typed out one message to a user and saw the blue-on-blue color theme and started clicking frantically. It is too bright and having both parties appear in blue is confusing and quite frankly WRONG.
Please allow users to customize this. I suggest a box that says "Chat Box Background Color" that has a couple of different options. Please talk to your programmers. I am pretty sure this is an easy fix.
Thanks.

No, it does not.

Color space support for png files

kindly suggesting :
color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

Hi ChrisT,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
HP Support Assistant Application Update
So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
Cheers,
D

ALTERNATE COLOR SCHEME TRICK FOR MACS

Hey guys.
Just found a little built in "trick" that is kinda cool. Press Control, Option, Command and 8 at the same time on your keyboard. The color scheme of your monitor will go into negative color - all colors are reversed here - whites are now black, etc. The colors will stay in this mode until you press the buttons again. I've been told this works on all Macs but I cannot guarantee this. It does work on the G5 I'm currently using though. This may be old news to older Mac users, but I'm sure some newer Mac people including myself (until 10 minutes ago) did not or do not know about this. Try it out and let me know what you guys think.
Cheers
Andrew

Templeton.
Thanks for the info. There's a few other interesting things under Universal Access as well. I would think the majority of newer Mac users have no idea about these things...Good to know.
