Numbers v5 Setting custom fill colours

With the loss of the top bar cell and font options the new sidebar inpsector contains a more limited range of standard Colour Fill colours, and most are very strong colours. I would like to use the slightly wider range of colours offered in the previous version of Numbers. Is there any way of adding a few custom colours to this selection. I have set some custom colours in the separate colours dialogue box, but prefer not to have to have this open all the time when the Inspector in open all the time as well
This is also a problem in Pages v5
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Emily,
Bring up the Colour window (shift command c).
Step 1. Create a colour (I can't get an arrow or number 1 on top of this screen shot).
Step 2. Your colour will appear as shown by Arrow 2.
Step 3. Drag the colour to the custom palette shown by Arrow 3.
Step 4. Drag from the custom palette to a table cell.
As a test, I Quit Numbers and relaunched. The custom colour was still in the custom palette.
Regards,
Ian.
Edit: Step 3, drag from the colour pane (Arrow 2) to the custom palette (Arrow 3). Ian.

Filled colour as a variable? and setting layer to not block the content underneath?

I wonder if it's possible to take the filled colour (filled with myColor.setRGB(0x993366); like a colouring style) and set the colour filled to be a value of a variable in an if statement? if yes, anyone know how to do it?
and is it possible to set a layer's content so that it does not block any button underneath it? I'm trying use that movie as a mask but I do not want it to block any activity underneath it. or is it better to use the myMovieClip .setMask ( maskMovieClip )(I don't really know how to use this) I only need the masking to appear when a specific button is pressed. Hope my english isn't too confusing. Thanks.

Yes. If you check the documentation for the Color class you will see there is a getRGB() method which returns the value set by the setRGB() method. However it doesn't tell you what color something is, it tells you what color transform has been assigned to that object. So if you make a movie of a red square and you do this:
var myColor:Color=new Color(myClip);
trace(myColor.getRGB()); // traces "0"
Which could either mean it has been tranformed to black or that it has no transform (which is the case here.)
What you are seems more complicated than it probably needs to be. What are you actually trying to do? How are these clips having their transforms assigned? What does it mean that they are a certain color.
As for the layer thing. I have no idea what you are talking about.
BTW, here is something you didn't ask for. Using the on(event) type handler coding went out of style with the introduction of Flash 6 in 2002. It is a very inefficient way to code and is very difficult to maintian because you have to look through all your items to find the code. Most folks these days put the code on the timeline where it is all in one place and easier to maintain. Here is a great article about it:

What happened to the range of cell fill colours in Numbers v3?. Can I get them back?

I've just upgraded to Mavericks and the latest version of numbers has the cell fill box on the right hand side margin. The colour box has a much smaller range of colours.
I'd like to put those tools back on the top bar with the original colour range. Is this possible?

Ella,
I don't know how to add a tool to the toolbar. I have found that you can get the Colors Pane to display by clicking on the little color pane symbol as shown below (I don't know what to call that control).

Render Fill Colour on SVG Dial Sweep at Runtime

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
I have been evaluating the various Dial charts in ApEX v3.0.1 and feel that the SVG 'Dial - Sweep' chart best meets my needs. I would like the fill colour to be determined at runtime depending on whether the returned value is above or below a set 'high' value.
As an example,
SELECT <x> value, -- if below 80 then fill is red, else fill is green
100 maximum_value,
0 low_value,
80 high_value
FROM dual;
As the comment states if the returned value is below the stated high value (80%) I want the sweep to be filled in Red (#FF0000) and for other values (>= 80%) to be filled in Green.
I see that there are CSS entries that could potentially be manipulated:
#dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
#dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
I just am unsure as to how to change the fill colours of these dynamically at runtime dependant on the result from my SQL Query source.
Is anyone able to offer some guidance and examples please?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is able to offer any examples or suggestions to this post.
I have a workaround which is to create two Charts, each with a different colour scheme and Conditional Display logic (Exists) on each Chart that determines whether the returned value is greater (or less) than the stated high value (80% in my example).
As I am displaying 6 Charts on this page, there is a huge performance overhead in running 12 Conditional Display logic SQL Statements plus the actual Chart SQL Statement.
I'm wondering whether I can utilise any of the standard Attribute features, such as "Onload Javascript".
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Javascript so I'm not sure if (or how) I can reference the SQL Statement Value for comparison with the stated high value, or whether I can use it to change the CSS entries - #dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;} and #dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
As I say, any examples or suggestions greatly appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Shape fill colour preview

Hi ,
I have been searching around the setting and the net and no luck , wondering how to turn off fill clour preview of a vector shape before the path is closed .
I am in Photoshop CC.
Thanks

I am drawing irregular vector shapes with fill colour . However , i do not want the fill colour to be previewed before it closed.
In CS6 , i pressed 1 to make opactity 10% to draw first and 0 to resume solid colour .
But when i just installed CC , i was amazed that the the path has not solid fill colour previewd before i closed the path/shaped . The thing is today when i was trying to draw again , the fill colour preview appeared again . So, i guess there might be a setting to toggle the preview.

Custom background Colour of tree component

I want to set custom background to each node of the tree
component.
I've tried
myTree.setPropertiesAt(2, {backgroundColor:0x000000});
or
myTree.getTreeNodeAt(2).setStyle("backgroundColor",
0x000000);
but also not working
how could I do this?
pls help.

From the API docu
Further, if you do not invoker super's implementation you must honor the opaque property, that is if this component is opaque, you must completely fill in the background in a non-opaque color. If you do not honor the opaque property you will likely see visual artifacts.
I read this as either call super.paintComponent() or you must draw a filled rectangle of the background color yourself, but that whether it changes the background color or not, also depends on the setOpaque(true).
Reading that it seems as though it is a combination of our suggestions.

[AS] Set Gradient Fill Angle

I am using XTags to build a document in ID, but for some reason all my gradient fills have a 0degree angle and they all need changing to 90deg.
I can change a single box successfully, so I know the 'core' line of script works. My problem is finding a loop that does the job. The results are erratic. If the boxes with the fills are part of a group they don't change. If I ungroup everything (which I don't want to do as each group is a product image, description, price and need to move together), then a change happens - but although the gradient box shows 90deg, the boxes all look to be filled with solid red (instead of light to dark red as they should be).
This is the sort of thing I'm playing with:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
tell document 1
set gradboxes to object reference of every text frame whose name of fill color is "PromotionTypeGradient"
repeat with i in gradboxes
tell i
set gradient fill angle to 90
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
I tried doing this with find/change, but got the same result - the fill seems to be solid red.
Any suggestions? Is my approach fundamentally wrong?
Thanks
Emma

Aha! Yes it was the grouped items. I still have a problem where the colour seems to go solid, but I think that's just my monitor. When I redefine the gradient with contrasting colours (as opposed to 2 shades of red as it should be) it all works, so I will try this at work tomorrow and fingers crossed a lot of time will be saved.
Thanks!

Finding cells by content en replace stroke & fill colour

I have generated in InDesign CS3 a catalogue with hundreds of tables.
unfortunatly there was a mistake or two in building the tables. In a way I need to replace a stroke colour from a cell and also a fill colour.
So my question is if there is a way in InDeisgn CS3 for automatically...
searching in a document for table cells with "text colour Black_EN" AND "fill colour Black_EN" and change that particular cell stroke colour in Black_EN
searching in a document for table cells with "text colour Black_EN" AND "fill colour Black" and change that particular cell fill colour in Black_EN
Can someone help me with a usable script? I'm a newie to scripting so any help is usefull!
thanks in advance, Pascal (form Belgium)

Aaahh .. the old adage of one picture equalling a thousand words. In this case, the words are rather long, as the image is >280K.
O-kay. You have lots of tables, possibly some with bad colors, but the text is always the correct color. How does this sound: you click inside any table, and the script checks the current text color (*). Then it sets all strokes to that color, and the fill of every cell with a 50% fill pattern. It means you can select a table, run the script, select the next, run the script, etc. until done (or utterly bored, whatever comes first).
(*) Actually, the text color of the first character in the top left cell. I hope that's not a problem.
The script is fairly indifferent to your selection: anywhere inside, in the text, or with a cell, row, column or even the entire table selected is no problem.
Graag gedaan! (having them English folks choke on our Dutch gees)
table = app.selection[0];
if (table.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Cell)
table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Column)
table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Row)
table = table.parent;
if (!(table instanceof Table))
alert ("Echt niet in een tabel!");
exit(0);
color = table.cells[0].characters[0].fillColor;
black = app.activeDocument.swatches.item("Black");
table.cells.everyItem().properties = {
topEdgeStrokeColor:color,
bottomEdgeStrokeColor:color,
leftEdgeStrokeColor:color,
rightEdgeStrokeColor:color };
for (aCell=0; aCell<table.cells.length; aCell++)
if (table.cells[aCell].fillTint == 50)
table.cells[aCell].fillColor = color;

Issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4

Hello,
I am facing issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4
It is not picking up the implemented UserManager (in custom IDM) implemented via ServiceProvider and IdentityStoreService.
This is configured in jps-config.xml
The same setup was working in soa 11.1.1.2
I believe there is a change done in JpsProvider in bpm-service.jar to authenticate via default login context from oracle.security.jps.internal.jaas.module.authentication.JpsUserAuthenticationLoginModule
If my uderstanding is correct,
Please guide me in implementing custom identity store and services for bpm services for soa 11.1.1.4
Tried various work arounds but no luck.
Thanks
Bala

Hi...
Can u tell me how did u set up custom identity service for 11.1.1.2 ?
Thanks

In the old Numbers I could change the colour of a checkbox using rules - I cannot seem to do this in new Numbers 2013?

In the old Numbers I could change the colour of a checkbox using rules - I cannot seem to do this in new Numbers 2013?
I have an old Numbers sheet where I could make the checkbox Cell go Green when ticking "Equal to" TRUE. When I open the old sheet it into new iWork it functions correctly. But I am unable to copy or paste the rule - nor recreate it.
Any suggestions on how to create a Conditional checkbox cell that goes green once ticked would be most apprecicated.
Thanks - Steve

Numbers 3.0 is missing the logic-based "equal to TRUE" or "equal to FALSE" conditions for conditional formatting. The replacement is text based: "text is TRUE" or "text is FALSE". You can apply these rules to cells formatted as checkboxes.

How to set custom font family in qml label in black berry 10 os

how to set custom font family in label text qml in black berry 10 OS

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Jeets.

How to set custom master page for sharepoint application page ?

Hello,
I need to apply custom master page for the custom application page I created for login purpose.
Can anyone please let me know how to apply master page for custom application page ?
Note : I need to set custom master page for application page at web application level.
thanks,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hi Dipti,
You can use the same reference as ASP.NET
Example
"<%@ Page Language="C#" masterpagefile="../_catalogs/masterpage/minimal.master" title="teste" inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" meta:webpartpageexpansion="full"
meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %>"
You can use SharePoint Designer 2010
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573 to make the reference from you aspx page to you custom masterpage.
When you are editing a aspx page you can go to ribbon "Style" and attach the custom Masterpage.

Here is the code of the Button in the skin class of spark title window.
<s:Button id="closeButton" skinClass="spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowCloseButtonSkin"
