Opaque background/workspace for CS3 in Leopard

I've just migrated from CS3 Windows to CS3 Mac on a Mac Pro.
I am not seeing how I get CS3 to open with an opaque background. When I open the program but have not selected an image, I see the upper menu bar, the right palettes, the left tool bar, but the rest of the screen is just transparent (empty) and my desktop shows through.
Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. I don't see a way to reset the workspace to get an always-opaque background.

Stan,<br />>Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.<br /><br />It's a traditional Macintosh convention that Mac users generally accept as part of the user experience. It also makes it quick and easy to click on (select) other open documents, applications, or directory windows that are lying under your working window.<br /><br />That said, in Photoshop you can press the F key (it will cycle through variants with each key press) as a way of masking the desktop. You can also easily set the desktop itself to be neutral grey (or background of your choice). <br /><br />And there are third-party utilities that can make your desktop more Windows-like -- not that I'm recommended this. <g><br /><br />There has been some heated discussion on this issue in other topics in this forum, such as: <a href="/webx?14@@.59b55825/0">"CS 3 PS and Ill work area is transparent can see desktop-What is this?"</a><br /><br />Neil

Semi-opaque background rectangle for subtitles

There should be a simple answer for this, but can't seem to find it after hours combing through the archives.
I want to have subtitles for a documentary using FCP HD (no plug-ins) and have succeeded creating the text. But I want a transluscent box in which the text appears, to help its readability... darkish box for white text, or whitish box for black text. I've fooled around with "Shapes--Rectangle" but am just improvising and the results are dismal. I'd be very grateful for a walk-through for a graphics newbie.
Thanks!

I want to have subtitles for a documentary using FCP HD (no plug-ins) and have succeeded creating the text. But I want a transluscent box in which the text appears, to help its readability... darkish box for white text, or whitish box for black text.
This might not be feasible if you've already created all your subtitles - as opposed to having created only a few for testing purposes - but what you want can be accomplished all in one spot: the Outline Text generator in FCP.
If you go via the 'A' button in the Viewer: Text > Outline Text. If you prefer the Effects tab: Video Generator > Text > Outline Text.
Anyhow, once Outline Text is loaded into the Viewer...
Hit the Controls tab and scroll down, to reveal the Background Settings
By default, the background is 'turned off.' That is, Horizontal Size and Vertical Size are both set to 0.
To get it working, I usually set Horizontal Size to 106 and Vertical size to 102.
Alter Back Soft to 2. (That is, unless you want a hard edge to your box)
Adjust Back Opacity if you want, though I find that setting Opacity to less than 40 starts to get counter productive. I usually leave it at 50, myself.
Optional: alter your Text Settings to move away from (or completely eliminate) the not-so-subtle default settings for Outline Width. (50!!!)
(Not to mention adjust all the other font settings to your liking, but I think you're old hat at all that now.)
Like I said, not the easiest adjustment to make if you've got all your subtitles done, but certainly the simplest way to do what you're asking (if it helps in the future).

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,
Nishanth.C

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

Set property for background color for JButton

I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
I would appreciate your advice.

Background image for PanelDashboard

Hi ,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I have one PanelDashboard in my page I need show one background image for that Dash Board.
The image is very small so It showing multiple times entirely occupy the page.So I I try with below CSS codes but now the image is not showing.
I want to show the image only once and the also exact place.
+.backgroundImage+
+{+
position: absolute;
background-image: url("../img/sampleImage.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 1;
margin: 0.0pt ;
+}+
Thanks,
Arun D.

Hi,
actually I would use skinning for this and reference the panel dashboard skin selector. You also need to set the panelBoxes contained in the dash board to have opaque background as otherwise they will overlay your background image

Problems with CS3 and Leopard

Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Support for Mac OS X Leopard
Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.
At A Glance: Mac OS X Leopard Compatibility
ADOBE APPLICATION COMPATIBLE WITH REQUIRES UPDATE NOTES ABOUT

Installing CS3 on Leopard

I apologize for what is probably a repeat question, but here
goes. I
recently upgraded to Leopard on my MacBook Pro. It seems to
be working
fine, but I'm having trouble installing Adobe Creative Suite
3 (Web
Premium).
After inserting the first disk, the installation seemed
strikingly slow
to begin with. The progress bar then came to a stop when it
was about
3/4 finished. I can't remember what program it said was being
installed,
but when I checked it about an hour, it had changed to
Dreamweaver,
indicating the installation was progressing, though the
progress bar was
again frozen (though about 85% finished).
But when I got home from work this morning, I discovered that
the
installation had progressed no further. I found some tips on
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329590&sliceId=1
but it was written before Leopard was released. Moreover, it
frequently
refers to Creative Suite 1.X, when I have CS3.
I have uninstalled the programs that did install by dragging
their
folders to the trash, then emptying the trash. I'll also run
Repair Disk
again, and I'm copying the files from the installation to my
disks to my
desktop.
In summary, I'd like to know what experiences others have had
installing
CS3 on Leopard and whether anyone can direct me to any good
(and
current) installation guides or tutorials. In fact, I was
struck by the
fact that Adobe didn't include any obvious "Getting Started"
item with
CS3 - unless I just haven't found it yet. I assume one is
supposed to
install the disk titled Applications, followed by Content,
then Video
Workshop.
Thanks for any tips.

Thanks for all the tips. I was able to install it after i
merely copied
all the installation files from the DVD to my hard drive.
After i get
everything set up, I'm going to install MAMP Pro as a
PHP/MySQL environment.
Thanks for the link to the online videos, too; that will
indeed be handy.

APEX SSO and Load balancing: Could not determine workspace for application

We had a single HTTP Server serving APEX in a 10.2.0.2 database configured with SSO to be used by the developers. APEX has been registered as a partner application and the login url has been CA Siteminder protected so that the SM_USER details are forwarded in the header for the application to use for authorization. Everything is fine so far.
Now we have added a HTTP Server on another host and have it all set up for APEX and its pointing to the same database. APEX_ADMIN access works as normal, but applications previously using SSO now get the following error after entering the URL.
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().
Using HTTP Watch I find that the application is not even trying to redirect to the login page.
What is wrong here?

APEX has been registered as a partner application as described in
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
In the meantime I found metalink document 368746.1 which describes the cause of this problem. Please read carefully what I wrote, it all works when the the new APEX web server is turned off in the server farm on the load balancer and directed through the original web server. When running regapp.sql the hostname in the listener token was using the virtual hostname. This works fine if the request comes from the original APEX server which proofs that there is nothing wrong with the installation and set up of SSO. When directing the request to the new APEX web server the APEX_ADMIN page still works only existing work spaces using SSO don't seems to work anymore resulting in a error as described in the subject.
As for metalink document 368746.1 naming the causes of this error:
- there are no duplicate entries in WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$
-LISTENER_TOKEN clearly works for requests coming from the first web server
-theoretically the web server listener port could be changed from 7777, but port 80 needs to be maintained here as production is mimiced as far down as possible.
Is there some cache table which can be cleared? How is it that the flows schema (apex engine) can not find the work space when the request comes from a new web server which can however access the APEX_ADMIN pages.
anyone?

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
CK

Program works but background job for that program fails....

I have a requirement where I have to collect the details of the purchase order and put the details in XML file format and FTP the XML file to an external third party FTP Server.
To realize this I developed a report program which follows following logic.
1)     First I collected the PO details by calling the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1.
2)     Then using the following link "/people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I converted these PO details to the XML file format that the third party people accept.
       In the code I used u201CCALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_downloadu201D and in this process first the XML file is generated and is getting stored on my deskytop.
3)     Then I called HTTP_SCRAMBLE, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND , FTP_DISCONNECT and RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE.
This works perfectly well and each time I execute the report the file is getting FTPu2019ed to the third party FTP server.
Now I tried to schedule a batch job for this and the batch job fails with follwing errors
02/25/2009 15:08:47 Error in Control Framework
Message Class = FES

Message Type   = E
02/25/2009 15:08:47 Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Message Class = 00

Can some one tell me what is going wrong. My report works perfect in front end but fails if I try to schedule a background job for it in SM36.
Can you please tell me whatz going wrong with batch job? Any Help is highly appreciated.

Can ABAP proxy to consume WSDL file be run as background job for every10min

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to build an interface which gatheru2019s the purchase order details and send to external third party software in their required format (as an XML file).
So I should be the first point of contact and should trigger the interface each time a purchase order is generated.
So I am thinking that I should develop a background job for every 10 minutes which will look for new purchase orders and gathers the information of the purchase orders and send them to external third party software in their required format.
I have gone through all the SAP forums and e-Learning but still I have confusion in regards to how is it possible technically? Can some one guide me with some information on the same.
I have a little bit of confusion and want to know few things.
1)     Should I create a web service or should I consume a web service?
2)     If I need to consume a web service, then can I write an ABAP proxy to be run in background fro evry 10 minutes? I mean can we run ABAP proxy as a batch job in the background?
3)     Is there a difference between consuming an XML file and WSDL File?
Any Help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Jessica.

There are two options (as I know) to generate XML file.
1. Use XML TRANSFORMATION to get the XML string based your TRANSFORMATION. You can input your data and get back the XML string. Download this string to a file
Test XML generation program is:
types: begin of ty_data,
       num   type i,
       end   of ty_data.
DATA: itab TYPE standard table of ty_Data,
      la_data like line of itab,
      xmlstr TYPE string.
DO 3 TIMES.
la_data-num = sy-index.
APPEND la_data TO itab.
ENDDO.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1
SOURCE table = itab
RESULT XML xmlstr.
CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
EXPORTING xml_string = xmlstr.
My ZTEST_NP1 transformation. To create a transformation, click on the transformation in the "CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1" statement. Select Simple transformation type.
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="table"/>
<tt:template>
    <table>
      <tt:loop ref=".table">
        <item>
          <tt:value ref="NUM"/>
        </item>
      </tt:loop>
    </table>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
XML string is like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<table>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</table>
To use this option, you have to create a transformation and than use it to generate the XML string.
Check this SAP Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/7d4719ca581441b6841f1054ff1326/frameset.htm
2. You can concatenate and create an XML string and download that string into a file.

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the code.
DialogWrapper is JDialog and ColorEditorPane is JPanel.
DialogWrapper dlg = new DialogWrapper();
ColorEditorPane colorPanel = new ColorEditorPane();
colorPanel.setValue( _data.getTransparentColor());
dlg.showWrappedDialog( colorPanel, "color_help", "color_dialog" );
if( dlg.isOK())
Color chosenColor = (Color) colorPanel.getValue().getContent();
_data.setTransparentColor( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setBackground( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setOpaque( true );
this.repaint();
this.doLayout();
this.validate();
}I've several components like JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JTextField in "this".
