Override Panel background color

Hello
I am using an Adobe theme (GraphiteGraphical). It is a little too dark for my Panel containers. I would like to adjust the background color.
I am able to adjust the Application's background-Color in the CSS file like so:
s|Application {
    padding-top: 10;
    padding-bottom: 10;
    padding-left: 10;
    padding-right: 10;
    vertical-gap: 4;
    background-color: #CCCCCC;
I am unable to do this for my Panels. Why? And how can I accomplish this?
I need my Panel backgrounds to be the same as the Application's. Right now they are way too dark. Help?

Hello
Thank you Subeesh!
I have tried this already, it was already in my styles.css file. It did not work. Also, I am not using spark panels but MX panels. Ive tried both, no luck.
I do not understand why only my Login screen changes background color when I change thr background color in the Application CSS tag, but nothing else does?
It is like the theme is overriding everything that is not Application CSS specific?
How can I modify the CSS definition for the Graphite theme? It's too dark and the end users are not happy. Help!
this does not work, the theme overrides this:
s|Panel
backgroundColor:#CCCCCC;

Applet-Panel, background color and size problem

I am writing an applet with simple form.
Form is having 3 rows and 2 cols (label and textfield). Each row I want to display in different color. So I created each row with 2 separate panel (one for label and one for text field - of which I set the backgroung color).
The total form is in one panel with grid layout (2 colmns).
My problems are
1)The space between label and text field (col width) can not be resized. I tried to use setSize but not giving any effect.
2)Another problem is when I am seting the background color, the textfield is also changing the color (textfield I want to white color only). This does not have any effect on Choice
3)The first label I wanted to use simple break but could not. I tried \n\t, \n, chr(13) + chr(10) etc but not getting any result so created separate panel.
My code goes here:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class test1 extends Applet{
protected TextField refnoTextField=null, payerTextField=null, amtTextField=null;
protected Choice typeChoice;

//here wanted to use simple line break but \n\t does not seems to work not even chr (10), chr(13)

I do not want to go into detail, but there are some hints you can follow.
I am talking about AWT, not swing, you should decide which one you will use and don't mix the two of them.
If you want to run your applet in current browsers without requiring the java plugin, you should be aware, that most browsers support old versions of java and many convenient methods and classes are missing :-(
So
You can change the size of a label by putting it in a panel ( labelPanel ), whose layout is set to FlowLayout. Then you put in labelPanel another empty panel ( emptyPanel ), whose layout is set to null, and you set the width of the empty panel to whatever you want ( this is the gap between the label and the next component ), an the height to the least nonsero number possible, i.e. 1. Well, you can add to the labelPanel more components, if you wish. So, when you want a gap, use an empty panel with a fixed size.
You cannot use line break in a label. You should place more labels in a panel instead. I am not sure if the direction of FlowLayout can be set to vertical, but very probably it can. If so, that is your solution. If not - see what other layout managers you have available, but make sure your choice belongs to java.awt ! BorderLayout allows you to use up to three labels (=> 3 lines). And if nothing fits your needs, ... write a layout manager.
Well, hope I could help.

Background color of front panel when printing

My vi has a control named "print" which allows the user to print the front panel during execution. The background color of the front panel is white, to avoid filling the printed page with any color. In labview 7.1 (and also 6.0), this worked perfectly. I recently updated to labview 8 and now the background color of the print is gray. Does anybody have any idea how to avoid this?
I am using the "print panel.vi" found in the "vi.lib\utility\printvi.llb". I also tried with the "Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi", with the same result. The same problem also occurs when exporting the front panel to a ".png" file.
Best regards

I tried with different colors, without any success.
I think that this is a bug ! Good catch !

Unable to Edit CSS style panel to change Wiget background colors

Hello my name is Gabriel and Im designing a website using the Sprymenu Bar: Menu Bar 1 that I found on the adobie free template 1.
I was able to edit the spry menu bar to drop down sub menu's but I was curious hoy to bring up the CSS Style panel so I can change the colors of this Spry Menu bar. How do I bring up the CSS style panel? Could you point me to a color menu so I could change the Colors?

Hi,
they work with an background-image, look for example here (it's from widgets of this
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html):
#MenuBar6 a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
background-image: url(images/star.gif);
background-position: 5% 50%;
#MenuBar6 a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover {
background-image: url(images/star-hover.gif);
background-position: 5% 50%;
background-color: #FF0;
color: #F00;

How to change front panel indicator properties such as background color or enable/disable programmatically?

Is it possible to change the properties of a front panel indicator such as background color or to change from enabled to disabled-grayed out programatically in response to limit conditions or a time-out?

"Disabled" means that the control/indicator will not respond to a user operation. However, the displayed data can still change. What you want to do can be easily achieved using a case structure : wire your boolean to the case input, and put your indicator in the "True" case condition. That way, it will be updated only when the digital input is set to true.

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,

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.

JButton background color question

Hi everybody,
I have a feeling I'm going to get slammed for this, but I have to ask a very general question and hope for an answer.
I have a JDialog on which buttons don't seem to hold their background color. That is, when I use setBackground, the only color change I get is a very thin outline of the color, and the rest of the button is white. The strange thing about the button is that the white center actually seems transparent--if I change the panel the button is on to another color besides white, the center of the button turns that color.
I've tried to solve this problem with setOpaque( true ), setContentAreaFilled( true ), setBackground( color ), setForeground( color ), and I'm pretty sure every combination of those.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this in a test case, so I can't give a SSCCE, although I've tried for a while now to make one.
So...has anyone ever run into a problem like this and can give me some advice? I'm sorry I can't be more specific, if anyone has a question I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks,
Jezzica85

I have a feeling I'm going to get slammed for this, but I have to ask a very general question and hope for an answer.Why would people be harsh on you? The only risk you take is: vague question => vague answer (or random).
So...has anyone ever run into a problem like this and can give me some advice? I'm sorry I can't be more specific, if anyone has a question I'll do my best to answer.Never seen that myself, so I'll add a few random questions/thoughts:
I have a JDialog on which buttons don't seem to hold their background color. That is, when I use setBackground, the only color change I get is a very thin outline of the color, and the rest of the button is white.- are you using a custom JButton subclass? If yes are you certain the subclass does not override paintComponent()?
- If not, the button is painted by its ButtonUI. Can you tell which UI class is used (sysout(+theButton.getUI()+)?
The UI is set according to the LookAndFeel.
- Do you set any special LookAndFeel (+UIManager.setLookAndFeel(...)+, or look and feel's UIDefault properties in your app (generally that is done at startup)?
- If not, can you tell the current look and feel when you bring up the dialog (+UIManager.getLookAndFeel(...)+, although that can be inferred from the ButtonUI subclass' name.
I've tried to solve this problem with setOpaque( true ), setContentAreaFilled( true ), setBackground( color ), setForeground( color ), and I'm pretty sure every combination of those.FYI, the ButtonUI paints the button however it sees fit; in particular it doesn't have to respect the colors, opacity, filling... properties.
Eventually:
- are you using a custom JDialog subclass (probably, as that's generally how people write dialogs; not the best way IMHO, but there are cases where this is hard to avoid).
I see you can't provide an SSCCE right ow, but maybe you can try to narrow the list of suspects in your side?
- Do you reproduce the same problem at startup, if you bring the JDialog up as soon as possible?
- Do you reproduce the problem with a mere JOPtionpane.showMessageDialog(..., theButton,...)?
- Do you reproduce the problem outside of the JDialog context (I see you mention using a different JPanel, but is that in the dialog or somewhere else?
Good luck with your investigations.

Changing font and background color for all components

Hi,
This is my first time writing a GUI, and I'm pretty new to Swing and Java. I just recently switched from C++, and so far Java seems to be doing a nice job =)
Currently I have a gazilion components (textfields, labels, panels) and I'm wondering if there is a way to change their background/foreground colours without adding in setBackground/setForeground for every single component.
I've done some researching onto using Look and Feel, but there aren't any current ones that suits my needs. And everyone seems to mention that programming your own is pretty complicated.
My boss wants a slick white text on black background interface, so you can imagine that he's not very impressed with the current default greyish colours =)
Thank you for any help!
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
I'm not sure how effective a solution this will be, but you could try:UIManager.put("TextField.background", Color.BLACK); // Default text field background becomes blackThere are many more defaults you'd have to change and could probably achieve it more reliably and simply by creating or editing the properties file that controls the way the look and feel (even if it's the default) is implemented. Take a look at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/UIManager.htmlHope this is helpful

Unable to change the background color of a webi report in the infoview

Hi,
Can someone please me help me with the below issue.
Environment Details:
BusinessObjects XI3.1 SP1SP2SP3
BusinessObjects XIR2 SP5
.Net infoview
IE 7
JRE versions used as;
On BOXI3.1 SP3 Server -1.6.0_03
On BOXIR2 SP5 Server -1.4.2_02
On the client machine   -1.6.0_14
Issue Description:
-Open an existing webi report in the infoview.
-In the report,I am not able to change the background and the font color for the column headings from the properties tab in the left navigation panel.
-I can change the color after hitting the color tab for multiple times.Also the color was getting changed when the color code was manually changed.
-The reports background color was getting changed,but not the font color.
-I tried to create a test report,where I was able to change the color.
I have;
-Installed the Java update 14 on BOXI3.1 server machine,here I was able to change the background and font color.
-However on the client machine,with the same Java update 14,the background and the font color for the column headings was not getting changed.
-Same behaviour is observed on BOE XIR2 SP5 machine.
Is there any limitations for using Java update 14 or am I required to do any other settings.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
It is a strange behavior. You also stated that when you create a test report it works fine.
Can you create a copy of this report and then try on the new copy?
One thing you can do as a test to refresh the universe and then try it. And change some columns - add some column and then save and ten remove and save and make changes like this and trying changing color.
I think there is a problem with this report this is why it is behaving like this on all machine.
Regards,
Bashir Awan

Change the background color of a table created by ADDT (Login)

I am trying to change the background color of a table in the login form created by the developer's toolbox. I then go and select the table and change the background color. But it has no effect. The only insight I have is when I delete this "" from the Action in the form, then the table's background color changes. As far as I can tell this line of code is only return the url of the page.
I am not understanding something.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks!

the table is linked using a CSS rule..
the CSS rules comes from something called Skins..
see mxkollection2.css.
KT_XXX are the class ID's for table names.
if u change this rule it will effect all the tables which use that rule in ur whole website.
u can try switching skins from ADDT control panel.
KT_tngtable is the tables css rule name defined in skins /Skinname/tng.css
hope this helps u ..

Can I change the background color view for SPECIFIC web pages with Safari?

I cannot read Netflix red background webpages without getting a headache/eyestrain. I know other browsers allow me to override the pages' colors but will safari allow me to specify all pages from for instance "www.netflix.com"; to have a white background while letting other pages display colors as they were created?
Will any browser do this?
It would be a cool feature.

There may be a way of doing this using CSS. In Safari's preferences under 'Advanced' there is the option to choose a user defined style sheet. I have used this since Safari came out to not display ads in Safari, and it may be well possible to use it to change certain styles (depending on page code).

WPF: how to toggle background color in xaml by using F1 key?

We want to show users different background colors when clicking F1 key.
Colors are defined as following:
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="StatusBackround1" EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FF88AED0" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF5286B2" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="StatusBackground2"
EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFCCDDED" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFB7D5F2" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
we know how to implement it in code behind.
protected override void OnPreviewKeyDown( KeyEventArgs e )
if ( e.Key == Key.F3 )
ToggleTabStyle();
e.Handled = true;
static bool showTab2 = false;
private void ToggleTabStyle()
LinearGradientBrush statusBackground;
showTab2 = !showTab2 ;
if (showTab2 )
statusBackground = Application.Current.Resources["StatusBackground2"] as LinearGradientBrush;
else
statusBackground = Application.Current.Resources["StatusBackround1"] as LinearGradientBrush;
this.rectagleStatus.Fill = statusBackground;
How easy to implement in xaml? Thx!
JaneC

>>How easy to implement in xaml?
Not easy, and probably not possible at all since there is no way to override the OnPreviewKeyDown method in XAML. I think you should stick with the code-behind approach or use a command that you bind to a KeyBinding as suggested by Andy. But you
still need to define the command programmatically.
Remember that XAML is primarily a markup language used to define the layout. An application's behaviour should till be defined programmatically. Don' try to move behaviours to the XAML markup just for the sake of it.
Please remember to mark helpful posts as answer to close your threads and please start a new thread if you have a new question.
