Picking a colour via color picker

Hi all
i have a text box on my main form that i store a color value in, next to the color value is a button, clicking the button opens up a new form which holds the Jcolorchooser
how do i go about having the chosen color loaded into my text file on the main form
if my text box is called myText
would i have a button on my chooser window and when its clicked say something like
formname.myText.setText=<what would go here?>
is any of this right?

ive just decided to call the colourchooser directly
rather than build my own form
buuuuuuuut
does anyone feel charitable and give me a piece of
code that will take the 3 rgb values and return me
the hex value
e.g.
rgbToHex(255,255,255)
would give me FFFFFF
thank you :)Seems the java.awt.Color class already does this for you. Look at the constructor which takes 3 values (for example: (255, 255, 255)) and look at the method which returns a RGB value as an integer (for example, the integer which would represent FFFFFF). Then convert that number to its hex representation via Integer.toHexString(int).
Isn't that what you want?

  • Auto select hex number via color picker

    Hey everyone,
    Why is it that on some versions of cs6 when i select the "set foreground color" (or background), the color dialog pops up with the hex number selected allowing me to quickly ctrl+c it. However, on other computers - with the exact same copy of photoshop (cloud based and fully updated) it does *not* auto select the hex number. I've looked through the settings to see if this is a feature that needs to be turned on/off but could not find it....
    Any one have any idea on how i could turn this on for all my workstations?

    In the case of the CS6 Mac edition, auto selection of the Hex field was implemented in the 13.1/13.02 Retina updates. Check Photoshop CS6 on the problem workstations to be sure they are updated.
    On Windows versions of CS6,be sure to single-click on the foreground swatch. Double-clicking it removes the Hex selection.
    That's about all I can think of, so if this doesn't help...I'll leave this to more experienced users, MVPs, and Staff.

  • A few questions about my navigation bar, centering, getting rid of margins and changing colours via

    I am having a few problems with my navigation bar, could be quite simple fixes but I haven't managed to find an answer yet that works. I am wanting to get rid of the white margins at the top of my page and just below the nav bar and centre the text on the page. I want to get rid of the gradient and turn the background white, black text and a light grey hover background. I have a link here
    http://vps3147.inmotionhosting.com/~hannahro/home.html
    I tried adding aligning the text in nav and I tried changing float left to center. but this only listed my nav bar contents under each other centered. I tried to change the background colour in nav ul from #efefef to #ffffff. However this made no difference either
    Here is the navigation css
    @charset "UTF-8";
    /* CSS Document */
    nav {

        box-shadow: 0px 0px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
        padding: 0px 60px 0px 60px;
        /*border-radius: 10px;*/
        list-style: none;
        position: relative;
        display: inline-table;
    To this:
    width: 100%;
        max-width: 1064px;
        background: #FFF;
        box-shadow: 0px 0px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);

        /*border-radius: 10px;*/
        list-style: none;
        position: relative;
        display: inline-table;
    And add this:
    nav li a {
         width:5em;  /**ADJUST TOP MENU WIDTH TO FIT**/
         text-align:left;

  • Color Management via Dynamic link

    Hey guys.
    I know I don't know too much about color management right now, but a read a handy article linked from this forum that suggested that all comps should be set to a 32 bit (or 16) linearized workflow with the sRGB 2.1 working space.
    So far I have found the colors to be more accurate than AE's default setting and I like it. My problem now lies via Dynamic Link with Premiere Pro.
    I am working on a sequence handed over to me for VFX'ing. Using Dynamic link makes it easier to work between the 2 programs, but when I work with the above color management settings, the resulting image in AE looks fine, but the image updating in Premiere is several notches darker.
    Is there a way to effective work via dynamic link and color management between the 2 projects?
    Many thanks.

    Actually, I notified you DO NOT linearise your working space until you fully understand linear workflow. That, among other things, means you shouldn't linearise working space in all AE projects. Quite contrary, you should understand, when to linearise them and when not. That Stu Maschwitz blogpost, the link to which I submitted, contains a lot of other links, including this one to the discussion on when to go linear.
    Your current issue relates to the question that neither PrPro nor AME is colour manageable (color aware) application. It can be corrected in several ways:
    1. As Rick said, just turn Linearize Working Space off (it can ruin your current colour correction as well).
    2. Apply Gamma Correction effect onto your dynamically linked comp in PrPro timeline (which is not quite correct workaround, actually).
    3. So as not to rebuild Dynamic Link, pre-compose what is in your dynamically linked comp now into another one. In your modified dynamically linked comp go to View menu and disable Use Display Color Management. Apply Color Profile Converter onto your pre-comp layer and set Output Profile to sRGB, leaving Input one in default 'Project Working Space' mode.

  • Colour difference between color and FCP

    i have edited in FCP doing no colour correction at all then i have sent it to color using the
    file send to color option
    done my colour correction and sent it back using the
    send to final cut pro option
    no i am really happy with the colours in color using pri in, sec in, colorFX and pri out, rendered it all but when i send it back to FCP everything is redder well pinkish then what it looks like in color
    am i doing something wrong at all
    i have tried to adjust the amount of red in color then render and send back but it still looks the same.
    im lost can anyone please help
    adam

    Yes, you are doing something incredibly wrong. This non-issue is rearing it's ugly head so much it's nauseating. What you are seeing is the display differences between Color and Final Cut Pro. Do a search on all the Color forums and you'll find a host of very similar threads to yours.
    The solution is to use a real input/output device like an Aja Kona or Blackmagic Decklink card and send the video signal to a production monitor. Those of us using this infrastructure see none of this non-issue that other users who are relying upon their highly inaccurate computer displays are seeing.
    You are at a disadvantage however as there is currently no accurate way to get external monitoring capabilities out of an iMac as it is woefully lacking in expansion capabilities.

  • [SOLVED] urxvt colors and moc theme

    Hello!
    I am a KDE user and usually i am using Konsole. For some applications (like htop and moc) i use urxvt (patched version from AUR). The problem is in colors. When i launch moc in Konsole the theme colours are right but not in urxvt too. That happens with htop also. URxvt doesn't follow theme backrground color (uses its own) and foreground colors too.

    Moc config file:
    # This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named
    # 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify
    # commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it
    # is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by
    # anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default
    # values, and therefore commented.
    # Comments begin with '#'.
    # You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.
    # You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name
    # as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following
    # the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,
    # if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of
    # a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the
    # substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict
    # between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to
    # resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are
    # case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.
    # You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second
    # position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first
    # position is unset or null.
    # So, for example:
    # MusicDir = /music/${USER:-public}
    # Fastdir1 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rock
    # Fastdir2 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/electronic
    # Fastdir3 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rap
    # Fastdir4 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/etc
    # Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that
    # is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits
    # and the underscore.
    # If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"
    # and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.
    # Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are
    # separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list
    # using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,
    # see the XTerms option.
    # You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the
    # '-O' command line option:
    # mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt
    # This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and
    # the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC
    # does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden
    # configuration options.) Most option values are set before the
    # configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be
    # picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden
    # afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are
    # replaced or added to).
    # Remember that the client and server are separate processes and the
    # server will retain the configuration values formed from the environment
    # within which it was originally started.

    # PreferredDecoders allows you to specify which decoder should be used
    # for any given audio format. It is a colon-separated list in which
    # each entry is of the general form 'code(decoders)', where 'code'
    # identifies the audio format and 'decoders' is a comma-separated list
    # of decoders in order of preference.
    # The audio format identifier may be either a filename extension or a
    # MIME media type. If the latter, the format is 'type/subtype' (e.g.,
    # 'audio/flac'). Because different systems may give different MIME
    # media types, any 'x-' prefix of the subtype is ignored both here and
    # in the actual file MIME type (so all combinations of 'audio/flac' and
    # 'audio/x-flac' match each other).
    # For Internet streams the matching is done on MIME media type and on
    # actual content. For files the matches are made on MIME media type
    # (if the 'UseMimeMagic' option is set) and on filename extension. The
    # MIME media type of a file is not determined until the first entry for
    # MIME is encountered in the list.
    # The matching is done in the order of appearance in the list with any
    # entries added from the command line being matched before those listed
    # here. Therefore, if you place all filename extension entries before
    # all MIME entries you will speed up MOC's processing of directories
    # (which could be significant for remote file systems).
    # The decoder list may be empty, in which case no decoders will be used
    # for files (and files with that audio format ignored) while Internet
    # streams will be assessed on the actual content. Any decoder position
    # may contain an asterisk, in which case any decoder not otherwise listed
    # which can handle the audio format will be used. It is not an error to
    # list the same decoder twice, but neither does it make sense to do so.
    # If you have a mix of audio and non-audio files in your directories, you
    # may wish to include entries at top of the list which ignore non-audio
    # files by extension.
    # In summary, the PreferredDecoders option provides fine control over the
    # type of matching which is performed (filename extension, MIME media
    # type and streamed media content) and which decoder(s) (if any) are used
    # based on the option's list entries and their ordering.
    # Examples: aac(aac,ffmpeg) first try FAAD2 for AACs then FFmpeg
    # mp3() ignore MP3 files
    # wav(*,sndfile) use sndfile for WAV as a last resort
    # ogg(vorbis,*):flac(flac,*) try Xiph decoders first
    # ogg():audio/ogg() ignore OGG files, and
    # force Internet selection by content
    # gz():html() ignore some non-audio files
    # Any unspecified audio formats default to trying all decoders.
    # Any unknown (or misspelt) drivers are ignored.
    # All names are case insensitive.
    # The default setting reflects the historical situation modified by
    # the experience of users.
    #PreferredDecoders = aac(aac,ffmpeg):m4a(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += mpc(musepack,*,ffmpeg):mpc8(musepack,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += sid(sidplay2):mus(sidplay2)

    #PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)
    # The following PreferredDecoders attempt to handle the ambiguity surrounding
    # container types such as OGG for files. The first two entries will force
    # a local file to the correct decoder (assuming the .ogg file contains Vorbis
    # audio), while the MIME media types will cause Internet audio streams to
    # be assessed on content (which may be either Vorbis or Speex).

    # Which resampling method to use. There are a few methods of resampling

    # also the fastest. A better description can be found at:
    # http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsamplerate/api_misc.html#Converters
    # but briefly, the following methods are based on bandlimited interpolation
    # and are higher quality, but also slower:
    # SincBestQuality - really slow (I know you probably have an xx GHz
    # processor, but it's still not enough to not see
    # this in the top output :) The worst case
    # Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 97dB.
    # SincMediumQuality - much faster.
    # SincFastest - the fastest bandlimited interpolation.
    # And these are lower quality, but much faster methods:
    # ZeroOrderHold - really poor quality, but it's really fast.
    # Linear - a bit better and a bit slower.
    #ResampleMethod = Linear
    # Always use this sample rate (in Hz) when opening the audio device (and
    # resample the sound if necessary). When set to 0 the device is opened
    # with the file's rate.
    #ForceSampleRate = 0
    # By default, even if the sound card reports that it can output 24bit samples
    # MOC converts 24bit PCM to 16bit. Setting this option to 'yes' allows MOC
    # to use 24bit output. (The MP3 decoder, for example, uses this format.)
    # This is disabled by default because there were reports that it prevents
    # MP3 files from playing on some soundcards.
    #Allow24bitOutput = no
    # Use realtime priority for output buffer thread. This will prevent gaps
    # while playing even with heavy load. The user who runs MOC must have
    # permissions to set such a priority. This could be dangerous, because it
    # is possible that a bug in MOC will freeze your computer.
    #UseRealtimePriority = no
    # The number of audio files for which MOC will cache tags. When this limit
    # is reached, file tags are discarded on a least recently used basis (with

    # zero. Note that if you decrease the cache size below the number of items
    # currently in the cache, the number will not decrease immediately (if at
    # all).
    #TagsCacheSize = 256
    # Number items in the playlist.
    #PlaylistNumbering = yes
    # Main window layouts can be configured. You can change the position and
    # size of the menus (directory and playlist). You have three layouts and
    # can switch between then using the 'l' key (standard mapping). By default,
    # only two layouts are configured.
    # The format is as follows:
    # - Each layout is described as a list of menu entries.
    # - Each menu entry is of the form:
    # menu(position_x, position_y, width, height)
    # where 'menu' is either 'directory' or 'playlist'.
    # - The parameters define position and size of the menu. They can
    # be absolute numbers (like 10) or a percentage of the screen size
    # (like 45%).
    # - 'width' and 'height' can have also value of 'FILL' which means
    # fill the screen from the menu's position to the border.
    # - Menus may overlap.
    # You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
    # There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined; others can be empty.
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(50%,50%,50%,50%)
    # Layout2 = ""
    # Layout3 = ""
    # Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole
    # screen, the playlist will have 1/4 of the screen size
    # and be positioned at lower right corner. (Note that
    # because the playlist will be hidden by the directory
    # you will have to use the TAB key to make the playlist
    # visible.)
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,10):directory(0,10,100%,FILL)
    # The screen is split into two parts: playlist at the top
    # and the directory menu at the bottom. Playlist will
    # occupy 10 lines and the directory menu the rest.
    #Layout1 = directory(0,0,50%,100%):playlist(50%,0,FILL,100%)

    3d3d3d is for red but you have a blackish and color2 is for green but you have it white the rest should be the default colors. it uses the same colors only it changes the vairiant of the color you choice there or normally moc uses colors such as green blue and such which will call your console colors for those respective fields I know moc has /user/share/moc/themes/ that you can edit or make your own for instance copy one and edit it. I think htop uses the same color count which is 8 but with so green will be white when you use urxvt. 8 for normal colors 16 for bright dark and urxvt is 256 which is 16 but can use any of the 256 colors for 16.
    just to clarify you have commented out your colors 4-15 and your green and red is weird, and htop aswell as moc is 8 bit. moc theme_yellow_red is default for background so it will use urxvts background
    Haahaha, that is simple. And it works!!!
    I didn't bother with commenting that because i thought they are not applied. Anyway, thanks man. My urxvt terminal si grateful to you and your thorough explanation. SOLVED!

  • How can I give folders different colours in Mail?

    How can I give folders different colours in Mail?
    I can give emails different colours via the colour picker, but dont know how for folders.... Any help is welcome

    Thanks! Well that disappoints me very much,...
    There is really no way to make it easier visually?
    I mean I have so many folders and subfolders.
    There are no add-ons perhaps?

  • Button color used make it other button next

    Hello ppl :-)
    i got 3 Radiobuttons 
    1 makes it blue 
    1 makes it red
    1 makes it white 
    got 4 buttons 
    i have made it so if i press button 1 it moves to button 4
    the problem is i want it to if buttons 4 is blue 
    and i select blue or red by radiobuttons again clicking button 1 and it should
    auto put it in button 3 becuse button 4 is full 
    and again if i pick radiobutton ( white ) click button 4 
    so it clears .... 
    it should move button 3-2-1 becuse they are full to 4-3-2
    leaveing button 1 clear 
    any 1 got some ideas would be great 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    If RadioButton1.Checked Then
    Button1.BackColor = Color.Blue
    End If
    If RadioButton2.Checked Then
    Button1.BackColor = Color.Red
    End If
    If RadioButton3.Checked Then
    Button1.BackColor = Color.White
    End If
    Dim colour As Color = Button2.BackColor
    Button2.BackColor = Button1.BackColor
    Button1.BackColor = colour
    Button3.BackColor = Button2.BackColor
    Button2.BackColor = colour
    Button4.BackColor = Button3.BackColor
    Button3.BackColor = colour
    My.Settings.Save()
    End Sub

    The description is unclear you saying: 
    "if buttons 4 is blue 
    and i select blue or red by radiobuttons again clicking button 1 and it should
    auto put it in button 3 becuse button 4 is full :"
    What if red is selected why don't you change the button 3 and 4 to red?
    Also I would like to suggest another scenario is to fire the event when changing the values of the radios and not on clicking button1. For example if I have two radios Red and Blue I will put them both in a GroupBox control(you may need to right click the group
    box and click send to back if you add it after the radios to the form):
    and also in the "Tag" property of of the radio I will add the related color name to it (to add the tag property select the radio button and go to properties and fill the Tag with the related color: Red for example".
    Then on ChekcedChanged event of the radios I will be able to read that Tag value and convert it to color and then assign to the button.
    Events example:
    Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.CheckedChanged
    If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
    Dim clr As Color = Color.FromName(RadioButton1.Tag)
    Button1.BackColor = clr
    End If
    End Sub
    Private Sub RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadioButton2.CheckedChanged
    If RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
    Dim clr As Color = Color.FromName(RadioButton2.Tag)
    Button1.BackColor = clr
    End If
    End Sub

  • Why do RGB colour references look different on screen in Illustrator and Adobe Muse?

    Prior to a December upgrade to CC versions of Illustrator and Photoshop and an upgrade to Muse, RGB colours looked consistent in all 3. Now they do not and I don't understand why there has been this change. I cannot see a way of pulling them all into line. I always synchronise colours via Bridge.

    For colors on the web it is best to use web safe colors. Non-websafe colors can and will give different looks in different browsers and file types.

  • Photosmart 7525 will not print in color, except from the printer.

    This printer refuses to print in color from my computer.  Since I bought it to print photos, this is distressing.  I followed all suggestions posted for this problem.  (I had tried them all before.)  It WILL print a copy in color from the printer itself.  That is the only way.  I use Adobe Photoshop and it won't print in color from there, Word, or the internet. Checked printer preferences; grayscale not on.  Printer full of ink.  Paper and quality OK.  Please instruct me on how to print color photos from a color printer!

    Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I understand you're unable to print in colour via PC with your HP Photosmart 7525 e-All-in-One Printer.  I'd like to work with you on this.  I have some suggestions that might restore this functionality for you.   From what you're reporting, with the printer printing in colour from standalone it sounds like the main issue is software related.  Accordingly, I recommend you try the following steps:  Clear Temp Files: Press Windows Key + RIn the Run dialogue box type %temp% and select OKIn the Temp folder select all items and delete them.  The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. On Windows Vista, 7 and 8 if a Temp file is still be used  you can simply 'skip' the used item and everything else will delete successfully. Once the Temp files are deleted close the Temp folderRight click on the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling BinNext, I recommend running Microsoft Fix it (it's designed for Windows 7 but I have found that it works with 8 and 8.1). Click here  to install.  I've had a lot of luck detecting and automatically solving common printer software setup issues with this utility.  If Fix it doesn't find a fix, or it prompts to uninstall the printer driver click here to reinstall your printer.  Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I have helped you resolve the issue and you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual props by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.  Have a great day!

  • Problems with CMYK/LAB colors

    I'm independent and I send many print jobs to different print shops. I recently discovered to my horror that some color critical jobs have gone to press (to the same shop) with mismatched PMS colors. At first I blamed the print shop but they complained the CMYK values did not match. When I opened the two brochures in question, one had (for example) Pantone 288 C, color type spot, Color mode CMYK, 100/67/0/23 (dimmed because the colors came from an imported illustrator eps logo). The second (bad) brochure had the same color and color type, but in the mix it had Color Mode: Lab, L 8.039, a 8, b -50 - greyed out because again, the color came from the SAME eps file.
    My next step was to remove the logo file from the bad Indesign doc. Then I doublechecked the color - success, the color now says color mode: Pantone solid coated, 288 C (which is from the built-in indesign swatch book). Then I brought BACK IN the logo file from the brochure that printed correctly. The color reverts back to LAB again!
    When I import this same logo into a blank document, the colors are fine (CMYK with proper values).
    I'd seen in other forums suggestions to check or uncheck "Use Standard Lab Values for Spots" in the Ink Manager, however both documents have this unchecked. (Adobe seems to encourage checking LAB but I've never done this, I'm afraid to start now as it will probably give my print shops fits.) And both have "convert spots to process" checked, which I always thought was the cure-all: shouldn't PMS 288 (CMYK) always be PMS 288 (CMYK), as long as both are converted to process? Why would one being a LAB and the other NOT being a LAB make them different? 288 should be 288....? (but I guess not....)
    The good news is, the Zevrix extension "InPreFlight" will warn me if run on each document, so I don't have to drive myself crazy opening old files and doubleclicking every color. But I'm wondering what the heck is happening.
    CLUE: I believe this all stemmed from a "brilliant" idea I had to shorten the list of color types to choose from by going into Indesign>Presets>Swatch Libraries and removing libraries I'd thought I wasn't using - I left all my Pantones, but I must have deleted an important one, because it was after I'd done this that I had noticed the Lab colors rearing their ugly heads. However it didn't occur to me that LAB (CMYK) would be different from regular CMYK since they have the same name. When I replaced this folder with one from another mac, viola, the problems stopped. However it doesn't stop the old, previously created files from continuing to open wrong and be printed wrong, if I don't catch them.
    Any insight anyone could provide would prove most helpful. It would be nice to get a night's sleep for a change.....thanks!
    FYI I'm using Indesign CS3 5.0.4 (recently updated) with Color Settings CMYK: U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2 and color management policies-preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles).

    >one had (for example) Pantone 288 C, color type spot,
    Mike, you are implying in your post that your jobs are being output as CMYK, but your colors are set as spots. If that's the case your printer is converting the spot colors to process CMYK, which would cause the problem you are describingPantone Solid colors are converted to CMYK via color management when Use Lab is checked. The resulting output values would depend on the document's destination CMYK profile.
    If your job is indeed CMYK you should stop using the Pantone Solid library and use the Solid to Process library instead, which always output as Pantones CMYK builds.
    Use Lab is useful when a job is to be output as Spot color because you will likely get a more accurate preview of the color and a better proof to a composite printer. Many Pantone colors are out of the CMYK gamut. Lab can also be useful if you are sending a job to CMYK and you want to color manage the conversion of a solid color to CMYK, rather than using Pantones built formulas which are device dependent.
