Preview background colour problem

This is an annoying problem I can't seem to remedy. Even though the background colour is set to white, it shows up as a murky brown colour when printed. I have attempted the usual fixes such as deleting the preference file but nothing seems to work. Not serious I know, but none the less annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Ron
I take it you are using Panther, and so your Preview is version 2.1.
In Preview, open its preferences (Command + , (comma))
Select the General tab where at the bottom is a box with "Window background color" next to it.
Click on the box which will open the colour selector, and choosing the Palette (centre one) will give you the opportunity to select white. I hope that fixes it.

10.6.3 and Message background colour problem

The 10.6.3 update claims to solve the problem whereby some messages display with incorrect backgrounds, quote:
"Mail fixes and improvements provided for:
an issue that causes background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail."
I have had this problem, so after updating to 10.6.3 I checked the messages and no change, still brown background. (Note messages are not, and never were Junk, which is not enabled).
First thing I tried was rebuilding the mailboxes, without success.
What fixed it was:
1. Enabled Junk filtering
2. Selected affected messages
3. Marked these as "junk"
4. Marked them as "not junk"
5. Disabled Junk filtering
I had tried these exact steps pre 10.6.3, so 10.6.3 has changed something related to this problem.

Since we can't test in a new user, try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If yourEntourage functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
I'd say try re-installing but try checking on support first.

CSS background colour problem

Hi
I know that I am overlooking something incredibly simple,
however I am really new to Dreamweaver and can't seem to figure out
where I'm going wrong.
I basically want to use CSS to make the background of my page
grey. The rule I have is quite simply:
.background {
background-color: #CCCCCC;
However when I apply it to the page, all that appears is a
row of grey at the very top and that's it. No matter what I try I
just can't seem to make it cover the entire background.
If anyone could help me out, that would be great.
Thanks
Nicola

It *should* work the same, either externally linked or
internally embedded.
The fact that it doesn't means you have made an error
somewhere. The fact
that you don't have an identification of the error means that
you have not
provided enough information.

A problem changing applet's background colour

Hi there,
I'm hoping somebody can help me with what I believe to be a problem I have in changing the background colour of an applet, the source code of which is posted below. If super.paint(g); is commented out, the background of the applet will be changed to whatever colour is specified, however if it is not the background will remain grey. As I understand though, super.paint(g); should be part of the program. What am I doing wrong? Should super.paint(g); in this example be part of the program?
Before posting this I searched the forums and looked at some of the Q's & A's about changing an applet's background colour but am non the wiser.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
THE_TH1NG
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Calculate extends JApplet
public Calculate()
//Variables used in our calculations.
double sum; // Add the two numbers
double product; // Multiply the two numbers
double quotient; // The first number divided by the second number
double difference; // The first number minus the second number - This may result in a negative value being returned
double userInput1; //Stores the first number as a double after being converted from type string
double userInput2; //Stores the second number as a double after being converted from type string

number2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the second floating point number"); // The user inputs the second number as a string
// Convert the user's input from type string to type double
userInput1 = Double.parseDouble( number1 );
userInput2 = Double.parseDouble( number2 );
// Perform the calculations
sum = (userInput1 + userInput2);
product = (userInput1 * userInput2);
difference = (userInput1 - userInput2);
quotient = (userInput1 / userInput2);
public void paint( Graphics g )
//The applets background will be set to the desired colour if super.paint(g) is commented out
//But the background will remain grey if the code is not commented out.
//What am I doing wrong?
//super.paint( g );
setBackground(new Color(50,150,255)); //Light Blue
g.drawRect(10,10,250,100); // Draw a rectangle 250 pixels wide X 100 pixels high to enclose the rest of the program's output
//Dispaly the results of the calculations to the user
g.drawString( "The numbers entered are " + userInput1 + ", " + userInput2, 25, 25);
g.drawString( "The sum is " + sum, 25, 40);
g.drawString( "The product is " + product, 25, 55);
g.drawString( "The difference is " + difference, 25, 70);
g.drawString( "The quotient is " + quotient, 25, 85);

You could try defining
public void update(Graphics g) {
paint(g);
}That's the only difference I see between your code and my applet code. If that isn't it, you could try getContentPane().setBackground(...) but I don't know how that could make much difference (I would think that the content pane is transparent...)
Another possibility is that, if you're using Swing, you probably shouldn't be overriding paint() and should stick to the paintComponent() method or whatever is appropriate.

Colour problems when printing - Photoshop image

I have created a small header image in Photoshop. It consists of a background with a number of layers using blue and grey (the grey colour is RGB: 202, 202, 202). I placed the image in InDesign and then converted to press quality PDF for printing. In InDesign I have also created a number of shapes (rectangles with rounded corners) which I have made the same grey colour (202, 202, 202). On the screen everything looks the same grey, however, when I convert to a PDF and print, the grey in the image I placed from Photoshop looks a completely different grey colour to the rectangular shapes I created in InDesign with the same background colour. The grey colour I am using is all 202, 202, 202.
I ahve checked colour synching in bridge and it is correct across the creative suite. I have checked output preview in Acrobat and they are the same. I have also checked profiles (assign profiles) in both PS and ID and they are the same.
The printer is an HP Colour laserjet 3800DN and when i do a etst print, the colours all appear to be okay.
Why when I print are there completely different shades of grey?

Hi,
Just did all that. I converted imager mode in Photoshop to CMYK and created a rectangle shape with the same grey colour underneath it and printed it directly from Photoshop. I then converted image to PNG and placed in InDesign, created a grey rectangle underneath the banner image and printed and finally I converted to press quality pdf and printed. All still have the same colour difference between the grey colours.
The weird thing is the Photoshop grey looks weird - kind of washed out with some magenta in it.
I am beginning to think it is printer problem.

Background Colour displays over my flash work

Dont know what this problem is. I've got a clients game that needs to be handed on Wednesday and cant get any help from my flash tutor because im not in college UNTIL wednesday.
Anyway for some reason when i test scene the box comes up showing my flash fine but when i go and locate the .SWF in the folder that all my flash fla and swfs are then for some reason its only a graphic clip and movieclip animation that displays and the rest of the background is the background colour. I checked this by first changing it to black and preview. To which the background changed black and then did the same and changed the background colour to blue and the same thing happened, the background in the swf changed to blue aswell. I have no actionscript in the scene and the majority of the things are just art besides a graphic clip the movie clip animation.
Any help on this would be appretiated. Could be something small i've missed

Firstly thanks for the fast reply.
Basically its just a room thats drawn in flash using the brush tool. The only thing that was imported was a screenshot of my computer screen which was used for the monitor screen on the computer in that room. The second thing is just an animation of sparkles. The computer, bedroom, wall, window all dont seem to appear when i load the .swf.
Here are two images. The first one is of when the box comes up and it looks fine.
and heres when i load it from the .swf
You can only see the monitor and the sparkles. But since the background colour is white you wont be able to see the sparkles.

Unable to set background colour JTableHeader in Java 1.6_18

We're moving our application from Java 1.4.2 to 1.6_18, so far without major problems but there's some small issues with the GUI. Originally we'd change the background colour of the JTableHeader, but in 1.6_18 that doesn't seem to work. Instead of colouring the complete header it just seems to draw an outline. It kind of gives the impression that there's something on top of the table header which hides the coloured background.
The code below shows what I'm trying to do, and gives different results when compiled in Java 1.4.2 and Java 1.6_18. It makes no difference whether I'm using the UIManager or setting the background directly on the JTableHeader.
The application still works fine of course, but it bugs me that I can't work out what the problem is, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've already had a look at bug [6521138|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6521138], but it makes no difference whether a new JTableHeader is set, so I think it's different. Also, the workaround for bug [4776303|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4776303] has no effect so I think that doesn't apply either.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            // Doesn't give the expected result in Java 1.6_18, the background remains white-ish with only a coloured border.
            // UIManager.put("TableHeader.background", Color.GREEN);
            // UIManager.put("TableHeader.foreground", Color.BLUE);
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(createPanel());
        frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    private static JPanel createPanel() {
        final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        final DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(3, 2);
        final JTable table = new JTable(model);
        // Tableheaders.
        final TableColumnModel columnModel = table.getColumnModel();
        columnModel.getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("First");
        columnModel.getColumn(1).setHeaderValue("Second");
        // Doesn't give the expected result in Java 1.6_18, the background remains white-ish with only a coloured border.
        table.getTableHeader().setBackground(Color.GREEN);
        table.getTableHeader().setForeground(Color.BLUE);
        final JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
        panel.add(scrollPane);
        scrollPane.setSize(400, 100);
        panel.setSize(500, 500);
        panel.setPreferredSize(panel.getSize());
        return panel;

Ah yes, when I change that setting the background of the table header indeed gets the expected background colour.

You want system LaF, you get System LaF, with all the bells and whistles.

Default Background Colour not Black?

I'm having a very irritating problem with the Windows default background colour.
A while ago I had set it to this off-shade of yellow, but now whenever I make a new theme (or even load a saved one) my background colour reverts to this aforementioned yellow instead of whatever I have set it to. Which means my themes can never be saved
and loaded, lest I want to see that awful colour again.
A step-by-step process for those who are having trouble understanding my wording:
make new unsaved theme, bg colour is currently set to yellow. I switch it to black, it works as intended.
Save this theme.
Whenever I load the saved theme, the background colour is yellow, not black, despite all other personalizations saving correctly.
Is there a way to change the default colour so that all themes behave as intended, rather than reverting to my previously selected colour?

Hi,
Can you show us some different screenshots to know more about this issue?

Background colour of rootUIElementContainer

Hi All,
Can i change the background colour of the rootUIElementContainer to White ?
If yes, How?
My actuall problem is the i am having a group UI element and want that no part of the rootUIElementContainer be visible.
If this can be done then i needn't change the background colour.
Thanks.

Hi
By default its rootUIElementContainer i.e Transparent container u can change it to any container color option is associated with it change its layout to matrix then only it will comes as its property(applicable in CE versions only).
rootContainer is top level container so its visibility will effect overall UI i.e nothing will be display.So better let root will be there and further arrange/group your UI element in some different container .

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip
Edited by: Phillip L on Nov 23, 2010 1:51 PM

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

Hello,
Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hey there,
Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem? I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player). Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
Thanks,
Jen.

Drop shadow affects background colour when printing to PDF

I have a diagram in AI format with drop shadows against a coloured background. When I print it from Illustrator to PDF, the background colour around the objects with drop shadows is slightly out, leading to a "blocky" effect. Also, some lines that overlap with the drop shadows are thickened.
I've embedded the diagram in a FrameMaker file and the same problem is evident when I create a PDF from FrameMaker.
The problem is partially solved by saving a copy of the file as an EPS, and embedding this in the FrameMaker document. The "blocky" effect then goes away, but there are still some overly thick lines.
Here is what the PDF image looks like:
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this problem.

All the colours in the picture are process colours. I found the page you refer to earlier, but it didn't seem to apply to my problem. Thanks anyway.
I've read around the Web, and it looks as though the problem is to do with the fact that drop shadows are a raster effect rather than a vector one. I think this means that the areas around the drop shadow get rendered in RGB, while the rest of the diagram is in CMYK.
Anyhow, as I said, the problem seems basically to have been that I wasn't using a high enough quality set of job options for output.
I inherited these diagrams from a previous colleague, and by selecting "HQ Print with bleed marks" I get them as good as he got them, though as I said the thick lines are still there (as they were in his documents).

Chanage background colour of adjacent column in xMII 11.5

Hi All,
Is it possible to change background color of adjacent column based on values.
e. g.
col1     col2     col3     col4     col5     col6
0     A     0     A     0     A
1     B     1     B     1     B
0     C     0     C     0     C
1     D     1     D     1     D
0     E     0     E     0     E
is it possible to set background colour of col2 based on value of col1.
col2 red if col1 value is 0 and col2 green if col1 value is 1

Hi Sachin,
I hope the columns are of iGrid. You can do it by writing iGrid methods.
For all rows, get the cell value using:
document.iGrid.getGridObject().getCellValue(ROWNUMBER,COLNUMBER)
Write the logic of color and apply the color to specific column using
document.iGrid.getGridObject().setCellBackgroundColor(ROWNUMBER,COLNUMBER,COLOR)
Hope this solves your problem.

White background colour in Iframe?

Hi everyone
I hope you are able to help me with this problem I am having:
I am working with an Iframe, where I would like the
background colour to be a specific colour, relating to the colour
next to the Iframe.
The colour sorounding the Iframe is this #E6E3D2, the
background colour of the html-page to which I am linking in the
Iframe is the same colour, but nonetheless, the Iframe keeps
providing a white frame surrounding the content-html-page.
I have tried to make the Iframe and content.html page the
exact same width, but that just give me a vertical scroller + the
white frame.
This is what I mean:
http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/GD-Klubben/Example.jpg
Are there anyone out there, who can explane to me (in very
slow and easily understanding phrases ;o)) how I can get rid of the
annoying white background colour?

No, I haven't uploaded it anywhere yet. Not before I can
solve the problem.
