Question on Custom Background

I was hoping one of the wizards, i.e. Brian, Kyn, Tulsa or others can help me solve my little dilemma.
I used my PM G5 and my 23 inch display to create a double black gradient using photoshop. Basically, it is a black slide from top to bottom but towards the middle it gets subtly lighter to create a great depth of field. I started with a standard black gradient theme and did a picture grab of the top half and saved it. I flipped the image and saved as another file. So I now have two mirror images of the same image. Then, I opened Photoshop elements and did a photomerge of the two over oneanother vertically. I saved the image and went back to my presentation and changed the background to "image select" and chose the above image and did "tile" and it looks FABULOUS on my 23 in HD display. But when I open the presentation on my PB G4, the background looks like crap, as if someone splashed off black paint onto the background. It is not smooth at all. What have I done wrong and what am I missing??
Thanks for the feedbacks

Does the original theme look OK on your PB? If so, what I would do is create the background totally within Keynote -- grab the image, mask it so only the top half shows, duplicate it, flip the copy and move it where it needs to go, and plop the whole shebang on a master. (You might even start by grabbing the background directly from inside the theme package and placing it on a master to start the process, rather than doing a screen grab.)
Doing it this way means you don't have to worry about any changes in format or colour weirdness going from Keynote to screenshot to Elements to Keynote.
If you're looking to do a more customizable double-gradient, you should also see this post at Ken Drake's blog, as it covers how to do this very well.

Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

Custom background image for 7942 IP phones on CCM 6.1.2

All,
i am unable to create the custom background images for the Cisco 7942 IP phone, i am running a CCM version 6.1.2. I have uploaded the Image files and also the List.xml file, but when i click on custom images i dont see the image that i uploaded and it say "no selection available". And also after i uploaded the files i have restrated the TFTP services.Have attached the images and List.xml files.Please have a look @ them and let me know if i am missing something here.
Thanks,
Rohith

First off, as this is a CUCM question, you'd be better of over in the IP Telephoney forum (
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/ip-telephony )
The thing that jumps out at me is the case of the filename. CUCM Runs on Linux which is case sensitive. Try matching the case.
If that doesn't help, try looking at the phone logs or Wiresharking the phone.

Questions in Custom Tag

Hi,
I have couple of questions in Custom Libraray Tags:
1) How I can from Tag Java file to open a new JSP window without the toolbars and determine the window size.
2) How I can read a JSP parameter from Tag Java file. For example I have a field called "x" in JSP is not connected to the TAG by setAttribute.
3) How I can pass a dynamic value to custom tag. <route:routeList agentID = "1" >
how I can change the "1" to a field. When I change it to: <route:routeList agentID = "<%=request.getParameter("agentID")%>" > or to <route:routeList agentID = <%=request.getParameter("agentID")%> > I get empty value, even though the field has a value.
Thank you ...

[email protected] ... Well, if you put something as an attribute in the pageContext object, you can get it... same as request or session scope attributes, but I thought the OP meant to do this (I guess not, though.. see below):
<%
String str = "...";
%>
<mytag:stuff .... />
And within the stuff tag, use str as a variable. I don't believe that's possible, because the compiled page in effect becomes like this:
String str = "...";
doStuffTag(whatever the parameters are);
Obviously that's not the right naming for the tag, but you get the idea...
JavaUserProg....
2) First, it's best to put quotes around the tag attributes...
<INPUT readOnly style="WIDTH: 84px; HEIGHT: 22px" name="operation[<%= lineNum%>"] value="<%=operation%>">
Second, do you mean you want to read from the tag what the HTML input field has in it? First, you have to submit the form, then the call request.getParameter("fieldname") to get the value. Otherwise, I'm not clear on what you are really trying to do.
3) If the field in the tag is an int field: setAgentID(int)
Then you can define the tag value as:
<mytag:stuff agentID="1" />
or
<% int aid = 1; %>
<mytag:stuff agentID="<%= aid %>" />
If you just put a static string value like the first way, it converts it. If you put an expression, the expression has to match the type of value it really is. So int for int, String for String, Collection for Collection.

Making Custom background Folders

Hello, thank you for reading this. I made some files for work and I want to present them professionally, so I want a custom background in it. The problem is, Im using Leopard so I cant just Command-J and choose picture. I obviously need to run some terminal commands. I dont want to use third party apps or regular apps either. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

you have two options:
- buy FileStorm http://www.mindvision.com/filestorm.asp
or follow these istructions:
- Prepare the disk. 
- Build your disk on a temporary partition  The temporary Partition is just a mounted disk image, NOT an actual partition on your hard drive. You create it with Disk Copy, or Toast (see the "Utilities" menu), or whatever. It's just a standard disk image, any decent disk imaging software will do the job. If the target is a CD, make it 690MB or whatever your CD holds minus a few MB for manufacturing errors ;o) 
- Give the volume a name. This is important. The Finder uses this name to find the image later on. 
- Make a nice background pic. The ones here are just desktop pictures grabbed off the web (I was specifically looking for pics I could shrink to fit my disks). Whatever you like.. Save the picture. 
You must save the picture on your new volume, maybe in the root directory. If the images aren't on the disk, they wont travel with the disk.. 
-Drop the image right into the top folder and call it whatever you like, but do make it a jpeg or a png. I usually use jpegs, because they are the smallest format for photos. My originals look much better than the highly compressed pics you see here (even with high quality levels, jpeg compression's file size savings will be enormous)  
Pretty up your folders. 
-Open the folder you want to customise and hit apple-j (or "Command-J" if you prefer). In the "View Options" dialog, click on the picture button at the bottom and locate your tasty new background pic.  I'm hoping that in the future we will be able to set a whole drive's backgrounds in one go, and have a global "X drive" background, another background for User Disk, etc, but for now you'll have to do them all by hand. It doesn't take too long, especially put the PATH of the image location in the clipboard and just keep pasting it into the "Select a picture" dialog box - something like - /Volumes/mydisk/tasty.jpg 
- Hide the pics! 
There are lots of ways to do this, and a plethora of new "extended info managers" have recently sprung up for OS X. I recommend Setfile in the terminal. Quick and easy. 
I guess you could put a "." at the start of the name, but that would be painful in practice.

When I open a new tab in Firefox (v. 5) the custom background I have selected doesn't show. Any thoughts? Thanks

When I open Firefox for the first time, the custom background I have displays. But any time I open a new tab while FF is already running the background displays as white- not showing the custom picture I have selected

Just found out that FoxTab 1.4.2b is causing this problem. Solution? Disable it.

Question about Custom Escalation Function

I want to use a Custom Escalation Function described on this document:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_workflow.htm#BACHEFDH
I want to execute a custom function on task EXPIRATION.
Main Question: The "Custom Escalation Function" is just for Escalation or i can use too for EXPIRATION ?
Thanks.
Victor Jabur

Okay Experts. The problem is solved. There was no problem with the custom key figure function. The problem was with the sales order data. The sales order details for the material in question were under the "make to order" segment and the other transaction data info was in the "make to stock" segment.
Once i found this out , i tried loading someother material and it worked perfectly.
Thanks

Custom background for UINavigationBar?

Hi,
how to set a custom background image for the whole navigation bar of a navigation controller? I can't find any appropriate API method.
I tried already to mess around with the views of the UINavigationBar to insert my background view - with the result no not-showing buttons and titles :-/
Also subclassing of UINavigationBar with a new drawRect method does not lead to anywhere - there is simply now way to set the navigation bar for a UINavigationController!
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias Huber

Create a category that extends UINavigationBar:
@implementation UINavigationBar (UINavigationBarCategory)
-(void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage*)image{
if(image == NULL){ //might be called with NULL argument
return;
UIImageView *aTabBarBackground = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
aTabBarBackground.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.frame.size.width,self.frame.size.height);
[self addSubview:aTabBarBackground];
[self sendSubviewToBack:aTabBarBackground];
[aTabBarBackground release];
@end
And call this method from wherever you are initializing your UINavigationController:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
// Initialization code
// Create the navigation and view controllers
SinglePlayerRootViewController *_rootViewController = [[SinglePlayerRootViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *_navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:_rootViewController];
self.navigationController = _navigationController;
[_navigationController release];
[_rootViewController release];
// set the image for the top navigation bar
[[navigationController navigationBar] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"NavigationBarBackgroundTop.png"]];
// Configure and show the window
[self.view addSubview:navigationController.view];
return self;
I hope this helps!

Custom background images in pop-up menus?

Can I use custom background images in FW MX (v6) popup menus?
If so, how can I get them in there? If I can't do it in FW, is
there a way to modify the JavaScript to call on the appropriate
images? And, if I can get custom images in there, with embedded
text, is there a way to make the navigation elements "crawlable" by
search engine bots? I'm trying to achieve a particular visual
effect for my client's website, and use a custom font in the menu
cells -- hence HTML text won't work.
I also seem to be getting a one-pixel transparent space
between the cells that looks weird. Any advice?
Any help is appreciated.
Jeff

Batch convert png to jpeg with custom background

How to batch convert pngs to jpegs, but using custom background ? Is there any action or plugin for that ?

Image Processor in conjunction with an Action (that places and positions a background for example) should suffice.
