Resetting Background Color to default

I made a change to the Background Color Property for the Canvas and now want to reset it to the default (so that it will use the color scheme set in the formsweb.cfg file). How do I do this? Typing in "<unspecified>" or "DEFAULT" does not work (it won't allow these values). I can't tell which of the swatches in the color picker would be the default value.
thanks,

Guys, the original issue is to re-set the canvas
background color without drop and re-create it. Thus
that 'Inherit' button on top of the property will not
work for canvas, but for items on the canvas!
Worked for me. (Forms 6i Version 6.0.8.22.1, patch 13)
In fact, I was about to ask how to set the background color of radio buttons, and just saw this topic. I tried the same thing for the radio buttons, and the Inherit button works there, too. (Thank you, Kevin!)

How can I reset the background color of a JPanel to it's default value?

I have some JPanels that I set their background color to white when I add some objects in them. After some operations the objects are removed and I'd like to reset the background color back to it's default gray. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks.

I took a guess and I figured it out. Just set the background color to null.
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(Color.white); //Set Panel to White
Operations......
panel.setBackground(null); //Reset Panel Color to Default Gray

JTable cell background color

Hi All,
I want to change the background color of the same of the cells in jTabel. How can I do that.
Like, I want to keep 3 cells in red color. Another 2 cells in in green color, And keep other cell background color to default.
Also I want to change the background color of the cell, with different selection in other component(like jTree, jList).
Thank you,
Avin Patel

The same cell renderer is used by all cells of the table. You can't just set the background color of a cell once. You have to reset it every time the cell renderer is called (depending on which row/column you are being asked to render). Here is an example:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableCell extends JFrame
     JTable table;
     public TableCell()
          Object[][] data = { {"1", "A"}, {"2", "B"}, {"3", "C"}, {"4", "D"} };
          String[] columnNames = {"Number","Letter"};
          DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
          table = new JTable( model );
          // Set default cell renderer
          TableCellRenderer renderer = new TestRenderer();
          table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, renderer);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TableCell frame = new TableCell();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
     class TestRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
          public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
               JTable table,
               Object value,
               boolean isSelected,
               boolean hasFocus,
               int row,
               int column)
               super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,
               value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
               if (column == 0)
                    setHorizontalAlignment( LEFT );
                    setBackground( Color.blue );
               else
                    setHorizontalAlignment( RIGHT );
                    setBackground( Color.green );
               if (row == 1)
                    setBackground( Color.red );
               return this;
}

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

How to change the background color of a Tab Canvas

Hi All,
I accidentally changed existing background color of a tab Canvas to ' gray' which is not matching with main canvas (which has default).
How can I change background color to default. Please help me.
-Thanks

In the property palette of the tab page, click on the "Background Color" property and click the "Inherit" button on the top of the property palette, this will revert the value of the property to the default when the tab page was created which is <Unspecified>.
But if your tab page has inherited the color from a property class it will revert to what was specified in the property class.

Bridge CS4: Changing preview window's background color

How can I change the preview window's background color? (default is black) It happens that I have some black images with alpha (transparent background) and being all black they blend with the preview window's background color. can this be changed?? I looked everywhere and the only thing I found is how to change bridge's appearance, but not the preview window's bg color. Thanx in advance

Try changing the thumbnail style to HQ or ?, and see if that makes any difference. In Quick thumbs it may not display layers.

How to retrieve default background color for JPanels or other containers?

Hi everybody, I've written a small class extending the default JTextArea, intended to provide the functionality of a small, descriptive item in JPanels.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JInfoTextArea extends JTextArea{
     public JInfoTextArea(String text){
          super(text);
          setEditable(false);
          setFont(Font.decode("SansSerif"));
          setFocusable(false);
          setLineWrap(true);
          setWrapStyleWord(true);
//          setBackground(contentPane.getBackground());
          setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
          setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
}As you can see, there formerly used to be a third parameter, namely contentPane, which contained a reference to the parent Container in order to set the TextArea's background color appropriately for transparency.
Now, is there ANY way to retrieve the background color without either passing a dedicated parameter or doing something like
setBackground((new JPanel()).getBackground());Any help is greatly appreciated!
Yours, Stefanie

To answer your original question the UIManager contains properties of the various components. In case your interested the following program has a fancy GUI display of all the components:

Flex 4.5.1 SDK & default-background-color Compiler Argument

Hey guys,
I was scanning the available compiler arguments list (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a92.html) for Flex 4.5 SDK and noticed that the -default-background-color argument is gone (I realize it's been gone since 4 just haven't used the SDK much lately). My background shows up as black when I run my app (it's an AS3 app with the new Away3D 4.0 Broomstick library) and there is no Flex code in my app so I was depending on this compiler argument to set my background color to white.
How can I achieve this now that the argument is no longer available? I just simply want to have a white background without physically having to create a white sprite in the back of my scene. Is this possible anymore?
Matt

Simeon,
Thanks for that, I had a brainfart and forgot you can have the properties defined in that manner. I changed it but it still wasn't working which made me realize I had to change the backgroundColor property on the view in Away3D. I realized this after trying the params for the class and then not adding the view (which had a white bg) and then i looked at the docs and bam, there it was. Thanks!

Print outs have thin border when -default-background-color is set

Hey everyone. In my application the print out have this very thin border. The -default-background-color is set to #333333 (dark grey) and this is the problem. When I set the color to #FFFFFF (white), the thin borders go away.
When I set the default-backgroun-color to #FFFFFF, my loading screen is white. I don't want that.
Does anyone know how I can have my loading screen with a #333333, but not have the thin border lines around my print outs? Setting the border properties on the printed component doesn't work. The problem is with the background color.
Thanks for reading.
Tom

Still hacking away at this problem.
I thought I had the fix until I deployed the AIR application. Setting the -default-background-color to white worked fine when running from flex builder, but when I installed the application. The "borders" are still showing.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm printing Point of Sale receipts and they look like crap with these lines around them. On top of this, some printers print differently. The HPs print a border around the whole component. The Brother printers just print the left and right. One of my customer's printers just prints the bottom and right borders.

Default background color and Focuslistener disapair on table?

When I imp. TableCellRenderer on my table the default background color and Focuslistener disapair. What can I do to get it back and still keep TableCellRenderer on my table? This is how my TableCellRenderer looks:
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
        JFormattedTextField beloeb = new JFormattedTextField();
        beloeb.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(new NumberFormatter()));
        beloeb.setBorder(null);
        beloeb.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
        if (value != null) {
            if (value instanceof Double) {
                Double val = (Double) value;
                beloeb.setValue(val);
                if (val.doubleValue() < 0) {
                    beloeb.setForeground(Color.RED);
        beloeb.setFont(new Font("Verdana",Font.PLAIN, 11));
        beloeb.setOpaque(true);
        return beloeb;
    }

I'm sorry to say this is a terrible example of a renderer. The point of using a renderer is to reuse the same object over and over. You don't keep creating Objects every time a cell is renderered. In your example your are creating:
a) JFormattedTextField
b) NumberFormatter
c) DefaultFormatterFactory
d) Font.
So you start by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer. A JLabel is used to display the text. There is no need to use a JFormattedTextField. All you want to do is format the data. So in your constructor for the class you would create a NumberFormatter that can be reused to format your data. Then your code in the renderer would look something like:
if (value instanceof Double)
    Double val = (Double)value;
    setText( formatter.format(val) );
    if (negative)
      setForeground(Color.RED)
    else
        setForeground(table.getForeground());
}Here is a really simple [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=419688]example to get you started

Default background color issue

Hi,
I am trying to change themes at run-time using
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(). Whenever I switch to a theme,
the default theme's background color shows up for a fraction of a
second. I tried using the "StyleEvent.COMPLETE" event handler but
it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to remove this? I want the
transition from my current theme to the next theme to be smooth
without the default background color appearing. If anybody can
please provide a solution for this, It would be a great help.
Thanks,
Jai

If I load up my white theme (White.swf -- compiled to swf from css)
and then I want to change to my red theme (Red.swf) like:
StyleManager.unloadStyleDeclarations("White.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Red.swf");
At the * point in the execution, it will flash the green Halo
theme instead of just making a smooth transition from white to
red... It doesn't look so professional...
I have the same problem when switching themes, and it's very
annoying... Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...

Set BACKGROUND COLOR of checkbox to DEFAULT color of form

Does anyone know how to set the background color of a checkbox to the default color of the form? I have tried using SET_ITEM_PROPERTY to no avail. On a related issue, seems once any color is changed from "<UNSPECIFIED>" (i.e. default) to any other color, there is no way to return it to the "<UNSPECIFIED>" state.
Any insight would be appreciated!

To return to unspecified, click the property, then click the Inherit icon at the top of the property palette. Doing this should make the checkbox area (not the box itself) the same as the canvas color.

Default UITableViewCell text label background color

I need a table view cell that just has simple text but with custom backgroundView images when not selected vs. selected. I'm too lazy to implement a custom cell, so I was using the regulation UITableViewCell, setting the backgroundView and backgroundSelectedView. The problem is for non-white backgroundView, when the cell is not selected, the text has a white box around it (the background color of the label containing the text, I assume), which looks horrible. When the cell is selected, the default UITableViewCell implementation takes care of changing the text color to white and text label background to clearColor and the custom backgroundSelectedView shows through beautifully. Is there a reason why the text label shouldn't just have a clear background color ALL THE TIME?? If the UITableViewCell is not customized for backgroundView, i.e., the cell background is white, the clear colored text label is no different from a white colored text label. If the backgroundViews are customized to non-white, a clear text label won't be in the way of the backgroundView showing through.
Does this sound like a good feature request?
How does one submit requests or bug reports for iPhone SDK anyways??
Thanks.

I am having this exact same problem right now. Did you have to subclass UITableViewCell to fix it?
I had the same problem and subclassed UITableViewCell to solve it. I set the backgroundView and selectedBackgroundView to UIView instances I wanted to use and then implemented setSelected:animated: in my subclass.
{code:}
-(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated: (BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected: selected animated: animated];
for (UIView *view in self.contentView.subviews) {
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
{code}
Bit bruteforce and as Apple suggests this will impact table performance, but the tables I work with aren't that big and it works well so far.
It'd be nice if UITableViewCell honored backgroundView like it does selectedBackgroundView, i.e. when the backgroundView property is set keep the cell contents transparent.

Change default background color in Dynamic pages

Anyone knows how to change the default background color of a
dynamic content page in WEBDB 2.2?.
I want to display some information with a query in a Dynamic
Content Page but the background color is, by default, beige.
I try to force the the background color placing the html tag
<td bgcolor=#FFFFFF> but there is still a beige strip at the
left side of the table.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
For about how to inspect page element, you can use IE Developer Tools:
