Selection background color in 452 vs 447

I am using a TextFlow with a SelectionManager. I have not been able to track this down, but since switching from build 447 to 460 today, my selection background color does not change during a selection. The selection works fine and it copies fine, but i do not see any visual indication that it is selecting. I moved back to build 452, and that also has this issue. Build 447 did not. Looking at the changes from 447 to 452 (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/builds/changelog.html?452) doesn't give me any hints as to what I am doing wrong. I tried out the SelectText sample in 460 and it works fine, so its not an inherit flaw in the selectionmanager, just something I am doing incorrectly or differently.
The code I am using is too interweaved with other code to post here, but does anyone know off hand of a change between 447 to 452 that could cause this issue? I am going to try to take my code out and get it to break in a testbed and then slowly move back towards the most basic (ie: the example SelectText.as) and see if I can figure something out.
Any help would be appreciated,
-Kevin

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
Thanks

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

JTree custom renderer setting selection background color problem

Hi,
I have a JTree with a custom icon renderer that displays an icon. The JTree is part of a TreeTable component. Iam having a problem setting the selection background uniformly for the entire row. There is no problem when there is no row selected in the JTable.
My present code looks like this:
Iam overriding paint in my renderer which extends DefaultCellRenderer.
     super.paint(g);
        Color bColor = null;
        if(!m_selected) {
             if(currRow % 2 == 0) {
                  bColor = Color.WHITE;
             } else {
                                                bColor = backColor;
        } else {
             bColor = table.getSelectionBackground();                  bColor = getRowSelectionColor();
     if(bColor != null) {
                       g.setColor(bColor);
         if(!m_selected) {
               g.setXORMode(new Color(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF));
         } else {
             g.setXORMode(new Color(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));
              I have a color I arrive at using some algorithm that I want using method getRowSelectionColor(). The other cells in the row have this color. But the cell containing the tree node shows different color. Iam not able to arrive at the right combination of the color to set and the xor color so my tree node also looks like the other cells in the row.
It is not a problem really as the table still looks good. Its just that the tree node looks like it has been highlighted and this might cause a problem when a table cell is highlighed later on in the application ( two cells in the row would be highlighted causing confusion).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Camickr,
Thanks for the reply. Iam sorry I didn't include the sources the first time around. There were too many of them. I have created a small, self-contained, compilable program that demonstrates the problem and including it herewith. Still there's quite many files but they are all needed Iam afraid. The only one you will have to concern yourself fior this problem is the file IconRenderer.java. The treenode background and the other cells background are not in sync when table row is not selected in this example though. But they are in my real program. I just need them to be in sync i.e have the same background color when the row is selected.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
These are the files that are included below:
1. AbstractTreeTableModel.java
2. Bookmarks.java
3. BookmarksModel.java
4. DynamicTreeTableModel.java
5. IconRenderer.java
6. IndicatorRenderer.java
7. JTreeTable.java
8. TreeTableExample3.java (contains main)
9. TreeTableModel.java
10. TreeTableModelAdapter.java
The copyright and javadocs information has been stripped for clarity.

Selection background color in a custom TreeCellRenderer

I'm trying to write a custom TreeCellRender and I'm not having any luck getting the selection to work. When I click on a node (leaf or not) the color of the node does not change. If I use the default renderer instead of my custom renderer selection works fine. I've tried everything I can find on the web, setOpaque(true) setTextSelectionColor() etc but I'm not getting anywhere. I've also tried setting the background color in getTreeCellRendererComponent() based on the selected boolean. Still nothing.
Here's my code:
class PackageTreeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
     public PackageTreeRenderer() {
          setOpaque(true);
          setTextSelectionColor(getBackgroundSelectionColor());
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree t,Object value,boolean sel,boolean expanded,boolean leaf,int row,boolean hasFocus) {
          DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
          Object obj = node.getUserObject();
          if(obj instanceof String) {
               String name = (String) obj;
               setText(name);
          if(obj instanceof ResultPackageInterface) {
               ResultPackageInterface rpi = (ResultPackageInterface) obj;
               String name = "Name";
               try {
                    name = rpi.getDescription();
               catch(RemoteException ex) {
                    errorMessage(ex);
               setText(name);
          if(leaf) {
               setIcon(getLeafIcon());
          else {
               if(expanded) {
                    setIcon(getOpenIcon());
               else {
                    setIcon(getClosedIcon());
          return this;
}Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone but I got it working. Instead of extending DefaultTreeCellRenderer it works if I extend JLabel and implement TreeCellRenderer. Here's my code for future reference:
class PackageTreeRenderer extends JLabel implements TreeCellRenderer {
     public PackageTreeRenderer() {
          setOpaque(true);
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree t,Object value,boolean sel,boolean expanded,boolean leaf,int row,boolean hasFocus) {
          DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
          Object obj = node.getUserObject();
          setText(obj.toString());
          if(obj instanceof String) {
               String name = (String) obj;
               setText(name);
          if(obj instanceof ResultPackageInterface) {
               ResultPackageInterface rpi = (ResultPackageInterface) obj;
               String name = "Name";
               try {
                    name = rpi.getDescription();
               catch(RemoteException ex) {
                    errorMessage(ex);
               setText(name);
          if(leaf) {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.leafIcon"));
          else {
          if(expanded) {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.openIcon"));
          else {
               setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("Tree.closedIcon"));
          if(sel) {
               setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.selectionForeground"));
               setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.selectionBackground"));
          else {
               setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.textForeground"));
               setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Tree.textBackground"));
          return this;

Chance Xfce desktop icon color and folder select background color

Hi there,
I'm using Xfce as my DE and I have installed this theme.
The problem is, because I have a black desktop background I can't see the icon's labels very well. I already tried to change the color with the file .gtkrc-2.0 in many ways, including the one in Arch Wiki, but the problem continues.
The other problem is, when I select a folder/file in Thunar the background is white, and again it's very difficult to distinguish between selected and not select folders/files. How can I change the background color? (This one I have no idea of how to make).
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason
      Yes using Image we can achieve that goal but i want to use a background color instead of Image background. Finally I used a background color on label and set the that label field on Screen. And It's showing the background color on WorkOrderList Row & Selected Row that what i wanted. But on both Row & Selected TileView Screen showing white outline that i don't want and also i could not remove the default Selected Blue Background Color.
     Please guide me how to remove white outline and default Blue Selected Background color.

Setting the background color of the selection when text selected (input TextField)

My input TextField has a black background. The problem is,
when some text is enter and then selected, the selection background
color remains black and the selected text remains white. Because of
this it's imposible to tell that the text has been selected. Is
there a way to change the selection background color, or do I
really have to write a custom textfield? :(

Yes, I do have an additional attribute called "identity" which is set to the original table where it came from. The problem is that I do not know how to check for it in my renderer. I will post my renderer code here
public class myTableRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer{
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent( JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected,boolean hasFocus,int row,int column) {
final Component component = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value,isSelected,hasFocus, row, column);
if ( value != null ) {
if ( value instanceof String ) {
String val = value.toString();
if ( val.compareTo("DisplayKnown") == 0 ) {
component.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
else
component.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
} // end if value not null
return component;
} // end mytablerenderer
What happens here, is that only the column with the identity value "DisplayKnown" gets the color blue. I would like to color the whole row with that column value to be Blue.
Does this make sense??
Thanks,
npatel

Dynamically Set Subreport Background Color to the Same Value as Main Report Background Color

I have a report that contains a subreport. The main report has groupings in it. I am dynamically setting the background color of the group rows based on an expression. That part is working fine. The problem that I am having is that
I don't know how to get the subreport to "inherit" the background color of the grouping that holds it.
Basically, I have different row shadings on my report differentiating the groupings except for the rows where the subreport shows.
How do I go about setting the subreport background color to equal it's contaiing grouping's background color? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance provided.

The parameter method given by gpshukla will send the info to the subreport, but you don't need the color parameter in the main report, only the subreport. The trick is in setting the value of that parameter.
Right-click the cell with the embedded subreport, you can select subreport properties.
Select Parameters and add a parameter.
The name column is the name of the parameter in the subreport (color) and value is the value to set it to.
Set name to "color" (no quotes).
Set Value to the same expression used to set the background color for the row.
In the subreport, click the design surface to select the report (not header or footer).
In the properties pane, select background color and choose expression from the dropdown.
Type =Parameters!color.Value into the expression builder.
This will work assuming that background color in the main report row will not change without also refreshing the subreport.

How to set selected text color in Spark TextInput

I'm trying to make Spark TextInputs and MXFTETextInputs look like Halo/MX TextInputs as much as possible, since I have a mix of both Spark and MX TextInputs in my application. I know I can set the
selection background color to black using focusedTextSelectionColor. How can I set the selected text color to white so it matches the MX white-on-black look?

This works, if you set the enabled property directly on the s:TextInput:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />
    </s:layout>
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:CheckBox id="ch" label="enabled" selected="true" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
        s|TextInput:disabled {
            color: red;
    </fx:Style>
    <s:Group>
        <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{ch.selected}" />
    </s:Group>
</s:Application>
It can get a bit trickier when you're setting the enabled property on a parent container, since (I believe) that the child control's enabled properties are still set to true and just the container is disabled. One possible workaround would be to bind the child TextInput control's enabled property to the container's enabled property. That way the s:TextInput should still go to it's disabled state and you can customize the disabled state's styles to have darker text, or whatever else you want.
<s:Group id="gr" enabled="{ch.selected}">
    <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{gr.enabled}" />
</s:Group>

JPopupMenu-item selection backbround color

Hi !
I want to change item selection background color of JPopupMenu from its default color. How can I do this?
Pawan

UIManager.put("MenuItem.selectionBackground", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));

Solid background color... creating

How do I make a background color for the entire page? I thought I just went to "Fill" (top left) and clicked on it. Then chose my color... and that's that. But... it's creating an area of the color... that doesn't go to the very edge of the web page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
julie

Hi Julie
Make sure you are using fill option for browser not page , if you will select page fill then it would show you the same but with browser fill you can select background color for page as well browser area.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Custom Action to change selected column's Background color for a table in CEWP

I have a OOTB CEWP. When I insert a table to this, I would like to see a context menu that would give me an option to change the selected cell's/row's/table's properties like cell padding/cell spacing/background color etc.
How can this be achieved using SP2013 ribbon's custom actions. It would be great if we could add all these properties on a separate contextual tab when row/cell/table is selected.
Rajasekar A.C

Hi,
If the table in Content Editor Web Part, we don’t need to use SharePoint Ribbon to achieve it.
We can insert some input button and use jQuery to change the table tr/td background color.
The code like this:
<style type="text/css">
.highlight {
background-color: red;
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#TableID tr").click(function () {
$(this).toggleClass("highlight");
</script>

Change the background color of selected row in adf table

Hi,
Can somebody guide me in changing the background color of a row when its being selected. In my ADF table, one of the column is of type Command Link. So whenever i click this command link on any particular row that complete row color should change as an indication of that row being selected.
Please guide me to do this. I referred to other forum posts, but they couldnt meet my need.
Thanks
ri

Hi Frank,
you're right. This should work. But the result is not perfect from my point of view.
I use
<af:table ...>
<af:column ...>
    <af:outputText value="#{row.col1}" inlineStyle="#{row.mystyle}"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>and I get e.g. this in HTML:
<table ...>
<tr>
    <td class="af_column_cell-text OraTableBorder1111"><span style="font-weight:bold;">qqq</span></td>
</tr>
</table>while I would prefer to get somethig like this:
<table ...>
<tr>
    <td style="font-weight:bold;"><span>qqq</span></td>
</tr>
</table>, which looks much smarter. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Alexandre.

Background color change question - only selecting the footer

I use the darkroom theme and was curious about changing the page background color. Right now my settings use the darkroom theme 'right out of the box' which is 'image fill' on both the page and browser background. That is the textured look.
When I try to change the color, selecting 'color fill' instead of 'image fill', it only changes the footer - not the entire page background.
I'm guessing it's not possible to change a color using the 'image fill.' You get 'image fill' in black or gray as shown and that is it, except should you decide to use your own image, which I do not.
Any way to be able to have a change apply to the entire page and not just the footer?
Suggestions welcome.

I tried to do the same just see what the problem was and failed. It is probably 'cos the top layer is independant of the page background or browser background. Even when I had page background none and altered the browser background it made no difference. If you want anything different try using a blank black or white theme and putting your own graphics on there. You can make quite nice backgrounds if you have a decent paint or photo program.
