Setting a Trasparent Color?

Hey folks,
Im working with Keynote for the first time this evening and as a long term Window's user I am having a bit of a hard time transitioning.
I am looking for a feature in Keynote that allows me to set a transparent color on an image (similar to the one in PowerPoint/Word)
Is there a way to do this? Namely, taking a picture with a white background, like an apple, and removing the white background.
^.^ I'm not totally against using another program to do this, but I'm not a huge fan of using something like photoshop to do this with each picture I have.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
~Matthew

I have, in the past, used Keynote's masking feature to crop images. For example, the image of the MacBook Pro on this page,
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/7A7B5816-296B-428E-9FC 5-A183EA22E123.html
was made from this image
http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/gallery/images/macbookpro0120061024.jpg
I used "Draw a Shape" to trace around the edges of the MBP and when I had it the way I liked it, masked the image to the shape. A small amount of touching up after masking was required, but the result doesn't look too bad.

Can't set up irssi colors

I'm feeling really... stupid. I just can't set up irssi colors, almost ashame for asking advice on this
Here's my theme (just cloned the default theme):
# When testing changes, the easiest way to reload the theme is with /RELOAD.
# This reloads the configuration file too, so if you did any changes remember
# to /SAVE it first. Remember also that /SAVE overwrites the theme file with
# old data so keep backups :)
# TEMPLATES:
# The real text formats that irssi uses are the ones you can find with
# /FORMAT command. Back in the old days all the colors and texts were mixed
# up in those formats, and it was really hard to change the colors since you
# might have had to change them in tens of different places. So, then came
# this templating system.
# Now the /FORMATs don't have any colors in them, and they also have very
# little other styling. Most of the stuff you need to change is in this
# theme file. If you can't change something here, you can always go back
# to change the /FORMATs directly, they're also saved in these .theme files.
# So .. the templates. They're those {blahblah} parts you see all over the
# /FORMATs and here. Their usage is simply {name parameter1 parameter2}.
# When irssi sees this kind of text, it goes to find "name" from abstracts
# block below and sets "parameter1" into $0 and "parameter2" into $1 (you
# can have more parameters of course). Templates can have subtemplates.
# Here's a small example:
# /FORMAT format hello {colorify {underline world}}
# abstracts = { colorify = "%G$0-%n"; underline = "%U$0-%U"; }
# When irssi expands the templates in "format", the final string would be:
# hello %G%Uworld%U%n
# ie. underlined bright green "world" text.
# and why "$0-", why not "$0"? $0 would only mean the first parameter,
# $0- means all the parameters. With {underline hello world} you'd really
# want to underline both of the words, not just the hello (and world would
# actually be removed entirely).
# COLORS:
# You can find definitions for the color format codes in docs/formats.txt.
# There's one difference here though. %n format. Normally it means the
# default color of the terminal (white mostly), but here it means the
# "reset color back to the one it was in higher template". For example
# if there was /FORMAT test %g{foo}bar, and foo = "%Y$0%n", irssi would
# print yellow "foo" (as set with %Y) but "bar" would be green, which was
# set at the beginning before the {foo} template. If there wasn't the %g
# at start, the normal behaviour of %n would occur. If you _really_ want
# to use the terminal's default color, use %N.
# default foreground color (%N) - -1 is the "default terminal color"
default_color = "-1";
# print timestamp/servertag at the end of line, not at beginning

- I want everyone nickname but mine in gray
- I want the join/quit text (... has joined/quit) in gray
- I want the mode (@, +, etc) in yellow
I tried to format the text according irssi site, but without luck.
For example tried this to change others nickname color:
pubmsgnick = "{msgnick %y$0%n %K$1%n-}";
pubnick = "%K$*%n";
and this for the quit msg
# mode change is printed ([+o nick])
mode = "{comment %K$*%n}";
# nick/host is printed (parts, quits, etc.)
channick = "%c$*%n";
chanhost = "{nickhost %c$*%n}";
all without any luck. Also tried to put the format strings outside the curly braces, with the same result. I've been editing the config file for a while now, not sure what other information could you possibly need.
I know it's not a big deal, I stil can use the program with no hassle, but it would really be nice to set the colors like that, to help me distinguish between lines.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my lousy english

How to set a background color to view

Hi All,
i creared a view with 2 textboxes and a button.These elements are in TransparentContainer.I set the background color to the TransparentContainer.By setting color to the TransparentContainer it is comming at the center and the 4 sides of it is displaying in the normal background color of the browser
i didnt find any color options for the view called RootUIElementContainer.the width and height of the view are setted to the browser means 1024*768.
Just like sap editor which we get by the link https://www.sdn.sap.com i want to get my view .....
I want to set color to this RootUIElementContainer element which effect the whole view...not the containers or groups which i add under this RootUIElementContainer
Regards
Padma N

hi Padma,
For changing the background colour you will have to make the change in the theme.
You can download the theme editor plugin for eclipse from SDN. With this plugin, you can make changes to the default themes , save as a new theme
Or if you are using portal, then goto system administrator, theme editor, select SAP Streamline and change the color in Screen areas -> application, then save the theme with different name.
Best regards,
Sangeeta

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 can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

Dear All,
Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

Hi,
The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
Please see the API below:
design
Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
Regards,
Jaya.

Can I invoke a SubVI in an event? and how do I set the background color of a pipe to #0000ff?

When I click an image or a glass pipe(which belongs to Industry/Chesmitry category in palette), I want a SubVI to be invoked.
The purpose is to fetch an OPC-UA data from a web service and to write to it via the service.
We are building an HMI solution which displays an interactive water plant diagram.
When users click pipes and motors in the diagram, clicked devices should be turned on and off and change their animations or colors accordingly.
OPC-UA is for communication with devices.
I couldn't even set the background color of a pipe to "#0000ff", but setting it to "Red" or "Blue" was possible, and I don't know how to invoke SubVIs in event scripts.
The documentations in NI.com are confusing and lack depth.
Even silverlight references are confusing.
How do I do all of these?

Hi iCat,
Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?

Setting up HP Color Laserjet 5550n with Mac

I just bought a Laserjet 5550 N. Printer works well when set up through USB. When I try to set up with ethernet:
1. Green light on printer's ethernet port glows green, and port on router is green as well.
2. In the Printer Pane of System prefs, I can add through Bonjour, but not through ethernet (when connected with USB
3. When adding with Bonjour, panel hangs up on Setting up 'hp color laserjet'. I get the options to configure or cancel for several minutes. If I click configure, I can set options for printer, and it appears as a printer. However, I cannot print (printer app tells me that printer is not responding. Also can't get supply levels.
4. Printer has address of 192.168.1.142. When I try to add usining ethernet and that IP address, it cannot find printer. Router address is 10.0.0.1

So my question is: Is there a simple way to just install the 3600 driver for the snow leopard?
It all depends on the driver files used by the LJ3600. If it uses only a PPD, then you could simply copy the PPD to the /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources folder for the Mac's that don't have the driver already installed.
If there are other files required by the PPD, such as plugins and filters, these are probably located in /Library/Printers/HP. So you could also copy this folder with the PPD to the other Mac's to reduce your setup time.
Hope this helps you.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
there is no easy way to do this for a row.

hai,
Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
CellColorRenderer()
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
setForeground(Color.black);
protected void setValue(Object value)
     setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
     if(isSelected == true)
          setForeground(Color.red);
     else
          setForeground(Color.black);
     setValue(value);
     return this;

Can I set the text color in a Label?

Hi everyone ~
Can I set the font color in PP? I only found that there is a "setBackground".. but I want to set the color within a Label.
Thanks!
Gary

Fixed it!
There was a global style for s|Label and since the Spark button uses one of these for the text, that was it.

How to set a HTML color to a control button

How to set a fixed color to a disabled button?
I have a boolean button which has 3 status: on, off and disabled. I don't like the 'grayed and disabled' option. I will use red for off, green for on, and white gray (foreground color) for the disabled status. The HTML color code is BDBDBD. I tried to send the hex number 'BDBDBD' to the button property node 'color[4]' but was told that I was wiring to the wrong type of terminal.
Could any one post a sample code of how to construct the structure of 'color[4]' using a RRGGBB number?
Thanks,
Ryan

What exectly do you want and do you see.
If I run the code you have in LabVIEW 9.0, I get the following result after running.
For convenience I have shown the second color array you set as color indicators:
Note that you use grey as the colors for True and False
Here I have set made the colors more distinct:
