Setting background image for repeating frame in .pdf report

Is it possible to set a background image for a repeating frame, and more specifically for a repeating frame rendered in .pdf?
I do not see any standard property in the navigator for images of any sort and the documentation touches only on setting background images for graphs, which is not the intent in my case. I -did- add an HTML table property background="myimage.jpg" but the report is ultimately generated in .pdf format and I was not surprised to see that the image was not rendered.
Does anyone know if setting a background image as described is even possible, and if so, how? A second but less optimum solution would be setting the image as the background for all report pages, again in .pdf.
Many thanks.

Hi Raj,
Yes you can have an image in the background. Thats possible if you are using XML forms as an iview or ivew dev in WebDynpro...
Also check this [link|regarding background color change in iview]

Setting background images for transparent terminals

Of the various terminal emulators I've tried (aterm, urxvt, terminal) none of them function properly with regard to transparency if the background is set with imagemagick.
display -window root <image>
Terminal and aterm do not show through to the background image at all. While urxvt does become transparent, none of the tinting options show any effect.
This is not a huge issue. There are of course many other programs that can be used to set a background image. When using feh for example, all of the afore mentioned terminal emulators seem to handle transparency as expected.
feh --bg-scale <image>
However, if both methods of setting the background are used at the same time with different images, then the terminal emulators will show through to the background image that was placed with feh, while the actual desktop background is that of the image set by imagemagick. So the images are effectively placed on different layers.
There was a forum thread that hinted at this before, but there was never any resolution to it. Is this behavior a bug or a "feature"? With which program?
And if it makes any difference I've tried this in both openbox and ion3. Same results.

It's a bug with the apps that set the background which use the "old way" of doing it. Apps like feh use the "newer approach" which allows things such as aterm to detect the real image and use it for pseudo-transparency.

Background Image not visible in a PDF report

Hi Experts!
I create a WORD 2007 template for BI Publisher 11g. I use a background image.
When I test the template locally as a PDF, the background image is visible, but when I open the Report with the BI Publisher, there is no image.
Has anyone an idea?
Regards Norbert

The size of the images was too big after compressing it. It worked fine.

How to add background image for a JInternalFrame Container?

JInternalFrame fr=new JInternalFrame();
//we added to desktop,
Container c=fr.getContentPane();
//how can we set background image for a internal frame??
thanks,
waiting,

You can let the container's border draw the background image: caution: some will find this image disturbing.
One nice thing about this solution is that you don't have to subclass any components.

Sorry, the service went crazy there.
Right click the poage header and select insert section below.
Place the imnage in the lower page header (B probably), and then right click the page header b and select format section (section expert) and select the underlay following sections.
This will give you an idea of the underlay following sections use, then in future posts try including your software version and technical infomation.

How to add different background image for submenu items???

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to web design and CSS in particular. Here's my problem...
I've got a Spry horizontal menu bar (untouched as yet), and I want to have a different background image for my submenu items than that of my menu items. From searching the internet I think that I need to apply a class to the submenu item (please correct me if I am wrong).
How would I go about doing this and how would I assign the class to just the submenu items?
Also ideally I want to have my first and last menu items to have rounded corners on one side (therefore making a rounded edge menu bar), is it possible to have a different background image for individual menu items? If so, how?
Really appreciate any help!

Thanks for the link! I've managed to sort the background issue, and it seems to be working fine!
Just one little issue left to tackle...
I want my text to be centered in my top menu items BUT aligned left in my drop down menu items. I have managed this but the text hugs the left hand side. I've tried adding a little margin to the left but that doesn't seem to affect anything???
Here's my CSS... Any ideas which class I should be targeting or why adding the margin isn't working would save my tearing the rest of my hair out! thanks! (screenshot attached).

Adding A Separate Background Image For Each Menu Item

I asked this in the Spry forum, and not sure I understand the answer. Plus, I should have been more specific in asking how to do it, as I'm still pretty new to this stuff. Nothing I'd found indicated it could be done, or how.
Org question -
I know you can apply a background image to the menu bar items, but is it possible to add a background image for each individual item? What I'm basically trying to keep are the effects (bevel/emboss, etc.,) that I attached to the text, when I created it in PS CS4.
Answer -
Yes you can. The widget is just normal plain html markup so you can just add other classNames or id attributes to the elements. And style the elements through those classes/ids.
Does this mean I'd have to write a new rule for each menu item? What?
Thank you.

Did an Adobe Tutorial for creating/entering a Spry Menu Bar. This is the HTML, after I took out the submenus.
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="news.html">Features</a></li>
      <li><a href="news.html">News</a></li>
      <li><a href="news.html">Fashion</a></li>
      <li><a href="news.html">Lifestyle</a></li>
      <li><a href="news.html">Calendar</a></li>
    </ul>

@Peter
Yes! This works well now. Now I can get repeating background images directly in the code as well as in my CSS style sheets. This looks good and helps me a lot as there are lots of occasions for me using this. I've gotten used to having repeating image backgrounds in HTML and missed that in Flex 3. This feature alone makes moving to Flex 4 worthwhile.
This works fine for me:
<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:BorderContainer width="100%" height="100%"
         backgroundImage="@Embed('images/bkg/grey_grid.gif')"
         backgroundImageFillMode="repeat" >

        <s:BitmapImage id="legalPad"
              source="@Embed('images/bkg/legalPad.gif')"
              fillMode="repeat"
              left="40" top="100"
              width="825" height="200" />
    </s:BorderContainer>
</s:Application>
Here are the images I used:

Background image for PanelDashboard

Hi ,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I have one PanelDashboard in my page I need show one background image for that Dash Board.
The image is very small so It showing multiple times entirely occupy the page.So I I try with below CSS codes but now the image is not showing.
I want to show the image only once and the also exact place.
+.backgroundImage+
+{+
position: absolute;
background-image: url("../img/sampleImage.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 1;
margin: 0.0pt ;
+}+
Thanks,

Hi,
actually I would use skinning for this and reference the panel dashboard skin selector. You also need to set the panelBoxes contained in the dash board to have opaque background as otherwise they will overlay your background image

Need to create a background image for Joomla

I need to create a custom background image for a Joomla site.
Can anyone offer a simple tutorial on the steps I need to take to create the image?
Thanks

Okay. The image has a gold gradient from top to bottom, but the text repeats in smaller blocks.
First, you need a tiling image of some text, on a transparent background. Then, this image needs to be added as a pattern in Fireworks.
Next, you get to use your new pattern. In your document, create a tall rectangle with a vertical gradient. Make this image the same width as your tiling pattern, so that your resulting background image will also tile. Over that you put a rectangle with no color fill, but fill it with the text pattern. Save this working Fireworks document, then export to use on the Web.
I don't understand the phrase "I need to know how to size the image, possibly with CSS." Background images are the size they are. When this image is set to be the background, then it should be specified to repeat in the horizontal direction (repeat-x).
Here's some info on making a seamless tile:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2384441
Using patterns:
http://www.entheosweb.com/fireworks/patterns.asp
There have been some recent threads on using gradients, just flip back a page or two (unless my mind's playing tricks on me and they're older).
Hmm... Possibly helpful:

Set background image in the Interface builder

Hi,
Is there a way to set a background image for a View controller through the Interface builder? I'm using story boards.
If not please tell me how to do that programatically. I need to set this background image for all my UIs.
Thanks

Remember that the client is running from a browser. You need to have the file be available to the browser and that means having it be served by the web server. Place the image file in a directory available to the web server and map that directory to a virtual web server directory and specify it with a url relative to the web server root: /images/your_image.gif

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.
