Setting colour of text background

I automatically generate mail from FileMaker, attaching a PDF of my data. Filemaker generates an outgoing message with the file attached and then passes me to Mail so that I can modify it and send it. This morning, the accompanying text has a black background. I can change the text colour and the document colour but can find no way of removing this black background. It would be a normal thing to do in an Word document or an HTML document, change the "text background", but not in Mail! Any ideas please?

Hate to say it but me too (from the Filemaker side). Happened right after installing S5. Worse it now shows the PDF in one of those windows that displays an X in the upper left corner. The simple solution is cut the PDF file from the stinking window, delete the window and paste the PDF back in. How could they screw this up? The whole window viewer is an annoyance as it often pops up when I least expect it on replies, making it very hard to trim quoted text in a reply. What is wrong with simple?

Add background colour to text

Hi
I was just wondering it its possible to add a text background colour in muse (for links) natively or would I have to achieve this by using CSS?
Had a search but could not find an answer.
Thanks

Yes ... but I don't know why the above solution has been picked as Correct, because it's wrong ...
Just create the text wording you want then give it give that a background FILL colour as would with any other element ... to make it look better add a STROKE of about 1 (or 2) ... then a bevel (rounded corners) of 3 ... then use the 'Spacing' option (right panel) and use the pixel settings to give the text equal spacing from the edges so they're not too tight to the borders ...
The button below (which is on a black background) was given a Facebook link ... when hovering over the link you get the hand popup to show it's a web link ... and was customised to the colour theme of the website ... then use the STATE options to create colours for Over, Down and Active ... to show feedback when using the button ...
Just click on the text field to set a hyperlink ... no need to actually highlight the whole text itself ... and don't forget to tick the 'open in new window or tab' box if that's what you want it to do ...
cheers,

Can one textfield have multiple text backgrounds?

Hello guys,
I have been trying to find a way to color the backgrounds of different words in a single textfield with different colors.
For an example, lets imagine the whole text is a story which has nouns and verbs...etc
Now I want to show the full text which is my story and highlight the background of nouns in blue, verbs in red.
Please see the attachment.
Then I have dedicated toggle buttons for each types. The use of those buttons is removing or showing those backgrounds. For an example and when user clicks on noun button it will remove or show the background of all the nouns. Same for the button for verbs.
Then you may ask why I can't achieve this by using separate textfield for each word in the story and line them like a paragraph.
The problem is user should be able to edit those text. So those are INPUT typed textfields. So all the words should move within the boundaries of paragraph when user keep changing one word. Please see the second attachment and you may see that I have changed the first word by typing "abcde", so as I type all other words should move like you type inside a textfield. So thats why I think if we can achieve it using single textfield rearranging words as user types is taken care of the textfiled so we don't need to place all the words manually.
When I was trying to think of a way to do it, I found that background is only a property of TextField, but not TextFormat.
If it was a property of textformat then I could have set different formats for different words in same textfield.
So that option is out.
Also I thought of using CSS with htmlText. But unfortunately text-background is not supported by actionscript stylesheet class.
I really appreciate if you can post your expert ideas to help me how to achieve this task.
Thanks
Nisha

Is there an expert to answer this question please?

How do I change the colour of text in a cell in a JTable?

I am trying to change the color of the text in a single cell in a JTable. I have tried not adding a cell renderer and it changes the colour of text in all cells.
I have tried adding a cell renderer to the table and it does the same ie all cells text colour changes.
I am able to add a cell renderer to a column and it changes all the cells in the column.
I cannot figure out how to change just one single cell's text colour without effecting the other cells.

Ok, so if i create my own cell renderer do I set it as the default renderer for the whole table i.e.
table.setDefaultRenderer(MyCellRenderer, renderer);
Does this set one cell renderer for the whole table or is there an individual one for each cell?

hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

Your description of the problem is not quite clear so I made certain assumptions. I hope I am rigtht. I believe you have a color patch such as this:
that you would like to place in an image area that has modeling in its white background. You do not want to lay in a flat color but rather to add a color and not lose the modeling or other background tone. The problem is, after making the selection, if you use Edit > Fill and set the Blending mode to Color, the white background remains white. The only colored background area may be an object's shadow or some similar area that is not pure white. (Image 2) It is an unsatisfactory result.
If that is an accurate description of the problem, consider this:
Image 1: The original image
Image 2: Edit > Fill with the Blending mode set to Color. White remains white
Image 3: Mode changed to Lab Color. Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Color. Then return to RGB.
(I would not normally use this green as a replacement color but since it is a Tiffany clock, I chose a light version of Tiffany's trademark color.)

Slider with Synth - Problems setting tick and text color

Hi,
I'm currently using Synth and I'm having some problems with sliders. The sliders appear and work fine, although I can't seem to change the color of the ticks and text.
I would like the ticks and text to be orange, but it seems to default to black. I tried changing this in the Slider section of my Synth file (see below) but with no luck.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Adobe Forms: Printing Header Text - Background as Dark

Hi,
We are upgrading our ECC system to Enahncement Pack 5.
We have Adobe forms for Sales Order, Delivery Notes,... In Border Palatte, we have set 'Solid' as a background fill for our header texts
After applying patches, Adobe forms started printing header texts background very Dark.We are not able to read the texts. If I view the document in the spool then they are displayed correctly. If I save spool document on the desktop and print it then also output is printed as we want. Only when we print it directly through VA01, VA02 ( directly from SAP ) then it gives this error.
I removed the background fill then it prints text correctly but then I loose the separation between header and content.
I will appreciate any help in this regard

Hi mrudul,
as usual in programming, you got different ways to solve the problem. So if you work through the content here on SCN you will find a lot of examples how to decide between different letter heads. The easiest solution (and might be the best) is to pass the necessary data via the interface and do not add any condition in the form itself.
How to create a dynamic field and all the stuff is very basic knowledge, so I think you do not need any explaination how to do that. If so I refer you to the official documentation provided by SAP.
If you have some minutes please work through this blog Before You Ask - Just another guide and phrases like "urgent" or "do reply" are just not necessary to get an answer

Choosing colours for text.

A friend of mine, who uses Windows, replies to my emails by inserting text coloured red, into my original message. It is a terrific idea, so I went looking for instructions on how to do it with Mac.
I'd also like to be able to highlight passages in new emails I write, by colouring the text.
I found a Mac. instruction entitled "Choosing colours for text and objects". Unfortunately, it suffers from the common Mac. problem of being written by a geek, who assumes that the reader knows what he knows and fails to adequately define the method and also fails to describe how it works. Here is the offending passage:
Select the text or object whose color you want to change and open the Colors panel.
"Select the text" is the bit where the writer failed.
* The method of selecting the text is not given.
* No insight is given as to how it works.
** Can a new email be set up so as to type it in red?
** Or is the method to type it, THEN change it to red?
** If the latter is the case, how can I reply as described above, by inserting passages into a received email?
** Also, how can I highlight a passage in a new email, by using red font?
I should be most grateful, if someone who understands how the system works, would teach me how to achieve what I have described above.
Incidentally and in fairness, the Colours panel part of the instruction is clearly written and I don't need any help with that.

"Select the text" is the bit where the writer failed.
The method of selecting the text is not given.
That's a standard OS thing... just click and drag over the text you want to select.
Double-click to select a word. Triple-click to select a paragraph.
Can a new email be set up so as to type it in red?
Or is the method to type it, THEN change it to red?
Again, this follows the standard UI rules, namely:
1) If there is something selected, change that (i.e. if you have some text selected and you choose red in the color palette, the selected text goes red.
2) If nothing is selected, use the chosen color from this point on (i.e. the next characters you type will be in the chosen color).
Note that color (and font) selections are position-dependent. That is if you type two paragraphs, then set the second one to red (by selecting it), the first one doesn't change. Additionally if you click back in the first paragraph you'll continue to type in the default font/color, not red, because that is what the first paragraph was written in. Hope that makes sense.

HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
event?
Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
End Sub

How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
thank you

There are a couple of ways of doing this:
If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

How do you keep the colors of an image true when you set it as a background?

I have an image with lines in it and a black blackground. When I set it as a background :
html {
    background: url(../Images/backgroundimage.jpg);
    background-repeat:auto;
    background-position:center top;
the black is a couple shades lighter so when I place a <div> with an <img>that is also mainly black on top of it, the top image is much darker than the background. I have no other css tags on the div other than a margin. The only difference in the images is I saved the background from photoshop and the image in the div from illustrator but I dont think that should have effected anything. Does anybody know anything about this because I am seriously stumped.
Thanks

We have been here before…
Firstly, Adobe' Photoshop has the ability to save a color profile with an image. That color profile will be consistent across all versions of Adobe software. Problem is, Adobe does not make web browsers (and that is probably a good thing).
When you save images for websites, you need to go through the proper Photoshop or Illustrator dialog. You want to Save for Web & Other Devices. Why? because the applications will take the image out of CMYK color space (if it is in that color space) and make it RGB. They will also try to translate the colors in a sensible way. When you use this dialog, you will see various options for JPG, including ICC Profile. Turning this on or off will change how the colors get mapped, and some experimentation to get best results is a good idea.
I have it turned off, presently.
The image will be set up for 72 dots per inch automatically, and you can, then, resize the image to optimize it for the website you are working on. If you are trying to fill a hole for an image that is 350 pixels wide by 250 tall, don't save the image as 1125 wide by 1024 high. That will take a long time to download from your server to whatever device is displaying it. Your original image will not be changed and you can navigate your path to your defined website's images folder.
This should help you immeasurably. I should mention that If I am trying to match a background exactly, I will tend to knock out that color from the image, save the image as a .PNG file with transparency (where that particular color is) and place the image on the background in question with the background color I am trying to match on the website.

How to change the colour of text property in Radio button?

Hello All,
I am having some radio buttons in my application. i want to change the colour of text property by default it is black.
Could any one please suggest me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

Numeric text background color on a numeric element of a cluster.

How does one change the numeric text background color (NumText.BGColor property) on a numeric element of a cluster?
I see the property when a numeric is standalone, but don't see it when it is inside a cluster.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, all array elements share the same properties. Only values can be different.
One solution would be to add a flat colorbox as additional cluster element and place in in the background. Now change the color as desired.
