Setting picture as background

Can I use an image file as background in JFrame?
(i.e) Instead of painting with single color, can I set an image ?

Definitely.
1. Load the image into an Image
2. Create a JPanel, override it's paintComponent method, and call g.drawImage
3. call Frame.setContentPane with your panel with the background

How can i set picture as background using JPanel

hello can you kindly tell me how i can set picture as the background of my jpanel instead of using set
setBackground(Color.bule)

you can use a JLayeredPane ; put a JPanel containing a JLabel based on an ImageIcon on the lowest layer of your JLayeredPane
then, use upper layers to add components
edit: another possibility is to override the "paint()" method of your JPanel container, and use drawImage() to paint the picture as a background

How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.

AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

I want put a picture on background of JFrame

Hello, I�m using the JDK 5 ( with Windows), and I dev in a NetBeans.
I would like to know?
How Can I put the picture on background of JFrame?
Or which component I use to show picture?

A simple way would be to subclass a JPanel, override it's paintComponent method to display your image and set the panel as the frame's content pane. Take a look at
JFrame#setContentPane(Component)
JPanel#paintComponent(Graphics)
and perhapt ImageIO.read(...) for loading the image.

[ANSWERED]Which terminals let you set a random background image?

Many terminals nowadays let you set a background image on the terminal itself.
Which terminals let you set a random background image from a directory or list of images? Also need to be able to have multiple terminals with different background images open, so having a script that moves around images won't work.
I like this because when you have lots of terminals open, you can associate each with their background image. Also if your background image isn't a tiled thing or a stylized gradient (such as a human, etc), it might look bad when duplicated all over the screen.
I could use transparency, but I don't like psuedo transparency, and real transparency comes with all sorts of problems. (For me at least.) I would still prefer having multiple background images though.
Konsole and eterm are the only two I know that can do this, but konsole is KDE, and eterm has no unicode support, is dead (I think), and is ugly.

So now that time has passed and I'm on a clean new install, I decided to try out uxvrt again. The good news in that now I can type in it with scim. I have no clue how or why, but it means the greatest hurdle is gone.
I also even managed to get a good looking English font.
urxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12
Only problem is a readable east asian font. The default font is a mess and everything is squished together. If I explicitly select an east asian font, then there are huge spaces between each letter, even for english. So I find out this is a known bug, and I find a patched aur package for it, but the patch doesn't seem to make a difference.
I know urxvt lets you select a main font and a secondary font and so on. Maybe I did the syntax wrong. I tried both:
urxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=16
urxvt*font: xft:WenQuanYi Zen Hei:size=9:antialias=True
and
urxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=16,urxvt*font: xft:WenQuanYi Zen Hei:size=9:antialias=True
Neither of them worked. From what my understanding of what the man page says, the size of the cell is supposed to be based on the main font, but in both those cases the secondary font stretches the cells.
Can anybody reccomend fonts for east asian scripts that work well and show me your .Xdefaults ?
FAKE EDIT: I just thought of an idea, and it kinda works:
urxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=16,xft:WenQuanYi Zen Hei:size=9:antialias=True
Now I get a readable font, but massive spacing issues between Chinese Characters.
EDIT: About the pixmaps, I got a script to randomly select and image and all is fine, but I can't seem to find a way to disable scaling. I can set the size of the picture by a percent, but it doesn't let me use decimals and it is impossible to get the exact resolution of the picture to display. (Unless I let it tile, but the pictures I am using aren't meant to be tiled.) Is there a way to either disable scaling, or set the urxvt size in pixels so I could make it exactly 640x480. The urxvt man page says that a scale of 1 disables scaling, but it seems to have no effect.
EDIT2: I just noticed I can't use scim now. I have no clue why, but I think compiling it with afterimage support breaks it.
EDIT3: I found out why scim was not working/working. I had to add this to my ~/.scim/global:
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_CA.UTF-8
I also got a script that works, kinda:
#!/bin/bash
image="$(ls /usr/local/share/cgs | sort -R | tail -1)"
urxvt -pixmap /usr/local/share/cgs/$image\;86x100
The only problem is that I don't know how to get urxvt -pixmap to keep the aspect ratio of the image. 86x100 is the closest it will let me get to the actual aspect ratio, but it is off slightly. Barely noticable. The man page says that propscale will do this, but it doesn't seem to work.
Either way, for now, I am just going to use 86x100.

To Change the Backdrop
1. Run xv (version 3.10 or later) on any desired image.
2. Save the file as "XPM". Rename the file from <>.xpm to <>.pm.
3. Edit the file /opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/dtsession/Dtwm and change
the two backdrop lines to the full pathname of the <>.pm file.
You can also place the <>.pm file in /usr/dt/share/backdrops and then
refer to it by <> in the Dtwm file.

i would like to set the color of entire line.
thank you

Hi Jim,
create a visual_attribute named e.g. PQR and set the desired background color.
In post-query trigger:
declare
     currec number := Get_block_property('block1', current_record);
begin
if "condition" then
     set_item_instance_property('item1',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
     set_item_instance_property('item2',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
     set_item_instance_property('item3',     currec,visual_attribute,'PQR');
end if;
end;
Good luck,
Monica

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

Set all TextField background color

I searched the help and online for how to accomplish this and
came up with the following code. It would seem to me that there is
a more straight forward way but this is the best I could manage.
Any suggestions on how improve this. Also I could not get the 'for
in' or 'for each in' to work, the loop would not iterate when
applied to the page_mc.

Hi,
You can set this in the Border palette.
You might also want to set a white background for the value area (in the Object > Field palette) and zero margins in the Layout palette.
Hope that helps,

Setting a default background color

Hi All,
I would like to set a default background color for all the
components that I'm going to draw. What is the best
way to achieve this?
Thanks.

You can set using UIManager of the Look and Feel.
UIManger.put("Button.background", Color.blue);
will set the color of all the JButtons to blue. Like that you can change for all the components you need.

HT4356 My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc

My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc. At the moment from the photos app it prints an A6 photo in top left corner. How do I change that to something different.

If you put photo paper in the printer it will print correctly on the paper. Also, some photo printers will adjust the size photo printed when you put different size photo paper in the tray.

Welcome to the list. Make sure you read the [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] section when you get a chance.
No its not possible. You'll need something like Gimp or PS for that.
