Setting Specific Color for Outer Glows?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an outer glow around some text (which is black text) and the glow keeps showing up as yellow. I want it to be white (like a cloud). Is there some way to get it to do this? Or am I stuck with yellow (which I don't understand where the yellow is coming from - I have the foreground set to black and the background set to white). I'm using Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Mac...
Thanks so much for any help with this!
- Jacki

Jacki,
Why not do something as simple as this:
Add a blank layer above the text layer.
Set the foreground color to white.
Use the Brush tool with a soft brush to paint the glow, the Eraser tool with a soft brush to remove excess glow.
If the glow is too bright lower the layer's Opacity. You can also try applying a Gaussian blur to the glow to soften and expand it a bit.

Here i will get two outputs in same excel with different spread sheets,
now i want to set background color for headers i
ex:PARTY_ID,PARTY_NAME,AGENT_ID,TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE are the headers,in excel output i want background color as blue.
Please do need full help,its urgent req.

Hello,
open the file in Excel and save it, just to ensure that Excel writes all the additional stuff it thinks is necessary.
Now change the background colour of the header and save the file again but with a different name.
Open both files in a text editor and look at the differences. That's what you need to change in your code.
Alternatively you can use packages like xml_spreadsheet or ExcelDocumentType, both write the same file format that you use in your code and you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

How to define specific color for specific data in WebI?

Hi everybody,
I wonder how I could connect data shown in e.g. a vertical stacked bar chart to a specific color. The assignment of color in a chart is done by Webi automatically after pulling a a variable to a chart. Later on it is possible to change to color via the color palette. But how can I define a specific color for specific values of an attribute? (E.g. calue is Chicago -> color is blue; value is NY -> color is red.. etc ) Is it possible?
Does anybody know the trick?
Thanks in advance!

A quick way to set different color for certain items in JList?

is there a quick way of setting different color for certain items in JList?

Either use HTML strings as the values in your JList (quickest, but may not be the most convenient, especially if your model isn't just text), or create your own ListCellRenderer (e.g. extend DefaultListCellRenderer).
There is no such thing as "list.setItemForeground(int index, Color c)". You'll have to use one of the methods above.

Set different color for one JTree node

hello,
I managed to find how to set a color for Jtree nodes but the problem is that with my method all the nodes will b the same color whereas i'm looking to have nodes of different color depending on the situation.
the method for setting all Jtree nodes the same color(other than black):
tree.setCellRenderer(
new DefaultTreeCellRenderer() {
   public Color getTextNonSelectionColor() {
     return Color.lightGray; } });I WANT TO CHOSSE EACH COLOR FOR EACH NODE
help plz
thanks

You need to implement TreeCellRenderer interface
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                                              Object value,
                                              boolean sel,
                                              boolean expanded,
                                              boolean leaf,
                                              int row,
                                              boolean hasFocus)You can know which node is rendering by check value argument. Please read DefaultTreeCellRenderer's code.

How Can I set Specific RingTone for one person and general ringtone for all?

Hello All,
I have a problem with ringtone. I want to set specific ringtone for manager in my 99 series ip phone. Customer needs to know when manager calls him, that is why he told me that he wants to set specific ringtone for Manager.
Thanks a lot
Bahlul

Hi Bahlul,
I don't see such a feature on CUCM where you can have a separate ringtone for a Directory number based on the calling party number. Even to have separate ringtones for different lines on the same IP phone you need to play with Distinctiveringlist.xml , but that too does not fit your requirement as it will always be the same ringtone for all the calls on that line. You may probably get this feature through some third party solution but i am not sure if it would be worth it for applying it on one phone only.

Hi,
On the Chart Attributes page for the region, change the "Color Scheme" setting to Custom. Then, in the "Custom Colors" setting, enter the colours you want for all series, separated by a comma. For example:

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

How do I set default colors for XY chart series (lines and legend)

I am implementing a line chart and need to override the default (caspian style) colors for the line colors and the legend symbols. I'm not displaying the chart symbols themselves as that would make the chart look bad. I've been able to successfully set the default colors for the lines via the CSS below, but cannot find a way to do the same for the series symbols that appear in the chart legend. How do I do this? Thanks.
.default-color0.chart-series-line {
-fx-stroke: rgb(0, 102, 255);
.default-color1.chart-series-line {
-fx-stroke: rgb(0, 255, 102);
...Update:
Figured it out. Need to do the following:
.default-color0.chart-line-symbol {
-fx-background-color: rgb(R, G, B);
}Edited by: 998038 on May 16, 2013 4:09 PM

Here is some css to customize the line and legend colors in a line chart.
/** file: chart.css
    place in same directory as LineChartWithCustomColors.java */
.default-color0.chart-series-line {
-fx-stroke: rgb(0, 102, 255);
.default-color1.chart-series-line {
-fx-stroke: rgb(0, 255, 102);
.default-color0.chart-line-symbol {
-fx-background-color: rgb(0, 102, 255), white;
.default-color1.chart-line-symbol {
-fx-background-color: rgb(0, 255, 102), white;

Can I set default colors for generated shapes in Premiere Pro CC?

I'm working on some highlight video where I need to generate an ellipse on each clip to highlight a player. I'd like to use a yellow/yellow, 20% softness, 8 thickness ellipse each time, but by default PP gives me an ugly green/blue combination, and I have to change the inside/outside colors, softness and thickness each time I add a clip and generate an ellipse.
Is there a way to set a default inner/outer color, thickness, and softness setting for each new generated shape so that I don't have to keep repeating these steps?

If you are using the Title Designer to generate your ellipse, and if I understand what you want, the answer is yes.
Unless I am completely off-base, your default font style below the title has the colors of that ugly green/blue combo.
You can easily just set the ellipse the exact way you want it, and then go into the Font Styles menu and create a new font style. Give it a unique name like "Ellipse" and then drag that new style from the end up to the beginning of the list. (Upper left hand corner).
I created an ellipse using a greenish yellow, rather unattractive color for both the shape and the stroke. I used a higher opacity because it shows up better in the screen shot, but I could have set it for 20% easily enough. I then went to the styles menu, created a new style, gave it a name, then went to the last style and dragged it up to the top left where you see it now. You have to look close.
It is not particularly obvious that the shapes are based on the font style just as much as the text is.

Problem to set background color for configTable cell

Hi All,
I've a configTable displays some status fields, and I need to set yellow color when the status is in processing and green when finished and red when cancelled. I've searched the forum and decided to use iterator with method RENDER_CELL_START. Here are the steps that I've done.
Step 1: wrote a new class ZCL_ACTSTAT_ITERATOR implements interface IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR.
    this class has a private attribute ORDERS containing the search result internal table data, in the CONSTRUCTOR method I pass the search result to the attribute using the statement ME->ORDERS = ORDERS. Then in the method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START I check the p_column_key for the status fields and then get the status value and set p_style accordingly using the following statement:
CASE p_column_key.
    WHEN 'PREPAY_STATUS' OR 'DELVPLN_STATUS' OR 'DESIGN_STATUS'.
      READ TABLE me->orders INTO ls_order INDEX p_row_index.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT p_column_key OF STRUCTURE ls_order TO <col>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        wf_text = <col>.
      ENDIF.
      IF wf_text = '00' OR wf_text = 'Initial'.
*        concatenate '<font color=""red"">'
*         WF_TEXT '</font>' into html_str.
*        create object html_bee.
*        html_bee->add( html = html_str ).
*        p_replacement_bee = html_bee.        "not work either
        p_style = 'celldesign:STANDARD'.
      ELSEIF wf_text = '10' OR wf_text = 'InProcessing'.
        p_style = 'celldesign:GOODVALUE_MEDIUM'.
      ELSEIF wf_text = '20' OR wf_text = 'Finished'.
        p_style = 'celldesign:GOODVALUE_LIGHT'.
*        p_style = 'background-color:#92D050'.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Step 2: In the component controller ZL_ZACT_MYO_ORDERS_IMPL, create a public attribute GV_ITERATOR type ref to the class created in step 1 (ZCL_ACTSTAT_ITERATOR), then in the controller's DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method, get the combined context data and convert them into internal table LT_ORDERS, then create the iterator GV_ITERATOR passing LT_ORDERS, after this step, the result data can be transfered into iterator class and then be used in the RENDER_CELL_START method.
The DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method is like bellow:
lr_pro ?= me->typed_context->order->collection_wrapper->get_first( ).
    WHILE lr_pro is BOUND.
      lr_pro->get_properties( IMPORTING es_attributes = ls_order ).
      if ls_order is not initial.
        append ls_order to lt_order.
      endif.
      lr_pro ?= me->typed_context->order->collection_wrapper->GET_next( ).
    ENDWHILE.
    CREATE OBJECT lc_iterator
      EXPORTING
        orders = lt_order.
    me->GV_iterator = lc_iterator.
Step 3: in the .htm page, point iterator to controller's iterator
<chtmlb:configTable id                    = "Table1"
                    table                 = "//ORDER/Table"
                    iterator              = "<%= controller->GV_ITERATOR %>"
                     />
Step 4: in the GET method of status attributes in context node ORDER, do the translation to change the status code into status description
METHOD GET_PREPAY_STATUS
    DATA: OLD_VALUE TYPE ZACT_STATU,
          LS_STATUS TYPE ZACT_STATUS_S.
    OLD_VALUE = VALUE.
    READ TABLE GT_STATUS INTO LS_STATUS WITH KEY STATUS = OLD_VALUE.
    "Get status description from field domain definition
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      VALUE = LS_STATUS-NAME.           "Show status description
    ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
I thought I could see the status fields change their styles for different status code. But it still refuse to work, although I can debug to see that p_style really set as I expect, so I think there must have something wrong after RENDER_CELL_START, but what is it?
Could anyone please help me sort it out or point out what's missing there or guide me the correct steps? Any post is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Jeff

How to set background color for a JFrame

Hi,
i am new to swing programming. I have created a JFrame called framehelp and i placed some labels in the frame.
I have set the background color as yellow for the frame ie by setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 204));
But after compiling the program i am still getting the background color of frame as gray.
How can i change the background color of frame as lightish yellow.
I have used NETBEANS to generate this code and i am posting the code..
Kindly help me

1. When you post code, post a minimal example. Did we have to scroll through
all those bloody labels.
2. Can't say much for the quality of code NetBeans generates.
3. To answer your question (sorry, I don't have an autographed copy of the photo):
