Slideshow background color, way ugly

Hello,
Way back, when Lightroom still was a beta product I downloaded a copy and
played with it for a while. Then I decided to use it, so I bought a copy of
ver 1.0, went through all updates and now as everybody else I am on 1.41.
My problem is that one of my early experiments with beta still haunts me.
Playing with the Slideshow I created a background, a way ugly background.
And now, years and thousands of photographs later I can not get rid of it.
No matter what I do, if I open LR, select some pictures and hit instant
slideshow my background is still with me.
Yes, I can go the Slideshow panel, unclick the background and everything is
fine. But I have no idea how to save a new setting as a new default.
Maybe I just don't know where to look, but I think I exhausted all the menu
items and mouse clicks.

No. But you can if you use some of the 3rd party slideshow applications. One, PhotoPresenter, can change it as well as offering over 25 animated themes. At $8 it's a bargain.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto slideshow background color

Is there a way to change the background color in a Slideshow on iPhoto? It is currently black, and I would much rather have white.
Thank you!

Slideshow background color

Can I change the background color (from black) for a slideshow created in iPhoto '11 ? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I purchase Aperture (where that option is available).
Thanks

Erik,
Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
Can't change it.

IDVD Slideshow Background color change

I am working on a project where i have a slideshow that i want to have on my DVD. I have looked at all of the settings for iDVD and i have not see how to change the black default color of the background for the slideshow images. I would like to make it white vs black. I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto and the some situation is there, no preference to change the slideshow's bg color. Is there anyone that had or knows how to change this preference. Thanks

Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK. IPad 4 ios 7

As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Vancouver22 Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
Thanks!

Right way to change datagrid row, column, cells background colors in code-behind?

Hi all,
I have a winform program that I'm upgrading to wpf (I'm new to wpf). The wpf code for the function (SetdataGridBackgroundColors()) is below with the winform code commented out so I can fix it. I have a datagrid with a Cornsilk background color alteranating
with LightGreen depending on the content of datetime cell. If the day portion of the datetime is different then the color changes from one to the other. I used a colorIndex variable because at the end of the month it could go from 31 to 1 and that would
not work if I use the day directly.
I tried this line to change the background color:
optionsDataDatagrid.RowBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
this works but it changes every row. I found this other stuff:
DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) as DataGridRow;
//DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i]) as DataGridRow;
currentRowColor.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
Either ContainerFromIndex or ContainerFromItem throw an exception because currentRowColor is null. I looked at optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i] and is not null. Then I read that using ItemContainerGenerator is not a good idea.
BTW I'm calling SetdataGridBackgroundColors() after datagrid is been filled with data.
So... what is the proper way to set each row, column or cell background color in wpf?
Thanks
private void SetdataGridBackgroundColors()
optionRowData rowData = new optionRowData();
if (optionsDataDatagrid.Items.Count == 0)
return;
int colorIndex = 1;
DateTime savedDate, currentRowDate;
rowData = optionsDataDatagrid.Items[0] as optionRowData;
savedDate = rowData.col_datetime.Date; //only compare the date not the time
for (int i = 0; i < optionsDataDatagrid.Items.Count; i++)
//currentRowDate = Convert.ToDateTime(optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[3].Value); //winform code
//currentRowDate = currentRowDate.Date; //winform code
rowData = optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i] as optionRowData;
currentRowDate = rowData.col_datetime.Date;
if (currentRowDate != savedDate)
colorIndex++;
savedDate = currentRowDate;
if (colorIndex % 2 == 0)
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Cornsilk;
//------------------- testing new code --------------begin
optionsDataDatagrid.RowBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk); //this changes all rows
//DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) as DataGridRow;
//DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i]) as DataGridRow;
//currentRowColor.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
//------------------- testing new code --------------end
//optionsDataDatagrid.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSalmon;
//optionsDataDatagrid.Columns[5].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Aquamarine;
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[4].Style.ApplyStyle(optionsDataDataGridView.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle);
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[5].Style.ApplyStyle(optionsDataDataGridView.Columns[5].DefaultCellStyle);
else
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
//------------------- testing new code --------------begin
optionsDataDatagrid.RowBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightGreen); //this has no effect
//------------------- testing new code --------------end
//optionsDataDatagrid.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Coral;
//optionsDataDatagrid.Columns[5].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LimeGreen;
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[4].Style.ApplyStyle(optionsDataDataGridView.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle);
//optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[5].Style.ApplyStyle(optionsDataDataGridView.Columns[5].DefaultCellStyle);

I (also) strongly recommend mvvm.
Setting values is a particularly bad idea in this case.
I don't mean to be rude but your explanation of the requirement is kind of vague.
I would bind solidcolourbrushes.
Set the properties based on whatever your logic is within the viewmodel.
You can switch out what each of the brushes holds when the user clicks wherever.
So you use a highlightbrush when something or other is true.
That highlightbrush is set to a blue brush when the user clicks left and a red brush when they click right.

Is there any way to get the black background color back in fullscreen mode?

The current background color in fullscreen mode is grey and it's distracting. It used to be black. Is there a way to change the color outside of the document boundaries?

The only way you can get themes for your ipod is by a jailbrake, jailbraking is illegal, and yes,, you can downgrade your iOS.
Jailbreaking is actually not illegal due to exemptions in the DMCA documentation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#cite_note-22).
I've got no explanation on to why the trusty interface for the old iPod style app was butchered, unfortunately (I think we're all at a loss, besides someone being given too much free reign). I came here to supplement the original question with, another alternative question:
Is there a way, similar to downgrading 3rd party apps, downgrade the Music app or restore the old iPod app as an additonal app? Without jailbreaking?

"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

Is there any way to search CSS for a certain background color?

I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not. But I know a background color by using the pixie tool. I just don't know where the CSS Style sheet is for the button in question. Is there any way that I can do a search of CSS style sheets in a folder location
with the background I know is defined to the button? In this case "#D4D0C8".
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder?

Is There Any Way To Choose To Sort By Name and Pick a Background Color in Finder? I've noticed in Finder's View Options that I cannot choose to sort by name and have a background color in icon view. I've done a search in discussions and someone else mentioned this as well.

To sort by name.....
Open the finder window, then select the "change the item arragement" button. Choose name from the drop down.

Footer now floating in middle of page and no background color

Hello all,
Been working on this for days with no luck. I hope someone can spot the silly mistake, because I know it has to be something silly but it's driving me round the bend! The page has always been just fine until I recoded part of the body (the four columns with titles, photos, and text) to help with 508 compliance. Since then, the orange footer that was firmly at the bottom has started floating half way up the page and the background orange color has disappeared.
I've gone through my code line by line, marking off each beginning and ending div tag and everything is fine there. Below, is a screenshot of the lower half of the page showing how the footer should look.
Here is a screenshot of how it looks offline right now:
as you can hopefully see, the footer has lost it's orange background and is sitting halfway up the page.

What I found after taking out the heights from the text areas is that I was left with uneven text column lengths (alternating beige areas). So I created a repeatable jpg with the same alternating beiges and put it as the background of the bodyArea tag. Again, if there is a better way, please let me know!
A repeating background image to 'fake' equal height columns is perfectly ok.
It won't work IF your page is responsive but it isn't so no problem. If it were responsive a better solution would be to take advantage of the css property display: table; and display: table-cell;
In reference to your footer background color not showing I would assume you have floated items within the footer container. If so then you need to clear those floated items which allows the footer container to wrap itself around the floated items inside it.
You would do this by using css - overflow: hidden; - on the parent container which has the floats inside it.

Shatter theme background color

I love the shatter theme... Only problem with it is its whie background color. I use this to show slideshow on lcd's in bar and the white kind of lights up the place... way too much.
Is there any way at all to change this? Would be great to go from #ffffff to #000000..

No you can't edit the Slideshow themes.
There are other SIideshow apps that have a variety of themes. Check out PhotoPresenter for instance

Window Background Colors

I found an earlier post, but couldn't reply, so here goes...
When I select a background color for a view window in finder, it changes to a completely different (and often much uglier) color when I re-open Finder. I tried deleting the launch services cache files, but that didn't help at all.

The earlier post from Feb 2006 is here:

and describes the issue perfectly.
We had just tried deleting all .DS_Store files using Cocktail and deleting all finder .plist files but the problem returns as soon as you change a windows color.
Here's my post on the issue to another venue:
My wife's new MacBook Pro Core2Duo has begun playing with her an not in a good way.
On her previous G4 PowerBook she had set the colors of several of her Finder windows to be various pastel shades so they were easily distinguishable at a glance.
She did the same on her new MacBook Pro, but after she closed any of these windows the next time they were opened they were assorted eye-tearing shades of green, violet and magenta. She would reset each one to a pastel shade and the next time she opened it they were yet some different blazing color. She has given up and has set all to the default white.
I'm glad she had not set the backgrounds to be muted pictures of puppies and kittens - they would probably have re-opened as autopsy and roadkill photos.
She has had this machine for less than a week. It has all the Apple updates. Disk was verified as fine in Disk Utility and AppleJack cleaned its caches, checked prefs, re-prebinded (?) and repaired permissions but she still had these inconstant folders.
Seems unlikely to me that the .DS_Store file in every single folder she opens would get instantly corrupted.
