Slideshow Background

Hello all,
   I'm wondering if anyone would know how to change the background colour of a flash slide-show. I am trying to post a slide-show on a website, but some of the pictures do not fit the box well and, as a result, there are black bars surround them. Is there a way that I can change the background colour so that it blends with the background colour of the website?
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks,
        Greg

If it is truly the background color of the Flash file, you should be able to specify that in the html embedding code. Just look for the bgcolor parameter in the html code that embeds the Flash file and change it to match the web page color.
IF it is not the actual background of the file, but is some kind of graphic within the file, then you'dneed to edit the Flash file.

How do I create a mobile version of a site that is based on scroll effects and a slideshow background?

I need to create a mobile version for a site that is based on scroll effects and a slideshow background.
Is it possible to copy the format from the desktop version without re-designing all the elements?

Hi
Different renditions will use require the page elements to be optimized accordingly.
So you can surely copy the page elements and paste in phone or tablet layout , but you would need to modify them.

Slideshow background music

thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Some people have had mixed results, and if you've customized one album this process won't change it, but you should be able to select your entire iTunes library:
...and then press the "Play" button. The dialog that comes up will let you choose some different default music.

Since the ipad has dynamic moving backgrounds isn't it possible to have a slideshow background?

IIt should be possible to have a slide show background since Apple does support the format so I think if we somehow can find the format they used and chge a slideshow to that format we should be able to make slideshow backgrounds? I hope.

Hey Boxman, I'm guessing lack of interest. Think about it, once the novelty wears thin, just how much time would or do you really spend looking at your home page? Me personally, just enough to find the app I need and push the button. Besides, isn't the battery life on your iPod short enough for you? Dynamic backgrounds are one of the first things you turn off to conserve battery life! That said, it would be kinda cool, for a little while anyway. Like Stevejobsfan0123 stated go to Contact Us>Feedback, and tell Apple your opinion. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I am working on a project where i have a slideshow that i want to have on my DVD.

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

Reader 9 and X won't play slideshow background music

I have been using Reader 8 satisfactorily, for years, to play slideshows I have made, over many years, using Adobe Album 2.0... admittedly an old program... perhaps 10 years old. Typically I have installed background music in my slideshows. Reader 8 never hesitates to play the slideshows and the music, like a champ.
Two years ago I installed Reader 9 and had to reverse that installation back to version 8, because Reader 9 wouldn't play the background music.
Today I installed Reader X, in the hope that it would play the background music, but this was not the case.
I have verified the presence of Quicktime n my computer, and changed preferences in Reader X to play sounds using Quicktime. I checked a box that was unchecked, that says to play embedded music. (Adobe Reader X, Edit, Preferences, Multimedia (Legacy)).
Can anyone vouch for Adobe Reader X's abilty to play slideshow music?
Any help appreciated. I'd like to adopt Reader X, but I also want my music to play. Can I re-compile those slideshows, somehow?

Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x has been broken the whole time. It used to work fine in Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger). Front Row will not play an iTunes playlist during a slideshow if the playlist contains more than one song. You can use a playlist that only has one song in it, but then you might as well just choose a single song instead of a playlist! I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback:

For what it's worth, iPhoto seems to work fine with slideshows and iTunes playlists with more than one song.

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!

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.

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.

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

Slideshow background: how to add a vignette?

I like the background on the slideshow preset called "Photo Edges", it's 95% gray in the middle and then it has darker colors, like a vignette. Even if you change the background color you're only changing the colors in the middle, the corners remain darker.
I'd like that for the Classic slideshow as well, where I have more control over the slideshow compared to what "Photo Edges" offers me, but I can only find out how to change the background color and not add a vignette or darken the corners.
Any ideas?

Have you looked at Document -> Add watermarks & background... ?
If you want to do it automatically, it's possible to set this up using the batch processing command, same thing, the command is "Add watermarks & background".
It's probably possible using JavaScript as well, but, there's really no need if the "add watermarks and background" works for you.

Slideshow background auto-fill's with other images?

Hi all,
I am making a slideshow in iDVD, and some of the images have background of other images... It seems to auto-fill and it looks terrible! It's sometimes on the sides and other times at the bottom, like in my example. I thought perhaps it would burn without it, but no such luck. I am using iDVD 6 also....
Any guidance would be much appreciated <3 (*see photo attached)

Hi George
The URL prompts are coming from your Bookmarks, Cache and History files. If MacRumors appears in one or more of those files, it ought to appear in the prompts.

Slideshow Background Music Adjusting Slide Where Music Starts?

I've been trying to make a slideshow with music attached and can't find a solution to this problem anywhere. The problem is as follows. I have imported all my pictures and I've imported 5 music tracks, everything okay so far. However, I want to start the music tracks from slide 6, I want the first few to be silent. So, I pin the start of the first music track to slide 6. The problem is part of the second music track now automatically places itself over slides 1 to 5 and whatever I do I can't stop it doing this! All I want is for the 5 tracks to play in sequence but starting on slide 6. I hope someone can help me, it must be an easy solution, but I can't find it. Thanks, David.

Wouldn't it make sense that if you have a number of tracks and drag the start of the first one, that all tracks would move back accordingly and stay in order? Why would you want the gap filled automatically by one of the later tracks, I don't get it? Is there perhaps an automatic setting that causes this strange behavior and that I can switch off?

Change background colour of full screen slideshow when set to fit content proportionally

I've signed up for a demo of Muse and must say I'm very impressed. Having used Dreamweaver in the past at Uni, often getting bogged down in code, Muse is a designers dream. I've even told some friends about it, describing it as "InDesign for web designers". The features, and tutorials on Adobes site, are fab however I'm now needing a bit of assistance.
I'd like several images to fit the whole screen on a specific section of my Muse website, right under the navigation bar. I've noticed the easiest way to do this is create a full screen slideshow. With this option I can add one, or multiple, pictures to fade in and out - communicating various messages and selling points. By default the widget options are set to Fill Frame, which expands my graphic to completely fill the browser. Unfortunately with this selected the image loses some quality and seems to zoom in, getting cropped in the process. When changing the settings to Fit Content Proportionally everything looks great. The graphic is smack bang right under my navigation like I desire however there is also a ghastly grey box either side because the graphic is now it's original size. The grey on either side seems to be the slideshow background colour but I am unable to figure out a way to alter this - from grey to black. Please see the link for more info: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50403221/Screen%20Shot%202014-08-14%20at%2018.00.34.pn g
Would any fellow Musers know of a way to get round this? Or perhaps should this be an enhancement request?
Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Can you select the slideshow widget that you have added and check the fill color in control panel.
Please refer to the following screenshot :

Is there any good Linux software to show slideshows, videos and more?

Hi.
We are trying to replace windows and apple on all computers in our church. Now, I know we will most likely hang on to some of our macs for video editing purposes, but we have identified several computers that runs Windows that can easily use Linux.
We have come across one nut that we have yet to solve, and I would hope that someone would have some input on how to do this.
In the lobby, we have a windows computer hooked up to a tv. On the screen we are showing Slideshows with information on upcoming events, videos from meetings, twitter and also a list of all the Buses leaving from the nearby bus stop. The latter one is hooked to "Västtrafiks" (our local bus company) API, and update in real time.
All this is very easily done in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). Since there is no support in mono for this yet, we are looking to replace the application all together. However, we can't seem to find a suitable replacement. We have all been looking for a while, and we are starting to think that we may have to write our own program in Java.
Now, this would be a huge time sink, so I hope that some of you might have some insight about a software that could fulfill our needs.
The basic requirements are Image slideshow, background Music, Video slideshow, twitter feed, and perhaps rss feed integration. Now, the ability to show Västtrafiks time table would be neat, but I think we can hack that ourselves if we find a suitable open source solution for the rest.
I am going to try to get a video on what it looks like today, to get a better understanding about what it is.

I have some questions: How is the formatting on this? I mean, is the slideshow, video(s), feeds and such all on screen at one time like an American cable newscast?
Yes, if I understand you correct.
A bit more information. Today we use a Dropbox folder to add media, like videos and images etc. After every loop that the software has made it stops to check if the folder has any new files. If it has, it automatically includes it in the feed, as well as deletes any media that has been removed from the folder. So everything is managed by uploading to the folder from anywhere, the box itself is headless and is only running this single output.
Today we only show the output on one single screen. But it may be interesting to do this over several screens in the future.
We could use openshot and manually edit the feed etc, but that takes away the ease of use. The idea is that anyone with something to say should be able to upload it without any tech skills. Right now, we are thinking about porting the functionality to Java, however I think that this would be at least 50 work hours to get it functional.

No background color edges behind image on resize

hi,
I am making a slideshow background which adjusts to the width of the browser. However, whenever I resize the browser, the background color is visible for a moment along the edges. How can I get rid of this. I know that it is possible. If you look at the following site, the images resize perfectly:
