[SOLVED] nitrogen fails to set the background with openbox

Hi guys !
I have a strange issue . Yesterady everything was working fine . nitrogen would set my wallpaper at each boot . This morning for some reason nitrogen sets the background for about one second
and then it goes back to the default openbox background (the gray one) . I don't remember changing anything yesterday , i just added the multilib repository so i don't think this is an issue .
Here is my .xinitrc
nitrogen --restore &
xfce4-panel &
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
What i'm doing wrong ?

I've finally found the solution . Apparently i forgot to edit my autostart.sh file , so when i 've isntalled the xfce4-panel there was conlfict and the background was reset to the defaul .
After deleting the content of autostart.sh file and putting there the nitrogen and xfce4-panel commands and leaving the exec openbox-session at the .xinitrc file everything is fine

[SOLVED]urxvt can't set the background after using slim as DM

Yesterday, I changed lxdm to slim,and then everything went well,except urxvt.Though I think this should have nothing to do with the urxvt's problem.
urxvt only has a white background while my setting is 0000/0000/0000/cccc,even I attempted to comment all options relating to colors,but it doesn't work.until I remove the .Xresources file, urxvt has a black background.
I also attempted to start from startx and other ways, but it didn't work.I have a transparent black interface before,and now it is dazzling white.how could i can resume it.

To add to what sonoran posted above, you need to have xrdb load the settings in your ~/.Xresources. When you use a DE, there are quite a few things that it might do for you depending on the existence (or absence) of a give configuration file.
I have no idea what things are specific to each DE, but I know that the Slim login manager is extremely simple and lightweight and does very little (if anything) automagically for you. A good example of automagic coming from some of the display manager part of things is the locale settings. In particular, they implement their own ways of handling setting your keyboard layout and language. So going if you were to go from GDM to Slim, you would suddenly have the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d honored, whereas in GDM, you would either have to use gconf or use setxkbmap at some point.

Problem in setting the background color of jtable with Nimbus

Hi
I have created a java swing application. In which I am using JTable.
When creating a simple JTable and displaying with Nimbus, the row background color alternates between white and a light blue-grey.
I want the table with single colour. Only the first column should be grey colour and other should be white.
I used this code to set the background and foreground colour.
public Component prepareRenderer
    (TableCellRenderer renderer, int index_row, int index_col){
            Component objComponent = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, index_row, index_col);
            Color objGreyColour = new Color(240,240,240);
            Color objWhiteColour = new Color(255,255,255);
            if(index_col == 0){
                objComponent.setBackground(objGreyColour);
                objComponent.setFont(new java.awt.Font(CommonClass.getFontName(),java.awt.Font.BOLD, CommonClass.getFontSize()));
                objComponent.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
            }else{
                setSelectionBackground(Color.BLUE);
                objComponent.setBackground(objWhiteColour);
                objComponent.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
            return objComponent;
        } Look wise it is fine but when i try to select the cell it is not highlighting the cell and also i m not able to select multiple cell with ctrl key.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Sonal

Hello,
1) if you want better help soone,r please post an SSCCE (http://sscce.org) instead of a code extract.
2) selection highlighting is lost because your code... doesn't handle selection. To take selection into account, you can use <tt>if (super.isRowselected(index_row)) {...}</TT>.

Can I invoke a SubVI in an event? and how do I set the background color of a pipe to #0000ff?

When I click an image or a glass pipe(which belongs to Industry/Chesmitry category in palette), I want a SubVI to be invoked.
The purpose is to fetch an OPC-UA data from a web service and to write to it via the service.
We are building an HMI solution which displays an interactive water plant diagram.
When users click pipes and motors in the diagram, clicked devices should be turned on and off and change their animations or colors accordingly.
OPC-UA is for communication with devices.
I couldn't even set the background color of a pipe to "#0000ff", but setting it to "Red" or "Blue" was possible, and I don't know how to invoke SubVIs in event scripts.
The documentations in NI.com are confusing and lack depth.
Even silverlight references are confusing.
How do I do all of these?

Hi iCat,
Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?

Why does the eyedropper tool set the background color swatch instead of the foreground?

Whenever I try to use the eyedropper tool in Photoshop CS5, the eyedroper sets the background color instead of the foreground. I know you can swap the colors with the arrows, but Photoshop used to be able to just put the color in the foreground swatch without me doing any extra manual work. How do I restore it?

Click on Windows and color. There is a setting there to change from
foreground to background. The one with the box around it is the default setting.

Does Safari use up bandwidth if I leave it running in the background with zero tabs open? Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?

If I leave Safari running in the background with zero tabs open, does it still use up bandwidth? Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota? I'd rather not have to since quitting the application and restarting it when I need to will quickly become tedious, but if that saves me on bandwidth usage, I'll do it. Thanks!

The current build of iTunes may occasionally draw the scroll bar off the edge of the screen. It should be possible to resize the window to reveal the scroll bar.
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

How to use a scaled object(MC) to fill the background with the new properties

So lets say i have a stage 300 to 200 and all object that i have are for this dimensions.Also have an pattern function that fills the background.
But the user is thinking of resizing the stage to lets say 1024 to 480 (he switched from a phone to a tablet).And now the scale of the objects in the tablet screen are more than 3times before(when seen on the Phone)
How do i save the current new size object and use it in the creation of the new background (the 1024x480).
currently i have this :
public static const GAME_ORG_WIDTH:uint = 300;
public static const GAME_ORG_HEIGHT:uint = 200;
public function MainClass_road() {
                              addEventListener(Event.ADDED, init);
                    public function init(e:Event):void{
                               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                                 stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                                 stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                    public function setUpScreen(ev:Event):void{
                              stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                              if(stage.fullScreenHeight > stage.fullScreenWidth){
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenWidth;
                            gameStageHeight = stage.fullScreenHeight;
                              }else {
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenHeight;       // 480

                              rescaleRatio = gameStageWidth / GAME_ORG_WIDTH;
                              //rescale every object, ie:
                            myC.scaleX = myC.scaleY =   rescaleRatio;

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).
What happens when i load the applet the table is blank and displays the background color is gray which we want to be white.
We tried using the setBackGround but it is not working maybe we are not using it properly. Any help would be gr8.
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand very well, but i guess that the background is gray when the table content's empty, isn't it?
When the table model is empty, the JTable doesn't paint, so its container displays its background (often gray).
In this case, what you must do is force the table to paint, even if the model is empty. So, you have to create your own table and override three methods :
public class MyTable extends JTable
//specify the preferred and minum size when empty
myPreferredWidth = 200;
myPreferredHeigth =200;
myMinimunWidth = ...;
myMinimunHeigth = ...;
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
if(getModel().getRowCount() < 1)
return new Dimension(myPreferredWidth, myPreferredHeigth);
else
return super.getPreferredSize();
public Dimension getMinimumSize()
if( getModel().getRowCount() > 0)
return new Dimension(myMinimunWidth, myMinimunHeigth);
else
return super.getMinimumSize();
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
if (getModel().getRowCount<1 && isOpaque()) { //paint background
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
else super.paintComponent(g);
}

How do I set the background color of a page_item?

I've been pasting "background-color:#5CD65C" in a number of places, like "HTML Table Cell Attributes" under the Label and the Element tabs, but get no results. Can anyone tell me how to set the background color of a cell, please?

Hi Doug,
Dynamic Actions is an alternative also, especially if it is conditional.
Action Set Style
Fire When Event Result Is True
Style Name background-color
Value #5CD65C
Selection Type DOM Object
DOM Object your item name
Set your Condition Type and you have it.

if you are using Screen then you can call its setBackColor()
or if you are using Canvas then you can call
g.setColor(r,g,b);
g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth,getHieght);
where g is the Graphics instance of Canvas,for further information consult documentation
