Style JSlider

Hi!
I'm about to style a JSlider. It's not enough to change a few parameters, I mean really style with images.
What is the best way to do that? I did try to create a subclass of JSlider and in that override the paint method and paint the slider with images. That works, but, not well. For example when I drag, the slider knob gets stuck at some places, which looks really weird. But as soon as I release the mouse button, the slider updates itself and looks well again.
I also considered creating my own look and feel by extending SliderUI.
How would you go about this problem?
Thanks!

Using a JSlider to change JLabel background

I have set up a JSlider to change the opacity of a JLabel's background. I have found that the only way to make the change take effect, is to toggle the visibility of the JLabel in the stateChanged method. Why is this? Shouldn't just setting the JLabel background to a new color work? Try running this with and without the last couple lines in stateChanged:
package slidertest;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;
public class Main extends JFrame {
    private static Main instance = new Main();
    private JLabel colorLabel = new JLabel(" ");
    public Main(){
        colorLabel.setOpaque(true);
        colorLabel.setBackground(Color.green);
        JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        mainPanel.add(colorLabel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        mainPanel.add(createOpacityColorSlider(colorLabel), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        this.add(mainPanel);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       instance.setSize(200,200);
       instance.setVisible(true);
    static final int ALPHA_MIN = 0;
    static final int ALPHA_MAX = 255;
     * @param style
     * @param colorLabel
     * @return
    private JSlider createOpacityColorSlider( final JLabel colorLabel ){
        JSlider opacitySlider = new JSlider(SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL,
                ALPHA_MIN, ALPHA_MAX, colorLabel.getBackground().getAlpha() );
//      Turn on labels at major tick marks.
        opacitySlider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
        opacitySlider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);
        opacitySlider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener(){
          public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
                            JSlider source = (JSlider)e.getSource();
                                int alpha = source.getValue();
                                Color newColor = new Color(colorLabel.getBackground().getRed(), colorLabel.getBackground().getGreen(), colorLabel.getBackground().getBlue(), alpha);
                                colorLabel.setBackground(newColor);
                                //will not work without doing this:
                                colorLabel.setVisible(false);
                                colorLabel.setVisible(true);
        return opacitySlider;
}-Eric

   //will not work without doing this:
                                colorLabel.setVisible(false);
                                colorLabel.setVisible(true);have you tried in stead of those lines putting in this
colorLabel.repaint();
that line tells the button that somthing has changed and needs to re draw its self

g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
Please Help
Thx.

You need to change your xml to bind to "SliderThumb", rather than "Slider":
change
<bind style="cosSlider" type="region" key="Slider"/>
to
<bind style="cosSlider" type="region" key="SliderThumb"/>

How do I use multiple paragraph styles in one line?

I'm working on my thesis in APA style. I'm creating a Table of Contents with the help of Pages. When you get to Level 3 in APA headings (no problems with Levels 1 and 2) it needs to look like this:
[0.5in Indent] Masculinities in higher education. For men, the college experience.... (paragraph starts on same line as the heading).
I created a paragraph style for the (bolded) heading above [Heading 3]. When I do this, like magic the heading shows up in the table of contents (yeah!). However when I do this the rest of the paragraph shows up too (boo!). When I highlight to change the just rest of the paragraph (not the heading) to the style "Body" it changes the heading too and removes it from the table of contents. How can I make 2 paragraph styles work together in the same paragraph so I can use the tale of contents tool?? Surly there is a work-around.
Pages 5

As the name implies, paragraph styles are not intended to be used on a unit smaller than a paragraph. Therefore if you want the TOC to be automatically generated then you need to have distinct paragraphs... as you specify the APA style with the content and heading continuous then you will have to manually create the TOC.

Is there a way to create, save, and access new styles in Mail?

I'm curious if there's some magical way to add styles to the choices offered in Mail. I've hunted through Mail's Help program, and found nothing. Nothing intuitive under the Styles... menu option, either. The Document Styles seem to be Lucida Grande (ick) 13 pt and nothing else (despite arrows that look as though they're designed to shuffle through potential styles); Favorite styles give me Default, Bold, Courier Double Spaced, Italic, Outlined, and Shadowed, none of which is really very helpful at all.
I would like to have easily accessible styles that are, say, 18 point (1.5) line spacing; different fonts, etc. Perhaps this is more a stationery question...but then that seems to beg the question of why have an unintuitive "Styles" option at all.
Clueless seeking clues here.

Hello,
You can try to use the default Matching Question slide where dragging is possible.
If you want more functionalities, have a look at the interactive Drag&Drop widget by InfoSemantics (my fav) or the Dag&Drop Lite Question widget:

Ical iOS Lion, month preview / change style

Hi,
I am wondering how to display the preview of the months to come in the left side of the new iCal, like it was possible before in weekly view.
I really miss this functionality, as I need to have a good idea of the months to come to manage many of my events.
Anyway to display it?
As a side note, I would really like to change the style of the new iCal as I don't like the leather effect. Let me know if this is possible.
Many thanks

I am in total agreement on EVERYTHING you said. I don't know if it is the designer in my, but I couldn't stomach the faux leather look at all. I changed that using this tutorial! Super easy and well worth it.
http://www.simpleandusable.com/news/how-to-remove-the-faux-leather-in-ical-for-o s-x-lion.html
However, I really want teh previous months preivews and can't figure that out! I am really bummed they changed this feature!!

How to show more than one record at a form-like style report?

Hi All,
I developed a form-like style report
I want it to show more than one record at once (At the same page)
I tried that by setting the value to "Maximum records per page" property for the repeating frame to 10
but when I close the property palete and open it agian the value is returned to 1 !!!
how to show more than one record at the same page?????
Thank u

Hi,
there's perhaps another property like "page protect". If than 2 records didn't fit at one page there's a page break. Or is there any object inside the repeating frame with page-break properties? Sorry .. it's like looking into a chrystal ball ...

Creative Zen Style M300. My story.

Hello to all,
The following is a list of features that, in my humble opinion, every decent MP3 reader must have:
1) Must be SMALL. Images and video must be avoided because they increase screen size: MP3 reader is for playing music, I use it during jogging and I need to hold it in a single hand. If I want to see images and videos I use my smartphone.
2) Must have a great capacity even if you play only music. I usually buy 8 GB players and expand it with 16 GB SDHC card. 24 Gb is enough for me.
3) Must have a battery duration of, at least, 15 hours.
4) Must have a processor fast enough to have a good response time.
5) MUST support browsing by folder.
6) Must have FM radio.
7) Buttons must be responsive and placed in right places in order to be easily accessible with a single hand.
8) The output must be sufficiently loud.
9) Must support MP3 and WMA.
10) Must have a good SNR.
One year ago the only player that fits all these requirements was Sansa Clip Plus. A very well designed MP3 reader (in terms of features). BUT, my first Sansa Clip Plus battery dead after 6 months. At the time no other valid alternative exists... so I buy a second Sansa Clip Plus. After some months, it stop to works with apparently no reason. How sad. Look like that battery and/or power system of Sansa Clip Plus is very poor. So I have tried to find a valid alternative. I have tried the Creative Zen Style M300. But it lacks some important features. Referring to the previous list:
1) The size is acceptable.
2) OK
3) OK
4) Not fast and responsive as the Sansa Clip Plus but could be accepted (Sansa Clip Plus is very very fast).
5) This feature is absent and IMHO is a totally wrong decision. I have tons of MP3 organized in folders and now I have to reorganize they differently. In addition the reader come with no software and I don't know how to edit ID3 tag.
6) OK
7) Touch buttons are a really bad choice for a MP3 reader. They are not very responsive and badly located (hard to be handled by a single hand). To be more comfortable the volume buttons should be placed on the left side (usually managed by forefinger and middle finger of the right hand).
8) Volume is poor. Equalizer have no effect if your volume is near the maximum level (31), because the output power is limited. Look like Creative limit power for European models. Sansa Clip Plus also limit power, but you can choose your country in the configuration menu and if you select a country outside Europe, you can overcome that problem.
9) OK
10) OK
I wish to report my experiences hoping that Creative designers can read it.

Hi,
Most music (classical) is from ripped CD's, some albums from eMusic. If needed I use Mp3tag.
The problem is that the pics seem to show up or not at random. It's not a big deal really, just odd.
I don't have this problem with my Zen X-Fi 2. Only problem there is pics for .flac files.

Error while deploying, Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

Hi,
I have deployed Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 successfuly (with the help of http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ ).
Now when we're moving RPD, Catalog & Custom Style Skin from OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7, I could deploy RPD & Catalog but am not able to deploy Custom Style & Skin Folders.
If you are aware of the process of deploying Custom Style & Skins (as mentioned in the link above), it requies:
1. Custom Style & Skins folder to be Deploy using Weblogic Console.
2. Making necessary changes in instanceconfig.xml (to point to the deployed folder) ---- this is where it's failing.
When I do add necessary tags ( <URL> & <UI>) in instanceconfig.xml and restart Services. Presentation Services dosen't come up. Error message that is in log file is:
In element URL: Can not have element children within a simple content.
unknown element 'UI'
Element 'UI' is not valid for content model : 'All(URL, SocketTimeoutSec,FileSizeMB)'
Any pointers?
Regards,
Jitendra

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

I'm trying to install a layer style (.asl) in photoshop cc 2014 and I get the error message 'Could not place the document 'filename.asl' because no parser or file format can open the file.' Any suggestions?

I get the same error when trying the same thing with the default styles, so it's not the file.

So, if you click on one on of the layer style sets already on the list, such as Text Effects 2, you get the same message?
Which version of mac os x are you using?
Did you upgrade your mac os with photoshop cc 2014 already installed?
Do you have the lastest version of photoshop cc 2014, which should be 2014.2.1
(listed at the top of Help>System Info from within photoshop)
Do you see the same layer styles as shown above on your list?
Have you moved/copied any plugins from an earlier version of photoshop to the photoshop cc 2014 plugins folder?
The layer styles shown on the list above are the styles that ship with cc 2014 and should be in
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Presets/Styles
(the mac applications folder where all the other mac applications are installed)
You might try resetting the preferences, but you might need to uninstall photoshop cc 2014 and then reinstall.
(don't drag the cc 2014 to the trash, but use the Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 in the photoshop cc 2014 application folder)
To reset the preferences
Press and hold down the Shift+Command+Option keys while starting photoshop cc 2014
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes

Working with Character Styles in Photoshop CC

Hi,
I upgraded to Photoshop CC and was quite excited about the Character Styles Panel. But now, I'm completely puzzled.
It almost looks like Adobe didn't finish the feature before shipping 14.1.2
1. I can't reorder the character list? Why use a different list implementation than that for "Layer Comps?"
2. I want to copy and paste a character style from one selection to another (Basically the workflow from Apple Keynote). It should be possible with character styles, but it just didn't work:
- I select a formatted text section
   - I press "New Character Style icon"
   - I double-click the new style -> The font-size in the style differs from the font-size of the orginal selection?!
   - I'm pretty sure it has to do with style of the original text not being directly overwritten from "None", but there is no feature to "bake" style-formatting either.
3. I can't remove and restyle the Character-Style "None". But when I accidently assign "None", it is defined as 12px Arial Black . So the default-style HAS a style definition and should therefore be editable like the other character styles.
I'm completely blow away how non-intuitive the whole process is. I never had problems to understand character styles in InDesign, Pages, Word and Illustrator. But in Photoshop is either completely broken or non-intuitive.
Just my two cents.

Your sure your using photoshop cc on windows vista?
I was under the impression that photoshop cc would not even install on windows vista.
What version of camera raw do you have?
In photoshop under Help>About Plugin does it list Camera Raw and if so which version is it?
(click on the words Camera Raw to see the version)
Camera raw doesn't work if it's a camera raw file or some other file type such as jpeg or tif?
What camera are the camera raw files from?
Officially camera raw 8.3 is the latest version of camera raw that will work on windows vista.

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.
