Tab Canvas - Background Colour

Hello,
I'm building a form which has a tab canvas using Forms 6i. In my application Im using Oracle Look and Feel and the BLUE Colour Scheme. The background colour in the bar with the tabs is shown as grey, I would prefer it to be blue (that matching the shade of blue in colorScheme=Blue). I have tried setting the background colour of the tab canvas using the colour palette but am unable to find a matching shade of blue. Does anybody now the colour code to use?
Thanks
MATT

Unselected Tab Text / background colour

Hi all,
I have a PS6.0 installation, using JSPTabContainer.
The docs tell me how to change the background colour for the selected tab, but not the unselected tab.
I assume it is a default value sourced from somewhere, but I don't know where.
Any hints?
(ps. I'm a little new to this)

/etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/JSPTabContainer/
The jsp templates in this folder will give you a clearer
picture of what is going on at the runtime...
For your problem see tab.jsp (and tabs.jsp )
Cheers,
Alex :-)

Changing prompt colour in oracle forms 6i to canvas background (solution)

One of the really infuriating things about Oracle Forms 6i (and possibly other versions) is that when you set a visual attribute for a item the prompt, as well ad field, takes that background colour. Seing it is common to have the field background white and the canvas background gray this is a paid. The following procedure sets the background colour for all prompts to the background colour of the canvas the prompts field sites on - i.e. it automaticaly sorts out the problem.
PROCEDURE lp_setup_prompt_colour IS
-- This procedure sets the background colour of all prompts to the
-- items canvas background colour
this_block varchar2(70) :=
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), first_block);
last_blockname constant varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise current block to first block
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), last_block); -- Define the last block
field_name varchar2(70); -- the name of the current item
this_item varchar2(70) := -- Initialise current item to the first item in the form
get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise last item to the last item in the first block
get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
canvas varchar2(70);
begin
loop -- Go through every item in the form
field_name := this_block || '.' || this_item; -- set the current item
canvas := get_item_property( field_name, ITEM_CANVAS );
if canvas is not null then -- don't bother if null canvas item
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(field_name, PROMPT_BACKGROUND_COLOR,
GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY(canvas ,BACKGROUND_COLOR));
end if;
-- Stop looping once the last item in the form has been added to the list
exit when this_block = last_blockname and this_item = last_field;
if this_item = last_field then -- weve looped round and are back at first field
-- Step into the next block
this_block := get_block_property (this_block, nextblock);
this_item := get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field := get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
else
-- Step to the next item in the block
this_item := get_item_property (field_name, nextitem);
end if;
end loop;
end;

Actually, this is a known bug - you should apply the latest patch.

Change Tab Canvas Tab Attributes?

Hello:
I've got a tab canvas where I changed the background and foreground colors using a visual attribute--this changed the "body" area of all of the individual tab canvases which is what I wanted. However, it didn't change the background colors of the actual tabs (on the top of) these canvases, they are still in the default Oracle gray and teal (the tab for the canvas currently on 'top' is gray and the others are teal). How do I change the visual attributes of the tabs themselves? This shouldn't be as difficult as it's being, but I can't find a setting for this.
Thanks,
Mark

I'll bet the tabs on top actually are set by the color of the "parent" tab canvas background color. I always just set its background color, and never tried changing the individual tab pages. In fact, I don't know about making each tab a different color -- it looks like you can change each one's color, but the tabs at the top will probably keep the parent tab's color.

How to change the background color of a Tab Canvas

Hi All,
I accidentally changed existing background color of a tab Canvas to ' gray' which is not matching with main canvas (which has default).
How can I change background color to default. Please help me.
-Thanks

In the property palette of the tab page, click on the "Background Color" property and click the "Inherit" button on the top of the property palette, this will revert the value of the property to the default when the tab page was created which is <Unspecified>.
But if your tab page has inherited the color from a property class it will revert to what was specified in the property class.

Background canvas's colour in Forms Builder

In dev 10g, exists a environment variable(registry), where is it possible to set canvas color?
I'll try to explain better:
When you use Layout Wizard: Canvas Page on which you whis lay out your datablock's item,
background is gray for default, I wish set other colour when I create(Builder), not in runtime.
I didn't success to found any info!
Thanks in adavance

background is gray for default
when u open Form builder the default canvas colour is gray as you said earlier
but when u try to open an existing form, Form builders display the actual colour of the canvas set in properties of canvas!
Lets suppose i have a form whos background colour later modufied by me and i set it to Cyan as per ma requirement.
[as per your scenario]
Now if i reopen the form, Form builder applied the default colour so a developer getting confused what the actual colour a canvas had?

Tab background colour color

I'm trying to fill in the background colour in the header section of my app...
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=37398
user: end_user
pw: 123login
Is it possible to fill in the colour behind the tabs?...
I realise these are images... and I've tried entering the bgcolor="#000066" attribute directly to the images....
< img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_12/StandardTabCurrentLeft.gif" alt="" bgcolor="#000066"/ >
but this didn't work.
Any help would be good.
Thanks,

you could use 129: Horizontal Links List (101). You can specify the background colours in that template.....
List Template Current
<td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%" style="background:#cc3300 ;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="left" width="10" height="22" nowrap="nowrap"> </td>
<td valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap"
style="padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;border-bottom:0px">
#TEXT#</td>
<td align="right" width="8" nowrap="nowrap"> </td>
</tr></table></td>
List Template Noncurrent:
<td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="95%" border="0">
<tr><td valign="left" align="left" width="0" height="19" nowrap="nowrap"> </td><td valign="left" nowrap="nowrap"
style="padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;background:#660033;border:1px #979774 solid;border-bottom:0px;">

How do I split the background colour on a canvas?

Hi. I need to produce a text logo with the first half of the canvas background black with white text, and the second half white with black text. Do I split the background or join two individual canvases together ............ or something else?

Tab canvas color

Hi,
I had a form with content/stacked canvases and I converted all of them to tab so that it would be much easier for the users to view. Everything's working fine but somehow the color of all the canvases has changed to light gray. Earlier my canvases were teal (which is by default in 10g). I want to keep the default color i.e. teal, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

You can set all or some of the tab canvas's pages the background color you wish:
Open the object navigator , and all the tab pages of the tab canvas.
Right - click on each one - or press F4 - to activate the property palette. Change the background color as you like....
Note: you can do this in just one click..... You simply select the tab pages and preesing F4 you alter the background color.....
Greetings.

Reports 3: setting background colour.

Using Reports 3 how do I set the background colour for the
margin? I do mean the margin and not the objects in the margin
(they're easy).
Thanks for any help.

You're referring to both data.@ColourNo and data.ColourNo. Is
it an

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

Pse 11 organiser view screen background colour

Am I able to change the background colour of the view screen in PSE 11 organiser? The current background is grey, which isn't a great colour to optimise viewing images. Black would be better.

You can only do it in the Editor within a tab or floating window. Right click on any gray area surrounding an open image.

Can't change color of Tab Canvas tabs

I'm trying to modify a the background color of a tab canvas, and the color of the canvas itself changes as specified, but I have been unable to change the color of the tabs themselves.
Am I missing something here, or is there a bug, or what?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

Thanks for the info - at least I know to quit looking for something I may have overlooked.
Thanks also for the possible workaround - I may try that.

The colour picker is selecting the background colour instead of the foreground colour.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour. And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select. Do you know how to flip it back? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

In the Color Palette (Window>Color) click on the foreground swatch. A "focus ring" will appear around it.

Preview background colour problem

This is an annoying problem I can't seem to remedy. Even though the background colour is set to white, it shows up as a murky brown colour when printed. I have attempted the usual fixes such as deleting the preference file but nothing seems to work. Not serious I know, but none the less annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Ron
I take it you are using Panther, and so your Preview is version 2.1.
In Preview, open its preferences (Command + , (comma))
Select the General tab where at the bottom is a box with "Window background color" next to it.
Click on the box which will open the colour selector, and choosing the Palette (centre one) will give you the opportunity to select white. I hope that fixes it.
