The OS changes the background color on certain folders!

Hello, I have assigned a slight yellow color to one of my onboard drive's folder when open. This allows me to quickly differentiate it from other drives when copying files. I don't want to use it as a default because I only want the color on the one drive's desktop when open.
Sooo, Mountain Lion in it's wisdom regularly changes the color back to white. WHY? Why won't it stay my selected color?
thanks
Don

I'm not experiencing that problem... that makes it very hard to "fix."
All I can figure is: don't keyframe the last frame of the title - burn a few frames at the end with the fade out. If you need more time -- just stretch it out further.
Adding drop shadow controls for the rectangle would complicate the parameter selections, not to mention make you have to scroll for them (I'm sure many who are familiar with my work are laughing right now...LOL). I already put the text drop shadow controls (as well as the most commonly used text parameters) in to save you from having to go back and forth to the text pane to make those adjustments. The Outline should be sufficient and consider using a semi-transparent gradient for the rectangle! I made the "fill" control a gradient (although it's "stuck" as a vertical gradient) which can be used for a really nice effect.

How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

Need to change the background color of a textview in offline PDF

Hi,
We are using the PDFDocument API in order to generate a PDF file which is eventually stored in a network folder. We were initially using the Webdynpro Interactive Form UI element, but digressed from that approach because of some architecture considerations.
I am able to do everything with the PDFDocument API, expect two things which are proving to be much tougher than I thought:
1) I have a textview in my .XDP template. The background color of this textview must change depending on the value that I display inside it. For example, if the value is between 1 and 20, the background color must be green, if the value is between 21 and 40, it must be yellow and so on...
I still have not found the method to specify the background color of a textview using the .XML data file.
2) Depending on a certain condition, I need to display 5 images in a table row instead of the usual 6. I have been able to do that by simply not providing the 6th image url, but I also need to resize the 5 such that they occupy the space that was initially used by 6 images.
Any ideas of how I can go about these requirements?
Thanks & regards,
Navneet Nair.

1) I added an invisible textfield inside my .XDP file and populated it with the color value that I want my main text field to display. (This color needs to be specified in the R,G,B format... for example... 128,0,0
2) Now in the 'Initialize' javascript event of my main text field, I included the following script:
this.resolveNode("<SubFormName>.<MainTextFieldName>").fillColor = this.resolveNode("<SubFormName>.<InvisibleTextFieldName>").rawValue;
Hope it helps!

Can you change the background colors in templates on Pages?

I love the newsletter templates in Pages, but I can't figure out a way to change the background color. I am supposed to use specific colors so I was hoping there was a way to change the background colors in some of the tables. Is there a way?

Hi, yes, I clicked the box that I wanted to change the background in. I made sure that the correct box was selected and not the text box on top of it. Then I clicked Fill on the top bar and selected the color that I wanted to change it to. I only wanted to change the color in certain boxes - I didn't want to change the entire background of the newsletter template. I hope I explained this ok

Hi,
One way is use jQuery.
Here is sample
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40323:54
I have this on page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#P54_EMP option').each(function(i){
if(this.value=='KING'||this.value=='SCOTT'){
$(this).css({'background-color':'yellow'});
</script>This might help how install jQuery to Apex
http://www.oracleapplicationexpress.com/tutorials/66
Or you can just load it from Google by adding this also to page HTML header or page template
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.4.2");
</script>Br,Jari

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
end tell
end tell
so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
thanks in advance for any and all help with this

According to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

In Pages 09' how do I change the background colors on the templates?

I have been trying to change the background on one of the templates from red to green for a while. I can't figure it out and i can't find answers online any where that are helpful at all. I just need to changes the background color to what I want it to be and not what the programs sets them too. Any ideas? I'm totally stumped!
Thanks for the help!

Hi Burke,
Here's the result, using Peggy's suggestion:
Process:
Click on the thin strip of red to the left of the title ("THE THOMPSONS") to select the background.
You'll see the small x in each corner, indicating the object is locked.
Go Arrange > Unlock (or press option-command-L) to unlock the object.
Click on the Fill Color well in the format bar, and choose a new colour from the palette.
Go Arrange > Lock (or press command-L to re-lock the object.
Save the result.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

How to change the background color of a sequence?

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on Win7 x64. I've imported a JPEG that's a different size than my 1920 x 1080 frame. The background of this JPEG is white, but the background of the sequence is black (by default), so the borders of the JPEG make it stand out. I want the JPEG to blend into the sequence background by making the sequence background white. How can I change the sequence background color? Thanks.

Jim and Ann are correct. I can see where someone used to After Effects might ask that question though because in AE you can change the background color of the composition. Same with Photoshop.
However, I think it would confuse things if changing the background color were to be allowed in Premiere Pro. Black tells me something. I suppose white could tell me the same thing, but at this time it is not possible in Premiere Pro.

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.
