Themes and backgrounds

I see how to change the picture on my Centro in the Phone section, but what about everywhere else? Is there a way to change the background to a particular image on the home screen or any other software sections?

Hello!
That function requires the procriation of 3rd-party launhcer applications. Like LauncherX, Touchlauncher, Treo Launher are example Launcher applications. Due note that these are 3rd-party solutions so support for them are done by the respected vendors.

Use theme AND change background

Hi,
I'm using a theme that has a drop zone scroll over a plain, black background. I'd really like to keep the drop zone scroll and change the plain background to one of my photos.
When I change the background, the drop zones disappear behind the photo. Is there any way to send the background to the back? Ideally, I'd like the drop zone scroll to appear over my personalized background.
This is my first time using iDVD (new convert from PC to Mac), so I appreciate the insights.
Thanks for the help!
Adam

Adam:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can do that but it will involve copying the Lines theme package from the iDVD application package to the desktop and then replacing the backgroung.tif file in that theme package with your own background tif. That will allow the drop zone to play above your background. Once you've finished with the replacement, rename the theme and place it in your User/Library/iDVD/Favorites folder. It will then be available in the theme pane.
Open the application by Control-clicking on it and select Show Package Contents. Then navigate down to the Resources folder where you'll find all the themes. Open the Lines theme package the same way.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Screen flashing between grey and background, dock not showing

I don't know how this happened, but I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion: as soon as I'd logged in, the Dock dissapeared, and the background started flashing between grey and my background. The only way for me to open anything is through Spotlight.
Whenever I try to make an app fullscreen, it glitches halfway through: half the screen is grey, and half the screen flashing. Opening Notification Centre flashes between grey and open and background and closed. Mission Control won't open, and CMD-tab fails to do anything.
Upon inspection in Activity Monitor, there is an abnormal amount of processes named "com.apple.dock.extra": closing them does nothing. One process exists and then doesn't in time to the background flash, and the amount of "dock.extra"s grows and shrinks from 3 to 10.
Can anyone help me with this strange problem?

Open Spotlight and type Terminal. Select the Terminal application.
Type 'sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Dock'. Ensure it looks exactly like that (minus the quotes) and hit enter. Type your password if you have one. Then, type the command 'killall Dock' and hit enter. The dock will terminate and restart, and it will hopefully be returned to its previous state.

Question about windows theme and viewing webpages

I all, I am new here, I have had my laptop for about 8 mths, but it was packed away for about 6mths, so it has only really had 3 mths of use and that was 99% for watching movies as this was my backup laptop (my girlfriends, which was never used)...
Okay I just got my laptop back out of storage and started using it again as I want to make this my main work computer now, it is a Satellite A100 Series. Running Win XP Pro SP2. Okay, now i have been using it for about 1 week now, and it is a fantastic computer, expecially the finger swipe feature, I am usually a XP Home Edition person, but i am making do with Pro, just have not had all the experience with it..
Now here is the problem, and this has always been the problem since purchased, when we first bought this and connected to the internet with IE7 the fonts were massive, i figured how to fix this in the display settings after a few hours playing around, and also noticed the webpages if there was a background image it does not display... (this week I also found this is the same for any application on the PC that uses a webpage like set-up, or something, just sectain things... such as i open the Security Center in the control panel and the whole thing is white background, and any background images are not there (making it white), and even the round corners that are background images do not show up, and comparing to my other computer, there should be green and red background colours etc.
Also with Windows Media Player the actual buttons should be purple and black in WMP11, and these have like a html style white background over the buttons with links on them at the top and the play, stop etc buttons have a back outer and the inside is white...
basically what i am saying is it is not showing up CSS style WC3 content on some pages and apps on the laptop, and as for webpages they are exactly the same, I have tried IE7, FireFox, Avant Browser, and all the same, the only one that shows pages almost like it should is Opera 9.2, but I really need to fix this problem... it is obioussly something simple to do with display, or settings but i have literally tried every simgle different way of doing things in the last week, tried everything in the control panel, all the Toshiba toools, and no results.
I am not a newbie or anything either, i just cant get this fixed, i cant even think of a setting that would make this occur let alone trying to fix it... I have all recent Windows Updates (though like i said, it has been doing this since the first day of purchase)...
If i could post a screenhot here I would show you... what webpages look like in IE7 and FireFox and Avant (the only difference is Internet Explorer background of the pages is mainly grey and firefox is white, avant is grey also.)
one more issue, when i was messing around with the settings in the control panel, Under Performace I changed it to something like "make display best for performace" rather than "Best for Display" , and this then made my control panel plain with a white background, and everything is not how i am used to it, even the categories are done for each section , they are just all grouped there, and my Windows Home on my other laptop is set to this, but it atleast has a sidebar on the left with a button to change back...
now i am at a loss to find the Performace button, as it is there no longer, and I want to change it back to "display best for the display" not the persomance... so if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know... i took a screenshot of my Control Panel also.. and it is not bare, I am using the Windows Zune theme (the black buttons and backgrounds etc), so it used to be a dark grey background with a statusbar on the side with all links and details just like for folders etc... so yeah this is another thing i want to fix.
Also i dont have the CD anymore to repair it, not that i think it needs it, but i do have a standard out of the box Win Xp Pro disc, i have been seriusosly doing a fresh install, but i know i will lose all the toshiba add-ons and extras it came with, so thats the only reason i have not, as it has Protector Suite QL which i would have to pay for if doing a clean install, and i really dont want to do that as there is obviously something i am missing, its as simple as that, there is nothing wrong with the system its just not configured correctly.
Here are some screenshots of how I see webpages, my Security Center Page, and my Control Panel since i messed it up doing 'Make best for performace' and the display turned to basic white background and half the stuff in the Control Panel is now missing, it was setup in categories previous... ahhhhh, when i try and fix the original problem i made another..
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_01-1.jpg
{This is the Security Center Screen when i click from the Control Panel, this was before i made it bland)
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_02Sep3021.54.jpg
( this is now my control panel once i went into 'Premformance and Display" (i think. it was definately performace in the category name though) .. and i changed a setting to do with performance and display making it use less resources.. now i cant change it back, as the performace button does not exist anymore :( )
Thanks for reading, and I sure hope someone out there can help me cos i would hate to have to do a whole new install over something as small as this, there is not many add-on programs on my laptop, as i said, it has probably beeen used 20 times ever, and mostly to watch movies until 1 week ago where it was sitting in storage for 6mths,,
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have tried all Internet Options, all Display Options, all variations , i need something specific, it is not only effecting the internet, but overall programs with html style links, etc and definately CSS style sheets and the background image feature in html code.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay
Very impressive posting! As I can see after 4 days nobody wrote anything to give you the solution for your problem. I have read your posting very carefully and must say that it was not easy to understand your problem exactly (maybe because English language is not my mother tongue).
I know very well that new OS installation is latest and radical solution but I recommend you to check some Microsoft WXP forums because described issue is, in my opinion, more for OS forums than for Toshiba forum.
If you will post the same in Microsoft forum please post the link and we can follow the discussion there.
I wish you good luck and hopefully you will find answers soon.

How to see the foreground and background colour without those sliders?

I've always found the Color Panel really annoying. A lot of space is taken up by those sliders, and I hardly ever use them.
Is there some way to hide the sliders, or—better still—put the foreground & background colours on the control panel? Shouldn’t the colours be on the control panel by default, always there in the corner?
I wonder how most people view the foreground and background colour? Does Adobe seriously expect users to have the large Color Panel constantly displayed (along with its rarely-used sliders), or perhaps we’re all expected to have the Tools Panel constantly open even though it only contains basic tools that most people know the shortcuts for?
Or is there some other way to see the foreground and background colours?
Or do most users not need to know what the foreground and background colours are?

Too big, i guess you don't remember the color palettes from ps 1 and ps 2.
You might want to look at configurator to make a smaller panel that just shows the
foreground/background color chips.

Is there any way to bring back the font type and background of Safari reader from iOS6 in to the iOS7 ? I really miss it, the new design is awful, simple and has now class at all.

Is there any way to bring back the font type and background of Safari Reader from iOS6 in to the iOS7 ? I really miss it, the new design is awful, simple and has now class at all.

I agree with you, many things in the ios 6.x were more elegant. The reader was the most one of them. I think the ios7 wants to be the windows 8.

Composite photo and background layer question

I would appreciate some help with a workflow problem when dealing with a composite, selection and background layer. My normal workflow is to start of in LR4, and if need be do an "edit in, CS6". I am relatively new to CS6, so bear with me.
I have some portraits I want to put different backgrounds on. I am using Matt Kloskowski's Layers book and Composites books written for CS5. I also have Martin Evening's book on CS6 and the workflow for doing a composite is pretty much the same. The catch is that none of them start off in LR with the original photo. They all describe the following basic workflow pattern:
1. Bring up the main photo in CS using "edit in CS6"
2. Change the photo from a background layer to a regular layer
3. Make a selection.
4. Make a layer mask
5. Refine the edge
6. open the background photo you want to place the selection in (steps 4 and 5 are sometimes reversed so you are refining the edge on the new background)
7. copy and paste the original photo onto the new background
8. Refine the edge if not already done
9. Save and exit back to LR with the composite
If I follow this procedure I run into a couple of problems:
1. My backgrounds are in a separate folder on my computer and not cataloged in LR. So, if I open them in photoshop and paste the original photo onto that image, LR will not know that I want to take the new composite back to the original folder along with the protrait. If I go to save the image, CS want to take the composite back to the folder on my computer where I got the background from. I tried playing around and tried renaming the composite similar to the naming convention I use for my photos in LR and then importing it into that folder after I have saved it in the background folder. This had some unintended consequences. First, I had trouble renaming the composite photo. For some reason Windows kept plugging in an old photo file name from one of my photos taken two years ago. After I discovered that I could work around it. But after the first composite finally got into LR, when I tried to do it again, the import button on the left side of my LR went dark and I couldn't import the second composite photo I was working on. This could have been a coincident and unconnected LR glitch, but I have never had that problem before.
So...I was thinking of modifying the workflow to the following:
1. Bring up the main photo in CS using "edit in CS6"
2. Change the photo from a background layer to a regular layer
3. Make a selection.
4. Make a layer mask
5. Refine the edge
6. open the background photo you want to place the selection in
7. copy and paste the new BACKGROUND onto the original photo
8. Move or make the new background layer THE "Background" layer
10. Refine the edge
11. Save and exit back to LR with the composite
I am envisioning this will ensure that my composite will wind up back in LR because it is still keeping track of the original photo which now has gotten the new background, regardless of what the file name of the new background was.
Does any of this make sense? Does any one know a better way of handling this?
Thanks for any help,
Jim

Yes, it makes sense and I think you should go ahead and try it.

Working with Characters and Backgrounds in Captivate 6

Hello,
I'm trying to insert art from E-Learning Art as a background for the characters in Captivate 6, and I'm having two problems:
1) I added one picture (.jpg photograph) and it shows up on every slide. It is not in the master slides, and I do not want it on every slide. How do I remove the picture from the slides where I want to put another background?
2) When I preview my slides, the characters have an obvious white line around them and in some cases a glow. Any suggestions for correcting this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Please check :
1) Select the Charatcer on your slide-- Properties -- Timing, make sure the timing is not show for rest of the project, that way it will show up through out.
2) Please check the properties have you applied a shadow or reflection, that could cause a possible glow to the character
Thanks,

Logon Page - Trademark text and background color

Hi Guys,
I just customized the Logon Page of the Portal successfully. The only two things which are missing are the trademark as well as a new background color. So ... can anybody tell how to:
1. Change the SAP Trademark text in the Logon Page?
2. Change the background color of the background page?
Hopefully I can do it in the portal. Thanks for your answers and your help.
Best regards
Alexander

Alexander,
In addition to the tips you already got from the other members...
1. The Background colour is the background colour that is defined in the theme assigned in the Default Portal Desktop (defaultDesktop) that is located in the folder: pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/. By default the Tradeshow theme is selected in this desktop if you create your own theme and assign it to this desktop and set it as default then the background colour of your theme will be the background colour visible in the login page....
2. The Trademark text is a "Locale text" this means that the strin is not visible in the code but referenced by a variable based on the language of the browser. You can find this copywrite text in the following location:
a. Download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file from your Portal
b. Import it in NWDS or unzip it.
c. inside the structure look for the folder PORTAL-INF\lib
d. there is a .jar file called umelogonbase.jar. extract this file with winzip
e. inside the structure you now see allot of .properties files.. look for the loginLabels_<yourcountrycode>.properties and inside this file look for the variable called "COPY_RIGHT" there you can edit it.
f. do this for all the languages you need and create a new par file again in your customer namespace so that you don't overwrite the one from SAP.
Good Luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

Numeric Control - Text and Background Color changes when operating inc/dec arrows

Hi,
I'm developing an application that has a panel with black background and green or red numbers. I've added numeric controls and configured the text color and text background color attributes accordinglingy. I set the numeric control to hot or validate control mode and show the inc/dec arrows, since I want to be able to incr/decr the numbers.
The problem is that when I run the application and I hit the inc/dec arrows, then the colors inside the numeric control frame become inverted: the black background becomes white and the green number becomes cyan. I've created a callback function assosicated with the numeric control and tried forcing the text and background color, in the EVENT_VAL_CHANGED section, using the SetCtrlAttrribute() function, but to no avail. Also added ProcessDrawEvents didn't help.
When I mouse click again outside the numeric control, then it reverts back to its original colors (green text, black background).
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this ?
I want it to keep its original colors at all times, even when I'm clicking the incr/decr arrows...
Kind regards,
pgriep
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, now I see what's happening.
The effect you are seeing is a resul of standard numeric control behaviour combined with the black bcakground: when you use arrows to increment/decrement a numeric control its value will be automatically highlighted; on the default background you'll see the white area and figures highlighted in black (white numbers on balck background). If you set the background to black the system will automatically change the colors used to highlight the text, and that's what you're seeing.
By the way, this does not happens if you use up and down keys on the keyboard: text is not highlighted so colors are not changing.
Additionally, this is not only valid for numerics: see the behaviour of the string controls on the bottom of your panel when you tab up to them. This effect does not happen on controls set as indicator like the big clock in the upper part of the panel.
The only way I can see to overcome this behaviour is to hide control built-in arrows and create your own up and down buttons with which you can manipulate the numeric control. I am attaching a modified version of your project with buttons on the left numeric; sorry for the poor aesthetic: I have used some arrow icons I had on my disk, you may want to create your own arrows with the colors and shape you prefer.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Keynote Images and Backgrounds

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows where the images are stored that are used in Keynote. For instance, I would like to play around with the background for the Sedona theme, but I don't know where that image is and I can't figure out even where to start looking for it.
If anyone knows or has a suggestion, please write.
(I did try looking at the package contents, but I didn't see the background images there )

I believe some of what you're looking for is here.
In your HD open the Library folder, then Application Support, then iWork '08 then Content then Fills. There, you'll find Colors, Images, and Textures. In each one of those are packages. Right click on them and choose "Show Package Contents" to get at the images.
An easy way to get at the theme's contents is to simply save a presentation and, under the Advanced Options, choose to COpy theme images into document. Then, simply Right click on that document and "Show Package Contents" and open the "theme-files" folder.

Burning DVD Without Themes and Chapters

I have an iMovie from my own video that I have edited just the way I want it. It has a title and will be about an hour long when burned. I just want to burn it to a DVD for TV viewing WITHOUT any theme or chapter stuff. iDVD won't seem to let me do that and has already screwed me up twice in the process. How can I bypass that theme and chapter stuff and just burn my DVD? I would like the instant play feature on the disc when it is done.
I have iMovie 6 and a MacBook.
Thanks for any help,
videolou

Hello videolou,
here's how to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

hope this helps

Disabled font and background color

I am trying to change the font and background color of a disabled h:inputtext tag. Currently, if I set disabled=true on an h:inputtext tag, the background in gray and the font is white. I would like to somehow customize that to be background gray and font color black. Any ideas?

Broken Keynote themes and missing bullets

Since I last created and played a Keynote presentation on Dec 1st, something happened and many of my themes are not fully functional. My "Retro" and "Craft" themes give the warning: "One or more colors could not be properly read, and may not display correctly on some systems." The background for those slides was missing (blank with an X through it) and many small images and bullets were also missing (with X and ? symbols instead). The slides in the preview window are correct though.
Venetian, Kyoto and Moroccan gave the same error message, but only seem to be missing bullets.
Harmony, Vellum, Industrial, Scrapbook, Hard Cover, Water Color and Pushpin didn't give an error message but were still missing bullets.
I'm running Keynote 5.0.3, and the last two updates I ran since creating a working presentation with the Retro theme and noticing the brokenness were "Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 6" and "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Upd 2.7". In both cases my machine did not correctly reboot itself, but the updates claim they were successfully installed.
Rebooting didn't help. Do I need to reinstall iWork? Does anyone have any idea what happened?

My guess is you're actually editing regular slides and not the masters. Choose Show Master Slides from the little view pop-up menu in the tool bar and you'll see the Master slide area appear above the regular slides. Edit THOSE and your changes will stick.
Then take a look at this tutorial:
http://www.keynoteuser.com/tips/savingtheme.html
Now, once you've got a theme, the only EMPTY text containers that can be placed on a master are the Title and Body boxes. Anything else on a Master will be locked in, but you CAN put text on a master and it will show up on all slides that use that master.
As for your bullet points...
1. Yeah, others have found 3rd party solutions for this that work well. Hopefully someone will chime in on that.
2. Yeah, it's lacking in that area, though you can put a bunch of shapes on a slide in PPT and then open that PPT file in Keynote and most of them will come into Keynote with the stoke and fill still editable (a little hidden feature few know about).
3. You can drag speech bubbles across themselves in any direction and they'll flip over, without the text flipping over.

Unable to apply custom theme with background Image through code

Hi,
I am creating custom SharePoint 2013 theme and applying it through code on site by referring MSDN Article : "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj927175(v=office.15).aspx".
However when I try to add background image in custom theme and apply that theme to site then sites UI breaks.
Details: I have two features, in feature-1: I am Deploying *.spfont, *.spcolor and background image. Then I am adding a new entry in "composed looks" list for my custom theme. in feature 2- I am applying the custom theme to site by using following
code
SPTheme theme = SPTheme.Open("NewTheme", colorPaletteFile, fontSchemeFile, backgroundURI);theme.ApplyTo(Web, true);
Both feature activates without any errors, new entry also gets added in 'Composed Looks' list with all correct URLs, current item of composed looks list also change to custom theme but entire UI of site breaks If I remove background Image code from custom theme then everything works fine. Following code works fine
SPTheme theme = SPTheme.Open("NewTheme", colorPaletteFile, fontSchemeFile);
theme.ApplyTo(Web, true);
If I apply same background Image manually(not through code) then also everything works as expected.Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing, it will be helpful to those who stuck with the similar issue.
