Transparent backgound color on KPI Tiles

Any quick tip on how to set the background color to transparent for the SDK KPI Tile?
Regards, Stein

but how would I go about calling the images saved on the BO server from CSS? any chance I can get an example snippet?
Here is what I tried: created a follder C:/css in here I have 1 folder called images (C:/css/images/example.jpg) and my CSS file.. in my css file the class refering to my picture contains the following:
.sampleclass
background : url (images/example.jpg);
but this doesn't work, I assume its because the picture is held locally on my C drive instead of the BI platform..
any way of going about this issue?;/

Problem with adjusting both transparency and color of an object

I am writing a program where when an object is picked, both it's transparency and color will be altered (the object will become opaque, and its color will turn to a predefined "selected" color), while the previously selected object will return to its original transparency and color. I am able to get this to work, except that objects that were picked two or more picks ago will remain in the selected color, albeit in their original transparency. This problem only seems to occur when transparency is factored in. The picking/color & transparency altering code is as follows.
public class PickingListener extends MouseAdapter {
     private PickCanvas pickCanvas;
     private TextDisplay overlay;
     private Primitive p;
     private Primitive lastP;
     private ColoringAttributes origColor;
     private TransparencyAttributes origTransparency;
     public PickingListener(PickCanvas pickCanvasArg, TextDisplay overlayArg) {
          pickCanvas = pickCanvasArg;
          overlay = overlayArg;
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
          pickCanvas.setShapeLocation(e);
          PickResult result = pickCanvas.pickClosest();
          if (result == null) {
               System.out.println("Nothing picked");
          } else {
               p = (Primitive) result.getNode(PickResult.PRIMITIVE);
               if (p != null) {
                    setSelectedColor();
                    overlay.setPickedBarInfo((BarInformation) p.getUserData());
               else
                    System.out.println("null");
     private void setSelectedColor() {
          ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
          TransparencyAttributes barTransp = new TransparencyAttributes(TransparencyAttributes.NICEST, 0.0f);
          barCA.setColor(ColorConstants.SELECTED);
          if (lastP != null) {
               lastP.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(origColor);
               lastP.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(origTransparency);
          origColor = p.getAppearance().getColoringAttributes();
          origTransparency = p.getAppearance().getTransparencyAttributes();
          p.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(barCA);
          p.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(barTransp);
          lastP = p;
}Capabilities to alter the primitive's color and transparency are all set.
     barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
          barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE);
          barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE);          barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_WRITE);
barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_READ);)
Any insight as to why this would occur would be greatly appreciated.

A Behavior is the preferred way to make changes in a scenegraph. Here is an example from a previous post that changes the appearance of a shape when it collides with another shape.
The javadoc for javax.media.j3d.Behavior appears to refer to the issue you have.
Transparencies are confusing, different display adapters deal with them differently. Suggest you search the forum at

You can add a solid color theme to change the color of the top of the browser window, which includes the Menu Bar.

Need transparent background color in Spry Menu Bar

Tried every possible combination.
Built a 150x1000 px header in Illustrator with a 20x1000 px rectangle at the bottom for the nav bar, set as a background image in the header within Dreamweaver.
Can not make a transparent (no color) background within Spry Menu Bar: MenuBar1??
Also, my first nav is 'Welcome' that <li></li> is about 6-8 px higher then the rest of the nav bar??
Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks

Have you tried changing the value of the Background colour in your CSS:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    cursor: pointer;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
    padding-right: 2px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    display: block;
    background-color: #223F9A;

Transparency and color blend space: fail!

Hi there. I keep trying to export my pdf, to no avail.
I get an error that pops up that says there is an error with my transparency and color blend space.
HOWEVER, all my images are set to CMYK (it says so in the links panel) and my transparency blend space is also set to CMYK. I have no errors in my preflight panel. When I ignore the message and continue to export, the image looks completely different and not the way I want it to show up.
Please let me know how I can fix this error! Thanks so much!

Document CMYK is the assigned profile in Edit>Assign Profiles.... Working CMYK is Color Settings...>Working Spaces>CMYK. If there's no profile assigned, document and working are the same. So in this case Document CMYK is Coated FOGRA27 and Working CMYK is US Web Coated SWOP—the assigned FOGRA is color managing the document's native CMYK colors not the working US SWOP

Acrobat XI - Transparent Text Color

Any help with this would be spectacular, because I am beginning to think this release has removed this ability.
Editing a PDF document that has text embedded within the layout, I want to set the "Fill" of the text to Transparent. This was something I have been able to do for many Acrobat cycles now but with the release of XI it appears to be missing.
I do not want to delete the text. Additionally, I found where I can change the color of the text, but none of the options translate to Transparent.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Sadly, with what I am trying to achieve, this is part of a larger paragraph and I need to just blank out the fill on a word or two.
I have older versions of Acrobat so I can still get to where I am going, but it is problamatic that the new Acrobat lacks this feature.

Transparency preview - color faded

Hi,
I used PSD images (based on a transparent layer) and placed in a Indesign document. I used to export to PDF without no problems to preview in CS2. But now, when I open the document in Acrobat professional 8 (CS3) the color of the same tranparent images look faded, or pale. If I open the same document in Adobe Reader 7, no problem, colors are gloss and perfect.
Is there a setting that I have to setup to automatically see the right colors?
All my Adobe suite is synchronized for color settings.
Thank you!!

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I've been experiencing the same color issues with multi-page CMYK PDFs with transparency created in InDesign CS3 on Acrobat 8 (I'm running the latest version 8.1.2 on 10.4.11).
Any page that has transparency on it has a huge color shift (It almost looks like it has been converted to RGB). Pages without transparent objects print fine. The same PDF in Acrobat 7 will print with the correct colors on both types of pages.
The PDFs were exported from InDesign CS3 with the Transparency Blend Space set to CMYK and the PDF set to "Press Quality." All images in the document were in CMYK. The PDFs were printed on a Xerox Phaser 7400. Same print settings used in both Acrobat 7 & 8.

Transparency blend color space in Illustrator

In InDesign there is an option to specify the transarency blend color space. Is there something equivalent to this in Illustrator? If not, how does Illustrator set the colorspace (CMYK or RGB) for transparent elements? In printing we can get all kinds of problems with transparency problems such as boxes, if the transparency space differs from the image's working space. I want to find a way to sync this so the transparency blends all match the working space. Typically I work in CMYK. Thanks.

Ai offers you either RGB or CMYK; you decide which in the File > Document Color Mode ( circa v10 ). Transparency doesn't care which space you use in Ai. If you work in CMYK, then just make sure your swatches and images are CMYK. But, I think there are other reasons why you'd get boxes in transparent objects. Take a look at Flattening.

Setting transparent fill color

b How can I set the transparent color to a form object from a JavaScript code?
For example in this case:
> xfa.resolveNode("this.border.fill.color").value = "255,255,0";
This line set the object color to yellow. And transparent color? How I have to do?
Thanks !!!
Dan

While XFA supports any color space, the
usable color space depends on the target. Since your forms are rendering to PDF (or possibly HTML if you're using LiveCycle Forms), you're unfortunately limited to their support which is RGB only.
In short, you can't set the transparency value of a color when targeting PDF.

Changing transparency background color on PNG thumbnails??

Okay so I don't know if this is possible but I would like to be able to change the transparency color on my PNG file thumbnails. Right now the background is black but when I open the file it is white in iphoto or transparent in adobe. It's not a HUGE deal but it does kind of suck when the image itself is black and then I can't tell what the image actually looks like just by looking at the thumbnails. Any help would be great!! Thanks!

Jamie P:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The color that the transparency displays if a function of the application displaying the file and, in iPhoto, is set by iPhoto. It's just the nature of the beast. You can put in a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

CP5 - W7 - Button Transparency Yellow color - flooding white areas

Here are some buttons I made...
This is the setting in Photoshop made for every saved button
This is how the different buttons are displayed in "Preview in a browser" (F12)
These above are ok!
This one has gone crazy...
Why? I have really looked at every setting.. and checked that I treated every image the same... Actually, all images are in the same PSD and therefore automatically the same options when saving.
1. I need to use exactly this yellow color
2. I need the transparency, because there are effects running in the background that will show around the outer edges.
3. I can not find any choice that says choose this color as alpha... that might have solved the problem
Is this a bug? An undeveloped feature to not set the Alpha, or just me that can not understand the tool.
Please help me with a corect or incorrect way to fix this
Best Regards // Daniel Perez

Hi there
You need to open the image in an image editing application and scrutinize a close up. The transparent color traditionally used in Captivate is based on the color of the pixel at coordinate 0,0 (upper left). It would appear this pixel is the same color as the face.
Usually a safe trick is to flood fill the area you wish to become transparent with an odd color such as fuschia.
Cheers... Rick

Need help with transparency and color quality in the forground

I need to make an image that is comprised of a collage in the back with a clear visible logo on top. I'm not sure if I'll need to change the hue's of the background collage images to create the image or if theres a way to make the image somewhat see through but keep true to the colors of the forground?

I agree with Trevor. I think you are over thinking the issue. Just place a logo in the same document, scale it, adjust its opacity if necessary and your done. As for the background of the logo, that can depend on how it was created. Preferable in photoshop so that you have a transparent background. But if the background happens to be pure white or black, you can use blend modes to remove the background.
But I am getting ahead of my self. Lets see how you do, post your results, if necessary a screen capture of photoshop with the layers panel open.

FileFormat: Reading transparency and color data separatley

I have a problem reading data via my file format plugin.
I can read the different layers in the format in Lab color mode (8-Bit).
In the file there is a layer transparency mask (1 byte for every pixel), which is stored right before the image data.
Currently I tried 2 approaches:
1.
- Set transparencyPlane to 3
- Set loPlane, hiPlane to 3
- Set colBytes to 1
- Set rowBytes to image width
- Set data to a buffer with size of image width
- read row from the transparency mask
-> advanceState gives error (-30500)
2.
- read transparency mask completely (I know, bad idea)
- Set transparencyPlane to 3
- Set loPlane = 0, hiPlane = 3
- Set colBytes to 4
- Set rowBytes to image width * 4
- Set data to a buffer with size of image width * 4
- read row from file in a temp. buffer
- copy values from temp. buffer and transparency for every pixel to the data buffer
-> advanceState ok but image ks not correct in PS
I think there must be another, better way to apply this transparency mask.
Thank you for your help....

Problem solved.
I forgot to tell PS the correct count of planes in the readStart selector.
So approach 1 was right.

How to create swf with transparent backgound

I have a web site project created in Dreamweaver. On the home page I need a swf file that is transparent and will animate over the dreamweaver backgound. Does the wmode need to be coded in actionscript or is there another way of solving this.
KatyDad

The wmode parameter is set in the html code of the web page. Setting it to a value of "transparent" should make the background invisible for most browsers.
