  • Custom L&F with Shadow effect for Menus & Tooltips

    Hai friends !
    I want to design a custom look and feel with shadow effect for menus
    and tooltips. Pls help me....
    I tried following but..
    i) Extended abstract border....
    ii)Extends ColorUIResource to support "alpha"
    iii)setOpaque(false) in installUI() method
    Event hough I used transperent color for border the underlying color of
    component is displaying at the corners.

    I don't think there's anything you can do with the Tooltips, because the only methods I see that have to do with the tooltips are setTooltipText and getTooltipText..
    But, you can do transparent borders, and here's some code that shows you how to do it. This doesn't do exactly what you want, but you should be able to get there.
    import javax.swing.*;      
    import javax.swing.border.*;  
    import java.awt.*;
    public class BorderTest extends JFrame {
       JPanel panel;
       JButton buttona;
       JButton buttonb;
       public BorderTest () {
          super("BorderTest");
          panel    = new JPanel();
          buttona  = new JButton("TransBorder");
          buttonb  = new JButton("NonTransBorder");
          getContentPane().add(panel);
          panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 2));
          panel.add(buttona);
          panel.add(buttonb);
          panel.setBackground(Color.red);       
          // these two buttons are both blue, but the one with the transparent
          // border ends up looking somewhat purple.
          buttona.setBorder(new TransBorder());
          buttonb.setBorder(new TransBorder(Color.blue));
          setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          setBounds(0, 0, 300, 300);
       private class TransBorder extends AbstractBorder {    
          Color transColor;
          public TransBorder() {
             super(); 
             transColor  = new Color(0, 0, 255, 100);  // transparent blue
          public TransBorder(Color c) {
             super(); 
             transColor  = c;
          public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c) {
             return new Insets(3, 3, 3, 3);
          public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c, Insets i) {
             return getBorderInsets(c);
          public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int w, int h) {
             g.setColor(transColor);
             g.fillRect(x, y, w, h);
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          BorderTest bt  = new BorderTest();
          bt.setVisible(true);
    }Hope this helps.

  • Shadow Effect for a Truck

    Desperately looking for some expertise!
    I need assistance in creating the shadow effect underneath a vehicle and its tires. I have hunted through as many books as I can find and even looked at the D&D in the current issue of Photoshop User but I'm having no luck (yes I am a novice)!
    This is for an ad for a fire truck that I am doing for a national publication and I have to get it right! If this is really difficult can you suggest someone in Central New Jersey that may be able to assist.
    Thank you,
    Rich
    ps: I am using CS3 on Windows XP.

    G'day Rich
    It might be an idea to look at some vehicle pictures to get an idea of the shape of your shadow.
    You would then make a selection of the shape and put in on a seperate layer behind your vehicle picture. (vehicle picture would have to be cutout i.e. surrounded by transparency)
    Then fill this selection with the colour of the shadow, this colour is often not grey but is best selected from the colour of a real shadow. Then blur it (filter > blur > gaussian blur) then add noise (filter > noise >) and finally change the blend mode of this layer to something like multiply, this effect will depend on the actual colour of the background you are using.
    There are other ways to do this as always in Photoshop.
    Sometimes the actual shape of your vehicle layer could be used to make the selection and then transformed but this doesn't always work.
    If you could post a pic it might help to better advise.
    My very first ad was also as a novice for a worlwide travel magazine! so good luck with this and don't be put off by unhelpful comments!
    regards

  • HP Photo Creations v3.7's Cards: How to remove the dropped shadow boxes for photos?

    Hello.
    In Cards' mode when adding photos, I get shadow drop boxes. How do I remove these shadow drop boxes around my photos?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Antdude.
    There are several ways to remove the default "drop shadow" from a photo on your layout. The quickest is:
    Select the Design Tools
    Select the Photo Borders Tab
    Select the photo
    Click the first border preset (see screenshot below)
    That preset applies the plain border style to the photo, removing any other border treatments as well. To remove just the shadow, open the Advanced Controls at the very bottom of the page, scroll down, and then click the No Shadow button.
    These techniques work on graphics too.
    Hope this helps,

  • Making 3D animated effects for photos

    Are you able to create 3D photo effects, a la Riding Giants, The Kid Stays in the Picture, etc...by just using PhotoShop and FCE? (not just a simple ken burns effect) or is this something that has to be done in AfterEffects? Does Motion allow you to do this as well? I was thinking I could just take a photo, cut it into layers and then stack the layers in a FCE timeline with different zoom times...or am I being naive?

    I can get textures, but i cant get any animated textures to work.
    Well, that would require PS to support animated textures in the first place, would it not? And it simply doesn't. That asisde it's a pretty nonsensical workflow - whatever you are trying to do by hopping between 3 programs could probably be done easily in Blender's comp/ shading tree with direct access to texture data, render passes and all that. Realyl. For everything else you might wanan check this old article of mine to get an idea about a workflow that actually makes sense and plays out the benefits of working with render passes...

  • Quick fade in effect for my some elements in my swf

    is there a quick fade in effect available?

    Hi,
    I have read once again your post and watched the screenshot.
    At the beginning I thought that you used "Fade In" effects in FCP, but I see that it was in LiveType.
    So, as I understand, after rendering you imported this animated text to FCP - and you've got not good results (each letter appears briefly as black before becoming white as it's fully faded in.)
    Don't change anything with this text in LiveType, don't remove shadow, its not needed. After importing it to FCP and placeing on Timeline, click the text and change in the Menu: "Modify / Alpha Type / Black" - render this fragment and watch. Now is OK?
    (You can change this parameter also in a Viewer window - it will be changed for all uses you will need.)

  • UPPER and lower case file extensions for Photo Shop Elements using Windows 7

    How do I persuade WIndows 7 to show both UPPER and lower case file extensions, which is a very useful facility offered by my ancient, 2002, version of Photoshop Elements? When processing large volumes (100 plus) photos it is very useful to be able to spot those that have been processed among those awaiting my gentle touch. The JPEG file extension produced by my camera is UPPER case so by using "Save as" with lower case the modified photos are immediately spotted. This worked fine on Windows XP and the same programme has loaded and works well on my new laptop which came loaded with Windows 7 EXCEPT that it persists in using UPPER case all the time, irrespective of the preference settings in PSE. HELP!
    Camperman1

    In PSE there is a facility "File > process multiple files".
    Using this facility you can actually process multiple files at one go and you can easily rename images.

  • Is there any type of automated shadow effect for text?

    Hi, I've got a 30-second sequence of white text on black background, consisting of about 40-50 individual clips where the text is moving randomly in each clip. Some clips have the text moving left to right some right to left, some diagonally, zooming in or out, all various sizes and movements.
    I'd like to put shadows on each text movement to give it the proper depth, but to manually setup the keyframes to look authentic with all the movement would seems to take an enormous amount of time and work when there might be a simpler method. Is there any automated/faster way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, I'm familiar with the paste attributes, but the problem with using that feature is that the text movement/panning/zooming in each clip is different, so using the shadow movement from one clip won't match up to any other.
    I need it to look authentic, as though it is an actual shadow created by a light on a background. If the text in one clip is moving left to right and increasing in size, the shadow should match. But if I copy that shadow movement to another clip, which might be moving right to left and decreasing in size, the shadow movement would look strange and inaccurate.

  • 1. How do I add CSS effects to a certain element?

    How do I add CSS effects to a certain element?
    There are several effects (like customized hover effects) that I could with CSS. I want to know how do I add the CSS effects for a certain element/object from within Edge animate.

    The way to add css in general is
    sym.$('element').css({
    'Property':'value',
    'Property':'value',
    'Property':'value'

  • I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on.. How do I go about reinstalling on another computer

    I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on..  Can I just go ahead and install on another computer ?

    I don't know what instructions you may have followed, but as long as you "signed out" , then you will be fine.

  • Exporting a PDF for print, the PDF does not show a shadow effect

    I have a drop shadow effect on an EPS object and some type that does not appear when I export the file as a PDF for print. The settings I have it set to are: Adobe PDF Preset: "High Quality Print", Interactive Elements: "Include Appearance", and Color Conversion: "No Color Conversion".
    If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it!

    Will,
    Yes, I set my transparency blending space to CMYK. It didn't work.
    I don't have a particular reason I am using an EPS over AI other than that's the type of file this object (logo) was saved as. I can get an AI. Is there any particular reason you recommend not using an EPS?

  • Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

    I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
    I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
    These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
    I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
    I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
    Is there a better way?

    Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."
