User's background image

Hi. Is there any way an AIR app can access the user's system to change the current desktop's background image to use a different image file? Thanks for any help.

Thanks Neobox75.
I'll check into using native apps. I like the idea of targeting both Windows and Mac and this idea could do both.

7965 Not Loading Background images

I am trying to load a 7965 with a new background image.
Running CME 9.1 and the phone registers with no issues.
My png files are loaced in flash:/Desktops/320x216x16 with the following List.xml file.
CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:/Desktops/320x216x16/TN-map2.png" URL="TFTP:/Desktops/320x216x16/map2.png"/>
</CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
When I go into the phone and select User Preferences/Background Images, debug shows that the phone TFTPs the List.xml file but is all stops there.
Not sure what is going on but I can get to the files from web access and TFTP.
Any ideas?

Stand Corrected...
It is a 7975G. Have fixed the problem yet not sure why....
It was definitely in the List.xml file although I can't see what has changed.
I wound up downloading a List.xml file from another system and modifying it and it works...
A little frustrating but perhaps there were some hidden characters that I did not see.

How do I change the blurred background image on the Select User Screen

I have changed the desktop image on all of my users, as well as the screen savers. However, when I logout of one user and the screen where you select another user comes up, there is an image on the background of this particular screen that I cannot figure out how to change.
This is crucial because I do not want to see my crazy, abusive ex-wife every time I select a different user...even if it is a blurred image.
This blurred out image does not appear anywhere else on any of the different user accounts as a background/desktop image.
How do I change this background image?
Please help.

This seems to be a bug that goes away w/ 10.10.1
Yosemite login screen possible bug
"if I put my Mac in sleep mode, when I wake up it, the password request screen uses the default Yosemite wallpaper in blurred mode instead of the wallpaper I have chosen for my desktop."
or maybe not:
"And it still happens after the 10.10.1 update."
This seems to work.
"The only way I was able to fix this problem was to go Mission Control and close all extra desktops I was using except Desktop 1 (which you cannot delete if it is the last one). After deleting the extra desktops besides Desktop 1, I went into preferences and set my wallpaper. Once I complete both of these steps I returned to the login screen. The wallpaper I used for Desktop 1 was now my background for the login screen. Hope this helps."

Page background image can't be seen by certain users

hi! i'm using portal v3.0.9.8.3 and oracle db v8.1.7.0
i've created a page style with background image. I applied the page style to a page i created and assign some users to this default page.
problem is only some users can see the page with background image. they are have the same security settings and rights. but if i change the color of the tab, all users can see this change.
any suggestions?
thx.

You may already know, browsers always cache css/images/js files. So if you would like to force browser to download new version of the files, you need to updated reference of the files using some kind of query string "http://server/test.css?version=XXX",
where on every updated you update the version 'XXX' to some new value. Usually we do this using some kind of programmatic approach - for example in my project I update the css/images/js links using the dll/assemlby modified date. So that every time I deploy
a new sharepoint solution, the files urls get changed.

User in unable to change background image/theme

Hello,
I am currently working with a user who is unable to change is background image it only shows a black background. He is currently on Windows 7 Enterprise Edition
We have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Ran full system scan with no results
2. Ran sfc /scannow
3. Ran diskchk
4. Copied over new TranscodedWallpaper.jpg
5. Checked Power Options - Checked desktop background settings - expaneded slideshow and made sure Plugged in option is set to Available
6. Checked that Remove Background images is not selected in Ease of Access Center
We go not have a group policy set to disable the changing of the wallpaper and he is the only user with this issue.
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. Source:

Thank you,

Hi sshah210,
Try this registry key method .
Navigate to the following path :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
Choose a picture path and configure it .
If the issue persists , I agree with S.Sengupta.We can create another account to have a check .

Can I design a web page to use the background image from the user's installed persona?

I build web applications, and I would like to have an application use the background image from whatever persona the visitor has installed, if any. Is this possible, using css/js/html?

No that is not possible with code on web pages (userContent.css could probably do this).<br />
The persona is only used as the background for the user interface (toolbar) area and not for websites.<br />
The dimensions of the persona with the height of 200px is also not enough to cover a page.

IPhone: Accessing the user's lock screen background image

Hi there,
does anybody know if it is possible to access the image that a user has set as the background image that is displayed when he/she locks the screen?
Would be very interesting to know.
I appreciate any insights.
Yours,
Felix

Hi,
First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

In linux, saving a background image (set as Desktop)feature doesnt download my image to wallpaper folder..or even to standard "Save download" feature. Can I tell firefox where (what folder) to save my "Set as Desktop" picture?

When I find a suitable picture to use as wallpaper" I often right click and use the menu item "Set as Desktop Background". The file ""example.jpg" is saved in directory\folder "/home/user" rather than for example "/home/user/my wallpaper" or in the directory
"/home/user/Downloads". The latter as being set under the "Downloads" section on the "General" tab in the "Preferences" dialog box.
Is there a configuration file where I can change the default location to save my "Set as Desktop Background" images. Or better still can the menu be customized to launch the application that allows me to set my desktop wallpapers?
I am using the "PCLinuxOS" Linux OS but I have encountered this issue in many if not all the Linux distributions I have sampled.

Don't use "Set as Desktop". Use ''' "Save Image As..." ''' instead, and file it with your other "wallpaper" images so the operating system has access to those images.
IIRC, Firefox saves a "desktop image" to the Profile folder, and it will only save one image, at that. Change the image and the previous one is gone.

Washed out background image on Treo Pro

Hi:
When I set my background image on my today screen (check the box in settings, browse to image - use 320x320 resolution) I get a "washed out" version of the image regardless of its original color, tone or intensity. Images from the preinstalled themes are fine - vibrant and clear - but the user set images are very light (almost like a 50 percent transparency in Photoshop for example). I have tried both .jpg format and .png. Backlight settings do not cure this either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Bell)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Again:
Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the options for setting background and transparency levels is found through the pictures and videos explorer not the file explorer.
As suggested I have set the transparency to 0 and the image (Crab Nebula through the Hubble space telescope) is as bright and vibrant as it should be.
Thanks again for the direction - it's much appreciated.

Firefox 4.0: Improper handling of Animated Gif background-image

FF 4.0 is giving erratic and incorrect displays of an animated gif on a project I am working on. I have prepared a very small sample that demonstrates the problem.
The problem occurs when an animated gif is used as the background-image for a div (it may also be true when used as a background-image for the body, but I have not tested that).
When a page is first loaded, the animated gif displays properly.
I would expect that the animation be displayed as animated either:
# On each page load
# On a page load with new session or when the image is removed from cache prior to loading the page. Otherwise the last frame of the image would show
The sample page is designed to test this.
IE: Behaved as in #1, i.e. the image was animated on each and every page load. (IE 8: 8.0.6001....)
Google Chrome: Behaved as in #2, i.e. the image is animated only when there is a new session or when the image is no longer in cache. (Version 10.0.648.204)
FF 3.6.8: Slightly strange, but acceptable.
* The image is animated on new session and on any reload button.
* The last frame is displayed if the location is reentered in the URL bar.
* The last frame is displayed if the back/forward navigation buttons are used.
* SOMETIMES the image is animated and sometimes the last frame is displayed when the change page button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
FF 4.0: Just plain NOT acceptable
* Correctly animates the image on page load for new session
* Correctly animates the image on reload button following clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the reload button is pressed.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the URL is reentered from the URL bar.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if theURL is reentered from the URL bar after clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page) after clearing the item from cache.
All of these tests were run with Windows XP-Pro (all service packs and updates applied).
I can find no clear specification as to what ''should'' happen with pages using animated gifs that are already loaded.
* I can conceive of rationales for always displaying with animation.
* I can also conceive of rationales for sometimes displaying the last frame, especially if the same page is being reloaded since many sites reload the same page in response to user form submissions.
# '''I can see no rationale for displaying the first frame of the gif and would suggest that this is a bug. '''

Can be this bug:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641198 Bug 641198] – Rollover animated gif show only one frame.
You can try these nightly test builds to see if they behave better:
Fx5.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora
Fx6.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

How to block changes of desktop background image

I manage a 30-computer Mac lab in a public high school and I would like to prevent users from changing the desktop background image.
As far as I know, there are two ways to change the desktop background image: through System Preferences and by right-clicking an image and selecting Set Desktop Picture.
Blocking System Preferences is easily done through Parental Controls.
But how do I prevent the right-click, Set Desktop Picture method of changing the desktop image?
You can imagine the kinds of images that end up as desktop backgrounds in a high school computer lab.

You might try going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. In the left pane select Services, then uncheck the item "Set Desktop Picture" under Pictures in the right pane. Once that's done, block that prefs pane.

Won't display background image in browser.

My background image displays in dreamweaver and in the live view but it doesn't display in the browser when I try to view in a browser or when I publish the website. I have spend hours looking for a solution and I am not sure what the problem is. I have checked the code on the following websites and it comes out ok:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator
http://validator.w3.org/check
I have also tried my code with and without the overflow: hidden; under #container where the image should be displayed. (i was trying a new way to design -ie without basic grid and floating everything so the container can be removed if needed)
here is my code. Please help!!! thank you in advance!!!

In regard to the files you currently have on your server, the links to your Spry menu files are still pointing to your local computer. This is caused when a site has not yet been defined in Site Manager, so DW is forced to link them locally.
To fix your page, just go into code view and remove the part of the link path that I have underlined and made BOLD.

How to create a background image for each item in a List object

Hello.
I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list. For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list. The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image. I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below. When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background.
I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions.
Thank you for your help. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
You have to do two things:
1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.

How to load a background Image on a JDialog object

Hi All, Actually i am new to java programing and i am stuck in this problem. I am developing a java application which is dialog based (using JDialog objects) and i want to load a background image on my dialog. I hope this could be done and i really appreciate your help because i must deliver this project and this is a user interface requirement.

Try something along the lines of this: Create a new class called BackgroundImagePanel and have it extend JPanel.
Have an attribute in the class for your image, and a method to set it.
Override isOpaque() to return true.
Override the paintComponenet method as such:
public void paintComponent (Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if( image == null ) return;
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
icon.paintIcon(this, g, x, y);
Add this panel to your JDialog and then add other component to this panel.
You might have to tweak this a bit, but it should get you close...

Background images are not rendering while they are in all other browsers.

Firefox is having problems with certain .jpg images that I have uploaded to a hosting service.
(Ex: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3991/hbbgardenorangepop3.jpg)
When you set this image as your web page's background image, the image will not be rendered. However, if you go directly to the URL, the image will be rendered (except in the Beta release, where the image won't even render when you go to the URL directly).
However, if you go to ANY other browser, the image is rendered correctly (both when you go directly to the URL and when you use the image as your background).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.125 Safari/533.4

I assume that you want to add that image as a background on web pages.
How are you adding that background image?
Are you using code in userContent.css ?
If that is the case then please post the code, otherwise provide the steps so we can check what goes wrong.
