How do I get a white background with black lines

How do I get a white background with black lines and characters on my screen. To run the program, copy it out and delete the ` and it should go. If it does not compile on your machine, I would like to know. There is a test on about line 34 for changing the colors.

How do I get a white background with black lines and characters on
my screen.Contrary to what you might think, the linebIG2.setBackground(Color.white);does not give the buffered image a white background. The API docs
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html#setBackground(java.awt.Color)
say: "Setting the background color in the Graphics2D context only
affects the subsequent clearRect calls... " So adding a line to your
if blocks we getif (false) {
    bIG2.setBackground(Color.white);
    bIG2.clearRect(0, 0, buIm.getWidth(), buIm.getHeight());
if (false) {
    bIG2.setColor(Color.black);
}Changing the false to true results in a white background (and black
X and text).

How to change white background with text to transparent background

Good afternoon,
I have a jpg file (part of our logo) white background with black text and I would like to change it to transparent background and keep the black text (to be able to insert it on a cup image).
I tried to change it in photoshop, however, when I slide the "opacity" and "fill", the text got ligther as well.
Do I need to have the original psd.file to be able to do that, or can you please lead me through with jpg file? (I tried to save the jpg to psd and png, but it did not help.)
I looked on one of your videos, but I could not find one of the features under "Select" tab.
My plan is to recreate the text to have the transparent background if necessary (It would be great if I can avoid that). However, how do I find out which font was originaly used? Does photoshop has this feature, or do I need to go trough each of the font one-by-one?
My last question is, how do I change space between letters (to have them more tight. I am not able to find it.
Thank you for your help,
Klara

If you can get teh original PSD file get it, your task will be a lot easier.
I suspect that won't be an option to you.
If you know what fonts are being used, that also would be of benefit to you. In other word remake it using your image as a template.
If it going over an image, then a multiply blend might work for you.
All that fails then you are down to removing the white background. The problem this option is it will not look as good due to the thin lines on the fonts. But essentially, Load the image into photoshop, make sure the layer isnt locked, then try the magic eraser tool on the white background, bam it'll disappear, but leave the white inside the O white you will have to do seperately.
Messing with levels will help you with more of the white. Myself i'd rebuild it using the fonts.

How do i change the white background with the new ios7?

I just upgraded my iPad mini to iOS7 and now my videos are not titled, or the letters are white and are invisible against the new white background. How can I change this??

It is rediculous,
up to IOS6 the iPhone was a perfect device for someone with low vision, well structured, good contrast and readable fonts.
But things got "improved". What a pitty that Apple has given away that benefit for a lightweight design which reduces ergonomics drastically. Now IOS is SW where design dominates usability.
Yes, you can use larger fonts, yes, you can use fat fonts but that does not change the keyboard layout.
It startet in IOS6 with the update of the keypad for the phone application (thin black keys on a flashing white background) and is continued with the vision unfriendly design from IOS7.
Please, have the flashing white background configurable so a structuring reappears or have the background configurable to white or black.

White background with swf export

How can I apply a swf file created in InDesign into my web page without the white background coming with it. I'm using CS6.
I'm selecting transparent background when exporting. This is so annoying.

When you export the swf there should be an HTML container in the same destination folder. If you view that HTML file in a browser do you get what you expect?
If you are moving the swf to another HTML page make sure the embed code parameters match. So in the boilerplate HTML ID creates the body tag and the embed parameters both have bgcolor as #999999:
When you move the swf make sure the div tag that encloses the swf has the same bcolor style color as the embed code's bgcolor

You can't change it within the OS. There may be some apps which will do it. Search Dock on MacUpdate.
But all these types of haxies come with possible risk.

How do I make a photo background which is in two colours into one of the present colours, e.g. I have a predominantly white background with a small area of brown around a particularly nice photo of an iris?

How do I get the background of a photo which is predominantly white, but has some brown area, all white? The photo is of an iris but the top part of the flower is 'absorbed' into the brown background? Help, please. Groan

By using an image-manipulation tool such as Adobe's Photoshop, Flying Meat's Acorn, or the open-source GIMP package, or similar. There are various other packages around.
Now if you're looking for help with a specific package and not for the general sort of package that would be required, then you'll want to identify which image-manipulation tool you're using. (And also consider checking with the forums specific to that tool; most organizations have some sort of FAQ or Wiki or documentation for the particular package.)

Is there a way for mac os 10.8 to become a white background with black text in dockmenu like it was in os x 10.5?

the black dockmenu which was introduced with os x 10.6 is difficult to read for me, i would back the white version which was used in os x 10.5.
is this possible or would it eventually possible under os 10.8.2 or a newer version?
thanks

If firefox starts, the startingpage (whitch is google) shows up for a few seconds, and then go away, and i get a white background with nothing on

Firefox is gisteren beginnen raar doen, je opent de browser, de startpagina komt er 2 seconden op, en dan verdwijnt die, ik krijg dan een wit scherm, en het is zo bij elke pagina die ik open, (facebook, youtube....) Wat kan dit probleem zijn?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

5s iPhone has white background with Apple logo in the middle

5s not recognized by my computer has white screen turning blue white blue

Usually this means there is hardware damage or jailbreaking, and the phone requires funeral arrangements, but you can try recovery mode and restore as described here:

Why there is suddenly a white background with an apple-like when you turn? but it takes a few seconds

Help please! iPad is new and i love it so much!

If the iPad is rebooting then no, that isn't normal. If it's just Safari that it's happening in then try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History, and also close Safari via the iPad's taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Then do a soft-reset to see if it then works properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then try backing up the iPad and then restore that backup back onto it. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy your downloads over to your computer's iTunes library, and then do File > Devices > Back Up to take a backup (you should also take your own copy of any important documents and/or photos ; they should be included in the backup but it's best to have your own copy as well), and then restore to that backup via File > Devices > Restore From Back Up (your iTunes downloads aren't included in the actual backup, instead the restore picks them up from your iTunes library, which is why you need to do the Transfer Purchases).
