XFCE: background-image with gradient displays incorrect

If I use a desktop-backgroundimage with a gradient, XFCE doesn't display it correct. It looks like if it uses 16bit color depth instead of 24bit. But I can't find anything to check which color depth it uses.
If I open the same image in GIMP, GIMP displays the gradient as it should. It also works in GNOME.

How to fix this?

Yep i have the same problem here ?

Trying to matte a background image with a PNG with transparency / partial transparency

Hello everyone.
Here is the scenario;
I have a PNG sequence rendered from a 3d program. The sequence includes a landscape that is partially transparent and has no background image or color. In the animation, anything that is not the landscape is 100% transparent, while the landscape is partially transparent.
I have a background that I want to put behind the PNG sequence but I don't want the background to be visible through the landscape portion of the sequence, only the portion that is 100% transparent.
I have tried several different methods, but because the landscape is partially transparent, using a track matte (alpha or alpha inverted) or blend mode (like stencil alpha) does not give me the results I am looking for.
What I am looking for is a way to matte (or mask) the background image with only the portion of the PNG that is 100% transparent. That way, the background image will not show through the semi-transparent landscape, but will be visible in the portion that is 100% transparent.
I would like to find a reasonable solution in After Effects as opposed to re-rendering the 3d sequence with the objects being unseen by the camera and the background present. The landscape scene itself took a considerable amount of time to render (120+ hours) and I would like to avoid that kind of delay in my project.
I thank you all in advance for your consideration.

The footage itself is fine, Dave. The 3d application is rendering exactly what it is supposed to render; a semi-transparent landscape on a transparent background, rendered out to 32 bit PNGs.
When I view the frames in Photoshop, they are exactly what I wanted. In the final composition, there are other image elements and pre-rendered objects provided by the client that need to be visible beneath the "ground" and "water", which is why I rendered the landscape as semi-transparent. Normally, I would render with a color background for compositing, but using a color background in this case was tinting the semi-transparent landscape.
I think my track mattes are failing because the images are made up of varying degrees of alpha.
Going back to the 3d application, the only option there would be to re-render a pure alpha pass of the animation. I can test the render time per frame, but I was hoping that there would be an easier solution... the initial landscape animation took 70+ hours to render, using 32 cores and 24 gb of RAM. The pure alpha render shouldn't take anywhere near that long, BUT, if it did, that would not be feasible on my current schedule.
I did find another possible solution by creating a recorded script to batch convert luma images from the PNGs. If the alpha pass proves unworkable, I can always fall back to batching the luma images and using stencil luma.
Thanks for helping me further think this out!

Complete page and css code below (scroll down)
All you should be concerned with at this moment to get the background image to appear in the top level anchor is the css style below:
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
background-color: #000;
background-image: url(../rot.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
I've added the background-postion because presumably you want it to appear flush left. This overides the out-of-the-box setting which positions it 95% far left.
Here is the code and css:

Background Images Do Not Display

Hi --
On this page:
http://www.thelegatogroup.com/test/
I have the DIVs #left and
#right and each has a background image. My problem is that
neither display
either in preview or when live. I can, however, see the
images in DW's
design view.
The DIV #left should display this image:
http://thelegatogroup.com/test/assets/backgrounds/home_piton.jpg;
The DIV #right should display this image:
http://thelegatogroup.com/test/assets/page_elements/divider.jpg
The CSS appears correct and the rules point to the correct
files, the images
are on the server, the page validates, and yet no images.
Can someone take a look and help me see what I'm missing?
Thanks,
John

Good luck! 8)

Assuming these are the images you're trying to display:
.TabbedPanelsTabHover {
          background-image: url(../../SUPEROLDU/images/menubaractive.png);
          background-repeat: repeat-x;
          color: #FFF;
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected {
          background-image: url(../../SUPEROLDU/images/menubaractive.png);
          background-repeat: repeat-x;
          color: #FFF;
          height: 30px;
          width: 116px;
You have 2 root paths in your URL code. I think this is how your file structure looks like on your local computer. However, on a remote server, ../ by itself means you're pointing to the root folder of your website. Your URL linkage should be corrected based on the relativity and your background will work without a problem.

Why PDF's with transparency display incorrectly?

Hi everybody
I used this script ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.html ) to create a magazine based on pdfs but I have a big problem.
The imported pdfs with trasparent elements display incorrectly but only in the vertical position as you can see in the images, in the horizontal and menu, display correctly.
I don't have control of the pdfs because the publisher send it already ready.
I used the v.22 for this pubblication because I can't update the app now but I installed the latest DPS tools.
Thanks in advance for help.

I know this is an old thread but i'd like to answer because it'll be helpful for someone looking for answers like I was today ;-)
This is an expected behavior for a PDF article. PDF Articles only supports transparency effects such as opacity and multiply, blending modes are not supported. However the same content if uploaded as a PNG/JPEG article should work fine.
It's also documented in this best practices document here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays

Random background-image with PHP

I would like to have random images as background-images on a
page. So I
made a rotate.php ("SELECT picsid, picsurl FROM pics WHERE
picsite =
'home' ORDER BY MD5(RAND()) limit 1") with
<img src="<?php echo $row_rsimages['picsurl']; ?>"
alt="" />
Then I put the following rule into the css-file:
#pics {
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(banner.php);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
Finally I inserted a div called #pics on the index.php and
previewed the
page, and - you are right ;) - the images are not displayed.
Where have I failed?

In several places.
1. Presumably banner.php is the page that you earlier refer
to as
rotate.php. The name should be the same.
2. It looks as though you're trying to use an <img> tag
to display a
background image. That won't work.
3. If you want banner.php to display an image, you need to
send the
correct MIME header and stream the image as a download.
// code to select the image
$filepath = '/home/mysite/htdocs/images/'; // path to image
folder
$image = $filepath.$row_rsimages['picsurl'];
if (file_exists($image) && is_readable($image)) {
$size = filesize($image);
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
header('Content-length: '.$size);
$file = @fopen($image, 'rb');
if ($file) {
fpassthru($file);
It's actually a lot simpler to do everything in the same
page.
Put the recordset at the top of the page to select the random
image.
Then put the style block in the head of the document:
<style type="text/css">
#pics {
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(<?php echo $row_rsimages['picsurl'];
?>);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
</style>

I'm just trying to show a simple jpg in the Background Layer and it does not seem to work! I really need this for my diploma and i do not know where i made the mistake and it is compiling without errors!! Yet the picture is not shown.. Could somebody help me please? Any answer would be very helpful for me for i don't know what to do anymore..I am testing my Xlets with XletView 3.6..
Here is the code i tried:
public class BackgroundImage extends HComponent implements Xlet, Runnable{

Sorry, i forgot about that..

          HBackgroundConfiguration backconfig;
          backconfig = backdevice.getBestConfiguration(
               backgroundConfigurationTemplate);
          if (backdevice.reserveDevice(this))
               try

                    System.out.println("Can't initialise the background device");
                    backdevice.releaseDevice();
                    return false;
               if(backconfig instanceof HStillImageBackgroundConfiguration)
                    this.backconfig = (HStillImageBackgroundConfiguration)backconfig;
                    this.backdevice = backdevice;
                    return true;
               else
                    backdevice.releaseDevice();
          return false;
     public void dispose()

Background image no longer displays

I have been editing the same site for years. Today when I
opened Contribute and selected a page to edit, the background image
did not appear in the draft. The background was gray instead. I
tried changing the background to a color as an experiment and it
won't change. Its stuck on this gray color. I am afraid to edit the
page and upload the changes.
The web site appears normally in safari. I tried editing
other pages on the site and the same thing happens on those pages
too.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The background displays fine in Contribute CS3, so I assume
you have CS4.
I guess it has something to do with the way Contribute
handles the setting of the background.
Your doctype declaration is <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">.
In that version of html it's not allowed to have a background
attribute in a td tag.
Most of the times browsers do not punish you for these
mistakes, but since standards ar marching on, maybe they will be
less forgiving in future. Apparently Contribute CS4 does punish
this mistake.
You should solve this by using css to style your html
documents. Or just ignore this as long as you can edit the site and
it displays OK in the browsers.

Background image is not displaying in all views

I'm developing a site where in one particular page a background image displays in Live View, but not in IExplore. This image is used in other pages with no problem. In Browser Lab the page displays correctly in IE8, FF and Safari. Should I be concerned? The whole site isn't working in IE6 & 7 but that I'll have to address that later. Here's the css:
#mainImage{
    background: url(images/main_bkgrnd_blk.jpg);
    background-position: center top;
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    width: 875px;
    height:788px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    position: relative;

When you say it does not display in IExplore where are you checking that, on your computer and which version of IE?
If you have checked the page in Browser Lab and it displays ok then I would not worry, but it slightly concerns me that it's not showing in your local version of IE?
For what's its worth I would'nt bother with IE6 (it's practically dead) but you must address the issues in IE7.

Responsive Background Images with Media Queries

Hello,
I'm creating a mobile website in Dreamweaver and would like to use an image which will change with different device widths. I'm using media queries with background images. My problem is that in order for the background images to display, I need to assign a height to the div. When the image is scaled down the height stays static, leaving white space beneath it. There will be content below the image so the white space will push it down and look wrong. Is there a way to use multiple images with media queries keeping the height responsive? Thank you!
@media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
#mainImage {
          background-image: url(../images/mainImageLarge.jpg);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: center top;
          background-size: 100%;
          height: 272px;
          border-top-width: 3px;
          border-top-style: solid;
          border-top-color: #FFF;
@media only screen and (max-width : 480px) {
#mainImage {
          background-image: url(../images/mainImageMed.jpg);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: center top;
          background-size: 100%;
          height: 107px;
          border-top-width: 3px;
          border-top-style: solid;
          border-top-color: #FFF;
@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
          #mainImage img {
          background-image: url(../images/mainImageSmall.jpg);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: center top;
          background-size: 100%;
          height: 150px;
          border-top-width: 3px;
          border-top-style: solid;
          border-top-color: #FFF;

Like this example:
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid-4.html
METHOD:
Insert 2 images -- one for desktops and one for mobile. Assign classes to each image.
<img id="banner" class="desktop" src="desktop_image.jgp" />
<img id="banner" class="mobile" src="mobile_image.jpg"/>
In your CSS, use display:none and display:block to show/hide.
.desktop {
    display:block;
.mobile {
    display:none;
/* Special Rules for mobiles */
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    .desktop {display:none}
    .mobile {display:block}
Feel free to set your break points however you wish.

Background images are not displayed (CSS, other images ok

I tried clearing cache, looked at about:config for weird configurations, did a private browser window and disabled all extensions. None of these had any effect.
Test pages: Amazon.com and https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/cssref/background-image.html - both of these pages have background images loaded by CSS. For example, Amazon's logo at the top left is a background loaded from a CSS page. The image itself can be viewed raw:
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/gno/sprites/global-sprite-v1._V339353059_.png
So can this image:
https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/cssref/images/starsolid.gif
But why, why why do these images display on their relevant webpage? I see Amazon, eBay, and many other websites without a full complement of images. Especially the ones used for menus and other important navigation buttons.
Here is what I see on the Mozilla page mentioned above: I see the text, but no repeating star image. This works in other browsers and on other computers in Firefox.
The page I am typing on right now has no blue background, the entry windows are not correct (like the search window is not a rounded gray box) and the search magnifying glass is missing. So this experience makes even simple pages impossible to use.
Firefox 32, Vista

You did make sure that there isn't a high contrast theme selected in Windows like I posted above?

Adding a background image with HTML?

Just a quick one. Want to add a background image to the html
of a flash site so the background image can scale and the content
of the flash site not scale. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks all!

You can place the image in flash. Flash has onResize handler
which in conjunction with
listener, can detect the changes in stage, scale movie to
fill the window while preventing
other content from scaling. This is very common, when we
resize background to fill window
but hold the content intact. Try to search the forum for
"onResize". That's the only case,
in most posts, where we deal with the exact same issue as the
one you looking for.

Dynamically swap background image with mouseover

Hello, I need some help with this menu file. My inspiration was a post of Resdesign.
I want to make a rollover that swap the background image for each button.
I tried a lot of methods but I cant find the solution (please check line 111).
Here is my file:
WeTransfer
Thanks a lot!
alex from argentina

Thanks Preran for your answer but I can´t find the way to implement the solution in that post.
I tried this:
// mouseover swap background
sym.$('#newBtn'+i).mouseover(function(){
sym.$("#newBtn"+i).css({'background-image':'url("images/fover.jpg")'});
//sym.getSymbol("#newBtn"+i).$('background').attr('src',info[i].backo);
Thanks!

Dreamweaver CS4 Live View - background-image does not display

I'm teaching a basic Dreamweaver CS4 class, and one of my students happened upon a unique problem.
Although the students were not required to use LiveView for their assignment, the student noticed that when he clicked the LiveView button to look at his assignment, that the background-image property that he set on the #header DIV does not display.
I tried duplicating his problem by building a similar site to his, using the exact same Dreamweaver Starter Page he used, but I'm not able to reproduce it the problem. If I define a new site using the files the student sent me, the problem comes back.
I'm completely stumped. What could possibly be causing the background-image CSS property to stop rendering in Live View?
Thanks for any help at all!

Check your students css code for invalid or missing mark-up, or linking to the background image. Another possible problem, (occurs on some sites but not all) is to check if the url is enclosed in quotes as these are occasionally required but not always, also check for spaces in file names
e.g. - background-image: url(../images/yourimage.jpg); should work but occasional requires quotes as in - background-image: url("../images/yourimage.jpg");
