html_select_time select boxes with white space between them - smarty

When I use {html_select_time} it shows the select boxes for time, but there is a white space between them.
I know that select boxes have to really next to eachother without enters or spaces, but how can I do that here?

for Smarty V2 you can use negative margin,
for Smarty V3 you might try field_separator="" attribute

How to add patterns or stripes to SSRS data cells instead of a color

IN SSRS:
I can only add Solid color fills to the data cells inside a matrix.
How do I add Stripes or Patterns as background fill instead of a solid color.
Is there a particular color code like '#xxxx' for stripes?
There are certain rows in my report that need to have stripes or patterns as backgrou fill.
Thanks
I have found some methods around this:
1- You can use image gradients to fill text boxes by right-clicking the cell and selecting text box properties. You can use the Fill tab to select a small image or item that has a gradient or pattern and apply it within your cell(s)/report.
2 - Another approach is to use a combination of Font/Color/Bold/Italic/Underline and Boarder colors/weight to achieve your desired result.
3 - Apply a gradient-style scheme to your report by using one or more colors and dynamically changing the hue as you go up or down the report. That way, the top could be darker than the bottom, or vis-versa.
I hope this helps.
Numerous fonts can be used.
Open the Character Map
Select Arial in the Font drop down
Scroll to near the bottom, select the cross character
Hit the Select button a number of times, grab as many characters as the SSRS textbox may require to fill its width
Click copy
In SSRS select the textbox then Ctrl-P to paste
Experiment with font size and font color to get the desired effect
Setting padding to zero may help
Setting row CanGrow to False may help
I find there is a little gap between cells vertically but it is close to perfect for me. There is likely to be a character in Arial or another font that works even better.

Why am I getting three dots in Auto Layout?

I tried doing auto layout but I keep on getting three dots. How do I fix this?
Screen shot of how it looks below.
Just pinned both edges to 0 to get max width for label regarding screen sizes...and still content is too long then it displays 3 dots as per option truncate tail...For that you have to make a font size bit smaller or make multiline label...

Spacing Issues between textboxs and expressions

In the design everything look fine(pic 1), but when I preview the report, somehow there are the inconsistent gap between labels and expressions (pic 2); ex DOB. Some have more space, and some are very close to labels.
How can I fix the spacing issues?
My guess is it has to do with the anchoring of the various text boxes. When you move them about the report, you'll see anchoring lines and tooltips popping up that say "5px", etc. Some of those text boxes must have been inadvertantly anchored to other report items.
I'd suggest putting each row of report items into its own rectangle, see if that helps.

Conditional color change in a chart

Is it possible to create a bar chart with red colour when the values are negative and green colour when the values are positive? Is Conditional formatting within a chart in iReport possible?
If so, could anyone suggest a way to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I know this is old but maybe someone needs it. Paste a green chart in one group and paste a red chart in another group( changeing the series color).
Of course both charts are connected to the same query. Then in the print expression of each group check like if (num<0) print this group, then in the other group header's print expression check if (num>0) print this group
I'll go with #Rika
I don't think there is a way to that, 'cuz since the graph is a whole object you don't get to get access to them bars individually. iReport has some limitations, u know.

is there built-in way to make DevExpress XtraGrid GridView column headers/captions diagonal to save horizontal space?

I have a whole bunch of very narrow columns in a DevExpress GridView and I want to save on column header width by making the caption text (which is too wide even at 3-4 letter abbreviations) slanted / diagonal. Well, so I guess I could get rid of text captions and replace them with pictures of diagonal text, at least if GridView will allow sufficient height for the header.
Is there any built-in way to just display the rotated text without going the image way? I don't think I am the first programmer out there trying to squeeze out horizontal space like that, so this doesn't sound like an outlandish thing to support in a popular grid component :-)
If not, and so I do have to use an image for column header, any relevant suggestions or warnings?
XtraGrid does not provide a built in functionality to show column header captions this way. However, this can be done within the CustomDrawColumnHeader event handler. We have posted a tutorial showing how this can be done. By default, it should be located at:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress 2010.2 Demos\Components\WinForms\XtraGrid\CS\GridTutorials\GridVerticalHeaders
NOTE, as this feature is implemented using custom draw. It means that this text is only painted this way. Custom drawn text won't be exported or printed.
