I'm using an cartoonish icons for system users and I noticed that when the background is transparent in the file, it gets ugly black in CRM on the form. So I made it obliquely white, which resolved the problem half way through. The other half is that the sucker looks as the image below shows.
Can it be resolved somehow or do I just need to get used to it and live with it?
Dynamics CRM doesn't support transparent PNGs for the entityimage field.
The ugly alternative is to use the bar color (#002050) as background of your images.
EDIT: in case you want to have fun with the entityimage field and a webcam, check my tool

So I have a programming project that I have to do for my school. What I have to do is setup a 2 player dice game. I could have gone the easy way and just display the number of the 2 die, but I was thinking of using images that I made in photoshop instead. However, the problem is that I do not know how to change images in an efficient way.
My first option is using the visibility tag on several images laid on top of eachother and change it accordingly as such
image1.visible = false
image2.visible = true
However, I do not think that is very efficient. Images also do not support changing the image with code from my research.
Secondly, I could use a PictureBox instead, which do support changing the image as the program is running. However, it does not support transparency, and the die images are transparent. Plus it gives me the invalid image file error, I guess due to the transparency in the gif files.
There is also the cheap workaround of me making the background of the images the same as the form background.
So is there a more efficient way I am missing out? I know that the cheap workaround would be the best option for this case, but I would like to have this knowledge for future use like semi-transparent pixels that blend in and such.
And before you ask, no, I cannot use another programming language as visual basic 6 is what my school teaches. Thankfully they are changing it soon, but I am stuck with this for now.
Turns out you CAN change the pictures of Images, while keeping transparency and stretch. I am going to properly show it:
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("YOURPATHHERE.gif")
This is what I get for believing what I've seen on some forum.
Also, the error of invalid image file was due to the images being corrupted for some reason.
I'm trying to display an Adaptive Card in MS Teams using the C# .NET Core code for TeamsMessagingExtensionsSearch.
I'd like to know how I can change the background color of my Adaptive Card and if there is a way I can change the color and appearance of Buttons (OpenURL) and the font type in the TextBlock.
I've read about doing it using setHostConfig, but I'm not sure where in my code I can set it.
I tried changing the background color display in the card using "backgroundImage": "https://www.beautycolorcode.com/abcdef.png" , this changes the background color, but when I paste my card in the message , I see that there is a top header that contains the App Name and App Icon that get added to the card(from the App Manifest) that are displayed with a white background. I'm specifying the same accent color for my backgroundImage and in the manifest.json. Please let me know what I may be doing wrong here.
this is a question that comes up quite often.
Im afraid the answer is no, you can't change fonts or colors. One big part of Adaptive Cards is that the host (in this case MS Teams) decides the look and feel of cards. You can set colors in a limited way if you choose the danger, accent, warning etc colors but you can't change the colorcode directly. The actual color for lets say danger is picked by the host you're sending the card to.
You can set a background as you've done in your example but that still isn't a real "background color" its just an image used as card background.
The "setHostConfig" part you are talking about can only be used if you are rendering the card yourself. If you want to know which things are customizable if you're the host yourself, have a look here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/adaptive-cards/rendering-cards/host-config

I am working on a Xamarin App compatible with all devices. I have a general question related to images. I am using Location Mark Image Icons to provide locations available on the Map. My issue is, Image has a white background which is also showing along with its background. I want to show only the Image.
Is this related to the designer to provide the image without background? Or as a developer, I can do something on it.
Xamarin.Forms doesn't delete your white background. What you need to do is following a small tutorial on how to use Adobe Photoshop for example and export your images as png, you might even consider which png type you need, there's 3 types of png:
png8
png24
png32
I won't be going deep in explaining each one of them, but you need to know that they all support transparency and could have a transparent background, however, you might notice some differences between them on the edges.
For example, png8 will give a small white border while png24 will not show that.
You can check this for example: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/optimizing-images-png-24-format.html
No, you can't do anything about it using Xamarin.Forms. You need to modify the image and remove the background (using Adobe Photoshop, etc.) and make sure to save it as .png.
If its simple white background you want to remove, You can utilise simple [MakeTransparent][1] method ofBitMap.
But this will remove all white coloured pixel. So IF your logo also contains white color, better you contact your designer.
I have a question and i am confused what strategy i should choose to solve this.
Here is the description.
I have a gallery which is managed on user authentication.
Next I have basically a simple form which saves quotes into database.
Selecting an image from gallery it is opened in a canvas. I am using Adobe Creative SDK.
Here is the demonstration image.
Next i have to select(copy) text from database to add(paste) in text field but i have no idea how to do it.
This is the task i have to do for a client. I have never seen a similar example. This is seems unique. Please provide some suggestion on doing it.
Adobe Creative SDK's editor will not allow you to pre-populate text on an image so it's out of the question for this task. You could probably find a way to overlay text on top of the Adobe editor, but then the issue with saving the image rears its head.
If you don't need any of the other editing tools, you could simply create a canvas with the image, overlay the text and allow the user to choose the font, position the text, apply stamps, etc...
Once they're done, wire up a save button to post the field with the contents of canvas.toDataURL('image/png') and have something server-side to save it.
It will be more work than using someone else's widget, but the client will be in control of their own destiny (and have a working product which they wouldn't have before).
Keep it simple and build from there.
I added image to canvas element, but visitor than can save that image to local comp.
Is there any way to disable that option? I don't know, putting some transparent image over?
Thx
So i thought this can help you just disable rightclicks:
$('#canvas').bind("contextmenu",function(e){
return false;
});
None of this (not even image slicing) stops a user from simply copying the screen on to the clipboard and pasting it into MSpaint or any other image utility, and saving the result. Its trivial to do; And a transparency image is no impediment to this.
The only effective options that I know of are (as was said), watermarking or low quality.
*Avoid 1 pixel wide lines or dot watermarks that can be removed easily with a Photoshop filter.
~If its commercial... You could have a pay-wall, and steganographically embed the purchaser's name and or information into the image (or preview), such that if it does get used without permission, at least you know who did it.
Basicly: if your image is loaded by the Browser you can never protect the user to download it, because if the browser knows where to find the image, the user can find this out as well. So all this download protection only works for users not familiar with computers and the internet and nowadays i think most people are able to download such an image if they really want to.
If you want to prevent users to use your images for their work, you can use images with watermarks or in a lower resolution otherwise can you tell what reason do you have to prevent users from downloading?
I found this question in review of an HTML5 captcha alternative I'm developing. My goal is not to "prevent" users from downloading the image as much as blocking OCR on the image capture. To prevent it, I added a onclick event to the canvas object that resets the canvas element on click. The user can "download" it, but it no longer is the original code presented.
