Developing a Firefox Add-on. Anyone can please help to figure out how to make a Panel transparent.
Here is the code to show a panel:
var panel = require("sdk/panel").Panel({
width: 570,
height: 250,
contentURL: require("sdk/self").data.url("test.html")
});
panel.show();
I found a solution, but it isn't pretty since sdk/panel.js doesn't seem to expose the raw Panel object in order to tweak/extend or compose a another Panel from the existing one.
Here goes:
(1) Get the source for sdk/panel.js here: panel.js (raw) or from within sdk folder found in your addon xpi.
(2) Add it to your addon package as a new file.
(3) Change the requires parameters of this cloned file (lines 16-24) so that they point to the correct location from your addon.
example:
change
const { validateOptions: valid } = require('./deprecated/api-utils');
to
const { validateOptions: valid } = require('sdk/deprecated/api-utils');
(4) Find line 137, and modify the variable css to your liking. Like so:
...
let css = [
".panel-inner-arrowcontent, .panel-arrowcontent {padding: 0;}", //original css rule
".panel-inner-arrowcontent, .panel-arrowcontent {opacity: 0.50; border-radius: 0.35in;}" //additional css rules: semi-transparent panel with rounded borders.
].join(" ");
...
(5) Use the modified version of panel.js instead of the one that came with the sdk.
That should be it. Like I said, it isn't particularly elegant.

I'm trying to use a cursive font in puppeteer-sharp for a signature. Puppeteer seems to ignore the font family when assigned. Ex:
.signature { font-family: 'Brush Script MT', cursive; }
Here are my PdfOptions:
var stream = await page.PdfStreamAsync(new PdfOptions
{
Format = PaperFormat.A4,
MarginOptions = new MarginOptions
{
Top = "0px",
Right = "0px",
Bottom = "0px",
Left = "0px"
},
PrintBackground = true,
});
I've confirmed that it's not the code itself because if I run the html in a browser, the cursive font works as expected. Does anyone have any idea on how or if it's possible to get cursive to work? I imagine I'm missing something.
So I figured this out and there are two approaches to my issue. I am running a Docker container in Debian and it doesn't have this particular font installed.
Solution 1:
Download and install Brush Script MT from a trusted site.
Copy the ttf file to /usr/local/share/fonts inside your DockerFile.
Ex:
COPY ["font.ttf", "./usr/local/share/fonts/font.ttf"]
RUN fc-cache
For more information see this URL: https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts#Adding_fonts
Solution 2:
This is the lazier route and the route I took. Find a Google Font like the
cursive one and use that instead.
Go to https://fonts.google.com/ and find the font that matches to what you
need.
Reference the font.
Ex:
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cookie' rel='stylesheet'>
.signature {
font-family: 'Cookie';
}
Anyone got a tip how to add a View over the current view (modal)? I'm creating an app with a video recorder, and the video screen is presented modally on the screen. I want some text to show up above the video modal, and I think I've tried any approach I can think of atm.
Currently im stuck with something like:
var topMost = frameModule.topmost();
var View = new ViewModule.View(questionHolder);
topMost.currentPage._addView(View, 0);
But with no success. questionHolder is a view I fetch with
currentpage.getViewById
Edit:
From the answer of #davecoffin where I understood you could not mix native views and nativescripts views, I was able to solve this in my case by accessing the native view directly and adding a subview to it. In my case:
var sharedApplication = utils.ios.getter(UIApplication, UIApplication.sharedApplication);
var overlay = UIView.alloc().initWithFrame({
origin : {
x: 0,
y: 44,
},
size: {
height: 100,
width: platform.screen.mainScreen.widthPixels
}
});
overlay.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor;
overlay.alpha = .6;
sharedApplication.keyWindow.rootViewController.presentedViewController.cameraOverlayView = overlay;
You can directly create and use modal pages as described in this article.
If I am understanding your approach correctly...
You cant add Nativescript views on top of native views.
Check out this forum question: https://discourse.nativescript.org/t/appending-nativescript-views-to-a-native-ui-view/1412
Basically once you have appended a native view (not a nativescript layout or ui view), then every view you append after that must be a native view. For iOS you use addSubview, not sure about android atm.
using JxMaps (Java Swing) I draw a polyline.
This works fine.
Now I'd like to add arrwos to the lines. Anyone having an idea whats wrong with my code?
...
Symbol icon = new Symbol();
icon.setPath("google.maps.SymbolPath.FORWARD_CLOSED_ARROW");
IconSequence iconSequence = new IconSequence();
iconSequence.setIcon(icon);
iconSequence.setOffset("100%");
options.setIcons(new IconSequence[]{iconSequence});
// Applying ALL options to the polyline
polyline.setOptions(options);
No Arrows appear
If I look at the Google Maps API, it looks very similiar:
// var lineSymbol = {
// path: google.maps.SymbolPath.FORWARD_CLOSED_ARROW
//
// new google.maps.Polyline({
//icons: [{
// icon: lineSymbol,
// offset: '100%'
//}],
Thanks
Possibility to use built-in symbol paths was introduced in JxMaps version 1.2.2. You can download it from official product page: www.teamdev.com/jxmaps
You can add this kind of image using following code:
Symbol icon = new Symbol();
icon.setPath(StandardSymbol.BACKWARD_CLOSED_ARROW);
Thanks.
I have been trying to put an image with a hyperlink on it into a google apps script ui. I first thought of using createAnchor(), but that only allows text. Then I thought of using a button, but as far as I know you cannot open a new tab/window and redirect in a callback function.
I also tried createHTML(), but the element is not handled by it as yet.
I have seen people overlay transparent buttons over images, but still have same issue in callback.
My research has not found an answer to this. Does anyone have any solutions/examples?
Thanks
This worked for me on Chrome20 and IE9
// Container for box and results
var imageContainer = app.createFlexTable();
// Setup the button
var button = app.createButton("ImageButton");
button.setStyleAttribute("background", "url(dontshowimagehere.JPG) no-repeat");
button.setStyleAttribute("position", "absolute");
button.setStyleAttribute("color", "transparent");
button.setStyleAttribute('zIndex','1');
button.setStyleAttribute("border", "0px solid black");
imageContainer.setWidget(0, 0, button);
// image to click
var image = app.createImage("image.jpg").setId(imageId);
imageContainer.setWidget(1,0, image);
The image has a slight (3px) offset. If important, this looks to fix it http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp (use relative for the flex table and top etc for the image and button)
Did you try a transparent Anchor overlaying the image?
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle("Image Anchor");
var panel = app.createAbsolutePanel().setWidth('50%').setHeight('50%');
var image = app.createImage().setUrl("https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-v0Q3gPQz03Q/T_y5gcVw7LI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ol9uup7Xm2g/s512/GooglePlus-512-Red.png").setStyleAttribute("width", "28px").setStyleAttribute("height", "28px");
var anchor = app.createAnchor("?", "https://plus.google.com/u/1/116085534841818923812/posts").setHeight("28px").setWidth("28px").setStyleAttribute("opacity", "0.1").setTarget("blank");
panel.add(image,100,50);
panel.add(anchor,100,50);
app.add(panel);
return app.close();
}
app.createAbsolutePanel()
.add(app.createImage('https://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png'))
.add(app.createAnchor('','https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/about/')
.setStyleAttributes({position:'absolute',top:'0px',left:'0px',width:'201px',height:'47px',opacity:'0'}))
This is a tested one. It works fine.
It doesn't work with positioning the image (as 'absolute').
It doesn't work with .setHorizontalAlignment(UiApp.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER)
I don't believe this is possible with the widgets available. I would suggest altering your UI's design to utilize an Anchor widget instead.
Use HTML Box if you are coding directly on your page. Click "Edit" to edit your page and go to "Insert>HTML Box" in your menu. It will accept javascript too! There are a few caveats - when using javascript, HTML Box will not accept links...too bad, but too many exploits there.
If you are coding in apps script, you could try to place the image on a panel and use absolute panel and position your link over your image. Another method could be to use the .setStyleAttribute for CSS styling and utilize the zIndex parameter to place a panel over top of your image....like so:
var panel = app.createSimplePanel();
// add your image to the simple panel or whatever panel you wish to choose in your GUI
var popPanel = app.createSimplePanel()
.setStyleAttribute('top','Y')
.setStyleAttribute('left','X')
.setStyleAttribute('zIndex','1')
.setStyleAttribute('position','fixed');
// add your anchor to the popPanel
app.add(panel).add(popPanel);
Not 100% sure if you can make this panel transparent, but you could try something like:
.setStyleAttribute('background',transparent')
or change the opacity via:
.setStyleAttribute('opacity','.5')
Hopes this gives you a few ideas!
I managed to do it with a single Anchor object and using CSS3.
It works on Chrome, I did not test it in other Browsers.
gui.createAnchor("", false, "$DESTINATION_URL$")
.setStyleAttributes({ "display":"block",
"width":"$IMAGE_WIDTH_IN_PIXEL$",
"height":"$IMAGE_HEIGHT_IN_PIXEL$",
"background":"url($URL_OF_THE_IMAGE$)",
"background-size":"100% 100%",
"background-repeat":"no-repeat" })
Of course you have to replace the $......$ with your data.

If you first create all your HTML in a string, you can then replace the content of a page with the HTML you want like this:
var myString = 'the html you want to add, for example you image link and button';
var page = SitesApp.getSite('example.com', 'mysite').getChildByName('targetpage');
var upage = page.setHtmlContent('<div>' + myString + '</div>');
I have a main view, then on that view I have, as children, two labels and an image. I want the labels to flow one after another from the top of the screen and I want the image at the bottom. I get the labels to flow properly by setting layout:'vertical' in the main window. But once that is done, I can't seem to force the image to the bottom. Here is a snippet of my code:
var self = Ti.UI.createView({
backgroundColor:'#fff',
layout:'vertical'
});
var l1 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
text:quote,
color:'#000',
shadowColor:'#ddd',
shadowOffset:{x:2,y:2},
font:{fontFamily:'Marker Felt',fontSize:24},
top:20,
left:15,
right:15,
height:'auto'
});
self.add(l1);
var l2 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
text:author,
color:'#000',
shadowColor:'#ddd',
shadowOffset:{x:2,y:2},
font:{fontSize:16},
top:10,
left:15,
right:15,
height:'auto',
textAlign:'right'
});
self.add(l2);
var imgView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({
image:myimage,
setBottom:10,
height:100
});
self.add(imgView);
I have tried setting the image layout and that doesn't work. If I change the 'self' window layout to 'absolute' then I can't seem to get the labels to flow cleanly after one another. The first label is of variable height so I need them to follow each other.
I am using Titanium 1.82.
Thanks. In advance.
You might need to add another view. The 'base' view would have what you are calling 'self' added at top:0 and height: 'auto'
Then add imgView to 'base' with bottom: 10 (not setBottom like you have).
Just set the bottom:0; position: fixed; i think this will help u to set the image bottom of the screen.. If it still not working means try with Html,Css and Javascript for design it will be very easy.
