When I select text layer and then apply ripple effect (Filter -> Animations ->Ripple) resulted image has grey background.
Can I remove this background or change its colour?
You can remove a single-colored background in Gimp using the color selection tool. Here's a screen cast showing how to do it.

I realized that suddenly (without me touching the corresponding code) my NSBox has a double visualization. It is as if the Box has a background color and draws its normal rounded frame inside. I added a small screenshot. The parent control is white, the NSBox is gray with the title "Inputs" (unchanged titlePosition). Under the title is the normal box, adding a 2nd shade of gray.
I did not change any of the usual suspects, especially not boxType which is still set to .primary.
I did work on the Dark Mode (Dark Aqua) but cannot see any change that would cause this behaviour. effectiveAppearance is still Aqua.
A NSBox with a boxType of .primary always draws a background. That is intended behaviour. Only if the view behind NSBox is white you may not see it. If you want a NSBox without background you must make it boxType .custom and set the background color as required.

What you are really needing to do is create an animated GIF. If you have Photoshop, you can do this via these methods:
Method 1 - use existing blue graphic
Open blue CS3ZS.gif image in Photoshop
In the Layers panel, add an Adjustment layer above all other layers (select top layer, then in Adjustments panel select Hue icon)
Change the Hue to +160 (or whatever you like)
File > Save for web > select GIF
Method 2 - add glow animation to your red graphic
Open red TDnmm.jpg image in Photoshop
Layers panel > right-click Background layer > Layer from background
Select black background on stage and delete it - this will give you a transparent background
Then create another layer with the new "glow" effect
In the Timeline window use the frame-base animation mode
Create one frame with the glow layer visible and one frame with it hidden and a third frame with the glow visible again
Now select the first two frames and from the animation options panel, select "tween frames" and use 3 frames. Do the same for frames 2 & 3.
Select animation duration as Forever
Save for Web as a GIF
Is there a way to change the background color of the xcassets view in Xcode 5 or Xcode 6?
I have white images that are lost on the white background.
When viewing an image without using xcassets, the image is set against a grey background.
However with xcassets the background is white and the images can't be seen.
I've tried using different different font and color schemes but they only seem to apply to the text editor.
A reasonable work around is to select the image asset, (eg click on the 1x or 2x version) and then press the spacebar.
This will show the asset in a popover with a light grey background.
If you are happy to add an Xcode plugin (it's available via Alcatraz) then
TOCAssetCatalogBackground solves this problem. https://github.com/toco/TOCAssetCatalogBackground
Are the images essentially silhouettes? If so, you could make them in another color (I like to use magenta, because then it’s immediately clear when something isn’t working). Then you can use iOS 7’s -[UIImage imageWithRenderingMode:] (not sure if there is a Mac equivalent) to have the image automatically pick up the tint color of its containing view. Then you would not be looking at white images on a white background.
I am trying to build a windows phone live tile. I want some text on the tile that is the accent colour. What this means is that I need to draw some text on the tile that is transparent. I don't seem to be able to write in the transparent colour.
I have a User Control which is 173 by 173 pixels which I save as a png file. I use this png as the image for the live tile. The transparent bits of the image come out in the current accent colour.
Any ideas how to write in the transparent colour in xaml?
This behaviour is to be expected. In your original question you are effectively saying "Write invisible text on top of the image", and that's what you're getting (imagine writing in invisible ink on a photograph). You effectively need to do one of two things.
1) Figure out which pixels are part of the text you're writing, and "remove" them from the image so the background colour shows through, or
2) Write text in the background colour ({StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush})
EDIT
You can probably achieve what you need using an Opacity Mask. Apologies for only providing that as a link as I haven't done this myself.
I have a white png image, which is a part of a n icon.
I would like to change it's colour to get a coloured icon.
I know it is possible with hue/saturation setting, but don't know how to achieve a specific colour output.
I am using Axialis Icon Workshop (I have Photoshop CS5 also). The colourize option along with Hue, Saturation and Brightness adjustments will assist getting any colour output. But I specifically want colour #3366CC.
Is there a solution to convert my white png image to #3366CC coloured image?
This can be easily achieved if you go to the layers panel in Photoshop and select your icon layer. If the icon has a transparent background then select the fx button from the bottom of the layers panel and select color overlay or go to the menu at the top of the Photoshop screen and select Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay. From the options box select the color box and put in 3366cc instead of the ffffff you have.
This should give you a coloured icon as desired. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll try to help.
You can go to layer style and choose color overlay, but that wont give you the color as you exactly want it, you can go a step further and hold the control key and click on the shape or the image you want to change the color, the shape will be selected, make a new layer on top of the shape or image that you want to change the color then fill in the color with the color that you choose in the layer property and set the mode to overlay, reduce the opacity to 50%. done
