Siebel open UI IP16 - loading image customization

Is there a way I can customize (replace with another GIF image) the loading image in Siebel Open UI in IP16 version? The current loading image is an red colored, oval shaped, oracle provided one, but i do not find the corresponding image in images folder. Any leads?
The animated icon may be stored in css files.
Try to search in your css files for something like
.siebui-mask-outer
timer
It may not be an actual gif but an css transformation.
(btw. You can run your Chrome Developer tool and examine the source of the icon)
The standard GIF file must be in public/enu folder (for english application) on the web server. On your local installation, it will be in C:\Siebel81\16.0.0.0.0\Client\PUBLIC\IMAGES\
There are multiple gif files there used for different applications.

JasperReport/Aspose.word - Background image working with pdf but doesn't with word

As explained in the title. I'm using aspose.word extension for JasperReports. When I create a report with the PDF format, everything works fine; but, when I export the same jrxml file in word .doc format I cannot see the background image.
I was wondering if aspose.word does support background images or not. I didn't manage to get this point in the documentation.
EDIT: It came out from Aspose Development Team that Aspose.word has a bug and actually doesn't show background images.
Just for reference for any one facing this issue in future. The issue with issue id:WORDSJSP-146 has been logged in our issue tracking system to fix this bug.
Also, following thread is posted in Aspose forum for the above issue http://www.aspose.com/community/forums/thread/556318/background-image-not-showing.aspx.
P.S. I am social media developer at Aspose.

Adding a new font for BIRT Reporting

I need to add a new font type for one of my reports, Monotype Corsiva. How do i do that in BIRT? My BIRT version is 3.7.2. I have both the ttf and otf files.
After playing around my localhost, this is what i did:
go to eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts_3.7.2.v20120213/fontsConfig.xml
add in new font path
restart the laptop
But i do not like this way of doing it, cos it is crude, and i need to upload it to the server too. How do i go about doing that?
It is not clear if you are you asking how to add a font to BIRT, or how to have a specic font displayed when the report is deployed.
If when deployed are they PDF, HTML, Excel, etc?
This tip descripes how to make many changes to the font and style at run time http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/1200-set-fontstyle-information-on-a-report-using-de-api-or-script/
It can be done in the ElementFactory with
dataStyle.setProperty( StyleHandle.FONT_FAMILY_PROP, "Monotype Corsiva"
Or in the beforeFactory with
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("report").setProperty(StyleHandle.FONT_FAMILY_PROP, "Monotype Corsiva");
Of course for both of these the font would need to be available on the PC running the report.

Image Transparency not working

I am using Windows 8 RTM and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. I am trying to write an application that uses UIRibbon in Visual C++. (Because I have the Express version only, I don't have access to MFC; please don't use it in your answer.)
The problem has to do with the icons I use in the ribbon. Because Windows 7 compatibility is a requirement for this project, I cannot use PNG images; I am stuck with old-school BMPs. The problem is that, while some of the BMPs are displaying correctly, most of the images have black bounding-boxes around them. I suspect the problem has to do with the BMP files, and is not in the ribbon XML file or in the code.
The BMP that displays correctly I downloaded off the Internet as part of a sample that I adapted. The BMPs that don't display correctly I extracted from an ICO file, then converted to a 32-bit image using the System.Drawing.Bitmap .NET API. (This conversion process is in done in a separate program as part of my build procedure, not at runtime.)
My question is: Does changing the bit depth of a BMP in this manner affect the colors in the image? And, if so, can anyone point out a free tool that can turn a PNG file into a 32-bit BMP file that works correctly in the Windows UIRibbon?
Do you speak of the Windows Ribbon Framework here? If so, you wouldn't be able to use PNGs anyway as the framework supports BMP only for Windows 7. With Windows 8 you can also use PNGs. See the regarding MSDN article for more information.
For a free tool which converts your PNGs into compatible BMP files, you should have a look at the visual designer that comes with the "Windows Ribbon Framework for Delphi".
You can simply load you XML markup into the editor and add your pictures. The editor will then convert the added files into BMPs if required. You can also use the editor to check if your Ribbon definition looks right. It produces valid "Windows Ribbon Framework" XML markup, so you can use the markup file in any other language such as C++, C# or Delphi for your further application development.

VS 2010, Getting embedded Image from rdlc report

I designed a rdlc report. In that I embedded one image, say logo.
But I accidently deleted the orginal image in orginal location.
Now I am trying to resave the Logo from rdlc report.
In which location this rdlc's embedded image is getting stored?
The image is not stored in a physical location but in the rdl file itself. If you open the rdl file, you would find tag . It has been mentioned here.
There are a few ways of saving the image. It has already been answered in this question.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if i understand your question.
The embedded images are stored as Base64 strings in rdlc. when you try to insert a new image in your report you have a dropdown of those images right under "use this image" or you can insert it from code
