So I'm trying to give my air application a custom style, I've set the showFlexChrome to false and that's ok it works. now I would like to use an image window I designed in photoshop as the background (because now there is no background in the application).
I did the following but it doesn't work
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" xmlns:views="be.KHM.ProjectManager.models.views.*"
width="850" height="500" currentState="index" creationComplete="init()"
showFlexChrome="false"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
verticalScrollPolicy="off"
backgroundColor="white"
>
< mx:Style>
WindowedApplication
{
backgroundColor: white;
backgroundImage: "be/KHM/ProjectManager/assets/mysimpleproject_interface.jpg";
}
</ mx: Style>
The path is correct and I don't receive any errors but the background of my air app is still transparent. I tried to put a canvas around everything between my windowedapplication and give that a background image, but because I work with states it will give me the error that the states cannot be initiated within a canvas or something like that.
Try putting a ClassReference("be/....") for the backgroundImage style setter.
Edit:
Oh, wait... that's not a class.
The problem could be that you have the wrong combo of showFlexChrome and the FlexChrome property in your xml compiler file.
My suggestion would be to take a look at the source of the SalesForce app that someone built when 1.0 came out. It has some decent css and window styling examples.

A Firefox change broke some of my background/border images. See this issue for more details: CSS - New Firefox-release doesn't show Border-Image anymore. When I fixed this issue by adding border-style: solid my text now displays a white/gray background behind it. Any idea why this might be happening. See my image on Chrome (how it is supposed to look) and then on Firefox.

You need to draw a background too.
From pseudo or from element itself :2 examples to tune to your needs.
pseudo:
background:#5099D6;
background-clip:padding-box;
element:
background:url(http://www.rwe-uk.com/static/ichat_with_css3/speech_bubble_left_2.png) center / 300% 150%;
background-clip:content-box;
So, the new Exposure site is wonderful and got me wondering how they've achieved something like this. Basically, it's a cover image that's stretched to the browser window (even if you resize), what's lovely about is that only when you scroll do you get to see the content below.
I guess you could use something like backstretch.js for the dynamically-resized image. How are they achieving the rest, though?
I've set up a pen here: http://codepen.io/realph/pen/luwdJ
Which seems to do the job, but the content is being covered when you scroll rather than falling below the cover image.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or any tips for achieving something like this?
Thanks in advance!
I think this is what your looking for and css can do the whole thing
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/rajDJ
Just add this rule to your images or image class
img {
width: 100%;
}
What exposure is doing there is creating onclick modal window that contains the image but you can do that with js or jquery or there are many jquery plugins that do that.
Also to get the nice grid structure you can use a grid template. Here is one to get you started http://960.gs/
Hopefully an easy one. I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 on Win 7. All was working fine, but now when i use "inspect element", the inspect element pane has a dark blue background with dark foreground colors for the html elements making it very hard to read. I have searched and searched but naturally most searches turn up results about changing a page's background color rather than that of the inspector itself. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
An answer I have seen is to create a "user" style to force the background to be white.

To do this you install an addon for Firefox called "Stylish"
Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
And use it to create a user style with the following code:
#namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
#-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/devtools/markup-view.xhtml") {
body { background: white !important }
}
I have done this and it works for me.

I'm not sure you can change this, but you could use Firebug which still has a white background
It's not possible to set transparent background for WebBrowser of WP7. To make impression of transparent background I want to do the following workaround. I want:
To find a position and size of WebBrowser on the page.
To get page's background image.
Crop it with values what I found on step 1.
To save result in IsolatedStorage
To parse HTML and place <body background="RESULTBACKGROUND">
MyWebBrowser.NavigateToString(NewHtmlString);
I think this should be a workaround of transparent background and should work.
For now I am trying just to place any .jpg image (let's say test.jpg) on step 5.
But fail. I have "Build Action" property of file set to "Content". It is placed in the root of the project. And <body background="test.jpg"> not working. Back of the WebBrowser is still white.
What I am doing wrong?
UPD:
Step 5 is solved.
2Claus: No! Not only from web. I saved both html file and image file to IsolatedStorage and WebBrowser can show image as a backgroud.
Now the problem is that background cannot be fixed. I tried many differrent things with styles. I also tried to add a fixed div behind my text. Nothing works. The picture is always scrolling with a text. I tried to add onscroll event and pass it scrolled value to move the div in an opposite direction, but div is glued to the page :(
Any ideas?
So assuming you're talking about the WebBrowser control, you're forgetting that the HTML only can refer to urls on the world wide web.
So either you need to host your background images on a website, or you need to inject a CSS style that sets the background to either white or black (the two default background-colours of the platform).
For WebBrowser, You don't actually have to save it to the ISO to make changes on the page. You can load it navigate to it normally, and then use InvokeScript to make the changes via custom JS code. It can be a little tricky though, as you will probably need to heavily rely on the eval and stringization. The problem mentioned by Claus is still there - but you need to do some experiments. With the Mango release and SDK 7.1+, the platform support IsoltatedStorage imagesources in the form of is://path/file - maybe - maybe - maybe squared - the webbrowser's renderer udnerstands them too - then setting your bkg's url to such would work. I doubt though, as it could be seen as some minor security breach, etc
I now bumped into the same background fixed image problem. For someone wandering here I solved it placing content into a fixed-height container (div) therefore the container contents is being scrolled and not the html page, leaving background picture "fixed".
body
{
background-image:url('...');
background-position:-20px -150px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
div
{
height:300px;
overflow:scroll;
}
Of course background-position and div height is set specifically for a WebBrowser position in page and it's size.
I saw the splash screen of the Corel-Draw 12 application and lost my mind!
What technique do they use?
On application start-up they load a transparent image, use windows api or what?
How do they achieve this transparency?
Here is a demo project for both VB.NET & C#.
If you are using winforms with vb.net you can modify the opacity of any form by setting the Form.Opacity property. I am not familiar with the splash screen you are speaking about but it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve a similar effect.
If you're using WPF, set the AllowsTransparancy, WindowStyle and Background attributes on the Window object:
<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
AllowsTransparency="True"
WindowStyle="None"
Background="Transparent">
<!-- more -->
</Window>
I am also unfamiliar with this flash screen... but if it slowly fades or something, then I would go with Quintin's answer here. Opacity at a certain percentage will show another form through yours.
If the splash screen is just an image and some of it is see-through and some of it isn't, then you can set the transparency key on your form to a certain color, then set the form's background color equal to that, and then whatever image you wish to display should be loaded into a picture box. Make sure you use a .GIF image though! or some other format that supports deleting out the background. JPG's and BMP's are worthless here since their "empty" color becomes white instead of transparent.
