During loading of a Flex 3 built application, it always shows this blue-grayish background color. I've tried a handful of tips, building preloaders etc, and all that works, but even before the preloaders kick in, that blue-grayish color is displayed. I've tried lots of ways to change it, like editing compiler options, setting background ...

Is there a proper plugin or a class to perform background and foreground text colorization within a common output console?

Hey All, :) I have 60% Opaque form. And when the user changes the color of the form, sometimes (depending on the chosen color), they cannot see the text on the form anymore because it too-closely resembles the color of the form. So, I'm trying to do maybe an if/switch to see if the chosen BackColor of the form is either Dark, or Light. ...

I'm building a WinForms application, and I'm using specific colors on most controls. I do that sometimes from the WinForms designer, and sometimes directly into my code.

I'm trying to generate a color that could highlight an item as "selected" based on the color of the current object. I've tried increasing some of the HSB values, but I can't come up with a generalized formula. Particularly, I have problems when working with white (a brighter white doesn't look much different than a regular white). There'...

I'm writing a small utility in Python that does some pattern matching of text. Text that matches the pattern the user has entered gets highlighted yellow. I'm achieving this using a Tkinter Text widget, and setting up a tag on the textbox named "match" that gives any text with the tag name "match" a yellow background. This all looks n...
I'm porting a DOS game to AS3. I need a way to specifically format my sprite files. I need to know how to take a 256-colour paletted PNG, and save a (presumably) 32-bit PNG, where all three colour channels are summed to the blue channel only - so all colour information is contained only on the blue channel. I plan on modifying an AS3 P...

The a* component represents values running from green to red, and the b* component represents values running fro...
Suppose there are two colors defined in CMYK: color1 = 30, 40, 50, 60 color2 = 50, 60, 70, 80 If they were to be printed what values would the resulting color have? color_new = min(cyan1 + cyan2, 100), min(magenta1 + magenta2, 100), min(yellow1 + yellow2, 100), min(black1 + black2, 100)?

This is in vb.net. If I cannot do this, how do I use PictureBox.CreateGraphics with a hex code instead of a pen? Thanks for the help! ...
I hope someone can help, I have made a script that masks images... however it is reliant on a colour to mask with ( 'green screen' style). The trouble is if the image that I am masking contains that colour it is ruined. What I am looking to do is prior to masking the image replace any occurance of my keying colour (0,0,255) with a simi...
I'm drawing stuff on a bitmapData and I need to continuously fade every pixel to 0x808080 while still drawing (its for a DisplacementMapFilter)... I think this illustrates my problem: http://www.ventdaval.com/lab/grey.swf The simpler approach I tried was drawing a semi-transparent grey box on it, but it never reaches a single color (i....
