I'm hoping someone knows of an enhanced TImageList for Delphi 7 that supports 32 bit (alpha channel) bitmaps (for a TTreeView). Ideally free . Or perhaps how to extend/configure the stock TImageList to handle the alpha channel properly in 32 bit color bitmaps. ...
It seems like there is an increasingly popular trend to style hyperlinks in a color that's barely distinguishable from body text. I noticed this just the other day on an SFGate blog page. Also notice that link just a few words ago. Are my eyes getting worse, or is that hard to spot? I certainly understand styling hyperlinks to look bett...
Say I have a list of 2 colours, Black and White. It's only possible to have 1 combination using these colours, because you can't have two of the same. If I have 3 colours (Black, White and Red), there are 3 possible combination (Black+White, Black+Red, White+Red). If I have 4 colours, there are 5 possible combinations and if I have 5 c...

Every time I design websites in Photoshop, I slice up the elements I want to bring into my html page. I am experiencing a problem where the css-ruled background colors vary from the same color saved in photoshop. Consider this example: There is a square div with a background color of #080808. In photoshop, I slice up an image that will ...

Hello everyone, I am a newbie here just joined this wonderfull community. I have to admit this is the best site out there for programming questions and answers.

I've read a number of questions on finding the colour palette of an image, but my problem is slightly different. I'm looking for images made up of pure colours: pictures of the open sky, colourful photo backgrounds, red brick walls etc. So far I've used the App Engine Image.histogram() function to produce a histogram, filter out values ...
I recently went through my CSS file and switch all my 6-digit hexadecimal codes to simple 3-digit codes (for example, my #FDFEFF got shortened to #FFF). It renders pretty much the exact same color as before, it seems to me that the in between parts are fairly useless and removing them saved me an entire 300 bytes in my CSS file. Does it...
I'm writing some Java OpenGL code (though the principles are the same in C++ openGL). I have a situation where I want to render certain items on top of others. I can do that by disable the depth test or by setting it to GL_ALWAYS) for those items and that works well. The issue is that colors of those items on top seem to be darkened by t...

I'm trying to make a "blank" background to place an image on top of. It's not too difficult to create crosshatches by placing a TImage on a form and doing the following: image1.Canvas.brush.Style := bsDiagCross; image1.canvas.brush.color := clWhatever; image1.canvas.FillRect(image1.clientrect); This works, and I get a crosshatch patt...

Let's say I have color 'FOO', and it is stored in RGB format. I need to recolor 'FOO' so it matches the closest color in a list of colors. Doing this on the fly, couldn't I view the RGB values from each color as points on a 3D grid (r=x, g=y, b=z) and compute the distance between point 'FOO' vs the points from each color in the list? ...
how can i create an opposite of a hexadecimal color? for example, i'd like to convert 0x000000 (black) into 0xFFFFFF (white), or 0xFF0000 (red) into 0x00FFFF (cyan). those are rather basic colors, while variants of colors can have more complex hexadecimal values, such as 0x21B813 (greenish). are bitwise operators required for this? m...
