HTML - Transparent Windows Xp Icons Over Html Desktop Background
Here's what I'm up to:
Made this scrolling desktop background on my Windows XP machine and found that the desktop icons, which appear transparent over a standard, static wallpaper, are no longer so when the desktop background is changed to an HTML one. That is, the text that displays as if typed with a drop-shadow over a static .jpg wallpaper image shows up over an HTML background inside a colored box. I'd like to get the "no box" effect, the standard XP text with a drop shadow, over the HTML background. Is this possible? Similar TutorialsI have heard that it is possible to put a webpage on the desktop of a computer that has windows. Is it also possible to do this in linux? What I would like to do is to put a whole series of pull down menus on the desktop - one menu group would be for educational programs, one for Open office programs, etc. I would like to do this to get away from the whole nesting windows thing. Is it possible? easy? Hi, You know how sometimes websites with ever changing content (like stock market quotes, price of gold, etc) offer snippets of code that you can put on your own website to show charts/prices/etc? I was just wondering if there was a way to get that code to run on my desktop to show that changing content? It would only be a box approx 270 x 110 pixels if it was on a webpage, hopefully the same size on the desktop. The piece of code in question is: <A HREF="http://www.kitco.com/connecting.html"> <IMG SRC="http://www.kitconet.com/images/sp_en_6.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]"> </A> I've searched thru the forum but found nothing that answers this question. Is there something out there that will take the html code and convert it into, say, an exe that will then run on the desktop? TIA Hi guys, I'm working on a project which requires an HTML page to be updated regularly, say every 10 seconds. however its not the whole page i need to refresh but rather a section of it. that section in question is a table that has status icons within. those status Icons receive values from a server and update accordingly. the following code corresponds to those images you see in the attachment. HTML Code: <td width="100" style="TEXT-ALIGN:center" onclick="showNFailDialog('{IP_ID}','{ZONE_ID}','{GROUP_ID}');"> <IMG style="WIDTH:24px;HEIGHT:22px;CURSOR:hand" class="ZState NFail" name="disp" alt="Zone {ZONE_ID}" src="../../Icons/circle_cancel.png" eis="name:{IP_ID}.{ZONE_ID}.{GROUP_ID}.Alarm;type:1;virtual:1;img0:/Icons/circle_green.png;img1:/Icons/circle_red.png;"> </td> this line basically says value 0 shows green, value 1 shows red.. img0:/Icons/circle_green.png;img1:/Icons/circle_red.png Is there a way I can insert some code into the image section that makes the image refresh every so often but without refreshing the whole page/table your help is greatly appreciated Hey there guys... I've been trying to make an HTML program that opens programs I direct it to. Now I have the layout all correct, it looks almost like a control panel with my most commonly used programs. I put hyper links on the pictures, but when I click on the picture that dialog box keeps opening! It's getting a bit irritating... Is there a way I can make them open with out keep clicking on open or save in the dialog box. I can't get notepad opened either! This is not web based just for my PC if that makes anything any easier! Also if there anything in JAVA that will be cool. I saw something to do with PERL but I cannot run the code on my PC, I think thats only web based and the coding is way to complicated! Thanks i am trying to call a transparent png as an image background for a table and i have the code to get it to work for IE 6 and IE 7 but when i add in a doctype "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">" it doesnt work. Here is a section of my code: <style type="text/css"> .stock { background-image: url("BG.png"); background-repeat: repeat; background-position: top; behavior: url('pngbehavior.htc'); padding: 11px; } </style> and then call the table like this: <table width=800 class=Stock> the pngbehavior.htc is the same transparent png attachment that is floating around the net. What i am trying to know is does anybody have a way of calling it so that it works in IE 5, 6, 7 and firefox with the doctype command? it works fine before i put the doctype command in it but i am using some other code that needs it. Thanks guys Hello all, I am helping a company develop a website right now. But, I am very new to it and would like some help. I went to w3schools but I am not getting enough info. I needed help on the problems that I stated in the title. Here is my code. I added a transparent code on the bottom, I tried to change the background by putting my renaming my picture and uploading it through godaddy. Since I have hosting and domain with godaddy, and I use companies computers I can't install a FTP client because of some restrictions. If you are confused with what I say, please ask me to clarify. If you can, can you send me your AIM, GTALK, MSN, ETC.... so we can diagnose this problem. <html> <body> <p> <Center> <h1>Welcome to _____________</h1> </Center> </p> <p> <Center> <h3>*******<h/3> </Center> </p> <center><p><h2> Contact Us: ..........<h/2></p> </Center> <p> <h3><b>Introducing The ***:</B><h/3> <center> <h4>*$125.00 A Month Gets You Basic Service Office Space <p>Assigned Phone Number with Option of Voice Mail or Call Forwarding</p> Personal Email Address <br>(Ex: YOURBUSINESSNAME@........)</br> <p>Access to our Conference Rooms</p> <p>Professional Address for Mail</p> <p>Wi-Fi with in our Office</p> <p>E-Fax</p> In Addition you will have Exposure to other Professionals in Real Estate Business. <h/4> <p>Extended Use of Reception Personnel</p> <p>Private Office</p> <p>Warehouse Space</p> <p>Accounting and more!</P> $250 Initial Setup Fee Will Be Required <p>*Contact us for more information on optional services</p> </Center> <p> <h3>Along with the next step program, we offer services such as:<h/3> </p> <p> <ul> <li>Tenancy</li> <li>Property Management</li> <li>Rehabilitation</li> <li>Remodeling</li> <li>Road to Ownership</li> </ul> </p> <p> <Center> Below are videos that explain more about our mission to provide services to the Chicagoland area. </Center> </p> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> div.background { width: 500px; height: 250px; background: url(bcc.jpeg) repeat; border: 2px solid black; } div.transbox { width: 400px; height: 180px; margin: 30px 50px; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid black; filter:alpha(opacity=60); opacity:0.6; } div.transbox p { margin: 30px 40px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000; } </style> </head> <body><div class="background"> <div class="transbox"> <p>This is some text that is placed in the transparent box.

May I know is it possible to make png pictures transparent? I heard that's possible with IE 7, but I want a method that works with lowers versions of IE too. I'm trying to avoid CSS if possible, is there a code something like "style=transparent" that can be typed into the <img> tag? Thanks Hello, How do we keep on open the link(here it is HTML Form) in new window. I tried the target="_blank". At first time when i click the link, it opens the HTML form in the new window, but if i click the link next time, the same HTML form(already opened) got refreshed. Is it any way to open the HTML forms in different windows whenever i click the link. Regards, Manimaran Hi, i wanna know how i can lock in html page windows.

Please help me, me language first isn't not english. Because i speaking, and writing not wery well. Hi I was wondering if there was any way to do an html form that doesn't open up security windows once the submit button has entered? I am trying to put up an Adobe icon to go next to our downloadble pdf brochure. How do I create one of those small icons? Let me preface this by saying I'm very much a novice at this. I've done very basic HTML for a while, but have not advanced beyond that at all except to copy and paste some nice Java scripts that I've enjoyed from time to time. I do have 2 phpBB forum boards that I've enjoyed setting up. But that's pretty step by step instructional. Beyond that, I don't have a clue. But I love the little icons that many sites use in their location lines. Google has the G, Yahoo has the Y!, and Woot has the !. I'd like to put one on my websites, but I'm having a terrible time finding the code for it. If it's done in a CSS, I'm screwed. I have only peeked at this and never attempted it. But if someone has a way to put a small icon on my location line, I'd love to see it. I do most of my own graphics, and making the icon wouldn't be a problem at all. I just need to find out how to embed it. Thanks i'm trying to put a transparent png img on a colored background, in IE6 the transparent part of the img appears as a color instead of transparent how can i fix that??? the attached imgs shows how it's appearing in IE6 and FF Hi everyone! I would like to add some small icons in the branch of a tree in my layout. Can anyone suggest a way to do it? Should I use an image map? The icons will be links that open in an external page. Thanks! http://heartless-ink.com/inked/main.html Okay. I have a new question that needs answering. I have followed instructions found elsewhere in this forum, and have successfully gotten my url icon to work. If you go to web.mac.com/merchandise1 you can see a little "M" in the bar. Here's the problem, though. I don't use that address on my business cards, email flyers, etc. I use merchandiseonline.org The url icons DO NOT WORK when you go to the masked/forwarded url address of merchandiseonline.org I use DirectNIC for my forwarding purposes. So, my question, then, is: HOW do you get the favicons (url icons) to work when using a masked address? I've searched forums upon forums and have not found the answer. I pray someone here will have an idea. Thanks, James @ merchandise I am developing C# web application in which it contains a htm page. This Htm page contains a menu file. under file there are two items save and exit. I added the menu and items in the menu. what i need is how can i add the icons beside the items of the menu. Any one please Help. Thanks in advance. Hello, This is my first time in HTML world and I'm a complete n00b. I'm trying to put a counter on my blog for facebook/twitter/google+/rss to keep track of them on the blog. This is working fine, at least facebook and twitter are automatically updated (through a script I picked up on the internet), google+ and RSS is still manual, I still need to figure those ones out. Now I would like to nicely align the counters with the icons I have, and that's my problem. I want the text centered under the icon it belongs to, but I don't know how. With my lack of knowledge I found a somewhat cumbersome way to do that. Not that bad, simply not nice coding, but when the page is zoomed in or something the like, the aligning obviously doesn't work anymore. Could someone help me do the aligning properly?

Thanks Walt So I'm developing a kind of desktop that u use by any browser. The idea of this is that you can find files and go thru files easy and do other things at the same time. In a new design. So I have a test site that gives you an idea on how it going to look. I am a rookie when it comes to coding and such so it's a simple site. Please come with tips and stuff that I should add. here is the test website. http://jaegarn.webs.com/ It all started yesterday when internet was shut down for one hour and I was bored When im developing this now I'm making it in swedish but it's easy to translate it and if somone wants I could translate it for it's release to english. So ya come with suggestions on what I should add and tips Over N Out JaegarN |
