I’m using Deski version 12.3.2 and need my tables to be transparent so that a background image can be seen through the tables.
I have tried going to background color under Appearance on the properties tab and just deleteing the RGB codes. The block that indicates the color now has an X through it which would seem to imply there is no fill.
But on my screen, the tables cells are a very light gray (instead of the white to which they were previously set) and you still cannot see the background image.
Any suggestions? I did search before posting; most posts with this issue were Webi related and implied the Deski solved the problem.
Maybe this is the issue - I’m using Rich Client. We’ve gotten in the bad habit of using the term Deski and Rich Client as the same thing - not sure if that’s accurate.
When I do as you suggest, after I click on Cell, I don’t get a “shading” tab. The Properties tab is opened and my only option to affect the cell color is the Background Color option. It defualts with RGB codes for white and I have removed them.
The box indicating the background color then shows and X through it impling there is no color. (See attachment)
SAP claims this is a defect and cannot be accomplished. If you know a way around the problem, that’s great!
[i]The thing I want to point out here is the BACKGROUND setting. You see, in Web Intelligence, you cannot set the cells in a table to be transparent. Thats always bugged me. However, you can set the background to be transparent by default by changing the BACKGROUND line to the following:
<BACKGROUND R=" G=" B="/>
If you do this, you probably want to do the same for the next section, alternate body cells in a table (Alternate Row Shading), so the entire body of the table is transparent. After making this change, your table body will be transparent by default, but you can add color, to the background if you choose.[/i]
Read the whole blog post for how to apply to Rich Client.
