Designing websites I often want to use a colour or image as a background. This often involves changing the default colour of the text, or creating a semi-transparent text background to make the text readable.
Is there any way a website section or div can automatically sense what is happening in the page background and then adjust the colour, contrast or strength of the text to aid redability??
I asked a question here

Google identifies the text colours from coding like if black it will be coded with #000000, and Google read this code and identifies that it is black colour,
However if colour in coding is black ie #000000, and with some other plugin I change it to white in appearance without changing coding.
In this condition Google can able to identify the difference between white and black text? or it will considered black as what in mention coding of text.
You can use Google Search Console to fetch and render. This will show you both what a normal browser can see and how Googlebot sees a page.
My Website iascoachingindia.in have some coloured boxes with white text on, however background colour is dark and clearly visible to human eye, but I felt Google proffered text which is black in text with white background.
Please anybody have some experienced in the same??
Google can crawl and index all the fonts and color, but the most important thing is to avoid make it spammy by adding the same font color with the same background color.
Also if its with the same color, still Google can access them and index them but you will get a penalty.
A quick question regarding the Chrome Badge/Browser Action API.
Is there a method to set the badge text colour? (much like you can with the back colour).
I'm sure I remember seeing a reference to a method such as SetBadgeTextColor() somewhere on the Internet (not sure where, mind).
Edit: Chromium Wiki - Browser Actions Proposal
The link above is where I saw a method to set the badge text colour. Was this proposal ever implemented?
You cannot change the text color directly.
What you can do is to paint the base image on a canvas, then draw the text using your desired color and finally use chrome.browserAction.setIcon to update the badge.
chrome ext detects badge bg color (light or dark) and set text color automatically (black or white). if your background color is around the boundary of those. try to increase or decrease your bg color code e.g your bg color is red #FF0000 then chrome will detects it as light but when you decrease the color code hex to #FE0000 it will detected as dark, and it's still solid red in our eyes
I have a design in .psd format. It is using various layers and diffrent settings for opacity. I am using Photoshop CS3. How can I get background color of the layer. One way is to use in-build Color Palette utility but that doesn't suits me. I want a way by which I can get exact Brush that is used for the background. It may or may not have Gradients.
Not that this is programming related, but use the eye-dropper tool.

Once the color is placed into your "foreground color" box, click the box and it will show you the color in RGB, Hex, and pretty much any other way you can display a color value.
Is there any program that can convert a file into an animated gif by taking the bytes (whatever I see on an editor is seen) and producing them on frames? Im trying to change a large script I wrote into an image so that if I run it, it looks like as if the code is scrolling. I would use photoshop, if I knew how to use it. Even then, the code is really big, so I dont want to be doing it frame by frame.
Whatever you see on the editor screen is ... a screenfull, so why not a screen capture program like http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm
However, I suspect that you want to convert the entire file to a gif, since you talk of scrolling. Is that so?
If so, be aware that animated GIFs are limited to 8 frames, so you might want to convert to another movie format.
You could, for instance, Google for "text to MPEG". If nothing does it directly, get something that adds subtitles & make your video a solid white background *or match your webpage).
Maybe simpler is something like this ...
