I am replacing the cursor with an SVG, and it doesn't match the color of other elements on the page.
I have attached an image below (taken with my phone, because I cannot screenshot the cursor) Both SVGs were saved from the same file, both have a color value of #FF0000. This persists across all browsers.
The TOP button is applied as a background to the element.
How can I fix this?
Apparently, the two colors appear to be identical on some monitors, but drastically different on others. In particular it's the Apple Color LCD profile on Macbook Pros that creates a drastic difference. Unfortunately this isn't something I will be able to solve.

I've been building a website under Ubuntu 17.10 and use Firefox and Chromium for testing. The two browsers show quite different colors (not only for images but all colors) and I always thought that it is Chromium which for some reason wrongly over-saturates them, so up until now I always chose colors that looked right in Firefox.
But I'm starting to get more and more complaints about the website's background being too purple - which it shouldn't be in my opinion as only the blue component of it's color (#eeeeff) is "elevated", but it has reached a point that more people are seeing it as purple than blue, what makes me confused.
This is the aforementioned color displayed in Firefox (left) and Chromium (right).
And this is how I see a website:
The difference is quite large (notice how even the favicon is different) and I'm asking you to tell me which one is the browser I should trust when choosing the colours of my websites and whether I could do something to avoid it being displayed so differently in different browsers.
(There are some users that see the overly saturated colors in Firefox too. So now which is the right one, really?)
Another option is to open chrome://flags/ and select the option sRGB on the Force color profile item.
By using this setting instead of disabling the Use hardware acceleration when available, you don't lose some nice features like the 3D view on Google Maps.
Solution found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/74h5yh/blue_shows_as_purple_in_chrome/
Using GPick as a Color Picker and calling a Website with Color Hexcode like
http://www.color-hex.com/color-palette/54430
I see, that Firefox renders the RGB Colors exactly, meaning GPick identifies the same Hex Code from CSS.
Whereas Chromium renders some kind of differnt color.
You can call
chrome://flags/#force-color-profile
and set the Color Profile in Chromium to sRGB, so the rendered Color from Chromium is identified the same as the HexCode with GPick.
If you disable 'Use hardware acceleration when available' in Chromium Settings and relaunch, Chromium displays colors correctly. When turned on, Chromium colors are off. I consider this as a workaround until Chromium color management issue with hardware acceleration is resolved.
With the other two colours being equal, your colour is right in the middle of "blue territory".
If you convert it to HSL and look on the hue line, you can see it is right in the middle of the "blue" frequency range.
Consequently, any hint of green or red is incorrect.
I am seeing a strange issue in Safari 10 that may be present in earlier versions. When SVG content is present in the document along with a content editable div the text is disappearing. This happens mostly when selecting text, but also while toggling the display property of the svg content. Here are a few videos showing the behavior: http://www.screencast.com/t/CeyFqYyfeFZW

I can't make the application available publicly. We have a pretty complex document composition layer which is probably to blame. I'll try posting an isolated test later. I have only observed this issue on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.05). iOS seems to be fine. If anyone has seen this issue before please let me know. Thanks!
After a bunch of tests I figured out that in this particular example the problem is caused by the situation when editable text has higher z-index than image (raster or svg). Image can be placed anywhere, but not geometrically below the text. This issue also is specific to Safari 10+. Testing the original example in 9.1 everything works.
I have created a simple example testing z-index https://jsfiddle.net/xngmocxm/9/
There is a background element, which is jpeg, it has z-index = 0, 2 svg path elements (grey and red), 2 editable text elements and svg image (HomeSmart in the top left corner).
Z-index of the left text element is set to 30, right one has z-index 20, svg image z-index is set to 25, i.e. in between 2 text elements. In test browser I can see that in this case only the left text disappears, right one is shown and selected just fine.
So the svg that is above the text does not manifest the issue, but if the SVG is below the editable text this issue occurs.
If image content is jpeg, it also causes same issue:
img src https://jsfiddle.net/xngmocxm/12/
Anyway I was able to fix this by setting overflow to hidden on image wrapper of the problematic image element. I think this a is Safari bug and not intentional behavior.
I was trying to use a coloured texture (PNG 24/RGB) for a POI (bicycle_parking) and it was not being rendered. It was added properly as a texture, it just won't be rendered on the POI.
After some testing I came to believe that POIs only accept grayscale textures that can later be filled up with a color. Is this right?
I also found out that the icon needs to be of a specific size (I got it working only at 32x32 pixels and 512x512, but the scaling did not make it look good). Is there any information regarding this?
Now I have a grayscale icon (mostly white) but the fill color does not change the white as expected. This is as far as I got..
Here's a set of icons similar to the ones I need to render into POIs
How could I achieve adding this type of icons as the texture of a POI? Workarounds/hacks are welcome as well :)
Thanks!
The texture of the Poi must have a size that is a power of 2 and goes from 32x32 up until 512x512. Also make sure that the colour code of that image is RGB anything else wont work. For the best visual result you have to create 3 sets of pngs for different screen densities, for example see heatmap_legend.png then look at heatmap_legend#2x.png and heatmap_legend#3x.png, you can find them in the "common" folder.
So turns out that the color wasn't a problem after all. It was quite tricky to get one image working, but once I had the image working, adding color to it and saving the PNG worked just fine.
The problem with the image size I experienced is still happening. You need to export it in 32x32, 64x64 or 96x96 in order to StyleEditor not to crash when opening the file.
I've placed an image on top of a div. I'm trying to blend the image into the div (The div is a solid color). In Google Chrome, it looks great! The colors blend perfectly. In IE 7, however, the colors show a hard line even though they should be the same color! After some examination (a print screen put into paint.net to check the actual RGB values), IE 7 is actually lightning up my image.
The blend has to look seamless. Google Chrome was fine with this thus far. Any ideas why IE 7 wont display the color right?
The two browsers are using different rendering engines. There are minor differences between them in how they render graphics, particularly jpegs.
The differences are minor but unavoidable.
Most of the time it goes unnoticed; it only makes an appearance in cases like yours when you try to position it against an element with a solid background colour that is supposed to be the same.
You may be able to resolve the issue by using a different image format. Try saving the image as a PNG. PNGs tend to be rendered more accurately between the browsers than jpegs, so that might be enough to solve your problem.
If that doesn't solve your problem, you could try using PNGs alpha transparency feature to produce an image with a fade to transparent at the edge, and then overlap the background colour behind it. This will definitely give you a smooth transition, but is a bit more technical, so harder to achieve. It will also give you problems with older versions of IE (IE6 for sure, I think you'll be okay with IE7), as they had some major bugs with PNG transparency. (If this is an issue for you, there are work-arounds for this; google IEPNGFix for more)
I'd like to improve upon jQuery's dialog code by using CSS-sprites, and thus also add animations of the dialog borders.
To do this, i'd like all the artwork to be in 1 png file, a css sprite.
My problem is that in order to support a dialog that maximizes to 2 or 3 monitors, i think i'd have to put 5000px wide / high border graphics in the css sprite file. Because i can't find a way to resize a selected portion of a css sprite image.
Basically i want to resize from the sprite image a region (t,l,w,h) to a DIV or IMG on my page with a different width and height.
I'd like to know, is this even possible? It seems background-position does not support this at all.
I've tried the first solution in How can I scale an image in a CSS sprite, but could not get it to work using that.
I've tried using the new background-size property in conjunction with background-position, but that also does not produce the results i want.
Spent another few hours twiddling with css, but could not get sprites to work for dialogs.
But my animated dialogs don't need many frames (not unless you want to put actual video as a dialog backdrop online), so for the dialog theme i'm designing now i have 8 312x312 png's as frames, 8 requests, 386kb total. Just enough to create a glowing animation for when the dialog is in a "highlighted" state. It's do-able.
I'm using the technique from How can I scale an image in a CSS sprite
See http://mediabeez.ws in about a month for the opensource release of animated dialogs.
I will be developing and testing this standalone component when it's used by my own homegrown CMS, so it will have the ability do be themed, dragged and dropped, things like that.
