dialog displaying dialog boxes image configuration - linux

I am trying to use dialog on my Linux box. The output does not seem proper.
If you look at not the whole box outline is in black. Can you please what are some commonly used color settings.
I cannot use whiptail.

dialog by default draws a shadow to imitate a 3-dimensional view (see screenshots). According to the manual page, that is optional:
--no-shadow
Suppress shadows that would be drawn to the right and bottom of
each dialog box.

WiX Installer placing checkbox below custom bitmap image on dialog

I've added the "Launch program" checkbox on the final card of the installer, but for some reason WiX is placing the checkbox below the custom bitmap instead of on top of it with the other text. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting the checkbox directly below the other text instead of below the background image?
I followed the tutorial on this page to add the checkbox: https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/run_program_after_install.html
I came across this page on the WiX toolset docs. Basically, it says that the checkbox with the grey background is a common complaint and there's a workaround mentioned, but not a way to remove the background.
And a common complaint: no, the checkbox can't have a transparent background. If you have a bitmap in the background, it will be ugly, just like in our example above. The only workaround is to reduce the width of the checkbox to the actual box itself and to place an additional static text (these can be made transparent) adjacent to it.
EDIT (for completeness): It looks like my initial guess on what was going on with the bitmap image wasn't accurate, based on the above-quoted page. Closing this as answered.

Attribute inspector for buttons has no background color

Sorry but looks a simple question. In the attribute inspector menu of all my buttons the background color option menu/property disappeared in Main storyboard. I cannot change the color. I can change the text color, the shadow color, the background gives only the option of images but no color?? I rebooted xcode, and the MacBook as well.
I found the issue. On the attribute inspector at the very bottom there is the view section. On the right of the View there was missing "show" word, looks like a bug and that's why I have not seen that I could expand the view. Now that I expanded it I can hide and show with this right button and the keyword show is there again.

Can I use an image instead of a title in an Apple Watch app?

How can I put an icon in the top left label and make fullscreen? Apple allocates some space on top for the digital clock and back label. I would like to customize it, but I can't find anything in the SDK to enable this.
The top strip of the Watch screen is reserved for displaying the page title, or occasionally links such as "Cancel" by default for modal views, and the clock. It is not possible to hide this.
It is possible to set an empty title for a page. Some settings will alsoplace a background image behind this text (if you set the mode to 'Aspect Fill', at least in the current Xcode 6.2 beta 3). However, the portion of the image at the top of the screen is simply occluded by a black strip, so this does not achieve what you want.
Additionally, Apple have specifically recommended against displaying logos on the Apple Watch screen, with the rationale that the screen is too small to display for the user anything but actual content.
To set the Global tint:
Select the Interface Controller itself in Interface Builder by clicking on the Yellow circle at the top of the view of the screen.
Press Cmd-Opt-1 to display the File Inspector section of the Utilites on the right hand side.
Set the 'Global Tint' option in the section 'Interface Builder Document', as per the screenshot.
Not possible in the first cut but I think it will come later.
It's not actually a back label. The text in the top left of the Watch screen is the title of the current WKInterfaceController. You can change it by using -[WKInterfaceTitle setTitle:], but you are limited to content that is expressible in an NSString (so no UIImages).
It is possible to customise the status bar in watchOS 4.
Select your interface controller in the storyboard
Open the attributes inspector
Check the Full Screen checkbox
After doing this you can add your custom image to the left of the statusbar.

Ncurses: Dialog box background color be changed?

I am working on Linux Operating System. I want to display a dialog box on an item selection from a drop down menu implemented in ncurses, but the problem is that the dialog box fills up the screen with blue background and further nothing can be done.So, is there a way to display ncurses dialog box inside current window preserving existing ncurses components?
Thanks in advance.
You might use CDK (Curses development kit) to the create dialog box. It provides many other widgets that you can use such as,
Alphalist
Button
Buttonbox
Calendar
Entry Field
File Viewer
Floating Scale
Floating Slider
Graph
Histogram etc...

How to remove the dark shadow of the screen when a Dialog is shown?

When a Dialog is shown then the background of screen is darkened. I want to remove this darkness so that the screen looks like normal. How to achieve that ?
When you show a Dialog the background becomes a Form, changing its style you can modify the background of a Dialog. I don´t really know if you can make this Form transparent. I use the LWUIT-Theme creator and modifiying the Form´s style, I can change the background for an image o for one colour.
Try it here!

Set the tint color of the parent form, you can also set this in the look and feel class and within the theme constants in the resource editor.
just add below code on your dialog:
dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
