Create a grey box background within an Ax 2009 report - report

I always seem to be having fun working with the Ax 2009 product until I have to touch the now deprecated reporting tool. Today I've been asked to highlight some column titles and a totals area with a grey or shaded background. The *tutorial_ColourLines* report isn't what I need as we do not want to colour the whole report section. We only want to change the background color for labels or better yet, inside a shape.
Thanks

Revisiting the TrucosAx.com link in Spanish I posted in the questions comments, I've obtained an imperfect way of producing the silver backgrounds.
Create a Text object but makes sure it is behind all of the other controls, by moving it up the list of objects in the report section.
Set the new object as having the same dimensions and position as our original column title or label.
Change the original column title background colour.
Change the foreground and background colour of our new text object as well.
Fill the text object's Text property with garbage: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO etc.
Any better suggestion is most welcome.

how to get the background color in figma that appear as photo?

I'm trying to get the background color which is linear gradient from this template but it appear as background image , any help please?
In Figma, images are actually a type of shape fill. Like colors or gradients.
In the template you linked, you can replace the gradient background with a different one, like a photo background.
This technique won't create a separate layer for the image. Instead, it's a fill for the parent frame.
Steps:
On that file, go a blank area and then insert the photo/picture that you actually want as the new background image for the webpage design.
Select the photo/picture.
On the fill panel, click leftmost part of the Image fill to select it. Then press CTRL+C to copy it.
Select the background frame that has the gradient.
On the Fill Panel, delete the Image. Because the gradient design is actually a pasted image.
With the background frame still selected, press CTRL+V.

r googleVis: How to control html tooltips (positioning, border and background)

I have figured out how to create custom html tooltips by using roles via googleVis. I can easily modify the content using html but I cannot understand how I can control the tooltip box itself.
My problem was generated because some of the custom tooltips I created are falling outside my chart area and I tried (unsuccessfully) to find a way to control the tooltip position. Idealy I would like to make them behave in the exact same way default tooltips behave in googleVis (always stay withinin the chart area).
When I later implemented the same concept into a line chart I found that I have another problem as well. The tooltip is falling on the line so I cannot see what is the exact point that refers to the tooltip.
Would it be possible for example to keep the callout style of default googleVis tooltip and change the content with HTML?
Additionally, do you know if there is any way to control more tooltip properties like border and background color?
i was also looking for the same
1) when laying out your data, make sure it has columns alternating between, say, data and tooltips, data and tooltips,... that way it is possible to customize tooltips for multiple columns (it does not work if you just append - à la cbind - a set of tooltips columns to your data frame).

CSS change child colors based on math?

Alright, I'll admit that title seems a bit cryptic, but here's the situation:
I have a list of actors on a page with photos and short bios, each one is its own <div>. Let's say that I have seven actors on my page, and I want the text colors in their boxes to change, say, to create a rainbow, so actor 1 would be red, 2 would be orange, 3 would be yellow, and so on. Can I do this without having to manually specify style="color:rgb(whatever)" on every div? Let's say I want the color values to change dynamically if I add more people to the list or take them away, so I'd specify a beginning color value of rgb(255,0,0) for red and and end value of rgb(255,0,255) for violet and somehow fill in the rest, so that each subsequent box has a different text color but all together they make a rainbow.
...or would I be forced to use JavaScript to do this?
No you need not required to red color manually you can use CSS nth-child selectors please check below tutorial

How to Fill in the Area Underneath an ASP.Net Spline Chart Control with a Color?

I have an ASP.Net Chart Control of ChartType "Spline", one ChartArea and one Series (it's a sparkline). I was just wondering if anyone out there knew how I could color the area underneath the line - I can't seem to find the property that allows me to do this without coloring the entire background.
Thanks in advance
You need to have a chart with a ChartType of Area to achieve this type of look (similar to google analytics). I have tried it and it does work although i'm not sure how you might get the line to be one particular colour and the area underneath to be a second colour?

Flex BarChart long text

In my application, I am using a BarChart to display data. However, the text in the category axis can be too long to display on the chart, so flex adjusts the font size automatically to the point that the data is either unreadable, or the text is partially visible.
The length of the text varies every time new data comes in, so I can't set the gutterLeft attribute to a static value at runtime.
Two things that come to my mind are:
Change the gutter dynamically according to new data
Have a scroll bar on the categoryaxis so that if any text won't fit in the space, the user can scroll to see it
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I have hundreds of rows of data being graphed at once, so I can't really use a legend for each item.
Also, I have no idea how to change the gutterLeft property with actionscript. Doing it in MXML is as simple as
gutterLeft="100"
but I cannot access the property using actionscript. I also tried to bind the gutterLeft variable to an integer and change that integer and it still didn't work. :|
the problem is that gutterleft is a style, and therefor needs to be set as one when using actionscript.
I was hoping to see your code to give a more detailed answer but what you want to do is:
mychart.setStyle("gutterLeft",500);
