im trying to set a report default background color but it appears black instead of blue, can anyone help?
Why is that? do i need to use another format that is not hex? iv tryied with other format and still nothing.
docpath="/Users/ricardosimoes/Desktop/DESKTOP/Jira/my_word_file.docx"
mydoc = docx.Document()
section_h = mydoc.sections[0]
header = section_h.header
styles = mydoc.styles
style = styles.add_style('Tahoma',WD_STYLE_TYPE.PARAGRAPH)
style.font.name = 'Tahoma'
style.font.size = Pt(11)
shd = OxmlElement('w:background')
# Add attributes to the xml element
shd.set(qn('w:color'), '#0000FF')
shd.set(qn('w:themeColor'), 'text1')
shd.set(qn('w:themeTint'), 'F2')
# Add background element at the start of Document.xml using below
mydoc.element.insert(0, shd)
# Add displayBackgroundShape element to setting.xml
shd1 = OxmlElement('w:displayBackgroundShape')
mydoc.settings.element.insert(0, shd1)
paragraph_h = header.paragraphs[0]
runheader = paragraph_h.add_run()
runheader.add_picture("client_report/report_img/titulo.png", width=docx.shared.Inches(5), height=docx.shared.Inches(1))
mydoc.add_picture("client_report/report_img/bottom.png", width=docx.shared.Inches(5),
height=docx.shared.Inches(1))
mydoc.save(docpath)
>Solution :
The snippet seems to supply all three of the w:color, w:themeColor and w:themeTint attributes, and the latter two override the first one. The ECMA-376 standard says about the w:color attribute:
If the background specifies the use of a theme color via the themeColor attribute, this value is ignored. [Note: Applications are discouraged from specifying both the color and themeColor attributes on the same parent element. end note]
I haven’t tested this, but removing themeColor and themeTint (and dropping the # from 0000FF) should cause the blue color to show up.
