Effects change bounding box background color

This is a technical continuation of my earlier inquiry - to which I found a workaround but not the solution.
Create a document with a black background.
Drop a graphic with a transparent background, or a block of white text, on that background.
Print. You have stuff on a black background.
Now apply an effect to that graphic or text - emboss, glow, whatever.
Print. If you're like me, you have stuff in a noticeable dark-black bounding box on a less-black background.
Why?
Despite much discussion and suggestions of the obvious (match color spaces, use CMYK graphic, remove underlying black background, etc.) not one thing I ever tried eliminated this bounding-box shadow, which, oddly, does not seem to appear on other colored background, even dark ones. ID is doing something with the black background... but what?
This also happens when (as in my specific case) a photo with a rich-black background refuses to match with a black background of the same color build. The photo is a deeper, shinier, rich black while the graphic black is colder and grayer.
The only thing I can think of is that it's an artifact of my HP print drivers, so I'd be interested in seeing who can replicate this fault and who can't. ...thanks!

The full-rasterization technique in the original post fixes the problem, yes. I experimented with quite a few other settings along this line including letting the printer handle color and setting the mode to PS2. Nothing - as before - corrected the issue.
So what exactly is the problem here? Is ID sending badly formed PS code? Is there a bug in the PS3 interpreter? Or what? And is there any way to actually fix this, or is the ID-rastering setting the only way?
And, finally, is this only an issue on my printer, or will the magazine's page imager render the same fault? These are pretty expensive ads for the client and I don't want to see these lovely bands when the magazine hits my desk. If it's just my printer, I can live with the workaround. But as this is a high-end HP with genuine PS3, how can a RIP with PS3 handle it any differently?
Thanks for the workaround, in any case. I'd still like to fix the PROBLEM, if I can.

  • How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

    How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
    By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
    Thanks

    The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
    You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
    Example:
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
        final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
        List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
          tempResult.add("Item " + i);
        choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
        VBox root = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();   
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    choiceBox.css:
    @CHARSET "UTF-8";
    #choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
    -fx-background-color: yellow ;
    #choice-box-menu-item .label {

    Hi,
    Let's take Outlook 2013 for example, go to FILE tab ->

    Use this color on all calendar ->
    OK.
    In case the Navigation Pane is corrupted, we may try starting Outlook with the switch "/resetnavpane":

  • How to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?

    Hello all,
    I am just starting to study the sdk (Mac CC). Currently, I am seeking the answer to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?
    Is it possible to do so? In addition, will the Image Mode such as RGB, CYMK or Grayscale be effecting such solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    These are NOT dropdown menus. They are dropdown LISTS.
    http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Drop_DownMenus.html
    And from the links in the Google search you can learn that a list item has no style.
    And a dropdown list behaves differently from dropdown menus. Here's how it looks on Mobile Safari :

  • How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
    I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Similar question asked by TH received another response.
    Here is the address of that question and answer:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
    I like the solution recommended there.
    Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

    When I have a HD clip in the canvas window I get the letterbox look.
    The bars are currently grey which I assume is default.
    Is there anyway to change the canvas background color to black?

    Just hit Control + U if you fancy the standard layout
    or go to FCP main menu>Window>Arrange> Two Up
    if you fancy a more useful layout (IMO).
    These actions will clear the confusion.
    I have the Two Up view shortcut set to Shift + 2 (You can choose your own).
    You can achieve that by customizing your keyboard shortcuts (Alt/Otion + H to start with keyboard layout customization).

  • Can i change the preview background color?

    thanks
    i use bridge cs6

    can i change the preview background color?
    Yes you can do so in the Bridge preferences under general both Ui interface and image backdrop can be changed
    In the same preferences Cache you can change the location of the central cache to where ever you will. But you have to realize that if you use an external disk this can cause all kinds of problems regarding speed, performance and permission issues. best to keep it on an internal disk and having an SSD available will be even better because you will benefit from performance and speed very much.
    it's gray , may i change it?
    As long as you have a legal version and it is able to change then feel free to set it to your own custom wishes...

  • Edit Band.css file to change datasheet view background color causes adverse effects

    Hi. I'm using SharePoint 2007 still and we are using the blueglassband.master theme.  With this theme the background color of the site is a dark blue but this causes datasheet view grids to be extremely dark.
    I have found fixes to edit the .body tag and set it to FFFFFF and then add a form#aspnetForm element and set the dark blue background there, and this has worked successfully...
    Or so I thought.  It turns out this has caused a weird issue in other pages in SharePoint where-by half the page is dark blue as expected, but then it changes to white.
    Even more bizarre, it seems the "half way" mark where the color changes is dependent on the initial size of the IE window when the page gets first rendered.  That is, the blue to white change occurs at the point in the page that touches the
    bottom of the IE window.  Bigger IE window = change happens later.
    Any ideas on this one?

    Hi,
    For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.

  • Can change work-space background color without effect on HTML?

    I'd like to have a dark work-space background-color (for the

    the interface) when I work in my included files, instead of
    the default
    white. Can I have it without setting a true CSS that affects
    the real
    appearance of the page?

    > But... can I apply this to all my files (the entire

    file by file.
    Or- there is this pay for extension:
    http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=61265
    The info about the stylesheets for a given filename is in a
    hidden
    filename.mno design note, so an .mno design note has to be
    created for each
    file.
