Keynote background opacity does not change

Hi all,
I want to make a transparent background on on Keynote'09 5.1.1 (1034). The background colour opacity does not change for some unknown reason.
This is the way I do it: open keynote - select a white or black theme - open the inspector - go to slide inspector - go to appearance - set background as colour fill - double click on the slide icon on the bottom of the inspector to open the colour inspector - set opacity to 0% - close the colour inspector - open it again and the opacity is 100% again.
Please help!

ilyasmussin is right. There is a way to change the opacity level of a background image in Keynote.
This discussion is not about changing the opacity of an image, it is about how to create
a transparent background, refer to the the original post quoted below.
I am trying to export a video with a transparent background. in Keynote.
I explained in my last post that the background layer can not be  made transparent in Keynote as there is no alpha channel in Keynote. The background layer will always be filled with either an image or a colour matte.
What you describe, is changing the opacity of an object, which the original poster knows how to do.
This Keynote canvass should explain the difference between opacity and transparency, the same image is placed on an orange object with different properties applied:
1 - 0 % transparency and 100% opacity
2 - 100 % transparent background using an alpha chanel created in Photoshop,
               and 100 % opacity
3 - 0 % transparency and 50% opacity
4 - 100 % transparent background and 50% opacity

  • Import status- import running does not change during the mass import of TR

    Dear All,
    I have successfully imported single requests in my newly installed SAP ECC EHP4 PRD system but when I have tried to import 8 transport requests(Mass Import) then the Import status is not changing from import running (Truck button still appears).
    But the effect of the request is seen in the production system but the status does not change.
    I have checked the logs and found that all the requests have been imported successfully but the Truck status does not change.
    I have restated the system but no use still the same.
    Thanks in Advance...

  • When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I solve this?

    When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I rectify this?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • JProgressBar background color does not work in XP with JRE 1.4.2

    Hi,
    I am setting the background color of JProgressBar. While it used to work in 1.4.1, the background color does not show in 1.4.2 on XP. It looks like it has something to do with the XP L&F in 1.4.2. I am setting the L&F to systemlookand feel. Is anyone aware of anyworkaround for this? Setting the opaque property does not help either. I don't want to say swing.xp=false. We need the xp look and feel.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Sujatha.

    Actually I draw a blank looking into it a bit deeper. The Windows UI paintXPBackground method is private and the XPStyle class can not be accessed outside the package. I guess the reason for this is to protect the XP LAF from having the backgrounds changed etc.
    If it is important to you the source is available for you to replicate your own MyXPStyle class and then you would have to recreate the whole paintDeterminate methods in your MyProgressBarUI class. It would not be very future proof though.

  • When I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure, but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm

    Hi
    I have an uploading problem to the server. The problem is when I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure,
    but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm, or three stages1.htm.
    My Localroot folder is C:\Gods Plan Web\
    The site map layout is C:\Gods Plan Web\Index.htm
    The folder for the remote site is /public_html/
    Should the local root folder mirror the remote site, i.e./public_html/
    if this is so, what should I put into the
    (a) Local Root Folder box?
    (b) site map layout box?
    The FTP is performing well other than changing the intended file.

    You should be uploading only the contents of your local root to the public_html folder (remote root).
    The index.html you use as your site's home page needs to be in your site root. If you look at your Files window in DW, you should have something like the following...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         index.html
         images
         pages
              page1.html
              page2.html
    If you have any folder between Site - and the index.html page, like...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         mywebsite
              index.html
    It will upload to the public_html while still in that folder, so to find your page online, you would need to type something like...
    www.mydomain.com/mywebsite
    public_html should NOT appear within your local files and if it existed there, would cause a redundancy if uploaded. You would need to type www.yourdomain.com/public_html to see the uploaded pages.
    If you could post a screen shot of your expanded Files window while connected to the server (just connect and click the Expand button in Files, don't drill down into any of the directories), we may be able to see the issue.

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2

    Hi All,
    20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.

    Hi ,
    I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
    and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
    1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion. 
    2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
    I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in  the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
    and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
    I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
    Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
    Thanks,
    Vennayat

  • In Adobe Acrobat X Standard, our user used to be able to resize drawings to 8.5 x 10, it stopped working yesterday. It allows her to do this without an error but the size does not change?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

  • ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

    iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

    Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently.  What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action.  You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

    Hi Jaap,
    Are you sure about your FTP credentials (FTP folder and site URL) that you are using for the upload? Are you able to see the updated files in the remote directory of the FTP server, after you finish uploading the muse file, using an external FTP client like FileZilla?
    Thanks

  • Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

    I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
    Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
    It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
    At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
    The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
    With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
    This thing drives me crazy!
    Solutions?
    Here some ideas in other foums:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
    But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

    I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
    The Result:
    Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
    BUT
    Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
    I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
    And that's not all!
    After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
    Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!

  • Tabset in page fragment , the url does not changes when we select tabs...

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post.
    i noticed that when we use a tabSet in a page fragment , selecting tabs does not change the current URL ,
    is it a correct manner ? I think when we select a tab and it opens another page the url should change.
