Make the purple box around text and icon of a button go away?

I have noticed that the first button of a group (or the last one pressed) displays a purple box around the text and/or the icon of a button. I don't want this. How do I get rid of it?

Have you tried setting the colour that you want manually? Or perhaps setting the setOpaque() method with false?
Not entirely sure what you mean...what look and feel are you using? Is it the Metal LAF or something else?

How to make the bookmarks bar JUST text and without the "Bookmarks" drop down and make the other bar have text with pictures? How to download a previous version of firefox?

The option is to set text, text and pictures, or pictures but it affects both bars and how to get the old version back because I just wanted a stupid addon that I didn't even need and now is firefox just stuck this way. I know it's better to have the new version for security or whatever but the new features are bad for me personally I can't use this program how can I get the old version again please help. Or at least help me fix my bookmarks bar it was carefully made so I can do my work but now it has been destroyed and it can't get rid of the icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?

So if the bookmarks toolbar is fixed up you don't need to go back to Firefox 4. That's easy.
This styling will change the bookmark folders to blue (most common) and the few bookmarks to red. Most would have short names 1-4 characters. Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension and then the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie style(s)] suggested below.
* '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
* '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/46947
'''Additional styling suggestions'''
* '''Scrollbar Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org http://userstyles.org/styles/52
* '''Scrollbar Context Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/54
The drop-down at the end wouldn't be there as long as everything fits on the row.
:Once you start using styles you will really like them because you can control/modify/use them independently as building blocks as opposed to someone elses full theme design or extension.
I fail to see how the above is ''sketchy''
# Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension
# Install the suggested Style
The advantage of a style is that they are very small compared to extensions, and if you don't like they way it looks, you can modify it. Try to do that with an extension.
The suggested style shows folders in blue, and bookmarklets or bookmarks in red used as buttons.
The deiconizer extension looks rather hard to read, seems rather large for what it does, and it has space wasting drop downs which are meaningless, simply left click to show the folder.
''it can't get rid of the (bookmark/folder) icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?''
The Home button would show as text ("Home") with the style change, as for Refresh ("F5") and Stop("Esc") the keyboard shortcuts work better for me anyway and have never included them on my toolbars. I keep the Home button to the left of the Location bar anyway so it shows an icon.
'''For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox''', find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11. Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.

Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

When I try to connect my bluetooth keyboard to my ipad, the dialog box pops up and says: "Make sure 'Apple Wireless Keyboard' is turned on and in range." But the keyboard is turned on and is right in front of the ipad. Any thoughts?

When I try to cnnect my bluetooth keyboard to my ipad, the dialogue box pops up and says: "Make sure 'Apple Wireless Keyboard' is turned on and in range." The thing is, the keyboard is on and is sitting in front of the ipad. I have used it before, but not for many months. I changed the batteries today just in case. The green light on the keyboard comes on and continues blinking. What am I missing?

Keyboards Can only be paired with one device at the time so if it's paired with another device IN range it Will not pair with the ipad

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

Windows updates gave me version of Firefox that does not allow me to have Text and Icon in Menu Bar, lost my autofill; how do I get old version back?

Windows updates this morning gave me a different firefox: the Customize box includes fewer choices. No Text and Icon, which I want. Also, this new version dropped my Autofill.

It wasn't Windows update that caused this, but Firefox automatic updates. It's the new Firefox 29 Australis, their attempt to look more like Chrome. They dramatically changed the UI, removing several features in the process. If the way it looks bothers you as much as it does others you can install Firefox 28 again by going here;
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/win32/en-US/
That of course does come with the risk of security exploits they fixed with 29, so beware of that. I also don't know if it will repair your auto fill or anything.
Otherwise if you don't mind the new look, keep using it.

Creating boxes around text....

Hi,
I'm hoping there is a better solution to this problem then what I've using.
I would like to be able to create a box around text that is able to resize when increasing/decreasing font.
My working solution is to create a text box with text then use direct selection tool to select the anchors and convert that into a shape, either a rectangle or rounded rectangle. This isn't bad since it allows an equal amount of space around the text but it does have problems. If the font size increases or decreases, the box remains the same. I have to use the Area Type Option to resize the box. Also, if I wanted to do this for lots of boxes then I have to select all of the individual anchors which will be time consuming.
Is there a simpler solution?
Thanks.

Use the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) to select the text and then add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel.
Move the new fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
With that fill highlighted choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

Hello,

A way to temporarily hide the selection box around an object while nudging it.

InDesign
I would like to see a simple "Hide All" type command, similar to the "Hide Extras" feature in Photoshop - this would leave the page in a blank/ "preview" like view, but with selected objects still selected and therefore able to be moved around without seeing the Blue Selection Box.
PROBLEM:
I am looking for a way to temporarily hide the selection box around an object while nudging it.
I want to visually nudge items around to find the ideal placement and I find the selection box distracting how it follows the object around as it is being nudged.
(For anyone familiar with Photoshop, —I am looking for something that works exactly like "Hide" cmd+H (VIEW > Extras) does in PS - where the selection goes away but the object is still adjustable.

Thanks, but I don't see how that's helpful really.
SHIFT+W goes into full on presentation mode already.
Also, —this still doesn't solve the problem of being able to move an element around without a selection box getting in the way.
I don't believe that a solution exists, I'm just checking with the community if one does.

What are the square brackets around paragraphs and heads?

I am hoping that someon can hlep me with this topic. I can not seems to find anything on this matter.
I have recieved an InDesign file for a book that we are updating the design and content for. All the text in this file has Square brackets, at the begining and end, of each paragraph or head. I have never seen this before, coming from a Quark background.
The characters are visible in "normal mode", but they disapear when you view in "preview" mode.
Can anyone please tell me what the Square brackets around text means?

If you are using OSX this AppleScript should remove all of the XML tags, but test it carefully on a copy of the document:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
try
untag (every XML element of document 1)
end try
end tell
If you are not on a Mac I'm sure you could get the equivalent JavaScript at the scripting forum.

Is there a way to make the scroll wheel move up and down instantly like you could with previous versions, instead of moving slowly up and down?

I've only recently updated my firefox to v 15.0.1 after using v 10 for so long, and I was wondering if there is a way to make the scroll wheel move up and down instantly without having it slowly crawl to it's spot?

you can disable smooth scrolling.
