Black outlines around my icons

Every icon I click on has a black outline around it. Plus I have 2 Shutdowns instead of one? It's very distracting

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, and turn VoiceOver off.

How do I get a black outline around my shapes?

Hello I somehow managed to get a black outline around my shapes (as seen in the attachment) which I would like to know how to do. I have no idea how I did this! Can anyone help?

Lanithu,
If you mean the black shapes of varying width showing the hand and face, you may start/do it in this way for each:
1) Create the basic shape (one of the edges) with a stroked path;
2) Move a copy the desired distance in the desired direction (down to the right for the hand, a bit up to the right for the face);
3) Adjust Anchor Points as desired (such as (some of) the ones at the mouth);
4) Select the inner path and Object>Path>Offest Path to create the path for the Path Type, delete unwanted segments (the end segments and the opposite part); you may Type before or after going on with the shapes;
5) Connect each pair of paths to form closed paths, and reshape the end portions as desired;
6) Add fill and remove stroke.

Black outline around whole screen

My imac recently began to display a thick black outline around the screen, about a half inch on the sides, a little less on top and bottom. Any ideas?

Hi Ionmore,
This black line do you see this only on your desktop ??
Try to hit the F11 key on your keyboard.

Mysterious Black outline around selected items???

This morning, when I started my computer there is a Black outline appearing around the selected item or window throughout my system... For example; around the icon/folder/file selected in the finder, around the entire Safari browser window, around various items in Mail- the inbox portion, around where the flagged message icon would appear when a message is selected. etc. The same thing is happening in some other programs as well. Everything appears to be working just fine & I have tried restarting, repairing permissions, cleaning cashe, zap P-RAM, etc. Any idea what is causing this?? Is it a problem. or just something screwy that will hopefully go away? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jeremy

Found the answer.. Turned VoiceOver Off. Must have gotten accidentally turned on Last Friday after too many F5 refreshes during the woot!-Off!!!

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

No problem.
Options or Settings... is normally an icon that looks like a gear or a wrench, and will have "Settings" or "Options" underneath it. Normally.

Indesign document PDFs with Black outline around pages ... and ...

Hi guys
I have posted this problem in the acrobat section but have thought it could be an indesign issue also.
Basically I am PDFing an InDesign CC document with crop and bleed for a printer. For some reason, on some pages, it adds a black/grey outline to pages, and in some cases seems to crop the page so there is no bleed.
Any thoughts? Original post with image can be seen here: PDF has strange black outline at printers end?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Rob. This is not the case - I know this as other pages in the document have there bleed correct (5mm all around). I have resolved the black outline issue, but now have this bleed issue. On my screen the PDF looks fine but for some reason when the printer opens it, they do not get the bleed on the left edge!
Thanks

Mysterious black outline around imported jpg

We created a logo for a client. She is reporting that every time she uses it there is a black outline showing up around the edge of the .jpg.
We have checked all of our files thoroughly, and there is no outline on any of them.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Sara,
One other thing, not directly related to your concern, but a concern nonetheless...
Good logos are generally constructed as vectors, not pixels. "Illustrator" vector formats (e.g. .ai, .eps) will give you the best images. If you must use a pixel-based format, stick with .tif, .psd, .eps.
The .jpg format is lossy and can leave you with blotchy, unsharp logotypes or marks, particularly if they consist mainly of type, line and color and if the .jpg is highly compressed.
(For Web, the choices would be .gif for type, line and color; .jpg for photographic images.)

Black frame around image icon during Web Start start up

Hi,
Sometimes I can see black frame (16 pixels) around my own icon during resource files downloading. My icon resolution is 32*32 pixels.
It appears like Web Start assignes size of the icon to 64*64 pixels and all space around my 32*32 icon is filled by black colour.
Playing with the width and height parameters. As a result it did not help.
Please, aslo see link below:

Change that to something like..
ClassLoader cl =this.getClass().getClassLoader();
Image programmIcon = new ImageIcon(cl.getResource("/colorandsize.jpg")).getImage();
..There are changes to both lines.

My ipad displays a black box around icons and isn't scrolling properly. I have turned it off then back on, which is the extent of my limited knowledge.

I was trying to get it to airprint to my supposedly supported HP eprint printer, but was having no luck. After trying to follow the online instructions on the HP website, it told me to turn it off wait 30 secs then turn it back on(along with the other devices but thats not my issue now) When I turned it back on it has a black box around all icons, I have to "double click" to get anything to open, and is not scrolling properly. I have turned it off and back on again, no change.

i am expereincing this problem....what was the solution??

HT204390 Black squares around icons on ipod

I was playing around with my ipod and found myself in the general section. I clicked a few buttons and now my ipod is talking to me and there is a black square around every icon I click making it so i have to double click every app i want to go in. I have tried to undo what i had done by going back into general and clicking on settings but i cant scroll down to accessibilitys to turn this off. All helps appreciated

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

Weird Black Outlines?

Hello,
While working on my G5 with the lastest version of Tiger, I started getting black outlines around Hard drive icons, scroll arrows, the scroll bar, a whole range of odd places. I also am now getting two "Force Quite....," "Retart," Shut Down," and "log out" choices in the apple pull down menu. The first or top one is proceeded by 3 dots in each case.
Why am I getting these things? I made a change in Ownership and Permission to a document before this happen. Is this related?
Thanks, Drew Harty

Hi,
Thanks, that fixed the problem. In the past though when I've hit the F5 key by mistake (same as part of a command I use in Photoshop all day long), the computer actually starts speaking. Didn't do it this time?

PDF has strange black outline at printers end?

Hi all
I am trying to send a PDF of a book to a printing company in Japan (clients choice!), and I am doing everything I would usually do, supplying with crop marks and bleed.
When they open the PDF it seems to have cropped many of the pages and put a black outline around it.
I insert a screen shot (note this is page 7. Page 6 is NOT white, therefore it has removed the crop on the left side!)
Any advice gratefully received. At my end, some of the pages do seem to have a black outline for some reason on my PDF but they fall outside of the crop marks.
Thanks!
