Color box garbled

Using Cap5 and have started getting a weird problem in the "color box".
When I set stroke or fill colour the color box displays normally, but if I try to edit stroke or fill in a highlight, the color box looks like its been "shaken and stirred". Have added an image of the 2 to help you guys see what I mean. If anybody has any ideas on the cause, then please help. It is not a show stopper,
but is highly irritating

Hello,
Did you do a lot of customizing of the Captivate settings/preferences? If not I would suggest you to delete the Preferences folder. If you are on Win7 this folder is in your profile, path is probably this:
C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5
It is this Captivate 5 folder that you can delete while CP is closed. When you restart the program a fresh one will be created, and eventual corrupt files will be removed. I'm suspecting that this could repair your garbled swatches panel.
This is a system folder, which means that it is hidden by godfather MS by default. You have to make it visible from the Tools of Explorer.

How can I make a color box indicator transparent?

All, I would like to make a color box, which is part of a cluster in an array, transparent programmatically. Instead of appearing transparent, it shows up with a LARGE "T" inside the color box, with a white background. Because it is part of a cluster within an array, it will not work to use a property node... and because I would like to programmatically change the color, having it permanenty transparent (as proposed on another discussion topic) will also not work. Can someone please help me turn a color box transparent programmatically?
Thanks.
Anthony

The problem is that arrays of clusters cannot be passed into property nodes as falkpl has previously said. The attached jpeg shows how you would programmatically break the arrays into cluster, into elements, and then manipulate that color box to a transparent one. The T within the white color box indicates transparent though. If you were to attached that to a color attribute then you would see that object disappear (well I guess not since it's transparent )

Lightroom 5 What is the Color box for in the adjustment brush and filters

Hi
I am running Lightroom 5.6 although I think this has been around probably from 4.In the Basic Development module when I select the Adjustment brush, Radial filter or Graduated filter then below Defringe I get a box marked Color. What does this box do.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is what I expected but it does not do it very well. For example If I have a light blue background and select 100% Blue in the Color box I would expect it to increase the blue but it does not really do this.

Color box in a 2D Array

Hi,
I am a beginner in Labview , i want to color a box in a 2D Array of color boxes. So if the user clicks on a box inside the 2D array, the box will turn into a specific color. I think i need to get the column and row of the element that has been clicked.
Then i want to check if the box already has been turned into another color , if not i want to turn it into a specific color ( e.g. connect 4).If it already has been turned into a specific color it wont change.
[img]http://i42.tinypic.com/dm9v9h.jpg[/img]
thats the color box.
So can someone please help me with this problem.
Thx

Here is a quick example (not at all bullet-proof, just trying to give you an idea).
All of the squares start white.
If a white square is clicked, it will turn red.
If it is already red, it will stay red.
Hope that helps getting you started.
Edit: I forgot one quick thing. Wire a constant of 100 to the event timeout (the hourglass in the upper left corner).

you cannot create folders for photos on the iPod Touch. you must currently do it on a computer by syncing the iPod with a photo program, and creating folders within that program and syncing them over. kinda stupid, but hopefully they'll fix it in an update soon.

Randomized Colors are Too Dark. Questions on Color Boxes

Hey all,
I am attempting to change the color of the plots on a mixed signal
graph remotely using the "color box" control which works fine; however, I
am also setting the color boxes to a random color when the program
first starts up which is where my problem lies.
What I currently am doing is that I have a random number generator
pumping out a number after which I multiply the number by 10000000, just
to give me some colors brighter than black, and then I have that wired up to
the color box control I am setting the random color on. The problem with
this is that although it does produce some decent colors some of the
colors produced are quite dark and pretty hard to see on the mixed
signal graph.
I could make the graph background a different color if I have to in
order to see a majority of the colors that come out, but I would much
rather just have the colors come out more on the bright and colorful
side.
So I have two questions for you guys and gals:
1) How do the colors of the colorbox get determined using the unsigned 32 int?
One such example of why I am confused is that the number that I have
going in is 5726420 from the random number generator (+ being
multiplied), but on the colorbox control the RGB value is R:87 G:96
B:212. Why is that?
2) Is there any kind of algorithm out there that someone has done
that can produce values randomly that will give kind of neony colors? or
anything semi-bright for that matter?
Any help is very much appreciated!

Use "RGB to color" from three random U8 (o..255) values to generate a color. (double click it to open the VI to understand the structure of the color data type )

Gradient Stop Color Box DIsabled

I can't seem to get a color gradient in ID CS4, just grayscale. I go to the "New Gradient Swatch" screen, name it, select "Linear," but the "Stop Color" box is disabled. Probably something very basic I'm not doing here. I can get color on my document as basic fills, but only B&W gradients. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Yes this is an undocumented "feature".
By clicking around I discovered you can get the color swatch selections to appear in the New Gradient Swatch dialogue by clicking the right (black) end of the grascale ramp at the bottom of box.

How do I create multi colored boxes using CSS3

OS - Windows 7 using DW Cs5.5
I need to create a screen with lots of equally sized colored boxes with text colours that will be visible easily within them.
I have a class set up as follows:
.yellowbox {
    font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
    font-size: small;
    color: #F00;
     background-color: #FC3;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    margin: 4px;
    padding: 4px;
    clear: none;
    float: left;
    height: 10em;
    width: 30%;
    position: relative;
    border: thick solid #F00;
This displays a box that is yellow with a red border.
With a set of 9 divs of this class, I get 9 boxes arranged as a 3x3 grid in a 960px wide container.
How do I modify the CSS so that the background color changes with each box, and the text color is always in a color that is readable?

First change the CSS as follows
.box {
    font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
    font-size: small;
    color: #F00;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    margin: 4px;
    padding: 4px;
    clear: none;
    float: left;
    height: 10em;
    width: 30%;
    position: relative;
    border: thick solid #F00;
.yellow {
   background-color: #FC3;
.blue {
   background-color: blue;
Then use the following markup
<div class="box yellow">
or
<div class="box blue">

Color box in toolbox looks strange + can only color in 1 color

I am having 2 issues and assume they are related.
1) Everytime I draw with the pencil tool, it fills in with pink and a black stroke (yes, the fill stroke box is unchecked). This happens no matter what colors are chose as fill/stroke.Afterwards I can change the colors but I would like to be able to draw plain strokes without it filling in pink every time...
2) As you can see in attached image, the color box looks different than usual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have fill and a stroke applied to the layer so now every time you draw on that layer.
In the appearance panel double click the layer item and then you will see the stroke and pink fill make the fill none and the stroke none as well or delete the stroke and the fill and apply the stroke to the path.

SMARTFORM - Coloring boxes

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to display the boxes in a different color on a smartform. The outline of the box has to a different color.
Is there any way we can do this? If so please give me the steps to do so.
I know that the color of the text can be changed by creating a new style using the t.code SMARTSTYLES.
Also please let me know if we can have different background colors for different boxes.
Thanks a lot for your time.

How to make a round color box?

Can anyone walk me through the steps in making a round color box?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you need a color box because you want the user to pick a color or you want the vi to spit out a color? Or do you want the color box for some other reason?
If you want to make it open a color picker pallette, I don't know of a way. However you could always make a round decoration, make sure it is on the top layer and the refnum for it should be This VI.Panel.Decos[0], and then you can programmatically change it's color via a property node. See attached.

Can anyone plz tell how to bundle a color box?

Hi all,
I am trying to pass the color of a color box control from one vi to another vi by bundling it into a cluster and passing the values. There are some other values also which are bundled along with the color. In the second vi when i tried to unbundle the cluster passed from the first vi and then wired the color passed, to a color box, it is getting connected and showing the correct color . But when i am trying to connect the whole bundle to a cluster, it is not gettting connected because of the color box in the cluster.
Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem. I have herewith attached my 2 vi's which i am working with.
Thankful regards,

Hi Nitzy,
gaa, I'm color blind now
Well, in your vi2.vi you call a subVI (inputmodule2), which you didn't attach... There's no direct connection between vi1 and vi2...
-You also have a big race condition in your vi1 because of all those colorbox locals - when more than one condition is true you can't predict which color is used...
- Why don't you use UnbundleByName?
- VI2 shows no wiring error...
- Why don't you use a cluster in VI for all your inputs? You can hide the border and place the cluster elements in the same way. No need for several locals for initialisation and no need for a bundle node...
Best regards,

Meaning of grey triangle upright in color box

To identify a color problem i am experiencing,
i am fooling around with background colors.
When i look at the background color box under appearance of a slide i notice
that for some slides their is a little grey triangle in the upper right corner of the color box. Other slides show no triangle.
What is the meaning of that ?
Thanks Jitse

The best I can figure is that the triangle shows you sampled the color using the mag glass on the colors palette. As soon as you modify the color using the sliders the triangle goes away.
