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.

How come the color of items in some MC can be edited whilst the colors of other MC can't

How come the color of items in some MC can be edited whilst
the colors of other MC can't. All layers are unlocked.

Need more info - could be anything - maybe the object is a
Drawing Object - or Grouped - or an
instance of a symbol - or...?

Cpu socket looks strange-can be cause of boot problem?

Actual question: can cpu socket like on attached picture cause boot problems?
tinypic.com/r/1pxnxs/6
(Some pins look strange while I am sure I did not do anything which can cause that)
(Sorry was not able attach pic, so shared on external site - blame android?)
I got problem with booting msi g33m motherboard, I tried various ways and was able to boot couple times, but after reboot the problem returns. When disassembly components for nth time, I noticed strange hole in cpu socket, so I wonder if it can be reason for boot problems? Currently fans run in ÷half speed when nothing connected to mb, if I connect gpu or sata drive, fans are pulsing, and led near power button on tower is blinking, but nothing more happens.

The pin(s) are bent it seems and can be carefully bent back to proper alignment most of the time using tweezers and or tiny jewelers/eyeglass screwdriver.
Yes the problem you describe can definitely be caused by poor pin contact with the pads on the CPU. Depending on what pins are bent or make poor contact there could be many different kinds of problems. In fact many more on newer ones with memory controller and other controllers in the CPU that used to be in the northbridge chip. If you or a friend, family member can't bend pin(s) back into alignment then possibly you could have a local jeweler or watch repair shop do it for you.

I've attached a picture taken in Ireland, can you take a look. Can only attach one picture??

thank you to all who helped me with my lens issues. I have gotten the Peterson book, and reading it intently. I'm attaching a picture taken in Ireland last year. Can you all take a look?. Used my 5DM3 with the EF 24-105mm 1.5.

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,
Nitz

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...

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.

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box.

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box. Basically, it losing at least part of the transparency in the file, but only when it goes to print. This happens whether I print it from illustrator, Indesign, or a pdf. If I open and print it from Photoshop it's fine. Is there some sort of setting that needs to be changed?
I'm posting a photo of the result.

Can you post the png so we can take a look at it?

Lack of color calibration box in toolbox

I have a photosmart d7360. It has been printing excessive greens in the grey area and the print quality pattern printout shows Lt Magenta as a magenta color and Magenta as a pale violet. The suggested solution from HP is as follows
Click Start , point to Programs or All Programs , then HP , and click HP Solution Center . The HP Solution Center screen opens.
Select the appropriate printer by clicking the corresponding tab at the top of the screen.
Click Settings , point to Print Settings , and click Printer Toolbox . The Printer Toolbox opens.
In the Printer Toolbox screen, click Calibrate Color .
However there is no "calibrate color" box in the printer toolbox. I have downloaded the latest drivers and I run windows XP home.
Any suggestions?

Have an eye on this eBook for a crash course on color management:

I use a Spyder4Pro myself and can recommend. It's very easy to calibrate multiple screens with this tool.

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

Can a Color Box display the transparent color [16777216]?

I was trying to force a Color Box to display the transparent color [16777216 = "2 to the 24th"], but I didn't have much luck.
Instead of displaying transparent, the Color Box wanted to paint a replica of the coloring tool's "transparent" icon, which is a small "T" on a white background.
Is it possible to make a Color Box display the transparent color?
[See attached VI.]

> Well just for the record it appears it is possible to make a color box transparent.
Okay, that's pretty cool. How'd you do it? Also, your transparent "color" reports as being 0 [zero], which should be black. [Frankly, this strikes me as something of a bug...] And your Color Box does report as Visible.
Or maybe it's only reporting the first 24 bits of your color as black, and omitting some values in the other eight bits [such as, maybe {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}???].
I added a couple of other values [2^32 - 1, and (2^32 - 1) - (2^24 - 1), which should have 0 in the low 24 bits, and all 1's in the high eight bits], but I couldn't get it to take a value of 2^32. [I don't know how to do long ints in LabVIEW - I seem to recall that you can't.]
Anyway, when I get some time [maybe tonight], I'll write a script to display all 256 possible values of the top eight bits.
But in the meantime, do tell how you got the Color Box to display transparent.
Thanks! Gotta run.

Using only 5 colors in image mosaic...can't index

I want to create a "pushpin portrait" but only using the 5 colors of black,white,red,yellow and blue AND instead of having the pixels square, I need them to be circles instead...like a mosaic.

Here's a test I did. First I created the rhinestone shape (rough shaped), with transparent background). I used a size of 30px and made a pattern of it.
Then I took this photo and reduced it to the number of pixels that I wanted for each of the dots. So in this case, I wanted 100 dots across the top, So I reduced the image to 100px wide.
Then I converted it to index color with the five colors your wanted: white, black, red, yellow, and blue.
After that, I converted back to RGB and upscaled it using nearest neighbor to keep the pixelated look. I upscaled it so each pixel was my pattern size of 30px, so 3000%.
Then I created a blank layer under this pixelated layer, and used the fill command using the pattern I created in the first image. I clipped the pixelated layer to the fill layer, so that the colors would just show where my pattern had pixel values (round dots). Then I set the pixelated layer's bend mode to overlay to get the look of a rounded dot.
It looks a bit flat, but you can play with different patterns to get different looks. I also put a solid black layer under everything to fill in the gaps between the dots.

How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp My printer will not print anything in color. How can Iget my printer to print in color? I can only print in black and white. It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

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 )

Can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now

Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
*'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
* see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
* this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
*use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
*see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.
