Gif icons no longer transparent?

I have dozens of icons on my desktop, the images are white-ish shapes with transparent backgrounds. After upgrading to Leopard, all of the transparent parts of the icons have turned white. So now I have just a bunch of white squares. Not very useful in my case.
If I go to view options and turn off icon preview, they just say "GIF" in them. How do I get back to the original way of viewing them? Thanks. -Derryl

Sorry, but that makes no sense to me. Can you please clarify what you mean? How will a text program remove the white border that 10.5 is putting around transparent images? Thanks.

  • Transparent part of a GIF icon

    I cannot get my GIF icon to be transparent. I have edited my GIF so that parts of it are transparent but when I put it on my button the underlying color does not show through.
    I haven't set any flags. Is there something I should do to make the GIF transparent?

    I'm having the same problem with an application being migrated from Java 1.3 to Java 1.4. Under 1.3 the transparency is correct, under 1.4 it is lost on JButtons and JLabels. The transparency is set correctly (I verified it with PSP7), and it doesn't seem to make any difference whether I use GIFs or PNGs, transparency still doesn't work. Oddly there are some places where it does work (I used one image as a test because it was working in one place but not in another) and even that didn't work in the place where other images weren't working.
    I'm running 1.4.2_01 on Win2K, but it also affects 1.4.1_03.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I must admit that I've never had this problem before so I'm really perplexed as to why it's suddenly happening here. I think maybe there's something odd about the code, but since it isn't mine and since there is rather a lot it's rather difficult to tell.
    Thanks,

  • Animated gif icon for an exception instead of the standard icon?

    Hello,
    is there a possibillity to use an animated gif icon for an exception instead of the red standard icon in a web template?
    I tried  to change the standard icon s_s_ledr.gif against an animated gif icon in the mime repository, but it does not work. In the IE the icon is still shown without animation.
    Maybe I´ve changed the wrong icon?
    Can you please help me?
    Greetings

    Hi Andreas,
    it is possible to integrate own symbols for exceptions. If you can use animated gif I don't know. However there is a post over here explaining the usage of the modification for symbols:

  • Time Capsule Icon No Longer Appears on Desktop

    Two weeks ago I had AT&T U-verse cable, internet, & phone installed. As part of that installation they installed an AT&T router/wireless combination. The ethernet cable that was previously connected to Time Capsule is now connected to the AT&T device. There is no longer any ethernet connection to Time Capsule. The Time Capsule icon still appeared on my desktop and I manually performed back-ups from my Windows applications to Time Capsule. Time Capsule went from displaying a constant green light to displaying a flashing yellow light. That worked for several days. After about a week of that there appeared on my screen a 'wizard' of some sort recognizing the status of Time Capsule. It said this 'wizard' would eliminate the flashing yellow light. I followed the steps through the 'wizard' and at one point the flashing yellow light turned to constant green. There were a few more steps in the 'wizard' and when it was finished the flashing yellow light reappeared. The next time I tried saving files from Windows I could not connect to my w: drive, and the Time Capsule icon no longer appeared on my Mac desktop. I went into Airport Utilities and there is a box checked that should display the icon properly. Any ideas what's happening? How do I restore Time Capsule so I can back-up my files. Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I don't have 10.6.1 yet, but have noticed this happens very occasionally on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iMac. Simply resetting Time Machine on my laptop has done the trick.
    Open System Preferences
    Click on Time Machine
    Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups
    If that does not do it then delete the "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" file. It's located as follows:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
    Restart your computer
    Then perform the same steps as above to setup Time Machine again.
    The resets will not affect any of your backups.

  • Airplay is not working with my phone and apple tv. airplay icon no longer comes up on phone

    airplay is not working on my phone. icon no longer shows up. cant play music or videos on tv from phone anymore

    As the original poster, I too had issues with my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and Apple TV 2 playing nice. The Airplay icon was visible for music, and worked perfectly. However, when watching a video, purchased through iTunes, only the "audio" option would be selectable for Airplay. After updating the Apple TV software, everything works perfectly well. When watching a video on my iPhone and selecting the Airplay icon, one of the options is to play "video" through the Apple TV, not simply audio.
    It would have been nice to know that my Apple TV needed an update when I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.2.1.

  • PNG is no longer transparent!

    I have been using Photoshop since PS7. I love it. I am also a professional graphic and web designer/developer. This problem has never occured to me in the 8 years I've been using the program. So, needless to say I'm stumped!
    When slicing up my design for use on the web, I format certain slices to be saved as PNGs (if an alpha channel/transparency is needed). However, it's not retaining the transparency of the layer. It renders the slice just like a flattened JPEG. I've tried both saving the cropped image as a PNG and using the Save For Web feature to render a slice - with the same damn result. I've tried both the 8 bit and the 24 bit. Nothing works! Not even a GIF is rendered with transparency. Before someone thinks me ignorant enough to explain how transparencies work and the process of isolating the layer from the background before saving it with a transparency - don't! Like I said, I use this program a ton. I know what I'm doing. Is there some "restore file rendering to default" feature or something? Uhhhh. So frustrating!
    PS: I use Photoshop CS6 (I don't have Fireworks otherwise I'd probably just import my PSD in there and slice it).
    Help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me.
    I figured out the problem...(kinda)
    It was a glitch with the 2-up preview pane in the Save For Web feature. It was displaying the slice as a JPEG regardless of the different file-type presets I selected. I had to have this working right away, as I was working on a project for a client, so in desperation I simply reinstalled my Photoshop CS6.dmg.
    Everything seems fine now.
    Thanks again.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • Trusteer Rapport icon no longer appears in address bar since upgrading to Firefox 9.

    I used to have Firefox 7 and the Trusteer Rapport icon used to appear in the address bar.
    Now I have upgraded to Firefox 9 the icon no longer appears, which is annoying.

    Are you running the latest version of Trusteer Rapport? If not, update. Old Trusteer Rapport versions are known to be buggy with previous versions of Firefox. If that doesn't fix your issue, try Trusteer Rapport support too.

  • Floated .png no longer transparent background

    This is really bizarre. I have a .png image file that happens to have a transparent background. It looks fine when I import it into Dreamweaver. But as soon as I apply my float right class to it, the background is no longer transparent . The background turns to a light gray color. Anyone know what might be causing this?

    Odd... Do you have any other rules for floats in your CSS?
    Without seeing the code I can only guess.
    And... by "importing" do you mean that you saved the PNG and copied it to your images folder? Or did you use photo edtiting software to import it with HTML?

  • ZCM 10.3.4 Icons no longer display on Start Menu

    Hi,
    I am currently developing a ZCM Win7 COE and am creating new Win7 GPOs using the Microsoft Group Policy tools. ZCM bundle icons were displaying on the Star Menu as expected until I enabled the GPO setting to "Hide and disable all items on the desktop". Now the bundle icons no longer show. The agent appears to be running ok and I can see the bundles are still "available" from the agent proper sheets.
    Has anyone come accross this problem before and if so how was this resolved.
    Thanks in advance,

  • 9iDS forms 9i gif icons won't display

    I have been on metalink and have yet to get a ggod answer on how to make my gif icons appear on my forms in 9iDS Forms 9i. I am on adevelopment machine and have modified my %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml by addidng the folling lines:
    <virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons"
    real-path="d:\webicons" />
    Then I modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\java\forms\registry\registry.dat file to read:
    default.icons.iconpath=/webicons/
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    and I've tried
    default.icons.iconpath=/webicons
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    and I've tried
    default.icons.iconpath=webicons/
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    My %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg reads:
    imageBase=DocumentBase
    I was told to remove imageBase=DocumentBase from %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\basejini.htm but I only found:
    <PARAM NAME="imageBase" VALUE="%imageBase%">
    imageBase="%imageBase%"
    in that file. But, even commenting on or the other or both did not yield positive results.
    After each modification to the above files I made sure that I closed the browser and stopped and re-started the OC4J Instance before opening the browser.
    Once again, I am doing this on a development computer with all files on that computer and I am NOT deploying any of this to 9iAS.
    What is wrong?
    TIA,
    Ed.

    Ed,
    You're right, there's no reason that you must use the jar file method. For testing, it makes sense to use your images "as is".
    I think I see the problem with your config. You should always do this test to to verify that you can see your icons before running your Form: look at your icon in a browser.
    You said that you modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml and created the following virtual path:
      <virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons" real-path="d:\webicons" />Restart your OC4J listener, and see if you can see the icon in your browser:
      http://host:port/[color=red]forms90[color]/webicons/someicon.gif
    I bet you can. That's because you edited the orion-web.xml for Forms, which affects everything under the /forms90/ path. That is, host:port/forms90/ is the document root to that orion-web.xml. This is perfectly ok, but in your registry.dat, you need to put in the full thing:
      default.icons.iconpath=/[color=red]forms90[/color]/webiconsIf you want to do it the "normal" way, modify the following:
    %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp\orion-web.xml
    This is the xml file for the base web listener. Now you can see the icon in your browser:
      http://host:port/webicons/someicon.gif
    which will let you use the following in your Registry.dat file:
      default.icons.iconpath=/webiconsSee, I told you that you were close!

  • Why Does Reading A Gif Or Png Containing Transparent/Alpha Pixels Fail?

    I'm trying to read in gif or png with transparent pixels into a BufferedImage so that I can create a font inside of Java. Right now, I'm defaulting to the assumption that the background of the font image is white. However, I want to make it so that the font background is whatever pixels happen to be transparent. The images I'm reading in have only two colors: black and white. I set all the white pixels to transparent when creating the images in hopes that I could do a check for all pixels with Alpha < 255. I have tried numerous possible solutions, such as saving the png files with different applications, ImageIO.read, and Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage, and JAI.The types of the resulting BufferedImages have varied between TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED, and TYPE_CUSTOM. What I want is TYPE_INT_ARGB so I can get the dang alpha pixels.
    1. Is there a way to read in alpha pixels of png or gif (doesn't have to be both) from within the main Java libraries as a BufferedImage with type TYPE_INT_ARGB? If so, how?
    2. Failing that, is there a way to read in alpha pixels of png or gif (doesn't have to be both) by using a decent external library as a BufferedImage with type TYPE_INT_ARGB? If so, how and with which one?
    This has been frustrating the heck out of me, since I thought this was something very simple to do, but I've spent two days poring over the entire Internet for a possible solution.
