How can I make a window transparent but keep its objects opaque in Cocoa-Applescript?

How can I do this in Cocoa-Applescript, Xcode? As well, is it possible to blur the area behind where the transparent window is?

You can set the window transparency with something like:
theWindow's setBackgroundColor:(current application's NSColor's clearColor)
theWindow's setOpaque:false
I haven't seen a way using public APIs to blur behind the window, but I'm not sure about using ASObjC with stuff like Core Image, anyway.
You might also try something like setting the background to a gray color and play with the grayscale and alpha values (colorWithCalibratedWhite:0.0 alpha:0.2, for example).

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.

    hi, try this:
    public static void centerWindow(Window win){
    Dimension screenSizeWithSpeedBar = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Dimension screenSize = new Dimension(screenSizeWithSpeedBar.width,screenSizeWithSpeedBar.height-25);
    Dimension frameSize = win.getSize();
    if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
    frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
    if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
    frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
    win.setSize(frameSize);

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • How can i print a translated document but keep EN text at it's cropmark info??

    how can i print a translated document but keep EN text at it's cropmark info??

    If you just want this for printing, one thing you can easily do is crop all of the pages to remove the margins. For example, you can rop 2" off the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Page Scaling of "Fit to Printable Area".
    To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Crop Pages
    be sure to select All for the Page Range.

  • Pop Up - how can I make the window in the backround visible?

    Hi,
    when I create a popup, the window in the background becomes unvisible as long as the popup is not closed. how can I make the background window become visible when the popup is open?  I can hardly believe, that such a basic feature is not supported. But on the other hand, I also have some problemes with the sizing of the pop up...
    Help is highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards

  • How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

    Hello,
    I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
    on (press)
        _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
              _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
    but from here I'm stuck.
    Thank you for your help

    What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property.  You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
    If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
    object._visible = false;  // start with the object being invisible
    yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
        object._visible = !object._visible;
    That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

  • How can we increase the window transparency in Yosemite?

    This has been discussed a little bit on Reddit as far as I've found so far.. http://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2jnxll/is_there_any_way_to_increase_translu cency_in/
    It'd be cool to have a system-wide/global control for window transparency, or even better would be per app, but that seems like it'd be a bit more complicated..
    Any thoughts/ideas as to how to make this happen would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

  • How can I make a page transparent in InDesign CS4?

    Hello and thank you all for your help in advance!
    I would like to make a page transparent in InDesign.
    When the magazine is printed it will be an overlay page with font printed on it where you can still see the image underneath. I was wondering if this is possible.
    I'm not quite sure if it has a technical name to it or not so I uploaded a picture of what I'm speaking about to Tinypic.
    http://i46.tinypic.com/29m1vk3.jpg
    (routes and lines on top on the semi-transparent page, map on next)
    Thanks for your help!
    Nora

    will these subjects actually be printed on separate pages or do you want to overlay some images on one page with type on the same page?
    If the former, add and use layers; if the latter design one page and save it as a pdf. Place that pdf on a lower level layer, lock the layer, and work on a higher layer.
