How can I remove transparent drop down menus?

I do a lot of screen shots for technical documents and the drop down menus are a problem because they are semi transparent on my new (bought used) macbook pro. Is there a way to make them more opaque on the MBP? I had another macbook pro (same model) that did not have this problem.  They are both 2008 model 5.1 17" inch.

I do a lot of screen shots too and while I don't know of a way to alter the menus themselves, I tend to shoot them over blank white documents. Or if the document window cannot be white for some reason, I move it down out of the way and shoot the menus with the Backdrop application in the background. The Backdrop application (free at the App Store) does nothing more than put up a black full screen window which I set to white and then stack behind the current application.

  • How can i connect 2 drop down menus? on numbers

    hi i need to connect 2 popup menu, for example my first popup menu would be fruit, meat then if i choose fruit next popup menu will populate banana and apple then if i choose meat next popup menu will populate beef and mutton.

    Hi Bathuu,
    I think that is called a hierarchical menu, but I don't think that Pop-Up Menus in Numbers support that.
    One way could be to have all you food items in one column. Type them, select them all, then Format Panel > Cell > Data Format > Pop-Up Menu:
    Start with Blank (it will show None) is handy if you want to cancel an entry. In the Format Panel you can drag menu items to reorder them, or double click to rename.
    Another way (if you want to distiguish different food groups) is to have another column with Pop-Ups for Fruit and Meat:
    Then you can sort the table by Food group or Food.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Can't Scroll Inside Drop Down Menus

    I just got a new HP laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit), installed Firefox 11 (now updated to 12), and discovered that when using the track pad (Synaptics Touch Pad v8.1. Driver provided by Synaptics, version 15.3.29.0 dated 10/13/2011), I can not scroll inside drop down menus.
    To replicate, go to this link: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/sss/
    Click the drop down for the category to search. Use the track pad to scroll the list. Mine closes the list and returns focus to the browser instead of scrolling the list. It then scrolls the browser window instead. This works fine in IE. Things I have tried:
    Safe mode
    Unchecking smooth scrolling
    Unchecking autoscrolling
    Unchecking hardware acceleration
    And just about any of the various combinations of the above things. I also tried restarting Firefox each time I made a change. Nothing seems to solve this issue.
    Oddly enough, if there is a text window inside the page (like the on I am writing this in), I can scroll that just fine. Once I move my mouse out of the box, it scrolls the main page just fine. I don't think it's a matter of the focus following the mouse, it has something to do with scrolling drop down boxes specifically it seems.
    Also, I should note that all the pages I have problems with work fine in IE the way they SHOULD work in Firefox.

    It's Synaptics Touch Pad v8.1. It is using a driver provided by Synaptics, version 15.3.29.0 dated 10/13/2011, and is supposedly the most current version. I have tried getting newer off the HP website, letting Windows search for the most current version, and looking at the Synaptics site, but I still end up with the same version.
    I have double checked the scrolling regions to make sure I am within them as well as all the other settings regarding the touch pad. In fact, I had to enable the scrolling regions because they were disabled by default and instead used two finger scrolling. For what it's worth, two finger scrolling gives me the same result - it does not scroll the drop down menu.
    As I said, it works just fine in IE and all other programs, so I'm not sure I understand how the drivers for the touchpad could be the issue. It seems to me it's more likely that Firefox is not interpreting the "signal" from the touchpad correctly, yet IE does. Then again, I've been wrong before...

  • How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

    I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

    Has anyone done this?

  • How can I get the drop down menu on the internet to work, which shows most visited websites? It was working on Firefox, and now doesn't.

    On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
    * Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
    Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How can I get bookmark drop down to extend folder list to the left instead of the right?

    Recently cleaned up my bookmarks. Previously when I clicked on the bookmark file bar icon (between history and tools buttons at the top of the screen) the bookmark drop down would appear with my folders and links (as expected) and when I moused over a folder it would open a drop down list on the left of the main bookmark drop down but now it is opening on the right. How can I get it back to opening on the right?
    This is not about having a bookmark pane always open on the left side of the window. Rather it is about how to control how the drop down menus act. (OSX 10.9.3 and Firefox 30.0)
    Thanks!

    So I think I understand what your suggesting but I have a folder inside a folder that has long names and it opens back to the left (after the initially opening to the right) and appears to overlay the screen space needed to display the titles.
    If your right (no pun intended) then the programming that supports the drop down menu display would need to scan through all the enclosed folders looking for the potentially longest title to determine which way to open the list?
    I know that this is a minor issue but it does seem that something may have changed here. It would be nice if there was away to control this part of the drop down operation. Thanks!

  • How do I get spry drop down menus to display infront of my content?

    Hi,
    I am currently using DW CS4 to create a website for a uni project. I have created a Spry Menu bar which displays correctly when I preview it however I have uploaded a few pages to my site to test them and the drop down menus disappear behind my content. Is there any way I can fix this?
    My web address is www.nataliemiddlemore.110mb.com if you want to have a look. There is currently only 3 pages uploaded.
    Also the drop down menus do accross the page horizontally rather than drop down underneath each other. Is there a way to fix this?
    I would be very grateful for any help and am only a beginner so keep it as simple as possible for me.
    Thankyou in advance.

    You have used Absolutely Positioned Divs for your primary content. AP Divs are (by definition) taken out of the normal flow of the page. When they are in the code after the menus, they might show in front of them. I did not experience that on my system, however.
    I don't see any overriding reason...beyond the thought that AP Divs are easy to make and place...for using AP Divs. Your page structure is very stable, and normal relatively-positioned Divs should work just fine.
    As to the drop down menus trailing horizontally across the page, control the width of this: ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to contain the left-floating list items. That style selector shows up in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css stylesheet. The submenus should then fall vertically.

  • How can I locate the drop down menu to select thumbnails for viewing my photos?

    I am using Microsoft Windows Vista. I select Files> Get photos and Videos> From Files and Folders.  I select my photos and In my views I have a choice of different size icons, list, details and tiles.  The icons are a flower image. When I select an image to view it only appears as an extra large icon on the middle right side of the moniter.  I would like to view the thumbnail of the photo bfore I bring to my organizer.  The drop down menu doesn't have a choice for thumbnail.  

    Perhaps I need to supply more details.  I am using PSE9.  I haven't any problem importing the images into the Organizer as I just select the Icons and select "Get Media" or "Open" and they transfer over to the Organizer.  I would like to see the image as a thumbnail not an icon when when making the selection.  If I right click them, the Icon, and select open they will open in "Windows Live Photo Gallery".
    The icons are now listed on the left  side of the monitor about the right middle it states "Select A File To Preview".  When I select a file (icon) a large file (icon) appears in that area and it should be a thumbnail of the image. Somehow I can't locate the drop down menu taht permits me to make that selection.  I think it has something to do with my files being able to open in Windows Live Photo Gallery when right clicking and select Open.  Is the drop down menu only available in Windows 7?

  • How can I get a drop down choice to auto populate another cell?

    Hey there.
    I have a drop down list of options and for my spreadsheet to do What i need ot to do, I need to assign each choice a different value.  How can I do this so that when I pick "choice 1" it will place a pre determined value in a different cell?

    You can add a table that provide a list of items (that are in the pop up menu) and a corresponding value (shown on the right):
    In the table on the left you can refer to the table "Price List" to locate the item in column A, then retrieve the corresponding value from column B.
    B2=VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
    select cell B2, copy
    now select column B, then unselect cell B1, by holding the command key and clicking cell B1
    paste
    change the pop-up menus in column A as needed.

  • How can I create a drop down menu from an array

    Hello all,
    I am attempting to create a subvi that allows the end user to add a part number to an .txt file, and assigns that part number a value than can be used to select one of two modes of communication to be used to write to a EEPROM.   I am using the "write key.vi" and the "read key.vi" to create and read the .txt file.  What I would like to do is is use "get section names.vi" to read all of the part numbers and dump them into a drop down menu after the end user generates the file using the subvi.
    I guess my question is how do I dump a 1D string array into a drop down menu.
    I have attached some semi-functional .vi's to give an idea of what i am attempting to do.

    Place a Ring control on your front panel, then create a property node on the block digram. You can wire the output array of "Get Section Names" to populate the Strings[ ] property of the Ring.
    Retrieve the specific string selected by the operator by wiring the Ring control to the Index Array function.
    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

  • Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

    Hi guys!
    I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
    Here's the HTML I have...
        <ul id="nav">
            <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 4</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
        </ul>
    ...and here's my CSS...
    ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
    ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
    ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
    * html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 6 */
    * + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 7 */
    #nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
    #nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
    #nav li {float:left;}
    #nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
    #nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
    #nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
    From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
    Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
    SM

    Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx.  Look at jQuery Superfish.
