Persistent thick black selection outline on screen

I have a sort of permanent thick black outline around selected widgets on the current window. If the outline is for a text entry box then it sometimes stays in the one place on the screen as I scroll the page. It is quite annoying.
This only occurs for one user account on the machine the other is fine. I am not sure what caused it but I suspect it might have been a virtual desktop application called Desktop Manager. I have stopped using that app but the visual problem still occurs. I have no idea how to cure this problem without removing the user account and recreating it.
This seems to be some sort of configuration thing but I am new to Macs and have no idea how to find what is causing this.
MacBook with osx 10.4.10.

That was it! Thanks. I had a look at those settings but "voiceover" didn't suggest a thick black highlight to me.
Most appreciated.

Outlined type with a thick black stroke and transparent fill

I want to create outlined type with a transparent fill and a thick black stroke. This video describes what I want, but instead of a white fill I'd like a transparent fill (https://youtu.be/iqHjU2hiWAo). Thanks!

You could use the Pathfinder > Divide tool. Create a copy of the original outlined text. You set the stroke, say an 18pt ( really thick ), then outline the stroke. On the copy positioned over the original, select both and then Pathfinder Divide. Remove all strokes / fills inside the outlines to get the transparency you want.

Does this only happen on specific pages?

IPhoto adds ugly black border around imported screen grabs

When I grab a picture of an application screen (using cmd + shift + 4 and then hitting the space bar over the application), I get a screen grab that opens fine in Preview, but when I drag/import it to iPhoto, it adds an ugly thick black border around the whole picture. Why? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Missed the Command....... I have used that command and don't get the border except when viewing the file as an thumbnail in the Finder.
Do you have a MMe account? If so upload the screenshot file to the Pictures folder and use the following code to add it to a post:
Click to View Photo
You'll get this: Click to View Photo. It's a screenshot of the screenshot and it's presentation in Safari.
So, I can see immediately from the photo in the link above that you have not used the key combi I am talking about - was that intentional?
Anyway, here's the link, and you can quite clearly see the drop shadow.

Laughing sound, media keys funny, and black select boxes

I've only had my macbook for 2 weeks and its gone weird today. It starts with a black select box around icons, popup windows, and the task bar. Then i try to listen to the new mac holiday add when i hear weird laughing. Then the laughing starts when i click on something, anything. I try to turn down the volume with the media key (F12) then dashboard comes in. The contrast keys dont work, and F11 makes firefox browser move to the top right of the screen out of view.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

HT4061 Black line on iPad screen

Black line on iPad screen?

I have an Ipad 1 gen bought in 2010. Doing some research I think there is a connection between date bought and the screens. Thick striped, black white or colored but Apple are refusing to acknowledge. If I can get enough people I will take this further if I can! Please join me on Facebook @Apple Ipad screen issues Thanks!

My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need to. It appears as if I selected the entire layer on purpose (which I did not)
The below items appeared when I opened Photoshop CS 5:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled G & U enhancements. Check the video card malfunctions website for latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.”
(I believe this started after the automatically updated Windows was applied. It was coincident with the before mentioned problem . . . but I don’t really know if it had anything to do with it. )

For the Clone Stamp problem, check the Clone Source panel and Clipped is probably unchecked.
If so, check Clipped and see if that makes a difference.
(Window>Clone Source)
As to the video card problem:
Which version of windows are you using?
What is the make and model of your graphics card?
Do you know which update windows installed?

If I do not select F11 ( full screen ) a big part of the screen "falls" of the right hand side of my monitor and is not readable, I am not able to find the neccesary adjustments.

An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap. If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there. Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out. But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
Good luck!

I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

SELECT-OPTIONS in Screen

Hi,
I am trying to create select - options in Screen , i.e. not the selection screen but a custom screen, say 9000. I can make the text boxes etc for having the select options. But How do I simulate the button wchich comes after select options. It would be used in dialogue programming with multiple screens having different reports.
Please reply to me urgently,
Thanks and Regards
Arnab Panigrahi

A few dot points:
1. You can have a select-option embedded in a dynpro, if you want, by using a subscreen. There's an example bit of code at
Module - pool Question..?
This would be easy to adapt to being a popup rather than a full screen if required.
2. As noted above, you can code your own select-options as in
Making a referenced field a range?
which I think Sesh has quoted from.
3. For the requirement you expressed initially, the code below should do the trick... you get a different block of extra selections depending on which radionbutton you select.

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

Hi austinbread,
It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

Module pool programming " to add selection-option on screen"

I want to add selection option for a field ( matnr ) on the screen in module pool programmiing. ( how it comes in report programming). If you you know how to add Please help me to solve.....

Sure, you need to define your selection screen as a subscreen, then embed this into your subscreen area on the dynpro. Here is a sample program.
report zrich_0006 .
tables: mara.
* Custom Selection Screen 1010
selection-screen begin of screen 1010 as subscreen.

            p_rad2 radiobutton group grp1,
            p_rad3 radiobutton group grp1.

                s_matkl for mara-matkl,
                s_mtart for mara-mtart.
