Submenus not transparent in IE

I need transparent submenus ... I'm using spry in CS3. It
works fine in FF, however in IE7 the background is white. It
appears the iframe hack built into the spryhorizontalmenu.css file
is causing a problem in IE7. Help.

Never mind. Adding the width specification to ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul did the trick. I don't know why it worked ok in every other browser, but not in IE, other than IE breaks things on a regular basis and sometimes I swear there is some evil person at M$ who delights in confounding web designers.

My menu bar is NOT transparent!?

So, what's the deal here. My menu bar is NOT transparent. The only thing I can think may be causing this is that I have a second monitor running on an ATI card through the PCI slot. Seems weird to me that the menu bar would go solid because of the presence of a second monitor but that's really the only thing that comes to mind. Anyone else seeing this? I know that a lot of you would like to dump the transparent menu bar so maybe I shouldn't complain. That said, I'd really like to know what's going on here.

I definitely don't hate it. I actually don't mind it at all. Don't love it... don't hate it... it is what it is I guess <g>. I never gave it much consideration until I saw all the hate threads
The background I was using before taking the screenshot was black at the top anyway, so maybe that made a difference in my not really paying it much mind.

Icon in taskbar not transparent

Just a very minor nitpicking issue:
The icon used for Raptor on the taskbar has a white background and is not transparent. This doesn't look very pretty. Probably one for the very last entry on your issue list.

and maybe the icon should be more expressive. Some black border around symbol etc. See my current icons in taskbar - it's hard to find the raptor's one:

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Hi Peter
Can you tell me how to control it though please? How do I amend it from transparent to white please?
Thanks

Photoshop to Illustrator: background not transparent

Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me why this happens and how to fix or get around or tell me the proper method? When transferring from Photoshop to Illustrator by copy/paste or directly dragging an image, object, etc., the background in not transparent. My workaround is to save as .psd and place in Illustrator, which is a pain. I thought there was "seamless" integration.
Thanks a bunch,

I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The control center is not transparent

The control center is not transparent in IOS7 on my iphone 4S.
But i think it is supposed to be, right?

I just asked the same question. It's not supported on iPhone 4. I'm annoyed by that cause that was one thing I was super excited about. I was sent this article too about what we lowlife 4 users miss out on.

"Transparent Video" is NOT transparent

I am using Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium. MY OS is Windows VISTA running on 64 bit with 8 GB of memory. I have a 300 GB HD with 106 GB free space. My projects and assetts go to an Enhance Tech RAID system with over 2 TBs free.
For some odd reason when I activate the "transparent video" and drag it to the timeline it is NOT transparent. I of course place it on the highest video track, because I'm using it for timecode when having videos evaluated. The only work-around is to change the Blend Mode from Normal to Screen, unfortunately when you go that route it has to be rendered, which takes forever.
For kicks I clicked on Bars & Tone from New Item and the color bars don't appear. The tone works fine, but the video is pure black just like the transparent video.
Any ideas on what my problem could be?

No, I haven't tried re-capturing video without the Marox, but here is a goofy question.
I've gone to a blank location on the Timeline and placed a Blue Color Matte on Video Track 1—which means it wasn't captured through Matrox, and I still get the black screen when I place the Transparent Video on Video Track 2 above it. I also tried putting a jpg picture on Video track 1 with the same "black" results.
Does that help you, or am I not understanding why I need to re-capture "video" without the Matrox? Is Matrox still involved, even if the assets are not brought in by Matrox?
Tim
Read Colin's post. I think he is right; its probably not necessary to recapture footage to test since you are testing non captured acessts. Just use a non matrox preset.

I have downloaded ios7.1 but the folders and the bar below have a grey color not transparent or even a blur color like all the iproducts (i have iPad 3) the problem was after the iOS7.1!! What shall i do?

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

Pidgin tray icon not transparent (2.6.6)

Hi, stock arch instalation, fully updated packages.
(standard repo's, no testing, no any additional repo's just default ones)
Pidgin icon not transparent in gnome panel.
Is this gnome-panel related, or Pidgin related?
Some other icons like Skype are transparent, but others are not
(VLC player tray icon is not transparent, for instance)

As said on the bugtracker:
For those who wish to get this working before pidgin 2.7, you can build the current 2.6 from ABS with patches and it seems to be working. See jarryson's later posts in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=731130 . Other apps are still in need of their own fixes. It occurs with many themes, but not with some..

Urxvt in the background is not transparent

Hello everyone,
I'm using Openbox and urxvt terminal and I was experimenting with running one urxvt pseudo-transparent in the background like in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ope … background. So I created new name "RootURxvt" in my .Xdefaults file:
RootURxvt.scrollBar: false
RootURxvt.transparent: true
RootURxvt.geometry: 80x24
the rest of my .Xdefaults reagarding urxvt:
URxvt.buffered: true
URxvt.geometry: 85x24
URxvt.transparent: false
URxvt.background: black
URxvt.foreground: gray90
URxvt.cursorColor: green
URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
URxvt.font: -*-fixed-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2
URxvt.boldFont: -*-fixed-bold-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed
Then I put the appropriate entry to the .config/openbox/rc.xml
<application name="RootURxvt">

Finally I added this to the .config/openbox/autostart.sh:
urxvt -name RootURxvt &
and hoped that on restart I will have nice pseudo-transparent urxvt on the background...It worked for a while but after another fiddling with rc.xml and .Xdefaults and restarting X it simply stopped working and the "RootURxvt" simply looks like normal urxvt without decor. I browsed the forums, tried "xrdb -merge" and restaring X and looked on the .Xdefaults and rc.xml files million times but I can't find what's wrong.
I could appreciate any help, I'm new to all this X resource stuff, maybe I just made some braindead mistake
Thanks in advance!

Well, I didn't consider it, because I thought that for my application (borderless urxvt terminal embedded in background below all other app windows) the pseudo-transparency aka. "Inherit Pixmap" function implemented in urxvt (I hope I got that right ) could be sufficient.
I also thought that creating a new name "RootURxvt" in the class "URxvt" in the .Xdefaults file would allow me to have two types of urxvt terms running (terminal in the root window and normal "opaque" windowed terminals).
the similar thing is in the post #12 of this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45382 but only with geometry settings.

Spry Menu Bar Submenus Not Showing

Hi!
This is the first time I have ever used Spry .My Horizontal Spry Menu Bar Submenus are not working in ANY browsers whatsoever and I'm not sure whats wrong. My website is www.poor2chic.com. I have pasted a copy of my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css as well as the .js code and the source code :

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.
