Text box transparency in Network Connect

Really odd little annoyance:
when I use Network Connect (V 7.0.0 by Juniper Networks) to access my main campus network, I noticed recently that the text boxes that I enter my username and password into are transparent: that is, within that part of the network connect window, I am seeing whatever is in on the screen behind it. It's very odd, and sometimes quite annoying, depending on what is on the screen behind it.
I don't even know what to call this behavior, or who to give feedback to--apple? Juniper Networks? Juniper Networks has a pretty impenetrable web site. Am I the only one seeing this?

You are not the only person seeing this. What's more annoying is that when you select the text box (i.e., click on any of the transparent area), it'll select through to the window behind it, bring that window to the foreground, and pushing the Network Connect window to the background.
Juniper isn't a UI company, so I don't really fault them for not knowing how to design a better UI. What I don't understand is why they through it necessary to take extra steps to make the textbox transparent. After all, this isn't the default behavior of textboxes. It's like they took extra steps to make their software unusable.

Font change when I make a text box transparent

Hi All
I have been using Captivate 4 for over a year and have just come across a strange event.
When I change a text box caption type from a coloured background, such as adobe blue, adobe pop up etc, to transparent, the font type and style change from what I originally had and I am unable to change it back.
For example I am using Verdana 12 black in adobe blue caption. When I change this to transparent the font style changes to something else, even though the application still says the font is Verdana 12 black. It is very obvious it is a different font to Verdana as the other text on the slide that has not been changed to transparent looks very different to the transparent text box font.
This font looks nothing like Verdana as it is smaller and thicker; it resembles Arial Black though it is not quite that either.
This change occurs when I am using a text box on its own or a text box associated with a roll over slidelet.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening, and should I post this in bug fixes?
cheers

Hi there
In addition to Lilybiri's advice, you can also typically achieve the desired effect by editing the Text Caption and positioning the cursor at the end of all text. Just press Ctrl+End to do this. Then press Enter a couple of times to introduce a couple of blank lines. Then format the last line as bulleted. After that, adjust the size of the caption so you don't see the bulleted blank line.
Cheers... Rick

How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

Hello,
After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
Do you understand what I mean?

CP5: connecting permanently text boxes by lines

When I create several text boxes and want to connect them like a diagram with lines (see below): how should I draw the lines so that they would not loose the entry points of both related tex boxes when a text box is moved on the slide?
With my first approach I could draw the boxes and lines, but they are completely independent from another. Any change would require a lot of additional work to keep the lines intact.

Hello again,
I did not understand your first question well, did not know that you want to animate this, make it grow as you said. You really want an animation, but with ability to edit quite a lot. Do not see an easy solution immediately, sorry. Personally I would rather start doing this from the end slide, and work in Photoshop (using layers and the roundtripping) or creating the animations in Flash. Do you want to add effects too?
Captivate was not really designed for creating graphical assets like you want now, although it has a lot improved since earlier versions. Please, feel free to introduce a feature request for this kind of drawing objects (dynamic connecting lines).

1 of 4 computers on my home network connects to hu...

I have recently installed the BT home hub 2.0. I have 4 computers on my network. 3 of these run on windows XP, and 1 on windows Vista. The 3 XP computers all connect perfectly to the home hub, and can all access the internet. The Vista computer connects to the hub, and sees the other computers on the network. The other computers also see the viista computer, so I'm sure that the connection to the hub is OK, and file sharing and printer sharing works fine. The problem is that the Vista computer cannot get a connection to the internet.
When I run the network diagnose and repair function on te Vista computer, it tells me that the computer is connected to the internet, and there is no problem with the connection.
When I look in the home hub manager, it shows that the broadband connection from the router is fine. It also shows that the vista computer is connected.
However, whatever brouser I try to use I keep getting the message that it cannot display the web page. And when I do the diagnosis, it says there is no internet connection. I have also tried running updates on anti-virus software, and I get a message saying no update possible because there is no internet connection.
Has anybody experienced the same problem? I don't know whether it's a problem with Vista or with the BT hub, or some sort of compatibility problem between the 2. I have checked all the settings I can think of, and have run out of ideas.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sometimes Vista/Windows 7 can have problems with IPv6 connectivity
In Vista go to Control Panel->Network and Sharing and Click on Wireless networks....
A dialogue box called wireless network connection" will appear like this:-
AS you can see from mine, I have no internet acces on Ipv6....
If you are on Ipv6 instead of Ipv4 click "wireless prperties" and in the next dialogue box, uncheck the Ipv6 box but leave Ipv4 checked...I can't remember but you may have to restart the Vista machine..

Bullets and Transparent text boxes

hello,
I've checked out the postings already for this issue and
appreciate Ricks tip on fixing the font blur issue. However, I have
another bug with bullets in transparent text boxes.
Upon preview or publish of a project, I see a ghost color (a
little lighter) of my background color which is light blue . So,
basically the text box is no longer transparent and looks really
bad.
Any ideas,
Lisa

Hi Rick,
Let me describe what is happening a little more clearly. Here
is the basics so maybe you can reproduce it. I belive I did come up
with a fix for myself.
1) Add a background image to the slide that is merged not an
overlay image
- My image is a png file imported into the library and added
to every slide. It has a solid light blue background with a dark
blue strip on top and a brand from the client at the top left (very
basic)
2) Add a transparent text box caption
3) Add text that includes bullet points
Result: When you put a text caption with bullets over a slide
background that is an image(even solid color) you get a ghost that
oulines the text caption dimensions. If the text caption doesn't
have bullets, the ghost outline doesn't appear, but the text is
blurry. Obviously the text can be fixed by highlighting on
character in #C0C0C0.
My temporary fix: Because the ghost ouline seems to appear
when a text caption with bullets is on top of a background image, I
modifed my background image so that the light blue part (this is
the area when all the content will be) is actually transparent and
no longer a color. I then set color for all slides backgrounds to
be the light blue that was origninally in my image. This seems to
work, but there are some color fading issues that I need to explore
and work out more.
Thanks much and look forward to pushing the boundaries of
Captivate once I my head around it more.
P.S If I have a background image on each screen (branding and
consistent purposes), when I set up a simulation, do I have to
merge each screen shot into the background or can the screen shots
created by Captivate just overlay my background image.

Losing network connection (phone, text, data)

For the past couple of weeks I have had problems losing my network connection affecting phone calls, text messages and data access. The problems seem to be occurring more frequently, and have not been able to identify a consistent pattern yet.
Phone: On 2-3 occasions recently, I have had calls dropped. I see that I have no [phone] network connection. In each case I've been in a location where I frequently make calls. Twice this was while on a major freeway in the SF Bay Area. In each case I do get a signal back, but it takes several minutes until I re-acquire a signal.
Text: On multiple occasions (3-4 in the past week), I have tried to send text messages from my office (in San Jose), where I have not had problems in the past. After waiting for several minutes to re-acquire a signal, I re-booted my phone and my text messages were sent as soon as the phone re-booted. Note: changing the phone to airplane mode and then off, did not resolve the problem.
Data: On multiple occasions (8-10 times in the past couple of weeks), I noticed that my phone shows "4G", but no arrows and I have no data access (i.e. no access via web browser, can't use any email apps, can't use any apps that use data access). Once I lose the data connection, it never re-acquires the network even after moving and/or waiting in excess of an hour. The only way to re-acquire data is to re-boot my phone.
This seem to have started 2-3 weeks ago, but definitely getting worse over the past week - very, very frustrating!
Using Samsung S4, running Android 4.4.2. I don't recall installing any new apps or new O/S versions in the past couple of weeks, though many updates auto-installed.

I tried removing/replace the Sim card. Still have the problem.
I got really frustrated with this and after spending over an hour on the phone with technical support and then with Assurion, I got them to replace my phone, with a replacement S4.   Spent another couple of hours getting my phone reconfigured, including having to spend another half an hour on the phone with technical support because the new phone wasn’t activating on the network.   And, still have the same problem on two consecutive days where the phone hangs when I try to make a call at the end of the day. (Though I had been able to make a couple of calls during the day).
So:
·         It fails in safe mode
·         It fails if I set the network to LTE/CDMA rather than Global
·         It fails after re-seating the Sim card
·         It fails with a replacement device
What’s going on? How do I fix this?

Pages 5.0 missing connecting text boxes/Old version not in Time Capsule

I have upgraded to Mavericks ... also Pages 5.0 ... I am prepping my year end documents and when opening the docs, notice that I have to UPGRADE the document to work with this version. Once in, I see there are many features that are broken. For me, the connected text boxes are the most disturbing problem. I wanted to open the doc with Pages 4, but that is not possible. The file has been changed. I went into Time Capsule to find the older version so that I could restore it and open it with the older version of Pages, but it's been deleted from history .... really? ... my documents have been destroyed, and the history wiped out. This is why I switced from Windows. Deep breath ... is there some help out there?

I've tried it a couple of times now, albeit with test documents I made specially. Here are the steps again...
Open it in Pages 5 and go to File > Revert to > Browse all versions...
Use the Time Machine interface to restore the version before you opened in Pages 5. You'll get a repeat of the warning about how your document is going to be messed up, but you can OK that.
Close the document.
You should now be able to open the same document in Pages '09.

How to apply a semi-transparent background to a text box

Hi Framers,
The cover of my doc has a full-page .png file on a master page. I want to add the title of the manual on the body page of the cover in a text box. No problem. However, I want to apply a semi-transparent effect to the background of the text box, so the graphic behind it shows in a muted way.
I'm sure this has to do with some combination of the Tint, Fill, and Overprint settings but none of my experiments have produced anything close to the desired effect.
I did RTFM and also searched the Help and the forum. I truly hope I didn't overlook the answer---but if I did, it wasn't for lack of trying!
As always, your expertise is very much appreciated.
TIA,
Gay

Wow, I wish I had Photoshop! I use a less sophisticated image editor, which has always served quite adequately and since it supports layers, I'll try to figure out how to do what you're suggesting.
(I did try a "None" fill and the bottom image does show up, but I wanted it a bit muted, as would happen with perhaps a "half transparency" and that is apparently what I can't achieve in FM.)
If I understand correctly, I need to edit the imported graphic to make a portion of it appear semi-transparent, and then when I bring it back into FM and put my text box on top of it, it will appear the same as if I had been able to put a partial transparency in the fill of the text box...
I really, really, really hate it when I find myself thinking "Word could do this easily, why can't Frame?"
Thanks for your helpful suggestions, guys, you're great. As always!
Gay

How to connect text boxes so that text flows from different boxes to others, on same page or other pages?

How do you connect Text Boxes? So that text flows from one to the other, on same page or following pages?

I am paying for Serif's Affinity Designer, which I don't need, so Serif has seed money for Affinity Publisher, which I am hoping will prove just as good as A.D.
I like Serif's attitude to its customers.
They acknowledge that their customers actually have jobs, and just want tools that don't stop them doing their work.
Apple sells tools for Selfies, but I've yet to meet anyone who makes a living out of taking and distributing them.

Properties box transparent - text error

I updated my Acrobat to 9.3.3 and now when I open an PDF I am seeing 2 problems.
The first is if I produce a box and I open its properties it is transparent.
Also at the same time there is an overlaying of text.
How do I fix this problem?
Windows XP SP3 Pro
See image

Thanks for your help Peter,
There are no shadows or reflections on the text boxes.
Where would I check or change the transparency on my bitmap objects - I can't seem to find it?
Thanks again!
