URXVT and black bar graphics glitch.

I have a problem, I'm using xmonad (display with no borders), and running "urxvt +sb -tr -fg green -bg black -sh 30" gives me a black bar glitch at the bottom and right hand side of the urxvt window seen at

Anyone know how to get rid of this black bar? It seems to be related to the -bg color since it changes to the bg color every time I change the value for -bg. Thanks for taking the time.
EDIT:
It seems that the borders get fixed when I switch to a different desktop (modkey + number of desktop) and back again to the same desktop.
By fix, I mean the borders are the same as the background, but now when I move the window, the same spots take the color of the background that was previously on them to the new spots they are moved to. If this is confusing, I'll gladly add some screenshots to illustrate what I mean.
EDIT:
This is what I'm using to launch urxvt to get the effect: "urxvt -tr +sb -fg green -bg black -sh 25"

  • Stumping You with Pulsing Dissolves and Black Bars

    To start at the beginning...
    I have been having problems with imported footage recently. I usually import footage from three sources. A Sony VX2100, A little Canon ZR 200 and Quicktime output from Photo to Movie (I use this software to animate still photos - very good).
    In the pasts few weeks all of the footage I import has thin black bars on either side of the frame. (If we assume that the actual size is 720x480 the "image" might be 700x420...resulting in these these black bars being consistantly there regardless of where I am importing from...and on the footage I import from the Canon there is a thin black bar accross the bottom of the frame as well!
    I posted this problem a few weeks back here and on some other forums and the consensus opinion was to reset my easy setup. I trashed preferences and followed this specific advice..."The easiest way to sort this out is to start FCP but close all open projects so that only the menu bar is showing. Now choose Easy Setup from the FCP menu. Check the Show All box if needed and choose your desired setting - this insures that clip, capture and sequence settings are all the same. Now start a new project and capture a test clip. Drop it into a sequence." I selected the basic DV NTSC 720x480. WHich is waht all of teh source material was shot/created at.
    I did all of this and no joy... the black bars are still there after I import it into FCP (there are no black bars in the original source material. It is at true dimensions, so the problem lies in FCP).
    While I have been trying to figure this out I did a simple workaround by blowing the footage up 103% which fills the 720x480 frame. For TV I would not care because the evil bars would be out of TV, but for internet stuff I (obviously) want full frame. The problem when I do this is that when I insert a dissolve between two segments that have been resized (at 103%) the image pulses after the transition. It appears that the stock dissolves only work with footage that is at 100% size...the image pulses back to the 103% size the instant the dissove is complete. Baffling.
    So here is where I am. I can't figure what the deal is with FCP importing footage that is full frame out of the camera or software and getting these black bars...and If try to do a workaround and blow the footage up I get this pulsing after the transitions. The footage is fine if I do manual cross dissolves using the opacity levels but who has the time do do that?
    Any suggestion kids?...this is really annoying.
    MS

    Thanks but that was one of the first (and most obvious) things I tried. That is the thing that is baffling is look liike a window size image but it is not. The black bars are in the image and they occur somewhere in the importing process.
    The only thing I can think of is it is a settings issue as I did not have this problem a couple of months ago.
    Any other thoughts?

  • How to render in Final Cut Express without widescreen and black bars?

    Hi there,
    I have been having problems when importing my xbox 360 gameplay into FCE, when it is imported it says it needs to be "rendered" when I complete the render the gameplay turns into widescreen with black bars on top and bottom.
    Watch this video on youtube and you can see what I mean
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Wi0hDq-iU
    I have searched and searched on the net but found nothing useful that could help me.
    So any tips info would be greatly appreciated, thanks Chris.

    Do you mean size format and time length? If not please explain for me.
    If so, the original file size, length and format that is going into Steamclip is 200mb, is an mp4 and goes for 2:12 minutes.
    Then after I convert this file it becomes a mov file and the size is increased to 1.02 GB does this seem like I am doing this right in MPEG Streamclip?
    I only just got FCE two days ago so I don't really know how to check the item properties in FCE, could you please tell me how?"
    Thanks, Chris.

  • AWN and black bar (nevermind, pekwm's fault)

    edit: ok, so I tested it with openbox and it works fine, so I guess the problem is pekwm. Apparently, AWN 0.4 won't need compositing anymore, so it won't be a problem.
    When I run avant-window-navigator, a black bar appears at the bottom of the screen. I've already made a search and all the results I found are about missing composition, but I've already enabled composition in my xorg.conf and I'm also running xcompmgr.
    Everything is up to date, my video card is an Intel GMA965 and my window manager is pekWM and I've tried using both AWN from repositories as the bzr version from AUR. I don't know why it isn't working.
    My xorg.conf:

    Identifier "Xorg Configured"
    Screen "LVDS"

    Send it in to Apple Service. Sounds like you've got a defective screen. They should replace it under warranty. If they try to charge you for something, remind them that it is still under warranty and you want them to repair a materials defect.

  • Tabs fail and address bar is glitched

    Hi, I just downloaded safari 3 now, and when I try to open new tabs, it shows a loading symbol on the side (where the tabs is supposed to open up) but then it just disappears. In addition to that there seems to be a problem with the address bar; when a new page is loading the address is partially in bold font. That isn't really a problem but I think it's related to the tab issue.

    Hi. If your OS is up to date via Software Update you shouldn't have had to download Safari 3. It is included in 10.4.11.
    I suggest you go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    and download/install the Combo update.
    But first you need to check that there is no errors on your start-up disk that caused your Safari problems. Insert your Tiger install disk in the drive and restart. As soon as you hear the start-up chime press and hold the 'C' key. When the installer has finished loading select your Language then Next/Continue. On the next page look at the top left of the menu bar and select Utilities/Disk Utility. Choose your startup volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and select Repair Disk. If D.U. reports that the volume appears to be OK quit DU, quit Installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
    If D.U. reports that repairs were made re-run repair until you get the message that the volume appears to be OK. Then quit D.U., quit installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
    Then go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select your start-up volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and choose Repair Permissions. Once that has finished quit D.U.
    Then back up at least your important files, or preferably create a clone of your system on an external drive if you have one. Then go to the above link, download it and install. It is a large file, will take a while to download, and takes a long time to install with a long double restart. Do Not interrupt the process once it has begun.
    Good luck and post back with how things go or if you have any queries that you want to clear up before you embark upon the above.

  • Lines and Black bar on iMac

    I wanted to ask if anyone knew what was wrong with my iMac. I've included a picture of what my issue is since it's really hard to explain. Any help would be great. Can it be fixed or is it a lost cause?
    Thanks!

    Wow. that is odd looking.
    In your take-apart and rebuild work, did you have to move anything that has to do with the display, it's associated connecting cables, etc?
    Just a guess, but maybe something's been left loose? Something video related?
    Given you indicate no issues pre-upgrades, I would believe something might have been goofed physically.
    Sorry I'm no help here. Was kinda hoping for a shot of something I'd seen before, but that shot is unique to me.

  • Freezing Macbook Pro. Graphical glitches and occasional 3 tones on start up. Hardware test shows no errors. Is it RAM or a graphics card on the way out, or software?

    Recently my MacBook Pro has been freezing and showing bad graphical glitches. Multiple restarts eventually fix it and a couple of times the three tones break, three tones break warning has occurred on start up. From what I can find this is usually a RAM error but after doing a hardware check I get the response all is OK. This still happens after the check and I am unsure what the problem could be. Can anyone help? Could it be a memory issue, a hard drive issue, Graphics card issue (drivers are up to date) or is something up with the software. I also have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 too and this is a problem that presents itself there too.

    Most likely to be RAM:
    Beeps on startup:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images.
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

    I would suggest you take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic.

  • [X230] Screen issues (black bars)

    Hi,
    I've got a X230 with an IPS screen since 1,5 years, and I currently have some issues with it.
    Sometimes, the bottom left of the screen blink and black bars appears, along with some square brightness shapes.
    I'm pretty bad to description, so here an album of the problem : http://imgur.com/a/qIwj5#0 (it's more clear if you zoom).

    This is a detail of the bottom left :

    Again, this appear sometimes only, and a knock in the screen resolve the problem, but it's worrying.
    Does someone has already have this kind of problems ?
    Thanks for your responses !

    Hi,
    Connect the system to an external monitor and check if it displays correctly. If it does, probably your LCD panel/invertor/cable had gone faulty. If it comes out the same way on the external monitor, you're looking at motherboard repair/replacement.

  • 3D graphics glitches/artifacts

    I've noticed a very weird problem in certain 3D applications. I first noticed it when playing Warcraft 3. In certain scenery, single pixels (usually yellow) will flash briefly then go away. Almost like static. Once it starts happening, two or three will pop up every few seconds so it's very difficult to detect normally.
    Figuring it was probably just the game, I fired up Quake 3 and after a bit I noticed the same thing. Then I tried Diablo 2 and again noticed the same thing (especially after entering a cave or something with dark corners - I see them quite a bit more in there).
    At this point, I was pretty sure it was either a defect in the video card or perhaps the video card was over heating and producing artifacts. But I went ahead and tried two other games, Ghost Recon and Doom3 (demo) and I couldn't get either one of them to show any errors. Even after cranking up the detail options, neither of them showed the slightest hint of problems. I'd roam around for a bit in Doom3 then exit out, go in to Quake3, stick my nose up against the display and sure enough I'd see one or two pixels flickering randomly. Go back into Recon or Doom and nada.
    The problem also doesn't show up outside of 3D apps - i.e, like on the desktop or anything.
    So I'm wondering - has anyone else noticed this sort of thing before? Could it be a driver issue, or an indication of a more serious hardware failure? Another thought occurred to me too - I'm using the ATI Displays (4.5.6 ) preferences panel from ATI. And although I notice the problem with or without and OpenGL overrides for those games, could that be what's buggering things up? My impression was that ATI Displays didn't replace the OS X drivers but allowed you to configure them more.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    this is why I hate leopard because graphics problems arrose with outside applications, especially when I am trying to play a game. this is annoying, and once one graphic glitch occurs, I get tons of others! It bugs me soo much. Apple needs to work this out before I go insane from distoritions and graphics disappearing and getting stretched

  • Adobe media encoder CS4 - alised graphics and small black bars at 480x360 for web---HELP!

    I recently installed the CS4 premiere software with Adobe Media encoder. I encode video for the web.
    I have been a professional web video producer for over 10 years and have been using adobe products my whole career
    My issues are:
         1)  I can not get clean edges on my graphics when exporting a flash video (.flv or .f4v) using "field order: progressive" as it should be for web output. All my graphics are high quality and I have tryed many formats (.eps, .psd, .gif ,jpg, .pnd) but once I change the field order drop down in the encoder settings to "(none) progressive" the graphics become alised...
         2) My videos which are  a size of 480x360 now have small black bars at the top and bottom after encoding the original down to 480x360. I have tried to crop the video so the bar go away but the whole  video get fuzzy...WTF
    I have spent so many hours reading and searching trying to fix these two issued and I am thinking that I am going back to my old software and discrediting the new adobe product every chance i get!!!!!!!!!!
    I was previously using premiere pro 1.5, editing video and graphics and then exporting an uncompressed .mov file and then used Flash 8 Video Encoder to render a .flv file. This produced great video with crisp graphics.
    PLEASE HELP

    Stan,
    I was using the on2VP6 codec at data rates from 275k to 400k with good results. -- with the new CS$ endcoder i am used h.264 at 500k to 700k, video quality looks good but the graphic overlays look like alised crap. In the encoder settings the edges of the graphics get jaged when I make the field order progresive...
    I am starting with DV NTSC video at 720x480.
    I am going to go back to my old work flow and test it. The settings are a bit different from premiere pro 1.5 to CS4 -- in 1.5 i could export out an unconpressed .mov with square px and then bring that large file to flash media encoder to create the .flv

  • Black bars in Windows 7 with mac mini and AMD 6630M HD

    I bought a new i5 Mac mini.
    I installed win 7 home premium 32 bit on it without a problem using boot camp from Lion. However windows does not totally fill the screen. There are black bars on all side of the display. About an inch thick.
    I have the mini connected via HDMI to my sharp Aquos tv @ 1080p.
    What can I do to fox this? My previous mini did not do this with nearly the same setup. There is now where to downlaod drivers for the AMD 6630M HD card in this mini.

    Hi PaulJO
    I have the same problem when I tried downloading and installing the catalyst suite software from AMD web site, it told me that my graphic card was not compatible. Which I know is!!
    Any help on getting the driver?!?!

  • Firefox actualized the new version, but it looks only a black screen and no watch buttons and scroll bars, nothing

    The new version of Firefox dosen't work is only a black screen without buttons and scroll bars. I try re install and uninstall and erase files, but dosen't work.

    Sorry, please disable hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround. This is an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and some older graphics card/chipset drivers. More info: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438

  • Graphic glitch and freezing.

    I had a graphic problem with my iMac 3 weeks ago, had to take it to an Apple repairer 3 hours away, there just isn't anyone closer, and have had it back for about 6 hours now. I got the Snow Leopard upgrade while it was away and have been looking forward to getting into it all. As soon as I got my iMac home I fired it up and straight away noticed a graphic glitch or something odd on my 2nd monitor, kinda looked like aliens from space invaders... This problem went away if I changed that monitors resolution or if I rotated the display, so I thought it might be a driver problem which should hopefully be fixed by upgrading to SL.
    I attempted this upgrade, it seemed to go fine but when I finally got into SL I noticed that once again there were some space invader glitches, but instead of being huge and all the way across the 2nd monitor they were in 2 separate blocks 1 in the top left and one just slightly to the right from center at the very top, they were flashing green from time to time (just like before) but that was about all. After a few seconds all the icons on my desktop and also the dock icons screwed up, display as black and white lines, or weird colored blocks, or super pixelated and just pretty screwy.
    I formatted from fresh doing Leopard (without updating fully to 10.5.8) then installing SL, same problem, I then tried installing just SL which worked as usual but still had the graphic glitches when hovering over or interacting this time, also there were some problems with the glitches showing over windows (I'll put a link to a screenshot of them at the end). I'm currently updating a fresh install of Leopard to 10.5.8 to then update to SL to see if that works.
    I had a thought that it might be hardware, the logic board and graphics card were both replaced during the repair time, they said they tested it but on the repair form I got it just says 'restarted a few times with no problems' so I'm not sure if they even tested it very much.
    It took almost 3 weeks to get my mac back today, and these problems are quite annoying, if I have to lose it for another 3 weeks because of this lack of testing I'm gonna be rather annoyed as I'm losing work because of it.
    Anyone got ideas of what it might be? or just anyone else had this problem with SL or just Leopard? Any information would be great.
    Screenshot of glitch while doing a google search:
    http://www.xager.net/i/glitch.jpg

    My old first gen macbook pro had a similar problem (under Tiger and Leopard), it was fixed. My current unibody macbook pro is doing this as well, I've only noticed it now under Snow Leopard.
    I doubt it's a software problem, I've had similar issues in PCs when their video cards were running too hot. My current mbp gets these glitches when the system is under more load and so I'm sure its heat related. One time the heat and glitches got so bad the system just locked up.
    I hope you can get your system repaired. I am going to now go ahead and try my luck with apple support as well.
