White block around text in preferences UI window

I've recently started getting white (or very light grey) blocks around my text and controls in preferences windows. It doesn't do it in primary windows in osX. below is an example from the iTunes preferences window. Not sure when it started doing it...it was recent but other than calibrating my monitors I don't recall doing anything else that would cause such a thing. And going back to previous monitor calibrations doesn't fix it. Any thoughts?

You are opening an image directly in the browser -
MM_openBrWindow('dr_chm_allrgt_400x300.jpg'
In that case, you have no control over how the browser
displays the image.
To get control, you would have to open an HTML page that
contains the image
instead of opening the image directly.
There are extensions that will do this for you on the fly -

White box around text in Windows-based PDFs viewed on Mac

I make a lot of Microsoft Word-based PDFs that include colored, text-filled tables. They look great when viewed on my machine, but Mac users see a faint white outline around the text in each cell of the table. How do I get rid of the white box?

Very sorry--that's certainly information I should have included. I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, version 9.3.3. I'm creating the PDFs from within Microsoft Word 2007 via the Acrobat tab on the ribbon, clicking "Create PDF."

White box around text in pdf

Hi. In InDesign CS3, Photoshop 7.0 & of course Acrobat 7.0
I made a Photoshop PDF & brought it into InDesign to export it into a PDF so I can make crop marks.
The PDF in Acrobat & InDesign both had a white box around some of the text. I had embedded the fonts in Photoshop, so I do not understand why that happened. I went back into Photoshop & just retyped over where the box was appearing & this had solved the problem after I repdfed & imported it into ID. Acrobat viewed the text perfect then.
I want to prevent this from happening in the future, does anyone know what I can do to look out for things like this?

Error in printing? White boxes around text?

Right now I'm experencing a problem with printing in
Flashpaper. In my company we're converting brochures over into
Flashpaper as a test. Everything converts over smoothly until we do
a print test. What we're seeing in our print outputs is any area
that contains text on top of a image you'll get an white box around
the text. Although when you view the flashpaper on the monitor you
don't see that white box around the text. It appears that during
print process the text fields retain a white box and doesn't set it
to be transparent.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? And is there a way
around this?

HI
Did you ever get any clue about this issue? I have the same
problem or worse.

White lines around texts with object effects applied

I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
Any help?
In Acrobat Pro:
In Photoshop:
In Skim:

Thanks so much, Bob.
My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

Export indesign document to pdf white strokes around text

Hello there, I have this problem, I am exporting an indesign document to interactive pdf, and the problem seams to appear, when I open the created pdf in adobe reader x, it shows some of the text with white outlines, and the text looks very thick. When previewed in indesign, it looks perfect, text looks crisp. I also opened the pdf document with apples preview, and in preview it looks fine! But in adobe reader it looks horible, I tried adobe readers on other computers, and they all show up with the outline. What causes this anoying issue? plase help, thanks

We'd have to see the file to know for sure, but this sounds like a transparency flattening issue. Thickened text is indicative of it being converted to outlines, whcih can happen when it interacts with transparency. It's not clear if your white lines are around theindividual glyphs, or around the entire areas. The latter is also a common flattenign artifact called "stitching" that shows up on screen and in low resoution printing.
The first bit of advice is to keep your text at the top of the stacking order, above transparency, shadows, and other effects. It sometimes helps to have a top layer just for text. The way to eliminate these artifacts 100% of the time is to not flatten transparency at all, which is possible in Print PDFs, but alas, not in Interactive.

Bounding box around Text Illustrator CS2 12 Windows XP

My computer crashed while using Adobe Illustrator and when rebooting I have lost the bounding box when typing text. Now I am unable to resize my text. Any suggestions on how to get the bounding box back? Clicking the direct selection tool does nothing. I can outline the text but still no bounding box to grab and resize.
Should I reinstall Illustrator? Is there a default setting to go back to? If I shut down and reboot the same problem happens.

Is it just text objects or others, as well?

White space/margin around images in onClick popup windows

Hi. I'm using a JavaScript function that comes with
dreamweaver so what when users click on thumbnail images, a larger
window pops up with the image. Here's the function:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Here's an example of how I'm using it in the code:
<a href="javascript:;"><img
src="dr_chm_allrgt_200x281.jpg" width="200" height="281" border="0"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('dr_chm_allrgt_400x300.jpg','','width=300,height=400')"
/></a>
This works great, except for one thing: the image doesn't
appear in the very top left-hand corner of the pop-up window --
there's some white space around it, and the right and bottom edges
of the image are cut off, because they don't fit in the pop-up
window. I'm wondering, is there some way around this problem,
that's less messy than changing the width and height that I'm
passing to the function every time?
Thanks

Large White Blocks - not refreshing

Hi All,
Got a simple little problem.
I have an application that pops up a number of windows, once I close them there is an unsightly white block left where they used to be. The worst culprite is the filedialog popup. How do I 'refresh' the underlying frame ?
Along a similar line, I want to display some text just after the filedialog closes, a "Please Wait" message, but although System.out.println displays, the text in my frame does not.
Any thoughts ?

The snippet shows a popup being called, then the suggested code to refresh the frame that lay under the popup.
what actually happens is: the popup appears, is clicked on to answer it, the popup closes, and the underlying frame now has a white block appeared on it, just under where the popup was.
I am developing, and would like to keep an 'old' windows feel, so am trying not to use too much swing.
The code for my frame contents is
public XXXX(String title) {
     /* Display stuff */
          super(title);
          int frame_height = 500;
          int frame_width = 600;
          setSize(frame_width, frame_height);
          //setVisible(true);
          updateMenuBar();
          jla = new JLabel("Nothing Also");
          int rows = 20;
          int columns = 50;
          jta = new JTextArea("Nothing", rows, columns);
          jlb = new JLabel("Status");
          jsp = new JScrollPane(jta);
          //this.setLayout(new GridLayout());
          p1.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
          GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
// gbc for jta
          gbc.gridx = 0; // column 0
          gbc.gridy = 0; // row 0
          gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.gridwidth = 1;
          gbc.weightx = 0;
          gbc.weighty = 0;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
          gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
          gbc.insets = new Insets(0,0,10,0);
          gbc.ipadx = 0; // increase component width by ? pixels
          gbc.ipady = 0; // increase component height by ? pixels
          p1.add(jla,gbc);
// gbc for jsp
          gbc.gridy = 1; // row 1
          gbc.insets = new Insets(0,0,0,0);
          p1.add(jsp,gbc);
// gbc for jsp
          gbc.gridy = 2; // row 2
          gbc.insets = new Insets(10,0,0,0);
          p1.add(jlb,gbc);
// gbc for panel in this frame
          gbc.gridx = 0; // column 0
          gbc.gridy = 0; // row 0
          gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.gridwidth = 1;
          gbc.weightx = 0;
          gbc.weighty = 0;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.NORTH;
          gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
          gbc.insets = new Insets(0,0,0,0);
          gbc.ipadx = 0; // increase component width by ? pixels
          gbc.ipady = 0; // increase component height by ? pixels
          //this.add(p1,gbc);

Time saving feature, repeating common blocks of text

I might be missing something obvious because I don't know the right terminology to search help for, but...
Is there a way to save blocks of text that you often use, and then bring them up in a new document with a few keystrokes? For example, in every letter I write I type out my full address. Wordperfect used to have user-defined keyboard shortcuts. Windows 2.0 used to have a macro recorder that would let you save repetitive actions and then replay them. Is there anything like this in Pages or osX generally?
Thanks for any help

Hey,
This may be an option.
Open Pages preferences>Auto-Correction. Then click on the plus sign at the lower left and add this...
Your initials, mine are ajw, tab to the window to the right and type in your Name that you want.
Start another one, "adr" then Tab, your street address.
Again and I use "csz"(city, state,zip) Tab and enter your city, state, zip.
Hit return and you are done.
Now try typing those short abbreviations in a document, one at a time and on different lines.
I hope this has helped you or anyone else out there.

How to change default texts in OSX dialogue windows?

I'd like to change some of the texts that appear in the OSX dialogue boxes.
One example: I have set my Mac up to ask for the password after N minutes of sleep. I would like to change the text in the box/window that appears when the Mac is woken up and where you are told to submit your ID and password (I'm sorry that I am not sure what exactly it says in English because I'm using another language).
The closest thing to what I need I have come across is this:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText 'Hands off'
However, this applies only to the first login window you see after you have started the computer. I'd like to change other default texts as well.
The default texts in different languages must be stored somewhere. How do I find them and how do I chage them? Any advice would be appreciated.

It seems like the same problem as would be faced by someone localizing the OS, so perhaps there would be something useful here:

Hairline white line around images in PDF for press

CS3, Windows XP
I searched the forum and didn't find this exact question, so..., I place PSD file in ID. When I export to PDF for the press run, I get a thin hairline white box around the photo. It only seems to happen when the placed image is over a gradient. It also only happens on PDF files for press run - either Press Quality or PDF/X-1a:2001. When I export to "Smallest File Size" it looks fine. I have the border of the image set to 0 and the color to None.
And it only seems to happen sometimes. A month or so ago I created a similar piece using different photos, but the same gradient background and it looked and printed fine.
Thoughts?
JAG

The stitching and a grey box was showing up on my press proofs. The printer suggested that I flatten the image before I send it to them.
Sometimes I see in on screen and sometimes I don't, but my printer says they see it every time and that it will show up on the proof. I've been trying several different PDF exporting options in ID. We are getting the proofs done correctly, but there's only one guy at my printer that can get the file corrected. I'm not sure exactly what he is doing, but one of the people I deal with suggested that he was opening the file in PS, flattening it again, and exporting to PDF, again.
He's the boss and not alway around, so I'm trying to figure out how I can get file exported correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Update 4.1.2 deleting large blocks of text following backspace correction

OK, this is a difficult for me to explain, but here goes nothing. I have been having an issue since the update. When typing a message, when I backspace to correct a wrong word/spelling, and then select the correct word from the predictive text bar, most of my message gets erased and replaced with the one word I selected. Even weirder, the word gets inserted in between the few characters of remaining text. The first couple times it happened, I thought I had accidentally selected the block of text with my cursor, but that was not the case. The text is not selected, but acts as though it is and gets overwritten/deleted. This is happening in Messaging and Gmail (and I am assuming all other typing applications).
Is anyone else having this issue? It is making me wan to throw my phone out the window! Please let me know if you know a fix for this.

Mine is doing the same thing! I got the update last night and it is deleting practically my entire message when I backspace. Also, the puncuation options do not pop up anymore like they used to at the top of the keyboard unless you hit space and then backspace.
I'm right there with you...I want to throw this thing out the window. I've seen some cool things this update did, but things I hardly ever would use. The fact it messed with my texting (something I do a lot) has really ****** me off.

Putting background solid/block behind text?

New to Muse (1st day) no background in web development. Have created a master template that has a tiled image for browser background fill. Page text does not display well on top of the background image so I added a white solid block that serves to define the content area of the page. However, when I add text to an actual page (not the template), if I add a lot of text the background block does not expand vertically to enclose the text I add. The result is text that overflows the background solid block and displays (poorly) over the background fill like so:
I am probably not going about this in the right way but am unsure what the correct method would be to define a background color that expands/contract dynamically with the content of different pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of using a white rectangle block , you can try to use a white fill for text frame itself which would address the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Copying text from Oracle Applications Window to other Application windows

Hi All,
I am not able to copy text from oracle applications windows to my other application windows.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Amit

Check in your organization who is able to copy the text. Then from that user machine, who is able to copy text, copy identitydb.obj file and copy to your machine (overwrite the current one)
Then clear its jcache and browser cache one time. From that point forward they can connect to both instances. This is accomplished as follows:
1. On each Client PC, you will need the new instance 1 (TEST) version of this identitydb.obj file located C:\Program Files\Oracle\identitydb.obj (default location )
2. Clear Jinitiator jcache : On the client PC delete all files found in c:\Program Files\oracle\jinitiator 11727 Export\jcache
3. Clear browser cache:
a) Netscape : Edità Preferencesà Advancedà cache and delete Memory Cache and Disk Cache
b) Internet Explorer : Toolsà Internet Options à delete Temporary Internet Files
For any further assistance pls. feel free to ask.
Regards,
