White widget text no longer white

I'm experiencing a weird problem with my widgets. Anywhere that white text should appear, it now appears black with a faint outline where the normally white text is antialiased against the darker background color. This affects all the widgets with white text on a dark background, such as the calendar and weather.
Does anyone have an idea what the fix is for this kind of problem?

Adwiz, that's a very common Dashboard problem that has to do with a font conflict, specifically: you probably have a PostScript version of "Helvetica Neue" installed in ~/Library/Fonts. Dashboard uses the Apple-installed version of Helvetica Neue, so if you happen to have another version, it causes the problem you are seeing. The only solution is to disable your version of that font, or to use a font managing program to assign Apple's font to Dashboard, and your custom font for whatever program may have installed it.

  • White Background Isn't Really White -- Gray #F8F8F8

    I'm having a funny issue with FCE 4.0. I have keyed out a grayscale background and inserted a solid white background underneath. The movie preview window looks perfect; however, when I export the video the white background is no longer white. The gray value is #F8F8F8 or 2.7% grayscale.
    I think I've exhausted all the rendering configurations and am now thinking it has to do with the color pallete of the video file. I shot this video using a Canon HF10, then imported into iMovie 08 and exported to Final Cut XML.
    The reason why I think it's an import issue is because I have had videos exported from iMovie 08 in the "iPhone" format with correct white levels, but I cannot get the desired white level from FCE. After hours of searching the only lead I have is that the color pallete might not be set to RGB; yet, I see no way to adjust the colors from YUV -> RGB in Final Cut Express (if this is even the case.. I dont know what my imported movie is set as, RGB or YUV).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is very unusual, then I can try to get a sample Final Cut file for you guys to look at.
    Thank you for any help, and please let me know if I can provide more information.

    So I've figured out the culprit is an RGB filter on my video.
    What I've done is place a solid white rectangle at the top most layer, I still key out the background, but the video has a floating white rectangle now which should have the value #FFFFFF once rendered.
    Layer 3 - Floating White Rectangle
    Layer 2 - Capturee Video <--- RGB Filter
    Layer 1 - White Background
    Even though the RGB filter is only on Layer 2, it seems to affect Layer 1 and 3. I'm very new to Final Cut & Video editing, but I would not imagine a filter applied to a single layer affecting all layers in a project, is this not the case? If it is, anyone have some ideas on how to limit the effects of that item to Layer 2 only? I require the RGB filter to fix some unevenness in my Captured Video prior to Keying the background.

  • Text appearing as white on white on a webpage?

    A friend of mine created this website http://www.confinementmovie.com/ but for me in Safari (and Firefox) most of the text appears as white on a white background (i.e. it can't be read unless highlighted with a mouse). He said this isn't true for other people he's shown it to. Is this a problem of some settings on my computer/browsers, or a problem in the html of his site?

    Thanks for checking! From further information I have received elsewhere, evidently the site was created in Microsoft Word and only displays properly in Internet Explorer.

  • The toolbar at the top of my desktop is no longer white and doesn't show the little apple symbol

    The toolbar on the desktop is no longer white and is missing the apple symbol. How do I correct this?

    At the most top right point of the screen hover with your mousepointer: an icon of two small arrows will come visible, click that and the maximized application window will shrink and your "normal" desktop will become visible.

  • White text on a white background when adding glossary definitions

    I inherited an existing IBA file so I'm not sure how the styles were defined (and I've never really played around with custom styles or layouts) but I was hoping it wouldn't matter.  The main color scheme is a dark background and light (white) text.  Similar to the built in template 'contemporary'. 
    When I add a glossary term, i have my definitions in a separate (word) document.  I copy/paste from the document into the glossary term area.  When I paste, it's pasting white text.  Background color of the glossary definition window is also white (not sure I can control that).  My definition document is black text.
    When I test the book, the little glossary dialog pops up when I touch/click on a word but again, it's white text on a white background.
    Can I change the background color of the glossary dialog?
    Is there a way to change all my glossary definitions from white text to black text?
    When I create a test book using 'contemporary', which is also white text on a dark background, it does not have this problem.

    As I mentioned, when I used a built in template, like contemporary, it worked too.  The problem only happened with the IBA that I was given.  Perhaps the previous owner of the file had accidentally chosen Format/Advanced/Define Default Glossary Style when they had some white on white displayed and caused all the formatting for the glossary to be the same.  I was able to fix it using that menu path.
    I'm not sure what fixing it in the "source file" means.  I was trying to fix it in the IBA file.  Not sure where else I would have fixed it.

  • In Safari, the top of of the screen is no longer white; it's a dark gray, and everything is in shades of gray. The line that shows a page is loading is now  white instead of blue. Any ideas why it's so dark and in black/white?

    All of a sudden, in Safari, the top of the page is no longer white; instead it's a dark gray, and the bar where you type in a web address is a slightly lighter shade of gray. The rest of the page is in color like always. Also, the line that shows a page is loading is white against the gray background, isntead of the usual blue. Any thoughts?

    Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

  • Exporting to pdf from Pages 9 turns all text color to white

    I made a 34 page document for someone, exported to pdf and sent it to him. He called me asking why all the text came out white. The only reason you could see the text is because I had a tinted background on every page. Tried several times and the black comes out white in the pdf document. Any one had that problem before?

    I'm using Acrobat pro 9.
    I have been using Pages and exporting to pdf for more than a year now and never had this problem. The file I'm working with is a word document sent to me by my customer that I copied and pasted into Pages. I found a way around it by doing the following: I clicked print. In the print window, there is a scroll down button that gives the option of saving to pdf or to postcript. Saving to pdf gave me the same problem, so I saced to postscript. I opened the postcript file withpreview and from there exported to pdf to get it to work finally.
    This is what the file should look like
    This is what I get when I export from the file menu

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

  • On file open: "This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists."

    I had an existing, functional datepicker in a web page.
    Recently I downloaded the UI Datepicker in the Widget Browser and installed it in DW CS5. Now every time I load the file that calls the datepicker that I added myself, a warning opens with the following text:
    This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser might display JavaScript errors when loading the page. Would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you?
    Widget: $("#reservDateBegin").datepicker();
    Widget: $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker();
    Clicking "Yes" opens the file and shows the search box at the bottom of the window with [current document] in File and $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker(); in Matched Text. Clicking "No" just opens the file.
    The error is wrong, since installing the widget is what caused the error in the first place!
    How can I get DW to stop showing this message?
    Thanks for any help.

    I do understand you're trying to be helpful. I was just hoping providing the relevant code snippets would be sufficient so I didn't have to take the time to provide a "cleaned" version of the files and upload those to a public-safe location.
    Zabeth69 wrote: If you don't understand what 'code at the bottom of the page' means, you have not used one of those systems. I don't know what causes the error code to come up (besides removing a Spry widget, I mean). So if it doesn't apply to you, ignore it.
    This is exactly my point: I haven't used any of the DW "systems". I've always manually coded in DW, so I can't have removed a Spry widget in the first place. It wasn't until I installed the Widget using the Widget Browser that I started getting the error (I don't mean adding the datepicker widget to the code using the DW Insert menu - I mean installing the Widget into DW itself). Ignoring such an erroneous/incorrect error seems kind of silly, since every time I open the file I get the error message.
    Anyway, as requested, the following are links to the contactUsCleaned.php page, and the php included headerCleaned.php file. Since these use php includes to complete the rendered HTML, they won't look right in the browser, but as you know viewing the source will show the relevant html, javascript, and jquery code. I didn't see any way to upload the files in this forum, which, due to the php code, would be preferable to see exactly what my code looks like...

  • White Question Mark instead of White Apple comes up when booting up. Why?

    White Question Mark instead of White Apple comes up when booting up.
    Hi guys,
    It happens regularly on booting up and then booting up stops, and I have to turn the iMac off and turn it back on again, sometimes several times, before getting a regular boot up.
    What is that about, and how to avoid it?
    Thanks,
    Raphael

    Thanks.
    I just found an Apple article dedicated to that called "Gray screen on startup."
    Symptoms
    Instead of seeing the Finder or the login window after startup, your computer may stop responding and the display may only show a persistent gray screen (you may also see an Apple logo, spinning gear, spinning globe, prohibitory sign, or a folder with a flashing question mark on it). Note: The below steps may not apply if a blue screen appears during start up.
    Products Affected
    Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X 10.5
    Resolution
    Note: Some steps below may reset preference settings or registration settings.
    Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
    Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
    Start up your Mac.
    If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
    Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
    If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
    If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
    Perform a Safe Boot
    Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
    Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
    If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
    If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
    If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility
    Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc (if you have discs with both versions, use whichever is closest to the Mac OS X version installed on your Mac; do not use a startup disc which came with a different Mac or which contains an earlier version of Mac OS X).
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start up your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
    Once started from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Utility menu.
    Note: If the gray screen issue persists and you can't start from the disc, go to the "Disconnect peripheral devices" section.
    In Disk Utility, perform a disk repair of your Mac OS X volume; if no issues are found, perform a permissions repair as well. If issues are found during the disk repair, try repairing again.
    After the Disk Utility operations are complete, restart without holding any keys.
    If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Check your cables and power source
    Make sure your power cables are secure (especially if you use a desktop Mac). Try a different cable or outlet if possible. If you use a surge protecter, try connecting directly to an outlet as a test.
    If you have power-related issues (such as your desktop Mac shutting down or restarting, or room lights dimming when an appliance comes on, consider contacting a certified electrician to check your outlets and electrical wiring).
    If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware
    Note: Skip this section if only Apple-brand RAM is installed in your Mac.
    Remove any non-Apple RAM or other third-party hardware upgrades (such as expansion cards or third-party optical drives or hard drives, if present) to help isolate the issue. This is necessary to get as close as possible to the original factory hardware configuration of your Mac.
    If you are not sure which RAM modules or other hardware is Apple or third-party, or if you are not comfortable performing these steps, or if you have a Mac mini, consider contacting an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance. Otherwise, perform these steps before going to the next section.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Open your Mac to access the memory slots. Refer to the User Guide that came with your Mac, or search Apple Support Manuals for a PDF copy of your Mac's User Guide.
    Remove any third-party RAM that has been installed.
    Reinstall the Apple RAM that came with the computer if available. Note that Mac OS X 10.5 requires 512 MB or more of RAM; Mac OS X 10.4 requires 256 MB or more of RAM.
    If your Mac starts up with only Apple RAM installed, contact the vendor of your third-party RAM.
    If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, and you can successfully start from your Mac OS X Install disc as noted above:
    Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc (if you have discs with both versions, use whichever is closest to the Mac OS X version installed on your Mac; do not use a startup disc which came with a different Mac or which contains an earlier version of Mac OS X).
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start up your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
    Perform an Archive and Install installation (preserving users and network settings).
    After installation, if the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort
    Important: You should only perform this step after trying all of the above steps. This process will erase all files from your Mac OS X volume. If possible, back up important files first, or use Time Machine. You may be able to connect your Mac to another Mac with a FireWire cable and FireWire target disk mode, in order to try to manually back up files. Alternatively, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    To erase your Mac OS X volume and reinstall Mac OS X:
    Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Startup your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
    Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X.
    After installing, starting from your Mac OS X volume, and verifying the issue is resolved, you should use Software Update to update to the latest available version of Mac OS X.
    Additional Information
    If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    If the issue only occurs when multiple peripheral devices are connected
    If a gray screen appears during start up only when several peripheral devices (that is, USB and/or FireWire devices) are connected, and you don't want to have only one device connected at a time, the issue may be caused by a combination of the peripheral devices.
    To illustrate this hypothetically, you may have three USB devices, which we'll call "A", "B", and "C". The issue may be that peripherals A and C have a conflict of some sort, and a gray screen only appears if they both are connected, but not if each one is connected separately. In the above "Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables" section you may have inferred that you have an issue only with device C because it was added after A. To avoid an inaccurate analysis, connect device C to your computer with no other devices. If your Mac has the startup issue with only device C connected, then you know it is the source of the issue. However if your Mac starts up, you have a conflict of devices to work out. To do this add the other devices one at a time with device C connected until your startup issue occurs (restart after adding one device). Repeat this process until you have just the minimum set of devices to produce your startup issue.
    What can you do?
    You should make sure each device has the latest firmware installed if applicable--check with the manufacturer for more information. You should also check for the latest driver versions, and if necessary install them while started in Safe Mode per above.
    If any of the devices requires a separate power source, be sure that power is connected to the device (for example, even if a device appears to be powered when connected via USB without the power cable, connect its power cable).
    Try different USB or FireWire cables with each device, as applicable.
    If you have a device similar to one of the conflicting devices, try replacing it with another one.
    Contact each device manufacturer or the materials that came with the device. for more support information or, if needed, service options.

  • Exclamation mark says text too long...but it's not

    My captions are 2 lines long, and they fit in the caption box. But I get an exclamation mark anyway -- the text warning that means (I think) "text too long."
    When I print the book on my color printer, all the text appears just fine.
    So here's question 1: If I try to send a book with text warnings, will Apple reject the file until I have made the warnings go away?
    And question 2: If the captions print just fine on my printer, are they likely to print just fine at Apple?
    Many thanks!

    When you order the book, a PDF will be created. That PDF is what gets uploaded to Apple (via Kodak) for printing. So the best way to check your book before ordering is to create a PDF, then inspect it. Chances are, what you see in your PDF is what you will get printed.
    To do this, select your book and do File > Print. You'll get an "Assembling book" progress bar. That can take several minutes. When done, you get the Print Dialog box. Click the PDF button and choose "Save as PDF..." Choose a name and location for the file (the Desktop is convenient) and Save. Then switch to the Finder and open that PDF in Preview.
    While I have not observed (or even tried to observe) for myself, I have read here from others that the PDF created this way may differ slightly from the one created by selecting Preview in the first Print dialog, and that it will more closely predict the final ordered book.
    My captions are 2 lines long, and they fit in the caption box. But I get an exclamation mark anyway -- the text warning that means (I think) "text too long."
    I have that warning on one of my text boxes, too. It looks fine in iPhoto, fine in the PDF, and printed fine when I ordered the book from Apple.
    Regards.

  • Problems with the Widget "Text Ticker"

    Hello, I have a problem with the widget "Text ticker". I tried to put more then one text ticker on my site, but it doesn't work, when I look in Muse it looks like this:
    and when I look in the preview only the first text ticker works...maybe it is not possible to have more then one text ticker on one site?
    Thank you.

    It seems you are using the same name for all the ticker instances on page.
    You need to have unique names for each of the ticker you want on a single page. Tickers with duplicate names will not work.
    Cheers,
