X11 title bar buttons look strange in Snow Leopard

I just used X11 for the first time on my newish iMac with Snow Leopard (upgraded from Leopard with CPU disc that came bundled with computer.)
The red, yellow, and green buttons in the xterm window's title bar look odd. The red one looks fine, but behind the yellow button is the edge of a grey button that is offset maybe 2 pixels to the right. Behind the green button is the same grey button underneath but offset even further to the right, maybe 4 pixels.
It gives the effect of the OS X window buttons being superimposed over the top of some other buttons. I don't know if that is really what's happening. The buttons work fine, it's just a minor visual glitch that is subtly annoying. Anyone else noticed this?

  • Title bar buttons have no color...why?

    I have only seen colored buttions in the title bar a handful of times on my iMac since i bought it new. I have searched forums and the web and no anser I can find anywhere.
    Does anyone on here have any idea why this would happen? Could it possibly be tied in with the gray screen I get when booting up? I had this issue both before and after I had to swap my internal drive out.
    Thanks.
    Shawn

    I'm doing this from memory, so bear with me.
    Go to the Apple Menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
    Click on it and select "System Preferences..."
    Click on the "General" icon.
    At the top of the General Pane should be "Appearance:".
    Make certain Appearance is set to "Blue" and not "Graphite".

  • Titles not working, Exports lag with Snow Leopard Update. PLEASE HELP!

    I just installed Snow Leopard yesterday and it installed very cleanly. Afterwards, I went and opened up iMovie '09 and everything was working smoothly except for the titles. In both the preview box and the projects, all the titles and effects were either all black, or had black boxes all around them. Also, when trying to export a video to Youtube regarding my problem, I looked at the video and for the first time ever, the audio and video were not in sync. Is this Snow Leopard's fault? I have tried everything I can think of but nothing is solving either problem. If ANYBODY can help with either problem PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out! Also, if anybody is experiencing the same problem, please let me know. Thank you very very much.

    I'm having the same problem. In addition to the titles doing the exact same thing you described, the titles in the globe/map also have a black box, and some of the transitions don't work properly. I called Apple Care last Friday, and spoke to 2 people. We were not able to resolve my issue. I tried deleting and reinstalling iMovie, removing the preferences, reinstalling snow leopard, creating another user account, and a bunch of other stuff. I did receive a case number, so as soon as I find out more information I can let you know. I am not having any problems on my other computer, so I guess it's a computer specific problem.

  • Epson Print CD  print button Gary out / W, snow leopard - please help.

    please help. after download snow leopard epson print CD is not working. i deleted all epson software from my application and download new epson software from their website. 10.6 and i was trying to use epson print cd ver2.0 and print button is gray, so i can't able to print cd... i restarted my computer. and i did update print information from epson print cd. is there way i can use this new epson print cd with my snow leopard? anybody out there have some information? thank you very much!

    Hi
    I had the same problem with my MB Pro and an Epson Stylus Photo PX700W printer after upgrading to snow leopard.
    I got onto Epson tech support and was advised to do the following (which worked by the way!)
    1) Delete the Epson printer from the "Print & Fax" utility in the "System Preferences"
    To do this, open "Print & Fax" and choose the epson printer in the left hand pane under "printers".
    Then hit delete
    2) Go to the Epson support site and download the latest drivers for your printer
    URL = http://www.epson.co.uk/support
    3) Enter your printer type and on the following page choose "drivers and software"
    4) I personally downloaded the driver plus the Print CD application although I believe it may have been the same version as the one I already had installed.
    5) Once the driver package is downloaded use the installer and install as normal
    6) Once installed go back into "Print & Fax" and choose the + button under the printer left hand pane to choose a new printer.
    In my case the printer was found on wifi using bonjour and I just chose it
    7) launch the "Print CD" app and try to print
    In my case all the options that had been greyed out had returned and I was once most able to print to CD/DVDs
    I hope this helps

  • Missing radio buttons in Safari 4 / Snow Leopard

    I'm a Moderator/Jr. Admin on a forum and just noticed since upgrading last night to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 that I no longer see radio buttons on my drop down options list (Safari 4.0.3). Screen capture can be seen at: http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i152/imacpwr/EFcapture001small.jpg
    There are suppose to be radio buttons to the left of each option but they are missing! I'm seeing this problem only on my Mac Pro. My Mac Book Air has the same version of OS X and Safari but not the problem.
    I thought I'd try and re-install Safari so I downloaded the file and started the install. The installer then informs me that I need OS X 10.5.8 or newer to install.
    Huh ? ? ?
    Anyone got any ideas how to get the radio buttons working again?
    Message was edited by: imacpaul

    Yes, I saw that on the following thread and can confirm it's true, Zooming (enlarging) the page causes the radio buttons to drop out. Very annoying in my situation since I have 3-23" monitors and regularly use 4 virtual desktops as a forum moderator. I like to enlarge the pages so that I can sit back and clearly read all the monitors at ease.

  • STRANGE ILLUSTRATOR/SNOW LEOPARD ISSUE

    Hey gang, I just got a shiny new 27" iMac and it's awesome. Problem is it's running Snow Leopard (don't think Im ready to take the Lion plunge yet) and when I work on an existing CS5 file it constantly gives me  "can not complete the filter because of an unexpected error" message. It gives me that message when I'm try to group something, click off of something, select something...all the time! It's highly annoying.
    Any ideas how I can remedy this isue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried all the steps mentioned here?

  • Radio Buttons MIssing in Safari/Snow Leopard

    I've come across a number of pages where radio buttons are simply missing... opened it in Firefox to double check and they are there. What's up with that?

    same issue here... Definitely Safari on Snow only issue. I'm running 10.6.1 (32 Bit Mode, Universal Access = Off). Have cross tested with Safari 4.0.3 on winXP and Firefox 3 on 10.6.1 (both work fine)
    Issue seen with sites.google.com and http://discussions.apple.com/editwatches!default.jspa - radio buttons don't render.
    Seems to be specific use of radios. On a given page some display and others don't - the broken ones all appear to be in tages that include jscript use.
    E.g. this works:
    <label>
    <input id="pageLocTopLevelPath" name="pageLoc" type="radio" value="" checked="true" />
    Put page at the top level
    </label>
    this doesn't:
    Select a template to use
    <input type="radio" name="pagetype" checked="true" id="text" /><label for="text">Web Page</label>
    <input type="radio" name="pagetype" id="dashboard" /><label for="dashboard">Dashboard</label>
    <input type="radio" name="pagetype" id="announcements" /><label for="announcements">Announcements</label>
    <input type="radio" name="pagetype" id="filecabinet" /><label for="filecabinet">File Cabinet</label>
    <input type="radio" name="pagetype" id="list" /><label for="list">List</label>

  • Send button grayed out after Snow Leopard

    Install was successful. I followed the instructions for changes to mail to enable sending and receiving. Did tests on all mail accounts and mail sent. Now, when I go to new message, the send button is grayed out and I can't proceed. Anyone have a fix?

    Ernie,
    Not sure what happened as everything tested just fine after installation. But I did go back into preferences to find that the outgoing SMTP had switched to "none." I changed that and it now works. Thank you for your help.

  • Can't remove new pop-up title bar on background windows

    Firefox accidentally updated somehow while I was away & now I have a popup title bar appearing on background windows (as in my dual monitor) that covers my data until I make that window active.
    I don't know what it's called, so can't term-search it.
    Can't find any references to it.
    It's driving me insane & I'm clueless for once.
    I don't like that.

  • Colors not consistent with Snow Leopard 10.6 on an Eizo SX2761W monitor

    I am unable to get any color consistency with Snow Leopard 10.6 on my Eizo SX2761W display.
    Most of the actual "content" (i.e. images, videos, websites, etc.) is displayed very saturated and dark, much more saturated and dark than in 10.5.8. I presume that's because of Snow Leopard's new gamma value. The problem is, all of OS X's GUI elements, like the dock, icons and color labels in the finder, title bar buttons, etc. are not displayed in the same manner. These elements are all very desaturated, pale and grayish. NoMachine NX sessions running in X11 (via Rosetta) also have this desaturated look in Snow Leopard.
    Here's a screenshot comparison I put together, that shows those color inconsistencies using the example of Mozilla's Firefox logo on the web in Safari, on the web in an NX session and as an icon in the Finder and in the Dock:
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/7276/SnowLeopard-ColorsAndContrast.png (1 MB)
    As far as I could test it, I get these color/contrast discrepancies only on the Eizo SX2761W monitor. I checked this on a classic Mac Pro and a late Mac mini with the same results. On a MacBook and its internal display Snow Leopard's colors seem consistent.
    I tried to recalibrate the SX2761W profile, I tried out all the other standard color profiles available in Snow Leopard, I tried to copy my old profiles over from a Leopard backup, but I was unable to get rid of the display inconsistencies. After a whole day of trying and tinkering I went back to 10.5.8 to get a consistent color environment back.
    Any ideas what's causing this and more importantly what to do about it? I have to say I'm at my wits end. The only thing I can think of is mailing this issue to Apple in the hope there will be a point release in the not too distant future that fixes the problem.

    I have what I assume is the same problem. It just started today on my DELL WFP2407 - but remains even when switching to my MacBook Pro's built in screen.
    The Dock, Safari, the desktop background - and probably other colour managed applications; all show very pale blue hues with over saturated red. Blue goes towards purple and other colours get muddled and pale. Oddly the Finder displays colours correctly on icons, but not the dock. I took a screenshot of Finder's Safari icon next to The Dock's:
    http://www.nuxx.dk/hosting/paledock.png
    - Clearly showing significant inconsistency... I just updated to 10.6.1 which didn't change anything.
    Needless to say I tried calibrating a new colour profile to no effect, and seeing as the finder itself renders things just fine I'm not sure that's where the issue lies.
    This is a huge problem for me, I hope there is a simple solution.

  • If I would update Snow Leopard to Mavericks, would I have this?

    Hello, everybody!
    As I got no real experience comments from people who updated Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on a MacBook White Unibody, on this discussion, now I'm trying to be more concise, and ask you for more specific questions on the matter.
    So, if I would updated to Mavericks, Would I have…?
    VoiceOver Voices in different languages, as they come from factory since Lion, or stayed just with the English ones I have now?
    Full Screen capability of all apps at the same time? Now, it's like my PC has only one "Full Screen", so, when you open one app on Full Screen, all the others go to windows.
    The newest versions of iLife, iWork, Photo Booth, Stickies…? Now, I have Garage Band 6.0.5, iPhoto 9.2.3, iMovie 9.0.4; iWork 9.1, Photo Booth 3.0.3, Stickies 7.0
    iChat, iWeb, iDVD, Front Row, X11… as I have now, or would them be erased or changed for other apps? Or I would not  be capable for running them, as the Power PC apps I have and can run now?
    Chess app in Spanish too, as it comes from factory since Lion, or it still remains only in English, as now?
    Spanish dictionary on Disctionary app? Now I only have English and Tesaurus on my Mac, and the capability of searching on wikipedia on internet from the app?
    Timer Coalescing, App Nap, Compressed Memory, GateKeeper, app's sandboxing, Automatic Versions… or any of those is not allowed on my MacBook White unibody?
    The ability to see the complete miniature windows opened on the same desk as easy as sliding up four fingers on the trackpad (as I can see now the ones opened on the same "Space")?
    To update my RAM? Now I have 2 Gb, and I saw it is exactly the requirment of Mavericks. I'm not sure which was the requirement of Snow Leopard, which actually runs pretty fine.
    This is enough now for helping me to take or not the decission. Thank you all.

    app nap - appears to work with Mavericks according to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/advanced-technologies/
    I've been looking for it again. You say App Nap would work on my macbook white, it seems it wouldn't, according to:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Power Nap
    Supported by the following Mac models:
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook Pro with Retina display
    iMac (Late 2012 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    Mac mini (Late 2012)
    At least, one question less :-). I'm not quite as sure with all  the rest of new odd and eds…
    PPC apps haven't been supported since Lion was introduced (2011).
    Your iLife will be updated;
    iWeb has been discontinued. So has iDVD, but if you have it installed, it still works. Front Row was discontinued. No idea about X11.
    PowerPC applications are supported on Snow Leopard, my actual OS. As apple does not mention anything about on http://www.apple.com/osx/http://www.apple.com/osx/advanced-technologies/, I can easily guess that same thing could happen with other apps, like FrontRaw, iWeb or the others apps I mentioned. For me, it sounds strange that apple offers its best ultimate OS just for free. I think there's something hidden for user like me, with Snow Leopard., for instance, not to update Voice over Voices, PhotoBooth or anything else…
    I'd like to be completely sure of what i'd have, for example if I'd have spanish dictionary and VoiceOver voices before updating. If not, probably it does worth to do so.
    Sorry, but how do you propose having more than one app at full screen at a time?
    By means of something we call SPACES on Snow Leopard, and you called MISSION CONTROL, if I'm not wrong, on Lion and upper. You can switch among different desks running every one a different app on FullScreen, can't you?
    By the way, which OS did your macbook pro come with from factory? the one that is running mavericks now.

  • Migration of files from Snow Leopard Mac to Mavericks Mac

    Ethernet cable connection.
    Mavericks Mac.
    The window: Select the information to transfer - Choose which information you'd like to to transfer to this Mac.
    "Checking "My Name" computer", which is the Snow Leopard Mac

    Snow Leopard Mac.
    The Migration Assistant window: Connect to the other Mac.
    "Looking for other computers".
    Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
    Now my question is, has the Mavericks Mac made a successful connection to the Snow Leopard Mac and because of the 300/350GB of files on it, the Mavericks Mac is taking a long time locating the files that would be transferable? If so, how long should "Checking "My Name" computer" take before I will be able to select what I wish to transfer? And how long would it take to transfer 300/350GB via ethernet cable connection?

    Ended up making a connection via Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
    Restarted SL Mac in target disk mode.
    Had to restart Mav Mac and after a bit of fiddling around, a connection was finally made. Info is now being transferred from the SL Mac to the Mav Mac.
    Three to four hours to go.

  • Upgrade From Snow Leopard Desktop to Snow Leopard Server

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro and it's running great! I upgraded it from 10.5 and it worked just fine for me. I was looking at the Snow Leopard Server and all the features it offers for the other Macs on my home network. My question is this: Can I install Snow Leopard Server on my Mac Pro without having to do a clean install? I have everything set up perfectly and I really don't want to have to reconfigure everything.
    My other question is, besides the server software, is there any difference between the server and desktop versions? More specifically, am I still going to be able to use my audio creation/editing software and play the few games I have? Does the server strip out any functionality or is it exactly the same thing as the desktop version, but with added server tools?
    Thanks in advance for your input!

    1. No, you cannot upgrade from Client to Server. You will need to erase and install.
    2. Generally, you can do the same things. It isn't exactly the same, even ignoring the server tools. Are there some things that won't work? Maybe. Namely because developers don't typically code with MOSXS in mind.
    My question to you is this: What do you want from MOSXS that you cannot do with the Mac OS Client? And are you set on using it on your Mac Pro?
    I ask because:
    1. Client does most of the thing people want to do that are "server" like.
    2. It isn't a good idea to mix server and production environments. OS X Server is typically easy to setup for basic operation, however, there will be issues and you will have to dig a little to get things working. Which means you will stopping and starting services, issuing terminal commands, modifying plists and .confs and rebooting. Sometimes it goes so wrong that you have to reinstall.
    This is why if you are serious about a server, you should really consider a separate machine. The Mac Mini is a great option for a light duty server.
    Also, carefully consider your needs. Can the things you want to do be accomplished with OS X Client and maybe a few web services. Not trying to sway you either way, but it isn't always as simple as "Click the Start button and the service is working."

  • How to Downgrade to Snow Leopard from Retail disk

    Hi there
    We have a new iMac at work bought through Apple's refurb site. It is running the latest version of Lion with all firmware updates, etc. It is replacing a G5 running Tiger.
    The problem is this – it is supposed to be running Adobe CS5, but also CS4 (and Office would be handly also)
    We have other macs here, some running Leopard, some Snow Leopard, but the Adobe apps are not happy at all in Lion, and InDesign CS4 crashes all the time and won't even print without jumping through a million hoops (obviously the Office 2004 app won't run at all).
    Due to the level of issues we are having with Lion (and the reliability of the all the software under Snow Leopard) I am looking to downgrade to Snow Leopard.
    I have a full retail version of Snow Leopard (10.6.3), but the Lion system won't boot from the disk, it just gets to the grey screen, and beeps three times. I presume this means that there isn't the required drivers on the disk to run the hardware, or there's a firmware update that doesn't allow installation.
    Am i totally stuck with this OS? I was looking to install Snow Leopard on a partiton, but when i run the install disk from the Lion desktop, it reports that I can't run it because 'I have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1.'
    I would really like to just have Snow Leopard on my iMac, or failing that, Lion on a small partition, and Snow Leopard and all the programs on the larger partition that I would boot from.
    Any ideas how I can get this done? Adobe CS suite is just rubbish on Lion macs, and runs worse than on my old Tiger mac.
    Thanks in advance,
    M.

    oh right - so clone Mac B onto Mac A HD in taget disk mode using SuperDuper (or Carbon Copy Cloner), then i'll be able to boot Mac A in SL.
    I understand that Mac A wouldn't boot, I was going to make Mac A's SL partition the start-up partition for Mac B, and then try and install OS updates to 10.6.8 from Mac B. Once updates are installed - change Mac B's startup disk back, and then surely Mac A would be able to boot all on it's own...
    I'm not sure if this would work in Target Disk Mode, but if you succeed in cloning Mac B to Mac A, you may be able to apply the Combo 10.6.8 update to Mac A while booting from Mac B. The key is that the Combo updater may be able to customize the Snow Leopard installation for the hardware it's actually being applied to. Unless I missed it, we don't really know which iMac you have since it's a refurb. According to Mactracker, only the Late 2011 21.5" comes only with Lion and might not accept Snow Leopard at all. At the same time, it has the same Model Identifier as the Mid 2011, which came with 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 so it might work.
    If at that point Mac A does boot in Snow Leopard, I'd advise running the 10.6.8 Combo updater again while booting from Mac A just to be safe.

Maybe you are looking for
