Xcompgr + urxvt with true transparency no shadows around the window
hello!
i have a big problem. i want a terminal with real transparency. making a other terminal transparent with transset is bad, because it makes the whole window transparent, also the borders!
so i decided to try urxvt. i start urxvt with the following command:
urxvt -fn "xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11" +sb -depth 32 -fg white -bg rgba:2000/2000/2000/dddd
it works, the terminal has real transparency, but it has no shadows around the window/terminal. when i start urxvt with a depth of 24, there are shadows but no transparency!
i'm running e17 with xcompmgr and the following settings:
xcompmgr -c -f -r4 -t-3 -l-3 -D5 -o 0.7 -d :0.0&
is there someone who can help me? i hope it!

Actually I do and I have no shadows either - but I wasn't even aware of this issue until you pointed it out.
But I like it without shadow, using OpenBox here.

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

When I start up my screen will rapidly shrink to a smaller size with a blue border around the window. It rapidly goes from full screen to this smaller screen with the blue border and back again. It seems to be affected by the use of the mouse. My mouse was old so I bought a new one....didn't help. When I have to tabs or two applications open they seperate, shrink, and appear simultaniously on the screen. This just started happening.
Put in the correct password.

I have problems when using the camera on my iPhone 4S (the same for my daughter with a iPhone4)
A veil around the blurred photo, a development impossible and completely unable to read the bar code or QR code. What to do?Sounds kind of stupid, but check to make sure that your iphone case cover is not blocking the edge of the camera lens. I had a silicone case on my 3S and when it got older, it started tot slip and the edges of my pictures were blurred.

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge
I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments -
I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

I jus got a MacBook pro and Im having trouble connecting to my schools network. It is not secured and only requires to login with school id. A Window pops up to sign in but it never loads anyone know why I'm having this problem? Doesn't have a problem connecting to any other wifi
"This is a flaw in OS X Lion. It does not want to connect to open WiFi that has a login page that open in a browser."
Nonsense, no problems logging in at sites that you mention. I use OpenDNS servers. For the OP try:
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS. In the left side column click on the + sign and insert the following:

Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for the Windows XP PC
Just got it today, so I could make my own video and audio files from pre-existing ones. I first used a version of Adobe Premiere back in school in the '90s, and seemed to easily make them there, while not working on school work. There was a row for inserted video, and a row below that for inserted audio. I'm out of college currently, and just bought Elements 9, as said, but am struggling with it. Could someone please tutor me to get me started? Perhaps even talk over the phone? I'm trying to combine different video and audio tracks into a new singular video/audio file.
Thanks in advance.
>>
Welcome to the forum, but unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Pro, CS 4 and Earlier forum.
Instead, you should post to the PrElements Forum, as few here will know anything about PrE 9.
Now, the starting secret of PrE is your Source Files. Can you tell us the full details of those?
Next, matching those to the correct Project Preset, is the next step. Can you tell us what you chose at New Project?
For a list of some of the resources for learning PrE, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

What are Source Files? You mean the videos I'm using? The main one is here:
http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/videoclips/bones.php
Two to four additions to it will be used with video parts from here:
http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/videoclips/us_commercials.php
And my first project is a .prel file. Is that what you meant?
Is it possible I could get assistance over the phone?
Thanks.I created a more precise list of what I wish to combine to make one new video program:

Not sure if I can get all of these videos in, in the 33 second time limit. I'm willing to cut either the trypt.mpg clip, and/or the youtube link-clip below it.
I have a youtube downloader program, so no worries there. Also need to know how to cut video so I can make these clips that are from youtube and tfarchive.
I also want the video to contain the same quality as shown from each file here, and all fit the size of the largest file (the youtube one, I think it is).
Please LMK how to do this, and if any of this is unclear. Things like this are all I really want to use APE9 for, so I won't be asking much else here.
Thanks. -
[Solved] True transparency possible in rxvt-unicode...?
I'm just wondering if it's even possible to run urxvt with true transparency, without adding command line arguments. I've tried urxvt*depth:32 and urxvt*bg:rgba:1000/1000/1000/cccc in .Xdefaults, and several permutations of scripts/hints found on the web, to no avail. urxvt -bg rgba:1000/1000/1000/cccc works as it should. Is there something obvious I'm missing, or is it just not an option?
Oops, if I had only read it before posting it... that should be urxvt*background, not urxvt*bg. Somewhere during my fiddling I changed that to match the command-line syntax just on the off chance. It didn't change anything when I first edited it, but apparently I've hit the magic config now. Never mind
Last edited by Trent (2009-09-19 01:09:18)Here's the relevant part:
urxvt*depth:32
urxvt*foreground:#B0B0B0

Using Sparkle build in on object with 0% transparency
I am trying to use the 'Sparkle' build in on an image (and I have also tried with text) with 0% transparency, so that only the effect is visible. I have done this in the past in a previous Keynote version. The issue I am having is that the image shows up not transparent once the build is finished. Any thoughts on what I can do to resolve this? My work around so far is to add 'Disappear' build out after the build in is complete.
Thanks!Use a coloured background
place a shape on the slide and remove any shadow and use any fill colour
Reduce the opacity to a value of 0 -
Desktop AIR 2.5 application with transparency and embedded Flash with wmode transparency error
I'm working on a desktop AIR project using the 2.5 SDK (ADT) to create an application that combines html and flash content. My application is using systemChrome none and transparent true. I have an swf element in my html file that I have set to wmode transparent. Instead of the swf rendering with a transparent background and showing the desktop like the html content does, I'm seeing a black box that fills the area where the Flash element is embedded.
Can someone please assist me in removing this black square so that my flash content is rendered within the html file with a transparent background instead of a black background?
When the AIR application is set to transparent, the Flash content must have it's wmode set to either transparent or opaque. Opaque gives it a white background (the stage background color), but transparent seems to just give it a black background.
Thanks!Ok fellas,
It appears that I have indeed answered my own question. So thanks... uh, me As I've now figured out, the entire AIR application is basically still a Flash based Display Object, one that can render html using webkit. That means that even though my main application is written in HTML I can still load swf files into the display list of the root applications native window using the Loader class.
I had mentioned earlier that this didn't work, but actually it did work I was just having an error. In my flash file I had a reference error because I was referencing stage.stageWidth in actionscript. This produces a typeError in the AIR runtime when I add this to the root display list. I was able to finally see this error by add the -nodebug command to my adl testing script (adl app.xml -nodebug). For whatever reason my AIR 2.5 adl would not produce air.trace calls to the cmd console without that -nodebug command, which is extremely ironic. So adding in the -nodebug command actually gave me my debug traces! Welcome to the world we live in folks... I also found out that my traces in the swf also trace out to the console when you add this command in there.
In addition, the reason I was not able to get the Loader class to work from javascript was because I was not using the correct addEventListener call. If you are familiar with Actionscript 3.0 (which luckily I am) you will recall that you have to add the event listener to the "contentLoaderInfo" object of the Loader variable you instanciate.
Here's a snippet of how I was able to do this as well as another link that is buried in the documentation that's useful:
var loader;
loader = new air.Loader();
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.swf");
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
loader.load( new air.URLRequest(file.url) );
function swfLoaded(evt) {
air.trace(" SWF LOADED! Woohoo! ");
air.trace( loader.numChildren );
loader.width = 1000;
loader.height = 800;
loader.x = 0;
loader.y = 0;
window.nativeWindow.stage.addChild(loader);
This is a very useful article on creating nativeWindows and other things, such as creating Flash based display objects and adding them to the stage:

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers
Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!
