Hi,
i have this annoying problem where some gadgets are not displayed properly.
there is an ugly pink outline around them, screenshot attached:
(im not using any special theme or anything,. just a default win 7 theme)
Hmm this is a major possibility, cause when I was making a custom clock I left the BG a bit transparent well in the end the clock hands were surrounded by that same purple, so go ahead and check the bg image in photoshop or something and if it is transparent then try to add a similar color but at 100% opacity and see if that works it should.
Thanks,
Kukag
p.s -if you want me to do it just post the png or psd here and I'll see what I can do.
If there was something wrong with the background within inside the gadget then everyone that is using it would have the same pink coloured border. I'm not experiencing such issue so my guess is that the problem lies elsewere. It should look good right 'out-of-the-box'. Or maybe I didn't get your point...
PS:
Avishking, this may sound silly, or out of the topic, but are you using UAC, or have you disabled it? There is a possibility that the gadget needs admin priviliges to run correctly... but that's a wild guess...since you said that this is not the only gadget that has this issue...
I get the same pink outline with certain gadgets and I think it is my graphics drivers since I have to use older ATI Cats since my x1900xt is now considered legacy hardware and is not being supported by any new drivers by ATI....I can live with the problem for the time being since I will be getting a new graphics card toward the end of the month anyway
I use the latest ATI drivers, 9.9 ... but both of us having ATI cards might have something to do with it, maybe some a drivers conflict with? i will try removing them and re-installing
I think it has to do with IE8, believe it or not, as all was fine with my gadgets in Vista before I upgraded, and when I upgraded to IE8, I got an white, pink"offset" effect on the calendar, with a white edge also on my ram/cpu gauge, with the gauge freezing up after about 10 minutes after system start up. I called Microsoft, as it was a beta version, and they said yes they had others give them feedback to, that some of the gadgets were acting a little goofy. I guess nothings totally resolved this, as the image below was taken today. I take it you have IE8 installed?
