Gadgets transparency appear as pink when they are over cctv monitoring
So here's my situation:
I built a new PC for monitoring my CCTV cameras (geovision). I added a couple of widgets on it to display weather, time, cpu temp and disk usage. Everything works fine on the desktop and when playing movies. But as soon as i launch the Geovision program, the transparency of the widgets become pink. I use both Windows 7 gadgets and widgets from "xwidget" software. Both have the same problem. Any idea how i can fix this ? I'm on Windows 7 with a fresh install, using onboard Intel HD Graphics. Here's a picture of my screen: ![]() As you can see most of the widgets on screen display correctly, but the ones that are over the CCTV video are messed up. |

Very strange. Are these windows 7 gadgets? You can try a few things:
1.) Under programs and features in control panel, choose turn windows features on or off. Uncheck gadgets and restart. After the reboot, go back and check to install/enable them again. Restart again. Problem fixed? 2.) You could also try a sfc /scan now (use option 2) SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker 3.) Side note: Did you install internet explorer 11 recently? |

what are your DPI settings? That can possibly create the pink. Why only on your CCTV app, I am not sure. You can set it to 100% to confirm, if you are using a custom DPI.

You have a tough one. It only shows pink when there is an active window it seems. Originally these issues were caused by video drivers in Vista I believe. A Guy

It works without any problem in all windows, the problem with the transparency appearing as pink happens only when the gadget is OVER my cctv video.
As you can see on the screenshot i posted, the top widget displays fine (the one showing the weather and temperature) because they are not over an active cctv video But the two on the bottom left are showing pink because they're over the video feed. I think Geovision uses Directdraw to display the cctv video, so it must has something to do with Directdraw Also i made sure that i use the latest drivers of everything in this computer (video, chipset, motherboard, bios, etc) |

That's what I meant by "active video", it does not happen over the Video lost windows, part of the CCTV display as well, no? Not a common issue to be sure. Probably too obscure for the Geovision people to have any discussion? A Guy
