Remove the opaque gray background of Sidebar

The sidebar's gadgets that work fine however the bottom panel is grey and I want to remove it but there is no option that I can find anyway.

Hello

This is the case when you are not using the aero theme (windows vista). Change this in the area of the Control Panel/customize/Themes. If it is not available, you will need to restart the service themes (start/search, type services.msc and hit , scroll down to themes, click on start/restart option in the left column).

  • Remove the dark grey background topic

    Hello:

    Recently, I captured a whim of a subject.  A woman with blond hair wearing a black jacket.  Initially, she was going well with the dark gray background and subsequently had doubts.  She asked if I could change the background to a lighter color.

    I'm new to PS and I have a lot to learn.  Is it possible for me to remove the background?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'm not an expert by any means, so there might be a method easier or better, that I don't know.

    The best option I have found is using the color range (select > color range) on black background to select all similar black, then deselect parts you do not want to be cut/eased with the cropping lasso tool. Then you will be left with a fairly accurate harvest of just him.

    Here is what it seems that after I've played with him for a minute, with little patience you can do much better.

  • Having difficulty using the quick selection tools to remove the images of background form. Any help appreciated

    Hi all

    I try to remove the background from images using 3 different selection tools.  I'm going fine, but eventually the images together ceases to be caught than ever the tool I use.  It is easier if you use a pro version of photoshop and not all versions of elements?  I have 11 items.

    Thank you

    You are welcome. If this does not work for you, consider using a mask. The goal is to preserve the foreground and hide/remove the background...

  • How can I remove the photoshop background by default so that I can see my desktop?

    How remove the default photoshop "background" (don't know what Adobe calls) so that I can see my desktop? Let me explain. When I open photoshop, it takes up my entire screen. I don't like it. I have to minimize the background to be able to see my office. I took for fixed the menus on the left, top and right and minimizing the background, but every time I open a photoshop file, the background reappears as a cover on my desk, so I have to keep to a minimum the bottom once again. Photoshop guess I should be focusing on a single file at a time and only this file, when in the real world, I jump to a file in a file, several times having photoshop multiple files open at the same time, not to mention other open files as well as a browser too. There MUST be a default setting to open photoshop without the distracting background, but I have not yet found. Can you please help? Thank you. stem

    I use Illustrator cs6. I would like to change the dark gray background that surrounds the jury of art at a step and repeat the reasons for our logo. We use screenshots as a means of producing evidence low resolution. Seen our step and repeat model logo as background would include easily in our trials of low screen resolution.

    At the same time, the clock in the taskbar is the same way - white letters on a gray background - very difficult to read.

    b. type rstrui and then press enter.

    c. perform the restore the system to a restore point before the problem started and check if it helps.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  • Remove the video color gradient background - need help

    Hi all

    I turned my son play the violin on a white background today and what was white pure didn't turn out to be very white, I have gray

    areas, out of white areas because of the poor lighting.

    I want the background to be whiter and more even than it is right now.

    I thought of the video from track 1 to track 2.

    I added a title, which consists of a big white box (using the tool of retangular I just drew a large white retangle which covers the surface of entire movie)

    Now to remove some of this background white, I thought I would try some of the tools below to remove the real backdrop and let the white retangle

    track 1 come through. (so that the pure white comes through track 1).

    I was going through the different options.

    -Chroma Key

    -Color key

    -Color change

    -Change color

    After 30 minutes of autour fldding, I thought I would just stop and ask for help.  How would you proceed with this?

    What process would you use?

    I'm just puzzled as to which tool is best suited for a job like this, because for now, my results are not to my taste and it is difficult to get something

    It looks well at all.

    Thanks for any help,

    Dave.

    Dave,

    If you happen to have the Ultra CS3, this would be my first choice. Following would be Keylight in AE. If you do not, you can try to remove a part of the background with a transparent cache and try to key in PR remains with chroma keying.

  • Remove the extraneous information in the bookmarks sidebar

    Is attached a screenshot of Mozilla Firefox 42 on my Windows 7 PC. I like having the bookmarks bar, but want to remove the foreign text following at the top of the sidebar:

    1. the word "Bookmarks" immediately under the top left of the sidebar bookmarks bar
    2. the word "Seek" and next to it search engine
    3. the words "Personal bar" in the search window. (Even if I hold the toolbar of bookmarks with links to those sites that I visit often to be visible. I just useless the 'personal bar' on the box.)

    Please look at the picture before you answer. This will make clear what I'm trying to delete.

    Any tips? Thanks for your help.

    You can hide the line with the tag of Favorites and the close icon and the search by the userChrome.css code bar, but you can't hide the bookmarks toolbar because this entire content consists of a single treechildren element.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    #sidebar-header, #search-box { display:none!important; }
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file
  • It is difficult to see how to change the color of the scrollbar in gray on gray background?

    It is difficult to see how to change the color of the scrollbar in gray on gray background?

    I think you should probably use an extension or theme to replace the default colors.

    If you are not interested in all the changes that might come with a new theme, is the next extension compatible with Linux?

  • Changing color to a dark gray background by default, do not see the buttons in gmail.

    White pages shiny most of web sites hurt my eyes and I really enjoy making pages a gray color.
    After you change the preferences/content/color/background to a dark gray, I really like how everything seems particularly search pages, google calendar, gmail, etc..

    The problem is that many buttons have disappeared. These buttons are icons that I believe so I don't understand why the color of background them would disappear.

    inspection of a gmail button that is now just an outline with no text or icon as follows:

    so I think that the problem lies in the fact that many icons and graphics using transparency and which maybe why they can't return when I force a background dark using FireFox preferences for color.

    I found a good solution = Color Transfrom of Peter Sloetjes, UPDATE "colorific" it's even better and, from the same developer.

    This extension is somehow able to give me the color controls AND rendered graphic correctly!

    See you soon!

  • Why is there suddenly a background pattern on my new page tabs instead of the default gray?

    A few days ago a patterned background suddenly appeared on my new tab page, making it very difficult to read. I have not add no matter what background and, as far as I know, I don't have any add-ons that would add a. I hate it and he returned to gray, but do not find a way to get rid of it. The only options I can find online offers to download an add-on and adding a new background, but I want to just the default gray.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
