Remove Translucent Windows from Leopard

[megacranium]

Hey,

This is gonna sound silly, but i don't really remember what I did for this to happen..all my windows turn translucent, when another window overlaps it...It suddenly started coming..its annoying me like crazy now

how do I get rid of it??

Its an eye sore and it doesn't even look cool

Do you remember if you installed a program called Afloat?

 

[megacranium]

i dont think so man...but u think it would work if i did download it and then used it to change transulcency settings to off?

 

[Peace]

Those icons tell me you installed some kind of haxie.

Look in system preferences for it.

i dont think so..but i have a feeling it was a terminal command..ya think it can be un-done??

I think that is REALLY cool!


I would suggest looking in system preferences, but if it was a terminal command... Hmm well this will sound stupid but do you remember what commands you put into terminal? Tracing your footsteps?


Also do you use a external backup hard drive?

i have the exact same macbook as you do, should it be so hard?

any ideas??

Where did you get the special set of icons ? That's a good place to start looking.

well post a screenshot of your apps and your system preferences ...to see if anyone can determine by that if there was a specific app that caused it.

Yeah, try to do this. I'm almost certain this is an app of some sort.

What was the outcome!??

I'm now having exactly the same problem as megacranium and found this forum thread from google.

I have tried all sorts to repair this! There are no options on system preferences for this, and I haven't installed any new programs.

It seems its a rare problem, megacranium did you get an answer or manage to fix it?

ALL I WANT TO DO IS PUT IT BACK TO NORMAL!

Anybody else any ideas?? Please!

Well if it was a terminal command that did it and you don't remember what it was type this in your terminal:

history | less

then just use the space bar to scroll through your history of commands.

Oh and when you figure it out, let us know...I think it looks cool.
