Category: win32 Group: 2.0.0 beta 6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: CCCMistiq (cccmistiq) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: All text, menus, and icons becoming invisible. Initial Comment: I am using Windows XP Professional and I recently switched to the 2.0.0 beta 6 version of GAIM when my problem started happening in the 1.5.0 version (I was worried about whether I'd lose my settings and log files & delaying my switch to a beta version). After several minutes of use all the text, menus, and icons become invisible. If I remember where they are, I can still use them (such as clicking in the text box on the chat window and typing a message and hitting enter), but I can't SEE anything other than grey outlines of the background. I can see the different shades of grey representing the message window, the text box, and the menu bar (nothing else). Once everything greys out, the only way I can view the messages I've just sent or received is to open the log file of the conversation. The sounds still work for sending an receiving messages. I can temporarily see my text/menus/icons again when I restart GAIM, but after a minute they're invisible again. Things don't go invisible on the buddy list and chat window at the same time, although they eventually both go blank and minimizing and maximizing doesn't fix it. GAIM isn't crashing, it's just becoming very difficult to use. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm s ending/receiving MSN, Yahoo, or AIM messages (or even a combination) when the error occurs. I tried rebooting my computer several times as well as restarting GAIM. I don't know what other information you might need or what else I can try to fix this on my own. I spent about 4 hours skimming through the bugs list here as well as the Users Helping Users forum to see if anyone else had posted a similar problem, but didn't see anything similar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: CCCMistiq (cccmistiq) Date: 2007-03-22 12:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1747853 Originator: YES I should be using whichever theme allows GAIM to match my windows theme (I like the silver one), and I like to use transparency with the variables set to 200. I don't know what windowblinds is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: CCCMistiq (cccmistiq) Date: 2007-03-22 12:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1747853 Originator: YES File Added: buddy-list-blank-and-menu.JPG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: CCCMistiq (cccmistiq) Date: 2007-03-22 12:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1747853 Originator: YES File Added: buddy-list-blank.JPG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-03-20 18:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO Are you using a weird theme or windowblinds or something? Please post a screenshot of the problem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: CCCMistiq (cccmistiq) Date: 2007-03-20 17:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1747853 Originator: YES I installed the newer GTK+ version then rebooted my computer for good measure. Now my problem has changed slightly. Instead of seeing the grey background it turns completely black. I still get the tooltips, can access menus, and type messages if I remember where everything is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-03-20 12:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO Try using this newer GTK+ version: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gtk-runtime-2.10.11-rev-a.exe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1684146&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
