Captivate Tip of the Week - Improving Transparent Text

Monday, March 19th, 2007

From Paul Dewhurst’s site:

One of the Problems Captivate used to have was that if you used transparent captions then the text in the published movie would look blurred, In captivate 2 you can fix this problem and have nice crisp text all you need to do is select #C0C0C0 as the highlight colour and highlight part of the text (you can select just one character) this makes the text in the published movie display nice and crisp and the highlight is transparent

It’s official! The first meeting for the north Texas Captivate User Group will take place on Tuesday, April 17th. We are starting the meeting at 6:30PM and it will wrap up by 8:30PM. Food will be provided along with soft drinks and coffee. We don’t have a topic yet, but it’s coming very soon.

NEC America has graciously agreed to host our meetings. Thank you very much, NEC!

They are lending our group one of the fully-equiped classrooms in their National Training Center. To top it off, their central location (Las Colinas) should be convenient for many Captivate users in the area.

We couldn’t ask for a better meeting location than this!
