10.2.4 - Solid Backgrounds not solid anymore??

marz · #1 February 13th, 2003, 08:04 PM

Anyone else notice that their formerly solid background isn't after upgrading to 10.2.4? It's got lines in it now, and they're not pretty!

I thought it might be the display calibration, but that didn't fix it, I can select a picture background and it won't have the lines in it, but solid backgrounds are ugly now

Mine's not striped. Do you have some system hack that might not be working correctly anymore or something?

I don't have any hacks installed, that I know of at least

Well, I can live without using a solid background for a while I'm sure ... Nice desktop jeb1138

No fix yet, but it did disappear for a short time, I rebooted into OS 9, and when I rebooted again to OS X it was gone until I rebooted again and it came back. Can't remember the exact things I did before it disappeared and returned. I gave up on it for now, and downloaded some new images from MacDesktops instead of using the solids until I read about a fix or the next update comes out.

did you check the colour depth of your screen? shouldn't really create stripes, though...

No Problems at all for me!
