For Max5

Somehow or another-my patcher when locked keeps changing colors from gray to black when locked, it slowly animates this shift which is quite annoying.

I went through preferences, and and various options and can’t figure it out. I went through the tutorials-didn’t see anything on this either. I’m not sure where this option is at (the search field in max help is not the best)-or even how I got this (though the first time I saw it was with an mxj help-object. I even copy-pasted all material into a new patch-then saved/re-opened and wallah-the same thing happened.

I am figuring this is something simple-so please, help. The patch is pasted below-though I am not sure if the animated colors will come through. [fuy: the patch is a mess, and in progress]

Thanks

Then, if you want to set the background color to something nicer than gray, edit the patch, open the patcher inspector (via the contextual menu for instance) and select a color.

But do you (or anyone) know why the mxj help results in fading in and out black? And if so-how to get that….and then how to turn it off?

And the Java code called help.java does exactly what you see: it changes the color of the background.
