Yellow box around alternative shape script image
« on: March 21, 2014, 10:07:27 am »
Hi there, I'm using shape script to create an alternative image for an element.  The odd thing is I get a yellow box around the shadow.  I don't see this in Shapescript editor or when I turn the shadow of.

Does anyone have an idea of how to stop this happening?

It's maybe a status color? Check Tools/Options/Objects/Show status colors

It does appear to be a status colour, but I don't have show status colours on.  So something is triggering it to display when the shadow is drawn.  

Maybe this is a bug?

Is the yellow box the shadow itself, or around the shadow? I ask only to establish what the box ISN'T. On Tools | Options | Diagram | Standard Colors, what have you set the Shadows color to? And does your shape script redefine that color?

Perhaps send the shape script in to Sparx Support?

It's easy to tell if it's a status colour: change the status and see if the colour changes. I believe "Proposed" is yellow by default; try "Validated" which is green.

Other possibilities: you have set the border colour to yellow; your shape script sets the pen colour to yellow; the yellow border is actually the element's selection indicator; your shape script applies an alternative image that has a yellow border; the graphics card on your computer is broken; ...

Hi guys.  Yes it does seem the status colour.  I can make it change.  I've sent the shape script and a picture to Sparx support.
