How to remove Slider Background?

Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:04:40 GMT

Hi Guys, (QVW Attached)

I am trying to create flat design for dashboard.

Some how my filter lists looks really ugly.

I have attached screenshot of how they look right now.

What I am trying Achieve?

I want to keep the slider but I don't want the grey background on slider strip.

This is how it looks

I'd suggest toning down the blue.

I find white or near white backgrounds with black text far easier on the eye. It will also make your slider strip appearance far more mellow.

Thank Bill,

I agree with you, the original Background is white. My filters are only visible by a button.

So I have a button called 'Filter'.. when user clicks that button then this blue slider with filters appears. and when you click again then this will disappear.

The reason I have the filter background blue is so it stands out while user click on filter

I have tried all the settings in Presentation, layout and everywhere but nothing is working

This is how it looks in the desktop application

And this is how it looks on the web view

Why the slider border looks like this on Web View ? and how to get read of that little square at the slider corner ?

Thanks

Do you mean you want to eliminate the white background on the slider? Are you using 100% transparency on the Presentation Background?

Yes exactly.. I want to eliminate the white background on the slider. I have 100% transparency on slider colour and background..

As you can see in my comment.. it looks perfect on desktop but it only appears with slider background on webview

It works for me. Can you upload a small qvw that demonstrates the problem?

It seems to ignore and reset the transparency setting for the slider background. You can fix that by using a calculated color for the slider background of:

argb(0,0,0,0)

A vertical white line then shows up, not sure how to get rid of that.

Thanks Rob,

And what could be the reason for those white border lines?
