I have a layout in FM14 that uses a custom theme. There is a portal which displays as desired, with solid color background.. When I view the file in FM Go 14, the Portal Rows have a gradient background (see screen captures attached). If I use a theme that's included with FM there is no problem. Does anyone know deets about what causes this or how I can correct it? I can't find anything online about this and it's driving me crazy. I spent ages getting all my layouts looking the way I want them, and the thought of having to recreate all of them is disheartening to say the least. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Sky! That was driving me crazy. Much appreciated.

I have a file that displays thumbnail images in a grid (7 portals wide x 4 records). This displays the first 28 images that meet the portal criteria. In some cases there are more than 28 images that fit the criteria... and I'm hoping that I can use slide controls to allow the user (on FM GO) to swipe to the second slide control panel to see the NEXT 28 images that meet the portal criteria, etc. I pasted my "7 column" portal in the first panel of the slide control. (each of the 7 are the same portal, but starting at a different record number - ie. first column starts at record 1 and displays 4 records, the next columns start at record 5, 9, 13, etc.) My strategy was to duplicate the slide control panel, and make the first column on the Second Panel start on record 29 etc, such that the second panel would display the NEXT 28 records. My problem is that when I paste my portals into the FIRST slide control panel, they also automatically appear in the subsequent panels. That would be fine if I could change the "start portal at Record # X" in the other panels... but any change I make to ANY of the portals is reflected in the other panels... If I add just text / shapes etc to slide controls, they work fine. ie. a Square and some text in Panel 1, a Circle and some text in panel 2, and the slide control works exactly as advertised. Any ideas as to why portals in a slide control would behave like this?? I bought FM 13 expressly for this purpose :-(

Thanks for the tip..worked like a charm!

Hi Everyone, First post here. (FM 5.5) I have a portal on a layout for 'Tasks'. I have a script to create a new task, which performs an external script in the Task file "Create Task" and the script is supposed to end up in the portal, with the new record having a task name of "Untitled Task". My intention is to have the new task selected so that the user will know that they have to add a name for the new task. My script is not highlighting the new task. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My strategy so far has been to set a global in the main file and then use "set field" and "select/perform" Perform Script[subscripts, External: Tasks.fp5 Set Field ["sg_Selected.Task.ID","{Tasks}Constant1::sg_Task.ID.Temp"] Go to Field[select/perform,"{Tasks}Selected.Task::Task.Name"]
