Annoying Field Boundaries & White fill on entry

[tvGuy]

Why do thin field boundaries appear when you enter any field for entry? Also fields with a transparent fill become filled with white when you enter any field.

Here's what my portal looks like when nothing is selected:

And here's what it looks like when I click into a cell to enter text:

Please note the fine borders around all fields and the white fill that comes into the fields that should have a transparent background.

Thanks.

In the layout options for that layout, uncheck "Show field frames when record is active."

FYI the particular color that is shown if you do choose to have field frames showing will be the fill color of the layout part on which the fields sit.
