Exactly, we always turned it off in sonar 8.5

I just noticed it was on in platinum when I found it.

The X-Ray setting can be found in the Preferences dialog if you have the
"Advanced" preferences dialog set. This can then be checked or unchecked.
Probably we don't want X-Ray since I think this makes top windows
semi-transparent and will probably just serve to confuse JAWS.

Chris,
Even though I have some vision and can probably tell by looking at the
screen, how would I know whether x-ray is turned on in X3?

One thing you guys I noticed that xray had been turned on in platinum, so
you definitely want to disable that.
Man they dumped everything in that one preferences area, there are a ton
of tabs in there, I was never seeing everything, mousing around but when I
control tabbed, everything showed up.
Silliness, I don't know why I didn't think to do that, that's so obvious
with child windows,
I do that everywhere else automatically to get to plug windows and such to
see if it works.
Going to go stand in the dum dum corner now.
'grin'.

Ok more strangeness.

I got the tracks list to light up finally for a while in jaws.

Now when I use the control and arrow keys to change volume or pan and
such it moves by one increment value, like going from 127 to 126 but it says
no children, no objects so it's trying to do something else, but it's
looping back around to do the pan function or volume, or what ever it's own.

Now this is strange.

When ever I fire up jaws, I get some sort of window that says something
like hud fb and nothing will read.
I can fire up window-eyes and dismiss the window and get basic track
navigation, I've gotten things to light up a few times with jaws, but none
of the keys work as expected,
not alt 1 not control shift f12 for tracks list, it is weird.

I have got the resolution set right, I actually had it bigger but I put
it at 1280 by 1024
I know the scripts are loaded because I do insert q and get the blind
sonar deal, so go figure.
but with window-eyes everything lights up.

Well, as much as it can, you know what i mean.
