I need some help with backgrounds and visibility. I have placed various objects just as rectangle, placards, canvases with a checkbox on them. I don't want the window fill color to show as the background of the checkbox, instead, I want the background (fill color) of the rectangle to be the background of the text for the checkbox.

I thought I would just not include text with the checkbox and put a label next to it with the text I want. Except it's hard to get the remaining border of the checkbox to not show any of the window fill color.

Is there another way to do this?

I had an image of the window I was working with but I obviously don;t know how to include and image.....

We, as outsiders can't see the picture on your Desktop.
You have to put your image on a public server (Dropbox, Flickr, etc.) and replace the link between [/img] and [/img] with the link to the picture on the public server.

Let's see if the image works now.

I need to know how the fill color, background precedents work..

thanks in advance,

Yes, build the application as Cocoa. Cocoa does not have this problem. On the menus go to:

Project >> Build Settings... and the select Cocoa (Beta)

Ive tried it and it works.

OUTSTANDING ! Cocoa did the trick.

thanks so much,
