Stars not visible

[fabianlujan]

Hello,
Since the last update that I'm not able to see the stars selector at bottom-right.
Color selectors is okay, but stars are missing.
Their funcionality is okay, I can filter with no problem, but I can't see them.
Note that stats on each thumbnails are visible.
Check screenshot crop:

Thanks Fabian, I'll look into this.

Hi Kirk,
Any update on this issue?
I got crazy working with thousands of starred images the last weekend and I wasn't able to do it properly because I can't see them.
Thanks!!

I'm sorry I didn't update this thread.  I have been unable to reproduce the issue.  The stars show up for me with the Dark UI theme set.  You might try changing to the lighter UI theme (in the Accessibility section of the Preferences dialog).  Toggling it back may fix the problem and let you keep the Dark UI theme.

Hi Kirk,
Nothing changed.
Perhaps a font issue?
Which is the font displayed on PM UI?
Thanks!

Fabian,

It uses Arial, specifically the 'black star' (Unicode 0x2605) and "middle dot" (Unicode 0x00B7) characters.

For Dark UI:
When a rating is on, it is drawn with the color 155,159,165 (alpha 255)
When a rating is off, it is drawn with the color 210,210,210 (alpha 120)

For Light UI:
When a rating is on, it is drawn with the color 0,0,0 (alpha 255)
When a rating is off, it is drawn with the color 64,64,64 (alpha 100)

If for some reason your Arial font does not have those characters, I would still expect the numbers to be drawn.

Well none of them are visible.
Will try to restore the Arial font and let you know.
Thanks!

No way Kirk, can't make it work.
Maybe a way to change the UI font? I know it may be a problem, but it may work.
Thanks again!!

Fabian,

It is beginning to sound like a video driver problem.  Is your video card's driver up to date?

I believe yes, but will check today and let you know.

Okay Kirk,

Updated to the latest Nvidia driver and nothing.
Stars are not visible.

Thanks!

Fabian,

Okay Kirk,

Updated to the latest Nvidia driver and nothing.
Stars are not visible.

Try this: quit PM.  Launch it again, but hold down the Shift key until it completely loads.  This resets all of the window layout settings.

If that doesn't fix it, try resetting your preferences: http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=8219.0

HTH,

Tried all and nothing.
No stars are available.

I'm not sure I will be able to help you solve the problem.  No one else has reported this problem and I am unable to reproduce the problem on any of my systems.  If you use a different computer do you still have the problem with the Star rating filter?  Have you tried creating another user account on your system to see if the problem is related to your main user account?

[fabianlujan]

Will try that Kirk.

Have in mind that I had problems displaying fonts in web browsers and since I reinstalled them, this problem appeared.

I don't know anything about this, but it looks to me like something with fonts.

Thanks again!
