It's indeed opaque contrary to the previous version of the OS (even if you have not reduced the transparency through the Accessibility Preferences Pane). Worth filing a bug report as it looks like a regression. On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 12:36 PM, Eric Gorouben <gorouben(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Asking again.

Hi, Asking again. Did anyone find a way to let the background picture appear behind the text in an installer window under Yosemite?

How to remove app's icon from LaunchPad on uninstall w/Yosemite
by Stephen Kay 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

I have an app that is NOT downloaded from the App Store, but rather from my website. It uses a MindVision VISE X installer (but I don't think that's part of the problem I want to discuss here). I noticed that with Mavericks (and likely Lion and Mtn Lion), when my app is installed, and then uninstalled, the icon for the app remains in the LaunchPad (even though I explicitly remove it from the Dock). So after some research, I learned that one could do this with a Unix script to remove icons from the LaunchPad: sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*-*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='My App';" && killall Dock However, this doesn't work on Yosemite. In fact, it appears that the database in the ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/ folder is no longer used. This post I found has the answer: http://superuser.com/questions/830196/how-can-i-remove-apps-from-launchpad- in-os-x-yosemite (the database has apparently been moved to a /private/var folder, and you now have to do this:) sqlite3 $(sudo find /private/var/folders -name com.apple.dock.launchpad)/db/db "DELETE FROM apps WHERE title='APPNAME';" && killall Dock It does work to remove orphaned icons from the LaunchPad in Yosemite. But this being the case, I don't think this could be done by an installer because it requires super user access and a password. So, the questions: 1. How do people handle this issue in general? Should I just ignore it and leave a dead icon in the LaunchPad? Does anybody even use that thing? ;-) 2. Does anyone know of other ways to handle this?
