I am just now going through the tutorials for Artemis (from the 2011 Diamond Light Source course), so I am by no means familiar with Artemis, but I am seeing the same black buttons. I am running Demeter 0.9.18 from MacPorts, on a Mac 10.8.5, and I don't think I have ever played with the color theme. I can't speak about the feff transferring paths issue (yet). (In the ifeffit mailing list digest I can't seem to see Alison's screenshot, but what I see sounds the same.) Martha W. Schaefer Louisiana State University

I am running Demeter 0.9.18 installed on a Mac 10.6.8 via the (very helpful!) Macports port. I've had nearly no problems with processing my data, but Artemis appears very strange. Most of the button can't be seen and are black instead (I've attached a screenshot). The bigger problem is that once I run a Feff calculation, I can't seem to transfer the paths from the Feff Window into the Data Window (see second screenshot). The program seems to think it's doing it--there are no error messages in the log and it even makes the little graphic as it 'grabs' the path--but it never transfers it over to the Data Window.

I have attached a project file where I get this error, the feff input file that I run the calculation on, and two screenshots of what Artemis looks like for me. I don't think the input and project file matter much since this happens for me even with examples from the various courses Bruce has given.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alison,

First off, I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to this. Busy time.

I don't quite understand the bigger problem. This is certainly not a problem I have on other platforms. Do other Mac users observe the same behavior?

As for the lesser problem, looking at the icons across the top in your screenshots, it would seem that you are using some kind of color theme that is different from a Mac out of the box. Is that right? If so, how does the software behave if you change the theme back to the default?

Cheers, B
