Left speaker icon always highlighted... why?

Postby MikeBell » 30 Sep 2008 04:55

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is by default or something but why is left speaker icon always highlighted? I've tried trashing prefs and uninstalling but nothing works... the icon is always highlighted. What's going on?

Thanks!

Your system is setup to utilize full keyboard access with the option of "All controls" (System Preferences-->Keyboard & Mouse-->Keyboard Shortcuts). This allows you to control items with the keyboard only by tabbing to a control and using the spacebar and arrows to trigger functions. This is a system function, so it's not really a VLC issue unless they can set it to not have an initial control selected so nothing is highlighted.

Thanks! I've never come across this before. No other app has this functionality so visibly exposed..
