Good evening,

I have a system using system.gui.transform extensively. Every once in a seemingly random while the components being called by system.gui.transform will all go black when acted upon by some event. This seems to me it’s a graphics card problem? Ignition installation requirements are:

- Dual-core processor
- 4 GB RAM
- 10 GB free HD space
- _(Requirements vary by usage)_

But what are the graphics card requirements? When I reload the screen the black components are refreshed and usable again.

Thanks for any insight…

Java Swing isn’t hardware accelerated (unless you specifically opt-in) so it’s pretty unlikely.  
In the gateway settings you could try toggling the direct3d/directdraw options:
