A symbol appears in lower right corner of screen???

I get this symbol appearing in the lower right of my screen on my w510. It is a capital A with what looks like a "house" around it. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to get rid of it?

Hello mate,
It's just the hotkey feature that means your capslock is on. Just press the capslock key to turn it off and it will go away.

How to create a popup notification in lower right corner of screen

Hi
I am fairly new to GUI building in Java. I am using Netbeans 5.0 and currently developing a desktop application. I wanted to display informational messages from the application to come up in lower right corner of screen - similar to when in MSN or Yahoo messenger if new person signs in. Similar pop-up is also found in Norton when it finishes live update.
Currently I am using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to do this, but it would be more appealing with messages showing on the side without interrupting the application user.
Can someone point me to what I should look at to achieve this? Any sample code would be great help.
Thanks

Use JFrame from javax.swing package. JOptionPane is a built-in dialog that is located at the center of its parent component. With JFrame u can specify the position of your GUI. Try to read the Sun's java tutorial on Creating GUI with Swing: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.html

Amodal dialog box: positioning in lower right corner of screen

I have what seems a quite common requirement, that is to automatically position an amodal dialog box (CL_ABAP_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER) to the lower right corner of the screen.
The logical approach to do this would be to read the screen resolution, deduct the size of the box, and pass the result to the TOP and LEFT parameters of the constructor of the container.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any documentation of what the values for TOP and LEFT (and for WIDTH and HEIGHT, for that matter) really represent. They're not screen pixels, that's for sure.
To read the screen resolution, I execute the following code:
DATA:
lo_consumer TYPE REF TO cl_gui_props_consumer,
ls_metric_factors TYPE cntl_metric_factors.
lo_consumer = cl_gui_props_consumer=>create_consumer( ).
ls_metric_factors = lo_consumer->get_metric_factors( ).
In ls_metric_factors-screen-x and ls_metric_factors-screen-y I get back the screen resolution (x = 1280 and y = 994 on a 1280 x 1024 screen, weirdly, but close enough). Got this from another SDN post, BTW - thanks.
When I manually position my dialog box to the farthest right lower corner, so that the mouse cursor can just about reach it, the GET_LEFT and GET_TOP methods for the dialog box return LEFT = 1453 and TOP = 387. So, obviously, these values have nothing to do with screen pixels.
What I did, then, was to calculate a factor between the screen pixels and the TOP and LEFT values - a factor which is different for the X and the Y dimensions. I got:
- (1453 / 1280) = 1.135 for the x dimension
- (387 / 994) = 0.389 for the y dimension.
With these factors, I calculate the initial position of the box as follows:
l_box_pos_x = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-x * lc_factor_x ) - lc_box_width.
l_box_pos_y = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-y * lc_factor_y ) - lc_box_height.
This seems to work fine, at least on my system and my front-end PC, with all supported resolutions from 800 x 600 up to 1280 x 1024.
It just leaves the question open: Does anybody know what the unit of measure for the sizing and positioning parameters of controls is? Why a box with a width and a height of 100 [whatevers] each is not square, but rectangular?
And finally: does somebody have a more intelligent way to do this?
Thanks, regards & stuff
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
While creating the dialogbox container object, just set metric property to '1' (for Pixels) and then while setting TOP and LEFT you can provide pixels.
For example,
 CREATE OBJECT REF_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER
 EXPORTING
 WIDTH = 100
 HEIGHT = 100
 TOP = 638
 LEFT = 924
 CAPTION = 'hello world'
 metric = 1.
Then your calculation simply becomes,
l_box_pos_x = ls_metric_factors-screen-x - lc_box_width.
l_box_pos_y = ls_metric_factors-screen-y - lc_box_height.
NOTE: Now you will see that your dialog box is a SQUARE!!
Hope this helps..

Since installing Firefox 4 I can't see the encryption symbol (e.g. for online banking)on the lower right corner

Some sites are providing encryption certificates , so like ebay, and of course all internet banking sites. Previous versions of Firefox had been shown a symbol in the lower right corner (lock) with more details about the certificate. Is it still availabble, and how?
Thanks for help and
best regards
Georg

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
You can click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock.
A click on the "More Information" button will show details about the connection.
The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure https connection.
* Hover the Site Identity Button then to see "Verified by xxxx"
* Click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock
* Click the "More Information" button in that pop-up to see additional information about the connection.
You can also look at this extension:

Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?

Q - My images have a
? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
A - The
? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
Click the
? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
On the Mac you should
Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
Browse for Folder and the
Choose button is replaced by
OK.
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.
A tutorial demonstrating above can be found

Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail

Lightroom 2 crashed and now the RAW images I was processing have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
The FAQ relating to this problem by Ian Lyons is dated - 03:39am Jun 9, 2007 Pacific refers to Lightroom and when I click on the ? no file or folder appears in red text.
I am on a PC with XP Pro (Update pack #3)
Any help in locating my files is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Hersul

I've had these problems on my mac and pc.
The ? mark appeared in the LR 2.0 Beta on some photos, and was still there in the latest Lr 2.0(bugga rather than beta). However LR found the photos and I was able to use the develop module to edit the photos.
I am going to be really un helpful and say just ignore it and they WILL go away - to quote JL "its all fine in my system."
The question marks have now gone. I tried the reboot, the delete plists and all the previews, I've rebooted, I compacted and relaunched the catalogs then went away for a couple of days leaving the mac on and LR running.
into PC land.
I frequently have missing thumbnails on my pc as well, this is usually after I have imported a chip full of photos and the pc has finished importing. Unlike my mac, the pc laptop does not tell me its finding / creating the previews.
If I start to do other things straight after import, ie goto develop or scroll thru photos, I get the missing thumbnails and then LR2 hangs.
It always looks good for clients when you say, hang on just gotta CTRL - ALT - DELETE and restart my expensive new program.
I have found, as several people have commented, that being patient with lightroom does work. Allowing LR to background process the thumbnails, the previews and the like does seem to make things more smooth - ie all the ?'s gone in macland and no more blank thumbnails in pcland. Maybe Lightroom is just a sulky 4yr old that we have to feed, and wait for it to digest, then it is happy. It does seem like the database needs to process to work properly, Hey adobe, if this is the case, can we have a progress meter for this please.
It seems that LR just needs to think about our photos... for a few days... i've only got 44,000 on my server so importing catalogs of the days work from the pc or chips does mean the "dreaded whirly umbrella of impatience" that spins when I select 3 photos or press Develop or bakc to Grid or Export or Stack or .... and it often spins for a long while.
So the ? on thumbnails and the photos actually being found and able to be edited is just an annoyance, another annoyance, especially after spending more than the US citizens on an upgrade and there being more bugs than the beta.
The blank thumbnails on a pc is just as frustrating, at least the database seems to be robust enough to allow CTRL- ALT - DELETE several times an hour.
Still, i like LR, though bibble 5.0 pro looks interesting, bloody messy interface though....
Maybe this version of lightroom is the bugga, the previous was the beta and we will get a LR2.23 which will be LR 2.23 brilliant.

Vertical column pop-up button-"OPEN"-with left " " appears-bottom right corner Firefox screen-Independent of web-site visited-Am "secured" against virus-Have not touched button: "Danger, Will Robinson." Appreciate any help. Thnx. DanDeren

Occasionally and sporadically - I cannot reproduce this issue - a small vertical column-ed pop-up button appears in the lower right corner of my (Firefox) browser screen. It is not clear what causes this - I thought perhaps that it had something to do with Google's new gmail format which I have, so far refused to adopt, although when it forces me to do so, I Accept and then re-configure back to the old look. I don't think the problem is with gmail, though since tonight I was accessing the New York Time subscription web-site. However, tonight - 31JAN2012 - this button popped up, stuck around for maybe 30 seconds and then went away. It is small - about a quarter inch wide; perhaps one-half to three quarters of an inch tall. It displays on the top of the button the "<" followed underneath by the word "OPEN" (displayed vertically). I know better than to push an OPEN button whose function is absolutely opaque to me - fool me once... My desktop has the latest version of Firefox - 9.0.1 and I just loaded the latest update. I am running Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.111025-1629 : Service Pack 3). Further info re. operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 - that was probably pretty clear from the Version and Build info above. Hardware: ACER-42041E6643 - ACPI Multiprocessor PC - Chip/Processor: Intel Atom CPU 230 @ 1.60 GHz (2 of these). I can provide more system and configuration information, as necessary. As it is, I go to System Info and it will not let me copy all of the system info above - I had to copy it brute-force manually. I have managed tech support organizations in the past. The first question you ask the user is: "What changed?" or perhaps "What did you change?" Like every other user with an issue, my response is: Nothing of which I am aware. I certainly am not going to push this button - perhaps it toggles between something and something else - more than like so - or it opens "something" - I will not find out what since I refuse to push it. I am guessing this is some benign "feature" of which I am unaware. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and best, Dan Deren.

Contacts lower right corner has 2 more entries

On the iPad, some of my contacts have a person symbol and the number 2 in the lower right corner.
When I tap on it, there are 2 linked cards, unified and unknown.
Some of the info there is the same as the contact card, some is older info, some info has a different category such as work or home than the contact has now.
Where does this come from?
Does this info exist on the Mac too if contacts are synced? I don't remember seeing it there. On the iPhone?
Why do only some cards have this?
How can I make it into only 1 set of information? ( I assume it is taking up space with 3 sets of info.)
If I do, will it carry over to the iPhone as well, or would I have to fix it there if the info is local?
Still on iOS 5.1.1

I also noticed unified and unknown on the iPhone. How can I make these merge with the contact that is already there so there is only one entry?

Document "tiles" into lower right corner when opened

If this is a duplicate post, I apologize . . .I've not read all the posts in the forum, but I'm in a time crunch.
My document looks as though it will open normally, page comes up normally, and then it "tiles" down so that upper left corner of the page is in the lower right corner. You can literally watch the page step down from a full page until only about a 1" x 2.5" section is visible. It only prints that lower right corner, and that's all that is viewable. Also, even though the document is multiple pages, it only shows what appears to be the last page, and says the document is "1 of 1 pages" When it "tiles" down, it appears that there are multiple pages behind the page shown, but we cannot get to them. I've tried opening it in Adobe 9.3 and Adobe 7. I'm not a whiz at Adobe, but this is the first time I've seen this. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

Blue Rectangle in lower right corner

We recently upgraded from Captivate 5.5 to 7.0 and we are now seeing a small blue rectangle in the lower right corner of every screen. The issue appears in the swift file version, the html version and the preview version. The rectangle is not part of any slide. We opened an older project we had created in 5.5 and when we republished it using 7.0 it too had the blue rectangle.

If you make the thumbnails large in the Film Strip, does it appear across all the slides? Or do you only see it on one slide?
If it's on all slides in the Film Strip, it's likely on a Master page or a Content master. If you only see it on one slide, examine that slide in the editor. It should be in the lower right corner and should be clickable. It is likely an object with timing set to rest of project. A quick glance at the timeline would reveal something like this:

Better yet... as there's a lot of "wasted" space w/ too large Month title and empty space surrounding the Month title above and too much space surrounding the month/year slider bar below, how can I minimize these to allow me more usable / valuable calendar "contents" so I don't need to waste so much time clicking "more" just to see the bottom of the truncated third event and find out there are no 4+ events posted that date? i.e. more "user-friendly" presentation?

Camera already on from lockscreen on iPhone 5c. How do I turn it off? The camera icon is running in the lower right corner and when I swipe up from the bottom of the lockscreen it brings up the camera running.

My camera is already running from the lockscreen, the camera icon is displayed in the lower right corner and when I swipe up the control center it brings up the camera first. If I swipe up again I get the control center. How do I stop the camera from staying on and coming up first?

I thought the feature was for it to be available for me to use, not to swipe up and have the camera already going. The control panel is not coming up first, it is the camera. In order to get to the control panel I have to swipe up again and the camera is still going. Annoyingly, I have had to disable the camera from the control panel so it isn't coming up first, and now it is unavailable to use quickly.
