How can I make the "add event" dialog in Lightning use 12-hour times?

The Add Event dialog in Lightning (on an iMac running OS 10.10.2 Yosemite) is displaying 24-hour times in the dropdown boxes. I need these to be in 12-hour format.
Also, the default calendar needs to be changed. Where are these preferences located?

I don't know what the acceptable setting values are, but you could experiment with
''calendar.date.format''
in the config editor. '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]'''|Advanced|General→Config editor
Mine is set to 1 and it's faithfully copying the date/time format I use elsewhere, but that may just be coincidence. But I suspect it is simply the toggle between long and short date formats as offered in the Options GUI for the calendar.
Bear in mind that all those AM/PM indicators will eat up precious screen real estate.
Settings for the Calendar are under Tools|Options (on Windows); that'll be Edit|Preferences or Thunderbird |Preferences.

How can I make the marker event pulse width longer in NI-FGEN?

I want to generate a marker event on PF0 line using NI-FGEN.I can set the marker event pulse width but when I was trying to make the pulse width units as 65 I was getting an error-1074115931.
How can I make the marker event pulse width longer without using script as I am using PXI-5412 which is not supporting Script.
Can anyone help me out in doing the same?

Unforunately, as you mentioned, the PXI-5412 does not support scripting mode. This will limit you to 1 marker using sequence mode. However, the PXI-5421 and PXI-5422 would allow the functionality.
As far as making the pulse width longer, and as the KnowledgeBase Article that you linked to discusses, I don't think it will be possible to create a marker as long as 1us - 10ms using just the Marker properties and without using scripting. You can still try to do this with property nodes and see if you can get a usable result. Start with an example such as "Fgen Arb Waveform Marker" and use the "Marker Position" value to set the start time (you would want 0 here it looks like), and then "Marker Event Pulse Width Value" to change the pulse length, but again I am afraid you will probably reach the maximum of 640 ns here. If you're not able to get this going with the property node, you will need either a FGEN card that supports scripting or another card that does Digital I/O to accomplish this.
Thanks!

How can I make the project into 16:9 when using 2 4:3 aspect ratio videos in project

I want to make a project that is 16:9 but am adding a video of a talking head (speaker) fimed in 4:3 and I want to place that in upper left corner of project and then add a video of the powerpoint they were speaking to also filmed in 4:3

There are a number of challenges to doing this, including the fact that doing so will require lots of rendering and the even bigger fact that, if you're planning to show this on a TV, up to 10% of the edge gets cut off, which means that any text you've got outside of the "safe zone" might be off the screen.
But, with those caveats, place the upper left corner video on Video 1, select it and open Applied Effects. Open Motion and set the Position and Scale so that your video sits in the upper right corner.
Add your images to Video 2 and do the same thing, setting Position and Scale so that it is in the lower left of your screen. Then add you main video to Video 3 and set its Position and Scale so that it is in the right 2/3 of your video frame.
As I say, there are a number of potential problems with this kind of composite, so I'd recommend you do a very short test composition first, then output it and show it on the device or web site you hope to display it. That way you'll get the bugs out before you go investing a week's work into something that has you scrambling to fix at the last minute.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

How can I make the text vertical in numbers? I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.
tip #1 :
--{code}
--[SCRIPT write_vertically]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : write_vertically.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.

Save the script as a Script: write_vertically.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:

Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
In a cell, type a word to write vertically then select it.
CAUTION, don’t select the cell but the word which must be highlighted.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “write_vertically”
The script insert in the cell the word after inserting a return between every characters.
For my own use, I link a shortcut to the script thank to FastScripts.

I am frustrated with how my cursor jumps around while typing. How can I make the arrow follow the cursor so this doesn't happen?

Macbook Pro with OSX Yosemite: I am frustrated that when using Word for Mac, the cursor keeps jumping around all over the page. How can I make the pointer follow the cursor so this stops?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

How can I make the sort default "by date" in iPhoto?

On one of my computers, every time I load an event, it goes to the top of the library and I have to go to "sort/by date" to get it to go to the end or bottom of the library...where I want it.
On my other computers, the default seems to be "by date" normally....
How can I make the default sort option "by date?"
Thanks.

I am not by that computer now. But that makes sense.
I combine events that are imported into that iPhoto. I suppose that would qualify as manually sorting....right?
Still, shouldn't there be a way to overide that and make "date" the default. That is, if your observation is correct.
(I'll take a look tomorrow....)
Thanks!!

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

How can I make the "add event" dialog in Lightning use 12-hour times?
