How to decrease width of the dropdown bookmark panel (FF 11)?

How to decrease width of the dropdown bookmark panel (FF 11)?
This panel is too wide and covers too much space in underlying windows. The book marks text should not be truncated but some way needs to be found to allow the entire text of any line to be viewed when the cursor lands on it. Much of the information in "HELP" related to this question turns out to be very very old (essentially meaningless in 2012).

My bookmarks truncate, but only after many, many characters. Then you can view the full title, as well as the URL, in the mouseover tooltip.
To narrow the width of the bookmark menus:
(1) There might be an existing add-on targeted to this; I didn't search.
(2) You could create a custom style rule. One way to do this is to use the Stylish extension and add the following userstyle (create a blank rule first):
<br>@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#bookmarksMenu menupopup {max-width:15em;}
That works in my test, but you can tweak that maximum width to suit your needs. (1 "em" is about 16 pixels). Stylish can be installed from here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox].
(3) You could create a custom style rule in the file userChrome.css, which you can add to your personal Firefox profile. I didn't test it.

What kind of problems did you get after installing the extension?
You can try to remove the history manually in the History Manager by doing a search for a colon.
How many history items do you have to remove?
If you only want to do this once or occasionally then you can consider to use this code:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dickvl/JavaScript_Error_Console#Expire_History_By_Days
You will have to calculate the number of days that you want to keep to remove only history items from 2013 and older (365+31+28+26)
You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
*Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to true to enable the command line
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Browser_Console#Browser_Console_command_line

his.removeVisitsByTimeframe(0,(new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0) - day * 86400000) * 1000);

How to decrease width of spreadsheet tab?

In Numbers 3.1, is there a way to decrease the spreadsheet tabs that go across the top of a workbook? I have a few spreadsheets. They trail off to the right out of view because each spreadsheet tab is so wide.
I tried to drag the width but you can't.

Ok. A lot of people (including me) first thought you had to scroll with the left and right triangles at the right of the band, which is slow. Moving the cursor into the band and swiping left and right is much better for me.
As far as I know there is no control to reduce the minimum width of the tabs, though the width will expand to accommodate long names.
If it's important to you maybe give Apple feedback at Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback in your menu.

How can I clean out the recently bookmarked entries without removing the bookmarks from the folder in the library?

When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library.
What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?

No, currently there is not a way to do this.

How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?

How to match the width of the choice box's dropdown to the choice box

Hi there,
I'm using a ChoiceBox control. The choice box seems to be composed of two parts: the box(displaying the current selection) and a context menu(dropdown). What I find strange is that the dropdown of the choice box(the context menu) has different size than the choice box by default:
http://manvox.com/javafx1.3/choice-box-dropdown.jpeg
I can style the choiceBox's box element by modifying the +.choice-box+ CSS selector. I can also style the dropdown using the +.context-menu+ and +.menu-item+ selectors.
How can I ensure that the dropdown has the same size of it's parent choice box and is aligned to it?

@alabala: Please, if you can spare a few minutes, can you file a bug report for this at the JavaFX Jira issue tracker here: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com
If you set the 'project' to 'runtime', and 'component' to controls, it'll end up on my desk and I'll get the owner of the ChoiceBox control to take a look at it.
Thanks,

How do you get bookmarks to appear directly in the dropdown menu?

I've imported my bookmarks from Firefox, but they don't appear in the dropdown Bookmarks menu--I have to click on show all bookmarks. I just want them all to show up in the Boomarks menu like they do on Firefox.

When you see them in Show All Bookmarks (usually in an Imported Bookmarks folder, but this will work from wherever your imported bookmarks ended up), select them in the main window, then drag-and-drop them onto the icon for "Bookmarks Menu" in the list on the left.
Hope this helps...

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

How to switch to a complete different dialog/panel?

Assume I need for a Flex app two completely different dialog panels:
1.) Panel A with a couple of buttons, entry fields, checkboxes,...
2.) Panel B with a big listbox and a few buttons at the bottom.
So when the user clicks in Panel A on a certain button some cumputations were made and the result presented in Panel B.
First question: How do I design a second Panel in Flex Builder? Is a new (different) mxml file required?
I found no "create new panel" or similar menu.
Second question: How can I switch fron the display of Panel A to the display of Panel B?
Peter

You could use a ViewStack and create separate files or keep them in
the same file, or use viewStates and have them at the same file
Sincerely,
Michael

Using the soft front panel to take a differential measurement.

I have a PXI- 5152 digitizer and need to use the soft front panel to take a differential measurement. I found how to do this by programmatically, but cannot figure out how to do this on the soft front panel. Can anyone help?

Hi Towleb1,
From you second sentence in your question I assume you already found this resource, but just in case I wanted to provide you with a white paper called Differential Measurements Using High-Speed Digitizers. This is a fantastic resource that includes flowcharts and instructions for hardware self-calibration, probe compensation, gain and offset calibration, and actually taking the differential measurement itself.
As far as taking a differential measurement with the NI SCOPE Soft Front Panel, are you talking about taking a single differential measurement or are you talking about taking a differential measurement between two channels on the PXI-5152?
You mentioned that you found how to do this programmatically, but is there a reason you specifically want to use the NI SCOPE Soft Front Panel instead of LabVIEW?
