How to make the words of the menu bar on the top of the screen look bigger?

I am considering changing my 15.4'' to 17'', so I went to Apple store and took a look at the 17'' MBP, this machine is awesome and the display is set at 1900 X 1200, I realized that the words are smaller every where. While I know how to adjust the words below the icons to make it bigger, but I really don't know how to make the words bigger in the menu bar, in the menu bar of safari, menu bar every where, does anyone here know how to do it?

Yes, but it isn't here yet.
Sometime next year, Apple is supposed to enable the resolution independent version of the UI which will mean you can get easily readable stuff even with the much higher resolution monitors that are coming.
For now you have only two good choices: Use a lower resolution on the monitor or use the Zoom function of Universal Access (and pan the image around on the screen) to help with visibility.

HI

Make sure you are using a 1080p capable TV. Some TVs have pixel level video ratio adjustment. Sometimes that can force the menubar to be visible if it is the only display connected to the machine. Sometimes you have to go to your hard drive's Applications -> System Preferences -> Displays and drag the white bar on top of the display's representation to the other display. You can only have one primary display with menubar.
Lastly, for non-1080p capable displays, DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX offer pixel level adjustments through software.

Hi ewhuntley,
It sounds like you may be running Acrobat 11.0.07, is that correct? If so, please choose Edit > Preferences > General. In the entry Scale for Screen Resolution, choose 100%. Save your changes, and restart Acrobat. Did that do the trick?
Best,

The custom style mapping option text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style - how do I correct this?

When I tell the custom style mapping option to format a Word style (from an rtf document) with the InDesign style, the text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style. I have a large document that needs to import the styles correctly and I've followed the tutorials exactly however the placed text is still hanging onto the word RTF styles. I want the rtf text to convert to my InDesign styles completely without overrides.

I actually need the cell styles. That's what sets my font, spacing, and GREP styles.
I did find the solution today. In the table style or table setup, I needed to set the "Stroke Drawing Order" to "Column Strokes in Front". Even though it was previously set to "Best Joins" and I had no strokes for rows or for the table borders, it just wasn't giving priority to my dotted columns.
Thanks for your response though!

How do I reset Mozilla so that I can get the menu bar back. Top of browser page is missing?

Top of browser page is not showing tool bar.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar. Firefox 4+ versions have an orange Firefox button that shows when the Menu bar is hidden.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Is it possible to change the height of Spry Menu Bar items?

I'm new to websites and have been trying to understand the CSS of the Spry menu bar. I've managed to put a horizontal menu bar in place and with the help of some previous discussions in this forum, have changed the colours of the menu items and have even managed to centre the text - Thanks!
However, I really would like to have a smaller menu bar - height wise.
I've tried reducing the default height of the menu bar items by adding a height and by reducing the font size and padding. The results have been varied. In Firefox and in Dreamweaver's 'live view' there is still a thin line showing underneath my horizontal menu which is the background colour of the div my menu sits in. In IE there is a similar 'chunk missing' from the bottom of the items.
Is this something that can be done? I've seen lots of help on how to change the width of the items, but have not found any which suggest that the height can be changed.

Sure. You just need to be thorough. Keep in mind that in a Spry Menu Bar you are making the link-text in the list-items block elements, so you will want to change the line-height of the a element. Pick style selectors in the css stylesheet that end in a, with or without an additional class (a.classhere), and play with the line-height.
Another attribute you can consider is the difference in height between Cap and lower case and All caps. You can usually get away with a smaller line-height and a smaller font-size with all caps, because there are no descenders on the text to require more line-height. Keep in mind also that when you state a line-height, your text will center vertically in the line-height, as far as I know, so you might even get away without top and bottom padding.

How to make a screenshot of my menu?

I would like to save my menu as a still image. To make a screenshot of my menu. I can't find the way to do it...

As Olse said... you can;t export it as an image, and you can only get a screen shot as big as your menu editor window will allow, but you can at least get some kind of image out to share with others.

Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
Quit the MAS if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the MAS.

After upgrading to Lion, Preview (5.2.2) appears to have lost the facility to run a slide show by using my mouse to click an icon in the visible menu bar, as I could in the previous version. Can I retrieve that icon and thus that facility?

Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.

I tried to establish the Menu Bar in Firefox 4, but the process did not work. I had to reinstall Firefox 3. Why?

I installed Firefox 4 on my Vista based PC, and there was not Menu Bar nor was there a Status Bar. I followed the instructions in the help article, but I couldn't get either tool bar to appear. The main problem was I did not get the temporary Menu Bar when I pressed the Alt key and released it. Since I use the Menu Bar all the time, I ended up reinstalling Firefox 3. From what I saw of Firefox 4 it seems to be a good upgrade, but I need my tool bars. Is there some other way to get the Menu bar without using the Alt key?

The Firefox Button in the upper left has replaced the Menu Bar but you can, optionally use the Menu Bar; instructions below
The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-on Bar in Firefox 4, by can get some of the functionality by installing an Add-on; see below.
 
 
You can turn the Menu Bar on/Firefox Button off in Firefox 4. You have the Menu Bar on.
To '''''toggle''''' the Menu Bar on/off (Firefox Button off/on), do one of the following to check/un-check (on/off) Menu Bar:
*HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
*Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
*Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
 
 
'''The Status Bar has been eliminated and replaced by the Add-on Bar'''. You can restore some of the prior Status Bar functionality on the new Add-on Bar by
*installing the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
*Be sure the Add-on bar is diplayed at the bottom of the Firefox 4 window
**Ctrl+/ toggles the Add-on Bar displayed or not displayed
**Firefox button > Options '''''OR''''', if you are optionally using the Menu Bar instead of the Firefox button, View > Toolbars '''''OR''''' right-click in a blank space on a toolbar::
***if no check mark next to Add-on Bar, click Add-on bar to place a check mark.
***If Add-on bar has a check mark, it is already displayed
*then drag 3 widgets to the Add-on Bar from the Customize Toolbar window (the 3 widgets are: Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status). To open the Customize Toolbar window
**Using Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
**Using Firefox button: click Firefox button, click small arrow to the right of Options, click Toolbar Layout
**Note: Instead of either of the above, you can do as in the past, right-click an empty space in the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize
*set options for Status-4-Evar:
**Menu Bar: Tools > Add-ons, click on Status4Ever, click Options, set options to your liking
**Firefox button: click Firefox button, click Add-ons, scroll down to Status-4-Evar, click Options, set options to your liking

I want to remove Adobe Updater from the menu bar!

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
