Inconsistent dialog boxes in Mac OS X Lion

Why do the dialog boxes have two different looks? For example in import PDF you see standard Lion buttons with slightly rounded corners and in contact sheet II they are completely square. That kind of inconsistency makes the app look ugly and cheap. Yes I know it works, but a nice consistent interface makes it much more fun to work with on a daily basis. Also as it is now the dark interface is harder to read than old Ps or Lightroom.

Scripts (like contact sheet) use a different UI toolkit from the main application. The same goes for some of the plugins.
Yes, we want to make it more consistent, but there's only so much time between versions...

  • Funny fonts in some dialog boxes on Mac OS X 10.6.5

    Hi
    We only just started using Dreamweaver after installing it a little while ago. We have version CS5. When we go, for instance, to the Page Properties dialog box,  the field labels seem to be using a corrupt font. I wonder, if that is the case, if it's possible to find out what font it might be so we can replace it. Or, check to see if it's missing. I've checked that the font in /LIbrary/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts are correct - and the default fonts are present in /System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts.
    Any suggestions apprectiated!

    Definitely a corrupt font without a doubt.  Only thing you can do is open up Font Book and see if you can find the suspect.  I doubt it came from an Adobe installation, looks to be a custom font, probably an "outline" version by the looks of it.  You could always take a screenshot and crop the image and use What the Font so you don't have to go through each font.

  • Dialog boxes in mac os x

    Is there any way to make the default (pulsating/glowing) button be selected as default? so If i were to press spacebar, it would acknowledge that button. I know return works but been used to using the spacebar on the PC plus, the spacebar is closer to the left side too.
    For example, if a dialogbox has Cancel and OK, the first one(cancel is selected) and pressing space will "cancel" it
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Not that I know of, but if you go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and at the bottom of the window choose "Full keyboard access all controls. You'll be able to tab from button to button and from field to field in browsers and other windows. In some instances the spacebar will just cancel the operation.

  • Having a dialog box problem in InDesign CC

    The dialog boxes on my just downloaded version of InDesign CC look like Windows dialog boxes, not Mac ones (although Save and Save As do appear as normal OSX design). Obviously I am on a Mac and don't want a partial Mac version of InDesign. My previous versions, including most recently CS6, have not had this problem. Suggestions?

    Hi there. I don't have anything to help you but I am curious about something you have done that I was told was not possible. I am VERY new to this forum and I wanted to upload an image to one of my posts. However, I couldn't see a way of doing it.
    Thankfully, someone pointed out to me that I had to use Workspaces and gave me a link to the instructions. So in my post, there is only a link, and the reader has to click on it, wait for Workspaces to load etc. I found this very annoying and weird given than most forums allow users to upload simple files.
    I came across your post and you have managed to include the actual images in your post! This is great. It is instant feedback for those who are trying to help you.
    So please, can you tell me how you achieved this without having to go through Workspaces?
    I would love to know.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

    The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
    A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
    Thanks for any help

    It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

  • My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

    My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

    Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
    Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
    After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

    I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

    Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
    from Stevejones5
    "I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
    Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library.  (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
    Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • Problem with finishing install of Flash Player on a Mac. When finishing by entering the requested password, the dialog box jiggles as if the p/w is invalid. But it works in the Adobe site.

    I am trying to install Flash player on my Mac. All the steps are working as they should, until the point where I am asked to enter my password. I do this, and the dialog box jiggles as through  the p/w were invalid. However, it works to sign in to the Adobe site. I just changed it to be sure and checked again.

    There is no password required to download or install the Flash Player.  Chances are your Mac is requiring you to enter its password to allow the installation to occur.

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    I do presentations in PP10.  I am new to macair, and used to Windows.  HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"?  I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back.  The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box.  I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC.  How do I do it with the Mac????

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

  • Can't drag sidebar items in "open/save" dialog boxes - Mountain Lion

    (First time poster)  Using Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and InDesign CS6.  Having errors. First was that smart folders made the Open/ Save dialog boxes crash when referenced in the "Favorites" section of sidebar.   Next, and more serious, error, is that I cannot drag/ rearrange my sidebar items in this view. AKA I cannot take "Favorites" on the sidebar and drag that section below "Devices" or "Shared" or "Media" like I normally can in Finder or any other app for that matter.  Recently installed SIMBL and "Colorful Sidebar" app but uninstalled and removed bundle file from SIMBL plugins folder in order to try and resolve this. Hard to say if this problem started before or after the third-party plugin was installed, but regardless, it's gone now, and still having problems.  Help please!  Thanks,

    None of these are InDesign questions.
    I'd suggest asking this is the Apple forums:

  • Save for Web does not open dialog box in PS Elements 8 for Mac

    After opening an image and selecting Save for Web, the Save for Web dialog box fails to appear. I've seen similar reports for PS Elements 6 for Mac, but did not find the same files in those directories. Running iMac with OS 10.6.

    There are many things that only work in an admin account, but if you're willing to take the trouble, you can change the permissions to allow them to work in a standard account. See:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/362899
    Note that it's pretty important to run Save for Web one time in the admin account after changing the permissions or it still won't work in the standard account.

  • MAC OSX 10.9.5: What is this strange file format in the Open Dialog box?

    Hello all.
    I'd never really noticed this, but I saw a rather unusual file format in the Open dialog box and was wondering why it appeared as it did. It appears as follows from the file/open dialog box:
    To be completely transparent, I'd originally posted this image on my twitter feed to @illustrator. Since then I have been in communication with Scott but the advice has been to reinstall Illustrator. If this had happened on one machine, I'd be inclined to agree that this may do something, but since discovering this unusual format, i've since seen it on six macs running OS 10.9.5 and illustrator version 18.1.0 OR 18.1.1
    Can anyone else confirm that they see the same thing; or if there is a difference, what this format is meant to actually be. I suspect this is a bug but need confirmation by other users.
    Colin

    The error occurs on all machines I have tested. 5 of the machines have the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but one had no plug-ins at all. All software was installed literally "out of the box" from the creative cloud.
    UPDATE - tested 3 more machines in the office all running 18.1.1 on OSX 10.9.5 and they ALL do the same thing, all installed with the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but otherwise installed "out of the box" from creative cloud.
