Missing close, minimize, and maximize buttons

I'm using OS X 10.7.4 Lion-- and have been unable to add back the minimize and other buttons when on webpages via Safari or in Mail. 
I've tried rebooting, repair disk permission, but nothing seems to bring it back. 
I seem to have a totally white screen, whereas I used to be able to see the background and have multiple windows.  I also cannot keep the dock
visable- need to scroll below it to bring it back.
And the toolbar stays hidden until I scroll upwards.
Have googled for solutions, but nothing seems to come out of this that helps.  I can only think that my problems are related, since none of
these situations used to occur.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Ted

I think you've accidently zoomed the screen.  Hold the Control key down and scroll with your mouse or trackpad.
One direction zooms the other unzooms

  • My firefoz opens but opens a transparent window that only has the close,minimize and maximize buttons.

    So my firefox has been running well but when i updated my computer, it stopped working. when i double click the icon, it opens a blank transparent window with only the maximize, minimize and close buttons. you cannot even tell its firefox. it does not display any error messages and installing again does not work.
    what is this and how do i fix it?

    hello nachoz88, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
    please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

  • My Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons disappear at random, have to restart firefox to get them back. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    Don't really think I can clarify any better, my Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons disappear at random leaving a little blank spot. Can't figure out why.

    Try to disable transparency in Windows, see:
    *[[/questions/804050]]
    #Right click in a free space on your desktop.
    #Left click on Personalization.
    #There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".

  • Where is the minimize and maximize buttons?

    I'm using Acrobat version 8 and the standard windows XP minimize and maximize buttons are gone from the top right hand corner of the window which means I have to resize the window manually. There IS the "x" button to close the window if I wanted to but that's it. This happened once before in version 7 but then the buttons came back somehow. I'm on Windows XP and all of my other programs work fine. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I fixed my own problem...finally. I'm using a third party add in called PDFlyer. In the options window for that program is a checkbox for "hide minimize/maximize box". That was the trick.

  • Java APPLET minimize and maximize button

    im using java 1.3 and ie4.0 or ie5.5, i would like to know if there is any way i could remove or at least disable the minimize and maximize button for the APPPLET window for the toolbar..i tried using setResizable(false) but it doesnt work..well if i tried it in the appletviewer , it actually worlks for the maximize button(it disables the maximize button), but if i try it in the browser, it doesnt work at all... please help
    thank you

    At least on Linux, JDialog's don't have a resize functionality. So you could do the thing you want to do with a JDialog (or maybe plain java.awt.Dialog), and everything will be fine!

  • Close, Minimize, and Zoom Buttons

    Where are the resources (Graphics) for the Close, Minimize, and Zoom buttons located?

    They appear to be in the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AquaUI. bundle/Contents/Resources/ folder, which can be navigated to with the Finder's Go to Folder command in the Go menu. They may also be in the LeopardUI.bundle folder, with the rest of the path identical.

  • How to hide both the MINIMIZE and MAXIMIZE buttons ?

    Is there anyway that I could use to remove the MINIMIZE and MAXIMIZE buttons up the top right coner of a window ?

    You can disable them (removed on some early windows versions), if you make your window non-resizable.
    Otherwise you would have to override the Window or JWindow class to make your own frame-like window.

    I enterened something in terminal that made the top bar on each video with the close minamize and maximize buttons disapear...does anyone know how to get it back? thank you in advanced.

    Check the very first post on this forum:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=775514.  You didn't mention whether your controller has disappeared also, but it seems like the second or fourth command on that page should help.

  • I need help resizing my Minimize and Maximize buttons when in Full Screen mode. They are almost too small to see!

    When in Full Screen mode on Mozilla Firefox, the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons are extremely small. How do I change the size of these buttons?

    Add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.

  • A dialog with minimize and maximize buttons

    Hello,
    Can you please peek at my question in the Swing forum and try to help me (it's a new question, not the one I posted about earlier)?

    Thanks!

    Couldn't you just extend JFrame in that case, passing the owner as a c'tor argument and sending messages about the occuring actions to it using that reference in overridden methods, before calling super?

  • Compiz-fusion + gtk-window-decorator minimize and maximize missing

    I am running GNOME using x64 at work, and here since the upgrade to 2.24, my minimize and maximize buttons are missing using the GTK-window-decorator in Compiz.
    I have had this problem at home using my i686 system when I used the testing repository, but the problem was fixed in the packages that entered the extra repository.
    Now I wonder why this problem still exists in the x64 packages. I did not test the former testing packages because I have to do my daily work on this pc.
    Please help me. Is there a broken package that was not fixed in the x64 repo or do I need to do something myself?
    Last edited by PJGrefhorst (2008-10-27 10:19:46)

    I solved the problem myself. The compiz-decorator-gtk needs to be rebuild against the new metacity and compiz. Please replace the package!

  • Minimize and Maximize are missing

    I now have 2 users who have been using Acrobat version 7.1 for at least a year each and for some reason the minimize and maximize buttons have disappeared.  They are visible on the main program window but they are not visible on the file window.  I have tried changing views, using full screen, f key, CTRL ALT F, video card, and even uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat but nothing is bringing the buttons back.  Both machines are running Windows XP SP2.  These buttons were here before and now they are gone.  No changes that I am aware of have been made on the machines and the other several license we have are working fine. I tried searching the forums but they all are referring to Adobe Lightroom.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Patrick

    That worked, Thanks!!  I never thought a program would hide a option like that on purpose.  I have invested a good amount of time in this and I am glad I do not have to put anymore into it.
