Ability to resize windows limited

In Preview, Google Chrome, and as far as I know every program, I can only rezie the windows to a certain point. They can go full screen, but when shrinking them I'm limited at a certain point from going any smaller. I am assuming this is a feature somehow, because once I can not go any farther, the double arrow resizing cursor, that appears when you hover over the border of a window, turns into only one arrow, pointing in the only direction I can now move the border. How do I go about fixing this? I've tried every view tool and setting menu I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears that others have tried to overcome (or "undercome"?) the minimum size of windows as well, and failed - even with hacks and AppleScript.
And from some comments out there one can tell that a certain minimum size seems to make good sense...

  • PerformancePoint right click action opens in un-resizable window after migration.

    Greets all,
    We've recently upgraded a client's SharePoint 2010 farm to 2013 including a number of PerformancePoint dashboards. Most of these dashboards include Analytics charts with Right-click actions that open Reporting Services Reports.
    Since the migration, these windows now open in a 600 * 600 window, with no toolbars and no ability to resize in IE. Firefox and Chrome work fine.
    We've traced the problem to the PPSMA.NewWindow.openUrl() method that is supplied in the dashboardframework.js as part of PerformancePoint. This method calls window.open(URL,name,options) but doesn't specify the resizable=yes option. This is a completely
    different method tot hat used by the SP2010 version of PPS as far as we can see.
    My current workaround is to currently try and overide this function be redefining it on the page but with the option. I'd be greatful if anyone else has come across this and solved it another way? (Or if it's a bug in PPS that MS have fixed with an update,
    but I can't find any info..)
    Many thanks
    Paul.
    PS.. The client environment is using IE9, so I haven't been able to test this in 10 or 11.

  • How do i drag icons and how do i resize windows

    this is my first laptop having been used to emacs before. I can't figure out how to drag items or resize windows when not using a mouse and can't find such simple instructions in the manual.
    thanks.

    In addition to the method described by Jim, you can set options in the Keyboard & Mouse preference panel (in System Preferences) that allow you to get mouse clicks and click lock using the trackpad. Check out those options, many people find they make the trackpad a lot more useful.

  • Is there a way to open an image in a floating, resizable window?

    In previous versions of PDE I could open an image (or for that matter, multiple images) as floating, resizable windows.  Now, images seem anchored.  How can I detact them from the big editing screen, such that I can move them around the computer screen as I could in the past?
    Thanks,

  • Resizing Windows Partition - No Longer Booting

    Whenever I attempt to setup a Windows/Linux Dual boot I get hit with this same dilemma. I start off with a NTFS format partition with Windows XP on it. As soon as I resize the partition, it no longer boots. Even before installing linux/grub. I defragmented before attempting this, and I took every precaution. In the end, I'm never able to boot my Windows OS. I can boot Linux from the Grub menu, and I can still access my Windows files.
    As of now I've reformatted back to Windows. I would just like to know what went wrong because I want to attempt another install later on.

    Ward,
    windows is weird in that it notes somewhere the block numbers where the system is installed, and when that moves
    it does not boot anymore.
    Now you are making life more complicated then necessary: if you still have windows resized and installed (and not booting),
    you can use the windows install cd and go into repair mode. It will fix the resized windows.
    If you are starting from scratch, before installing windows, start a Linux live CD, do not install it, start the program
    "gparted" and partition your disk as you want it. Then install windows in one of the partitions.
    Instead of the Linux live CD you can also use a Gparted  stand alone CD:

    Hope it helps.

  • I am an artist who built my site on iWeb 08. Although I have easily been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. How do I convert to iWeb 09 and is this easy to do?

    Help! I am an artist who had my site professionally designed on iWeb 08. Although I have  been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming.  I was advised to update to IWeb 09 (which I could get, I think? from Amazon) because it has a built- in option to publish to any FTP. How do I convert my 08 folder to an 09 folder?  Will it convert correctly?  I know eventually I will need to rebuilt the site, but I would like to use this option for awhile to buy time. Is this feasible? I currently own a Mac Pro.

    Its just a question of installing the later version of iWeb from the iLife disk and opening your website in that version. Its a good idea to have a backup of your Domain.sites2 file before doing this. See this page for its location...

  • Slow performance when resizing windows

    Hi I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. Certainly capable of resizing windows, however when I resize windows I get very poor performance. I always have to wait for the window to redraw on screen. This is unacceptable. This powerful of a machine can't resize windows in real time? I'm running Tiger 10.4.11. Is this normal behavior? Anyone else experience this? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

    That's not right. What happens when you run your visualizer in iTunes? You should be able to get 60 FPS. Try running your hardware tester once and see if you may have a graphics problem.

  • Help resizing window using PS CS4 on PC

    I am trying to figure out a way to put 4 or 6 images on my screen and be able to move them around to compare them.
    Am using Photoshop CS4 on PC and XP Home. I open 4 or 6 files and float all in windows. I then zoom out and make 1 image smaller, so it is smaller than the window. Then match zoom and location to get the zoom ratios the same. Now I have 4 or 6 images that are in windows that are larger than the image.
    Is there any way I can make the windows smaller to be the same as the image other than do each one individually by dragging on the corner? Is there a shortcut to do this? Any way to adjust all the windows at once?
    I realize this is a bit confusing. Let me know if I can clarify the question better. Thanks.

  • Resizing window affects data aquisition

    Hi Guys, got a really annoying problem that I've been trying to solve for about 2 weeks now, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me.
    We communicate through a dll to our data aquisition box (custom). Our custom data aquisition box has an array which we read in a timed loop every 20ms (although the array is present for around 50ms), once read we send a command saying that we have read the data.
    Once we've read the data we put it into a queue. The logger then reads from this queue, all works fine on a normal run. However if we resize any window (not just a labview one) this seems to knock out our Timed loop. i.e. we miss 1-2 arrays worth of data (50-100ms). This is strange as we have it in a Highest priority VI running in the "Data aquisition" thread. We also do lots of other things i.e. read from a TDMS file and read/write to global variables and display data on a graph, this doesn't seems to have much of an affect on the timed loops, its just when we resize a window. Obviously we do not want to risk losing critical data, so we need a way of stopping this from happening?
    Its almost as though the VI is running in the User interface thread and is a lower priority than the resize window method.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how we can solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Joe
    We are collecting data at 1Khz and our Dll is thread safe and is set to "run in any thread".
    Using Labview 2009f3

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for all your replies. Sorry for late reply, I was out the office yesterday.
    Unfortunately i can not post my source code however i have made a small mock up of how the system generally works, to give you an idea.
    josbone: Our dll is classed as thread safe and we have it running as such - i thought this could be the case to start with. I presume because it is classed as "any thread" it could still be running in the UI thread though?
    Tinnitus: I have attached a mock up that shows the main points in the system. I think I got a little confused on my previous reply. The DAQ holds the data there for 50ms and that is our only chance to read the data(more data comes through and our buffer can only hold 50ms worth). Which if the Timed Loop executes at 20ms should be fine.
    DFGray: I got really excited reading your reply - it sounded like it was a great fix, however, unfortunately it did not work
    Hope the mock code helps
    Regards,
    Joe

  • Resize windows and manage files in save/open dialogs?

    1. How to resize windows by dragging any border or corner?
    2. How to manage files via a Save/SaveAs or Open dialog (rename, delete, copy other files, etc...)?
    My search on these two things only comes up with comparisons and debates about Win vs Mac. Not relevant to the questions! I already run Win XP in Fusion when I have to for work. I don't want to run Windows; I just want to eliminate a couple Mac shortcomings since Apple hasn't. Yet. Maybe it has to do with patents...
    Anyway, does anybody know of a utility or other way to enable these functions in Mac OS 10? (I've tried Pathfinder; it doesn't quite do the trick.)

    I believe you will find a couple of third-party utilities that provide some enhancements for windows. As for file dialogs I can only recommend Default Folder X. You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • SAP Script  - resize window / paragraph

    Hello Gurus,
    I have two problems related to sap script. ( ver 4.6c)
    I have copied the original order confirmation form from 000 client in diff.languages like FR/DE/EN ( these forms are used by diff. offices in diff. location ) now we have to create a form for our china office location so I copied an existing form ( FR language) to language ZH.
    a. I cannot resize or move the window of the form ZH, to do this I have to convert the original laguage to ZH ( original language of the form is FR) , to change the original language I have to edit the FR language form and use the utilities->convert org.lang option , my question is if I do this process what will happen to our FR language settings users? or is there anyother way to do this ( move or resize window ) without disturbing other forms.
    b. I am using two paragraph settings for printing the item line in the order form, ex. ZZ and IS , if I use IS the item line appears but for ZZ there is no item lines printed on the form. ( blank ) What could be the problem for using ZZ Par.format.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks and best regards,
    A drop in an Ocean

    Try to identify the original language of the SAPscript.
    EX: GOTO SE71, give your form name and language ZH. select radio button Header and click change.
    under adminstrative data, identify the original language. EX: if original language is DE
    GO back to SE71, now give your form name and key in language as DE. Modify all windows here.. i.e. re-size etc., it will automatically gets changed in your ZH language. Also you can create new paragraph formats or change existing paragraph formats here using original language. you can see all changes in form ZH.
    If you want to re-size in "ZH" itself .. try to change original language to ZH.
    I guess, this info will help you to close the thread.

  • Preview app auto-resize window

    Shift-command-R resizes the image to fit window. How do you resize window to fit an image at it's original size? What a glaring oversight by Apple.

    I don't need the image to be full screen, just the window. And the window is not technically full screen, because you can still see the window borders and the panels. I want the image window with the different image tabs to open as big as my screen. I want the edges to come right up next to my panels and the bottom to go down to the bottom of my screen. For example: I use Mac and when you close a finder window and open a new one, it will open at the same size that you closed it. If you resize it, lets say, to fill your entire screen, close it and then reopen it, it will open the same size as you closed it. I don't want photoshop to open new image windows to the same dimension as the image. I want a grey screen to cover my entire monitor just like in CS3 and before. I really like the tabs, but I want the window to open bigger with grey space arround the image.

  • Randomly lose the ability to minimize windows (possibly after 5.5 update)

    Just like the title says I randomly lose the ability to minimize windows.
    I just noticed it a few days ago; and I think it started after I updated to 10.5.5... It seems to happen when I use the spaces feature. Since I'm always use Windows XP in vmware, I give Windows it's own desktop. At times I drag, or open up new applications in other spaces. And when I go bettween the spaces using a command arrow, I notice the "yellow" minimize botton turns a grayish white, and I can't click on it. Sometimes I can still do a command M to minimize that Window, other times that feature is "grayed out" as well. The only thing I can do to fix it is to close and reopen the Window(s), affected.
    About my machine:
    Macbook Pro 4,1
    2.4 ghz Intel
    2 gig's of Ram
    Nivida 8600 256meg
    200 gig drive (Partitioned a 100 for leopard, and a 100 for Windows XP Pro "NTFS")

    Update:
    I found the problem has to do with vmware.
    When I run Windows XP Pro in full screen mode in vmware, and I got bettween spaces, that's when I lose the ability to minimize my OSX applications.
    If I run Windows XP Pro with in a window in Vmware or in "utility" mode, I don't have that problem...
