Buttons Too Close Together

Hello there,
I have read a lot on this board and can not seem to find an answer to my specific problem. Any help would be really great.
I've got a still image taken from a camera that will be my menu background. We shot custom buttons as they needed to be in a specific location. The buttons are in the shape of an octagon, a lightning bolt, a circle, and a dog bone. I have tried creating an layered menu, however we need sound on the menu, and it doesn't seem as if dsp supports that. I then tried using an overlay, which would work great if we didn't have this problem: the buttons are very close to eachother and the four sided button that dsp will let me create would have to either cover one enitre button and a little bit of another, or not an entire button. I hope this makes sense.
When the buttons are highlighted they are outlined in the shapes mentioned above. If there is a totally different way to do this, I'd be glad to hear it.
Okay. Thank you so much for any help!

Jacob,
As far as I know, you are going to be limited by the DVD format. You can only make Rectangular buttons for a DVD. You can use your layers and graphics to make it appear like the buttons are various shapes, but ultimately you have to have it be a rectangle.
Is there anyway you can move the buttons farther apart? Otherwise, consider making the roll-over (the button) only affect half the graphic, and so be smaller. For example, have only half the dog and bone change color so you can have both buttons only on your images but not interfering.
Hope that helps!

DVI ports too close together

HI, I tried to connect a second display to my Mac Pro (early 2008) last night and it seems that the DVI ports are too close together and I am unable to fit a second DVI cable in the open port. It's very odd, the 2 ports are shifted to the right and not centered.
I have the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT upgrade but everything else is untouched. Any thoughts?
I already see myself giving my machine to be "repaired or replaced" by Apple but I really would rather not of course. . .
Thanks,
Gary

Tim - Thanks for the suggestion, it's the answer to the problem. It's not who you know it's what you know.
Thanks,

WHY ARE THE SKIP PLAY/PAUSE BUTTONS SO CLOSE TOGETHER!??!!?!

i always end up hitting SKIP foward or SKIP backward when i just want to hit PLAY/PAUSE because the buttons are so close together!!! its not like there isnt enough space on the phone to SPACE THEM OUT MORE. it forces me to spend forever trying to find my spot in the podcast/book im listening to. IT IS SO ANNOYING PLEASE FIX THIS ******** DESIGN.

You aren't addressing Apple here, and no one reading your post can "fix" anything regarding Apple designs. If you read the forum Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined, this is a user-to-user tech support site and Apple doesn't read or participate here.
If you have something to suggest to Apple, post it on the Feedback page, and when doing so, be sure to type out the "*****" you intended.

FYI, no one I know or ever heard of (until you) has trouble with the spacing of the iPod controls. The spacing is just fine for me, and would be annoying to me if changed. Maybe Apple could optionally increase the spacing in the Accessibility settings.

JPanel components too close together

Hi!
I have a JPanel with three components (JLabels) aligned vertically....but there are so close together...how can I put a space (like another line) between them?
Thank you very much...
Gen

I don't even know how your code works. Normally you assign a LayoutManager to the panel first and then you add the components to the panel.
leftPanel.setLayout( new BoxLayout( leftPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS ) );
leftPanel.add(typeLabel);
leftPanel.add(colorLabel);
leftPanel.add(sizeLabel);If you want additional spacing then you just add use:
leftPanel.add( Box.createVerticalStrut(10) ); Its even easier to use the Box class:
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();
box.add( ??? );
box.add( Box.createVerticalStrut(10) );
box.add( ??? );

Markers too close together?!?

i am burning a dvd where i only have one track and one video. when i go to burn it won't allow me telling me that my markers must be further apart. i only have two markers. one at the front and one at the end of about a 2 min video. when i move the end marker (chapter 2) to the middle of the movie it is fine, but when it is at the end of the video and it has an end jump back to the menu - it will not work. any thoughts? it probably is an easy fix - i just can't figure it out.
thanks
mrC

You need to move that marker to the left a little. Its a DVD spec thing. Think of it as the end of the video being a marker too - which in DVD terms, it is. Move it one more notch over and try again

Creating spaces in PDF form- text is too close together

Thank you in advance for all of your tips.
I am a novice to Adobe PDF form creator and I need some assistance. I am creating the forms and I have all my boxes set, but the issue is that I can not find where to space the text boxes from the top line to the bottom. (As we would do with the enter/return key) I have the full letter page to fill but when I print the form it's on a 1/4 of a page and I need all the text to fill the whole page. I don't necessary want to enlarge the boxes to fill the space.
Where can I create extra spacing between each top and bottom lines?
Michelle

Only the creator of that form can do that.

Why are the forward and backward buttons so close to the play/pause button on the lock screen?

The quickest way to control the playing of music or podcasts is on the lock screen after double tapping the button. The controls for forward, rewind and play/pause are way too close together. There seems to be no logical reason for having them so close when there is room on the screen. Is there a way of moving these buttons?

No. But tell apple about your concern http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Dual Cinema displays, connectors too close

Oh so I have a dual display card and 2 20in cinema displays. The connectors on the video card are too close together to accommodate the fat plugs on the 2 cinema displays. I had to other branded displays and the connectors fit nicely. Is there an extension to fit on these to bring them away from the computer without having to swap out the card?

Your Mac Pro should have come with a short DVI(M) to DVI(F) extension cable with small connectors. Use it for one of the displays.

My gradient points are close together... how do you tab to the next one?

Anybody know how to do this? It's a royal pain to spend time trying to click the pixel-wide edge of a gradient marker when they are close together.
Sometimes selecting them in the Canvas helps with the gradient tool, but even then they're sometimes too close together. Any shortcuts?

I also need to know how to select gradient multiple points at a time (so I can slide two adjacent points without having to fiddle with/fix their relative separation)

In a Quiz the Correct Answer Buttons are too close to the answer letter. How to give more space?

When creating a quiz and previewing, the Buttons to select the correct answer are too close to the letter for the answer. How do I add space between them. Suggestions?

I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite. So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes. My bad.
However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option. This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected. So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0. Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

How to handle the "cancel" button and "close" icon of a popup ?

Hi,
I have a popup with "cancel button" and "close icon"(on the top right corner of the popup), I want the same operations to be performed on clicking of any of these two components.
Is there a way to handle such situation ?
I read about 2 cases to look into this but they didn't work too well for me.
1. I read about the "popcancellistener" but that listener is called whenever the popup closes, so suppose I have an "ok button" on the popup to create a record, after the record is created, the popup closes and goes into the "popcancellistener", now the question is "how do we know if it came there because of the 'ok button' or 'some other event'".
2. I even checked the "DialogListener", now I'm able to distinguish between the 'OK' and 'CANCEL' button in the dialoglistener using the "Dialog.Outcome.ok/cancel", but when a user clicks on the close icon, we do not enter the "DialogListener" at all, so in this case "how do we handle the close icon click event"
Do let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The following mechanism responds to any of the following events: <Esc> key, Close icon ('x'), Cancel button
JavaScript part:
function popupClosedListener(event){
              var source = event.getSource();
              var popupId = source.getClientId();
              var params = {};
              params['popupId'] = popupId;
              var type = "serverPopupClosed";
              var immediate = true;
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(source, type, params, immediate);
}JSF part:
         <af:popup ....>
              <af:clientListener method="popupClosedListener"
                                       type="popupClosed"/>
              <af:serverListener type="serverPopupClosed"
                                      method="#{myBean.serverPopupClosedMetod}"/>
        </af:popup>Finally, Java part:
public void serverPopupClosedMetod(ClientEvent event){
}

Proximity sensor reacting too close causing droppe...

I have two Nokia Lumia 800 phones and they react too close with proximity sensor causing screen to become active so when I am outdoors in brighter light calls are auto-dropped when my cheek touches the end call button on the screen. I have compared my two Nokias in Diagnostics and they react at exact same distance (around 3 cm) and I have also compared them side-by-side to another LG E900 Windows Phone in their diagnostics where it reacts 2 cm further away (around 5 cm). On the LG calls are never dropped by mistake. Would it be possible for you to change this distance in upcoming firmwares so calls are not dropped as easily?
If I am indoors in darker light or at night it is not common to see it, but during summer time and during more light it is more common I have noticed.
Workaround I have currently is to disable the screen auto on/off feature by pressing power button once after answering or calling. if you do this manually it is disabling proximity sensor screen on/off until you press the power button again.

I find it completely ludicrous that Apple can interject on this thread and say it's received too many posts and has to be shut down and a "new" thread started. Really now? Seriously? Couldn't they also simply pop in and post 'hi guys, we hear you and are working on it' ...or something to that effect? That's my main complaint really is the deafening silence. What they're basically telling us is to complain all we want, if we don't like the phone then return it for a refund ...that is if you still have your original defective phone, for all you that already swapped phones, you're beat and are stuck with our mistake for the next 2 years when you'll be upgrade eligible again. ...WOW, thanks for the statement without technically releasing one. ...I think we're all left in the dark because Apple really doesn't know what is going on with the sensor, they can't and or won't release a statement without getting the facts straight. ...but we all know one fact is straight...the sensor is dysfunctional and that alone deserves an acknowledgement. How are we to have faith in Apple to fix the issue when we're left to believe they don't think there is one.
...btw update on "my fix" ...deleting all your photos and putting the phone in your arm pit and then under your pillow is only a temporary solution, for mine sensor is on the fritz again. ...shaking my head, if only this were
funny.

Text in Email messages to close together

When I read my Email in the right hand pane,the words are so close together that they are jumbled together and on top of one another. What is causing this ?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, could you enclose a picture? (to screenshot on an iPad press the home and lock buttons simultaneously).
Have you tried closing the app and trying again? You can do this by double clicking the home button (or, if gestures are enabled in settings, swipe upwards with 4 fingers) and holding down on the mail icon until a red dash appears, then press the dash and press the home button again. Then reopen the app.

Does iTunes see your phone?
Do you have a PC or a Mac?

How do I get the Home, Reload and Forward/Backward buttons grouped logically together, rather than splattered randomly across the top of the browser ?

In Firefox 3, all the buttons are grouped together, in V4 they are now scattered across the top of the browser, aping IE7/8 - plus the "stop loading" button has gone walkabout - it would be useful to get that back, as well.

You can open the Customize window to make it possible to change the position of those toolbar buttons.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />
* Drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar.
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
