Can i change the aurora starting screen

When I start my Mac in Leopard I get the choice between my different Users in a window. In the background is the Aurora pic filling the screen. I just don't like it and would like to change that to something else. If such a thing is possible.
Is it? And if Yes, how do I do it?
Thanx,
Brick

I like it the way it is and if I want to change something, I just do it.
We always rely on tips and tricks, hints and kinks, - - that's what it's all about. Human intelligence and ingenuity. That's why I prefer OS-X and Linux over Winders.

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?
It seems to be going to one default folder every time I open that I didn't suggest.
I'm using Bridge CS4
Thanks ahead
Line

If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to autoload Bridge on Startup. Either disable that option in PS or shut Bridge down before you shut off the computer.

If you always want it to start on a specific folder you can leave it on autoload, go to folder you want it to start on then exit Bridge. It should load this each time in future. Many of us discourage the autoload option as it can lead to other problems as well.

HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

hi:
screen capture questions:
1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
thankyou

If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
And of course there are other apps...

QuickView: How can I change the default full screen width of PDFs and JPGs

Hello,
I am very happy with the changes on the new OSX Lion. But I have a disappointment form QuickView. On Snow Leopard I will hit the "Option+Space" to QuickView files (mostly pdf and jpg) on full width and just scroll up and down with the mouse or the arrow keys. Now in Lion, when I press "Option+Space" I get the file on full height. This does not work for me because the information on screen is too small and I end up having to open the file on Preview.
How can I change this settings so they are like on Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance.

Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

How can I change the default start-up date for a new functional location?

Is there a way to change the default date when creating a functional location? Whenever we create a new functional location, there is a date populated in the start-up date field. This date is our go-live date from last year and I cannot find the location in the IMG (if there is one) to stop the date from automatically populating with the date from the superior functional location. I tried setting the field from input to required but the date still populates automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to leave the start-up date field blank when creating a new functional location?

That field is generally picked up from the immediate superior FL in the hierarchy through the inheritance functionality.You will have to overwrite this date.I dont think you can clear this field through Configuration functionality.
If you are in Ecc 6.0, you could get the help of developer to use implicit enhancement to initialize the field contents.

Can we change the label of Java Web start at the time of downloading applic

can we change the label of Java Web start at the time of downloading application?
At the time of downloading application(jar files) java web start shows "Downloading Application" lable on it window , so can we change it so some other..

The 'splash' screen might be of interest to you.
Here is the quick description from the FAQ.
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/faq.html#206>
Section 3.5 of the JNLP Spec. has more details on using a splash screen for an application.
(But if you mean changing the very first screen seen when downloading an application the first time, the answer is 'no'.)
Late addendum..
By the way - now I review your question, I note you stress 'while jars are downloading'.
There is another strategy you might take. Mark most of the application jar's as 'lazy' download, get the main GUI on-screen quickly, then use the JNLP API's DownloadService to fetch the rest of the jars, after the application is running.
This has the advantage that, then we can have complete control of whatever is shown on the screen during the bulk of the downloads. We might show ..a 'splash screen', or a dialog with the application name on it, or a progress dialog, ..or any combination of the three.

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

Message was edited by: angana

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.
