Can I change the skin of the interface?

Congratulations Apple on your new phone and watch.
I've been using your products for over 25 years now
However...
At one of the firmware upgrades, Apple chose to change the user interface in my iPhone to something that can only be described as minimalistic. The effect on my connection to my phone was that I became totally lost in the new interface.
My first impulse to this change was to throw the phone out of the window of a very tall building.
But since I had just shelled out USD 1000 for it I decided to hang on and try to get used to the desert in my phone's interface.
About a year later I still feel the same and now the desert is spreading to applications on my computer as well. The new version of calender is really giving me the creeps. If this stuff wasn't so expensive the tall building would indeed be a very compelling option.
After Google maps decided to have problems finding the server it wants to connect to, my use of the phone has shrunk to making phone calls and taking the occasional picture.
===
So, is there any way to change the skin on the interface to something more comfortable?
There is by far to much white in the current approach.
TIA
Hans

And since I seem to be unable to edit my reply as well I'll repost my reply.  
I know...
I've been on this forum or its various incarnations for over 20 years.
My question is indeed addressed to the users of this forum and not to Apple.
And since I can no longer edit the original message I'll rephrase:

    As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
    Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

    My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time?

    I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

    Another question. How do you bookmark something.  It was so easy before, why did they change it?  Can I uninstall it?

    it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
    are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

  • Can you add a skin to the video object?

    In as3, I've created my own video object to play an flv file. The code starts out something like this:
    var myVideo:Video = new Video(320,240);
    I would like to attach a .swf skin for it but cannot find any examples on how to do it. All examples are instructions for adding code to a instance of the FLVPlayback object.
    My question is can you only attach skins to the FLVPlayback object?
    Thanks

    To save time, I wanted to use the pre-built skins that are used for the FLV components. I guess to use those skins you need to use the FLV class and if you wanted create your own buttons you would use the generic Video object.

  • All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

    All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
    Thanking you in anticipation!

    I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
    To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
    Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
    I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module.  Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
    These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

  • VL02N-Delivery Quantity can be changed in standered by the user

    Hi Gurus
    In STO Scenario After Making The Delivery VL10B Replenishment Delivery in Background
    In Change mode Delivery VL02N Delivery Quantity can be changed in std by the user how can i stop the changing the delivery quantity what should i do
    please its my client requirement
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Balarengan
    I have searched in MM forum and found this thread which is relevant to your requirement
    Forum post in ERP - Logistics Materials Management (MM): STO - How to control Over delivery ?
    STO - How to control Over delivery ?
    hope this helps you
    SAP has a logic for not controlling the over delivery in STO  in standard (unlike sales order  to delivery we have the controls in Zero VLP or 0VLP for this) because STO happens between plants of a same company code or different company codes .The movement of stocks are between plants But in a normal sales the delivery happens to a customer who is actually a third person and hence a user can misuse the delivery quantity
    A plant and an external customer cannot be treated as same
    Hence in SAP standards over delivery is not controlled in standard settings like item category etc
    Regards
    Raja

    Apple ID (your e-mail address) that was used to purchase apps are forever tied to that Apple ID for updates.
    Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    You can change the e-mail address associated with the Apple ID below:

    Ip address really cannot become corrupt.. let me suggest you go into the setup and change the ip lease renewal time to as short as possible.
    You can actually set it to minutes.. so use say 5min.
    I would also change the DHCP range as well as that will then force all clients to renew to different IP.. and whatever is on the "corrupt IP" will be left behind.
    No factory reset is required..
