Can I make 10.10 look and feel like 10.6 ?

Hi ... I upgraded my late iMac mini 2009 (2.53Mhz) to 10.10 .
First, contrary to some posters on these boards, I would not recommend, 10.10 runs very slow .... you are much better off in an older OS (I would love to go back to 10.6)
Some advantages of 10.10 is that your machine is up to date with the world (where 10.6 is losing support in the real world).
My biggest gripe with 10.10 : is I can't find things, can't move things ... the finder window is useless ; the machine search in the middle of screen annoys me and limits information and options.
Is there any way I can make 10.10 feel and look more like 10.6 ?
thx

You can set SystemPreferences->Accessability->Displays to "increase contrast": check this one and then slide the contrast slider to the left completely.
There was a little app that recersed the scroll direction in the SnowLeopard period for people who did not want the scroll direction of Lion and later: you can try it https://pilotmoon.com/scrollreverser/
But it will still be very different from SnowLeopard.
Otherwise you can go back to SnowLeopard if your mac was built in the (Snow)Leopard time, like Pete suggests.

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the text messaging app, that would be a huge flop for apple. It has to look and feel like bbm or it will just suck.

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the current text messaging app, that would be a huge flop. I think I should look and feel like the bbm to make any kind of significant impact. Am I wrong?

"iMessage in iOS 5 brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to all of your iOS devices―iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Built right into the Messages app, iMessage allows you to easily send text messages, photos, videos or contact information to a person or a group on other iOS 5 devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. iMessages are automatically pushed to all your iOS 5 devices, making it easy to maintain one conversation across your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iMessage also features delivery and read receipts, typing indication and secure end-to-end encryption."
That is from the Apple site. If all your friends have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you cang share with your friends, with is exactly like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM only works on BBs).
And it does look just like the current message format. You can also find that at www.Apple.com

Problem about look and feeling

You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

Java Components and Look and Feel

Can anyone suggest a free look and feel that does not resemble the standard stuff that comes with the JDK?
Also, Swing seems to be missing some important components like dockable windows, and toolbars. Can anyone suggest some resource that offers interesting swing components?

Can someone suggest a good API for doing this stuff?
I would really like to consider using Java for some
e real world application, but the swing interface
makes applications look at least 15 years old.Really? My applications look like native windows applications (when run under Windows, at least). Try setting the native look and feel. Search the forum if you don't know how.

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.

Manually drop frames for stop-animation look and feel?

Hi, is there any way to manually drop frames in FCP? I need to make a scene (shot in mini-dv) look and feel like "stop motion animation". I was thinking if I could randomly drop frames and then slightly slow the footage down, it would give me the kind of "jary" effect of stop motion animation. And seing as dropping frames would essentially speed the fotage up, I would slow it down slightly to compensate. But individually dropping frames will take me forever!!! Is there a filter that can do this (FCP5)?
Thanks,
Lela

Here's another option...
Speed the clip (or sequence nested)up with no frame blending - FCP will drop frames. Experiment as using specific %s will do this for you.
Then go into Cinema Tools and conform back to 29.97... This will make it look faster -- then slow it down without using frame blending and FCP will just duplicate frames.
I've done this in Shake at it works great - I'm reaching just a bit that it will also work in FCP the same way.
Good luck,
CaptM

Swing disabled components look and feel problem.

Hi All,
I have a Swing application. My system is recently upgraded to JRE 1.6 and I'm facing problem with look and feel of swing components when they are disabled. Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4.
Thanks

..Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. Why is it so gosh-darned important to read the text on a control that is (supposedly) not relevant or not available?
..In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4. Here are some suggestions, some of them are actually serious. I'll leave it as an exercise for you, to figure out which ones.
- Run the app. in 1.4.
- Use a custom PLAF that offers a 'less faint' rendering of disabled components.
- Use Motif PLAF (I haven't checked, but I bet that has not changed since 1.4).
- Put the important text in a tool-tip.

Editing look and feel

Hi, we just started editing our itunes u site. We've seen the theme and templates settings but however much we try we can not see how we could create a look and feel like that of say MIT or OHIO. The course panels that I see on the home page have a look to them that isn't attainable through the edit theme options. Can anyone point out to me what I'm missing here?

Hello Jim,
you can do the following to get a default layout without the JSC styles:
1. Copy the defaulttheme.jar (folder: \build\web\WEB-INF\lib) into a new folder (e. g. \mydefaulttheme) and rename it to mydefaulttheme.jar. Open mydefaultheme.jar with Winzip.
2.Extract all the files into the same folder (\mydefaulttheme). You get a folder com.
3. Open css_ie55up.css and css_master.css in \com\sun\rave\web\ui\defaulttheme\css with an editor of your choice, delete the whole content and save the empty files.
4. Right click the com folder, choose Add to Zip file and add the modified files to mydefaultheme.jar.
5. In JSC click Tools/Library Manager. Click New Library ... and choose the Library Type Theme Libraries. Give your theme a name and add it with the Add Jar/Folder Button. You have to set the Classpath and the Runtime.
6. Choose Projects/Themes. Right click your theme and choose Set As Current Theme.
7. Finally create your own style sheet file in the resources folder and add it to the page ...

Make one bitmap have same "look and feel" as another

Hello community.
First time I am coming across this problem for a client.
He wants an old photograph (b/w, scanned) to be the "blueprint" for another one, which he just made with his digicam. The latter is of course quite different in lighting etc., but that's not what I am really worried about as I have the raw file so I can play around.
But is there a reasonably quick way to have that new digicam image have the same "look and feel" of that old, scanned image? I cannot post the image I am talking about (copyright issue), but if I had to make a new digicam image have the same "look and feel" of, say, such a picutre - what would I have to do?
Hints to simple techniques will do, because the pay for this job is close to lousy... :-(
Thanks all.

Download a "grunge" or "old photo" pic from stock xchange and put it on top of the photo in overlay or soft light mode. You can adjust the grunge layer with levels to make it a more neutral layer for blending. Use the dodge and burn tools to draw smudges on the photo, particularly lightening or darkening the edges of the photo. You can also use the blur brush to soften the image, except for around the face.

How can I include a JSP, Maximized, and retain look and feel(WSRP)

I have created a page group and defined a root page with a certain look and feel. There are two portlets on the page. Once the user clicks on a submit button, the portlet performs some action and includes a jsp included in the EAR file. The portlet needs to maximize the UI to display the jsp correctly.
Once control returns back to the screen, the look and feel is lost and uses Oracle's default style. I have two questions:
1. From the portlet, how can I retain the look and feel of the page group when referencing "external" jsp (i.e JSPs in the deployed portal EAR file).
2. How can I "redirect" the user to the home page in a standard way? If there is not a standard way, how do I use the Oracle specific utilities to do it?
All of my JSPs are developed externally out of the scope of the Oracle Portal.
Environment - Oracle Portal 10.1.4 on Release 2 using WSRP to contact Oracle Release 3, hosted EAR file (WSRP Producer).
Thanks in advance.

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.
Regards,
Guru.
PS: Give points for helpful replies.
