Can You Alter The Contrast Of Toolbar, Sidebar Icons?

Especially in Mail and Safari. With the grey background of the toolbars and sidebars themselves the icons barely stand out. In Firefox most ot the toolbar icons are fairly bold and easier to see, but in the native Mac apps they are so dull it's difficult for me to make them out. I don't have a machine in the house that still has Snow Leopard to compare but it seems to me that all the icons got smaller and lost whatever color or contrast they had. Besides the current glitches in the OS I really don't like the look of the applications as they are now. The only things that stand out and are easily visible are the three red, yellow, green window buttons.

Thanks. i remember my first experience with an Apple computer was on OS 10.2 Jaguar. I remember thinking how much more vivid everything looked compared to Windows machines at the time. That really sold me on the whole Apple experince. This seems like a big step back, smaller, unalterable hard to read fonts and icons. Ugh!

  • How can I alter the contrast in the display of my email inbox?

    I use gmail, and the contrast on the inbox page is very weak - can't see black dividing lines, for example, and when a line is highlighted it barely shows up. How can I adjust the contrast of the display?

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • Can you alter the JVM heap space size for all Windows users?

    Hi,
    I have used the "-Xmx" option to increase the Java Heap space for my Java application. This works fine, but all other users on my system still have the default heap space setting and I want them to have use an increased heap space as well. I cannot alter the JVM heap space at the command line since our Java application is started via an ActiveX bridge from a Windows application.
    So far I have found one potential, but not really good solution; I have figured out that I can copy the deployment.properties file containing the altered JVM heap setting from the "Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder in my own Windows "Documents and Settings" folder to the same folder of another user. However, this is not a really good solution since we are running a system with about 60 users and often new user accounts are created and sometimes people forget to copy the deployment.properties file.
    Does anyone know a better solution. I've tried to search the Windows registry or the JRE files for a default JVM heap space setting but I can't find it anywhere. Still on some systems the default is 64Mb and on others 96Mb, so I guess there must be a setting somewhere?

    The following is my eclipse.ini:
    -vmargs
    -Xms256m
    -Xmx512m
    -Dfuego.fstudio=true
    -DprodMode=preProduction
    -Dbea.home=C:\bea\albpm6.0\studio\..
    -Djava.endorsed.dirs=""
    -XX:PermSize=256M
    -XX:MaxNewSize=256M
    -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
    but i think this configuration just effect the eclipse, not embed bpm engine. I also change the engine preference, increase the heap size, but engine crash as before.
    I want to change the jvm from jdk to jrockit, i hope any suggest.

  • In a slidewhow in iPhoto '11, can you alter the font size, color, and alignment of your descriptions?

    Putting together a slide show in iPhoto versoin '11 and want the descriptions I wrote to show up on the images!  No worries, simple to do!  However, I don't like the font color, alignment of text, and size of text.  Is this a fixed thing and can't be changed?  I have looked everywhere to try to alter this info!  I do see you can add a text over each photo...however I've already added it into the descriptions and want to try to get around re-entering all the info!! Also that text has its limitations!!! Still can't seem to give that the alignment I want!!
    I am NOT u sing my iPad for this...as it states below.  It can't even use this basic program!!

    Hi Teri.
    You certainly can change the "None" style but I think it is not good to leave text in topics with no style assigned to it. When assigning things like bullets using the formatting toolbar icon it applies a "None" style forcing you to select a style (e.g. Normal). See here for further details (look in the RH8 section).
    If you want to change the "None" style, expand the "Other" styles section of your CSS file. In there is a "Background + Text [Body]" style that can be changed. It is this style that is used by the "None" style.

  • CAN YOU ALTER NAT SETTINGS ON THE AIRPORT EXTREME

    Can you alter the NAT settings on the airport extreme by any chance and if possible, how do you do this please.
    Kind regards in advance.

    Really confused here so I will start at the begining.
    Right now I can access xbox live but only talk to certain friends and others cant hear me. This has been getting worse over the weekend. I can send messages no problem but I cant join a freinds game or chat but can send them messages.
    Everything worked like a charm until I made some changes that are listed below
    Had the airport extreme connected via adsl then my g5 mac picks the signal wireless. The xbox has a wireless adaptor so that also worked like charm unitl my changes below.
    1, I upgarded to Tiger 2 weeks ago from panther
    2, Sent the old ethernet cable from the old xbox 1 that was still atached to the airport extreme into a joytech multi component switcher that has 6 ethernet ports linked to each component channel. We have 2 xbox 360's and a ps3 and a wii for the kids so not enough components out in the tv.
    3, Removed the ethernet cable out of the 360 and put the wireless adaptor back on, (after discovering the problem) re set the xbox to make it see the wireless bridge and now this..
    Confused, not as much as me
    Anyone please help as I have no idea what to do as I can talk to some people and not others.
    I ran a test on the 360 and it stated my nat SETTINGS ARE MODERATE, they should be less, is there a way of altering the NAT settings on a g5 mac or airport extreme??
    Really be happy for any advice or help from you all.
    Thanks for trying

  • Can't Open File Explorer -- How can I reset the Quick Access Toolbar from outside of File Explorer?

    First of all, this is not a virus. This is my a bug within windows explorer itself.
    So, I added the properties button to the QAT, and it displayed it as an expandable menu, like this: ";" but with small arrows like this: ">". didn't want this, I wanted to click on it and immediately display the properties of the file
    to me. So, I hovered over it, right-clicked on "Properties" in this menu and added it to the QAT. Of course, this crashes File Explorer. Now whenever I try and open it, it crashes, so I have to assume that the corrupted button has been saved.
    So, my question is: How do I reset the QAT from OUTSIDE of file explorer? Regedit magic? Any ideas?
    Thanks for stopping by,
    Trolleyman.
    Edit: Just so you know, I can navigate through my systems files using the 7-zip file manager. Phew.

    Thanks from me  too, Niki. This first happened with Windows 8.0 File Manager a week ago,, and despite much research I couldn't  discover the cause so eventually I resorted to restoring  the system drive from backup (luckily I make daily backups, 
    so didn't lose   much  work).
    Without  knowing the cause  a  few days later I again tried to alter  the Quick Access  Toolbar  and the problem reappeared.  Should  I again resort to restoring the entire system drive, the thought horrified me. But
    luckily while doing a bit more research prior to resorting to the same drastic recovery, I cane  across this post  of yours and it worked!
    It doesn't  seem  to be  happening with Office 2007's   or  Wordpad's  Quick Access Toolbar,  so presumably it's a File Explorer bug  (a.k.a. Windows Explorer in Windows 7, of course). Have Microsoft recorded this as
    a  bug -- if not,  why not  -- and when  are they coming up with a fix?

  • How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

    How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

    Safari bookmark bar is viewed by clicking on the book icon on the far left side of the bar, and selecting the Bookmarks Bar Collection.
    Drag bookmarks and folders into the Bookmarks bar Collection or directly into the bookmarks Bar if you want them to appear there.   You can edit them right on the spot by clicking on them once.
    If you mean the Dock, the translucent bar that starts at the bottom of the screen (which you can put on the side of the screen), just drag items to the left side of the Dock's divider that are applications you wish to keep a shortcut to.  Folders to the right side.   When you minimize a window with the yellow control, it minimizes to the same side of the divider as the folders and documents you might drag to the Dock.   Note, the Dock is only a shortcut.  Many mistake it for a folder.  It is not.     If you want your application to be dragged out of a DMG you just double clicked, drag it to your Hard drive -> Applications folder.  Dragging it to the Dock will only make it inaccessible when you dismount the image.  And when you trash the image, the application is gone.  Only if you store it in your Hard drive -> Applications folder is it safe.
    If you mean the Finder window left sidebar just drag items into it between the icons already there. Your Finder menu's Preferences allows you to select default folders and devices to show there.

  • I keep getting the box that asks "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple Computers. It asks Save to my Yahoo! ID, or No thanks, just save to this computer. How do I get rid of this one way or the other?

    When I log on to Firefox, I get this block that pops up saying, "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? It has 2 buttons asking "Save to my Yahoo! ID or No thanks, just save to this computer" It drops down from the Yahoo toolbar, next to the Y! on the left side of the tool bar. I have tried the Save button and no response, I tried the No thanks button no response. I tried the underlined "Learn more" and it too no response. I tried the close X but that does not get rid of this box. I tried right clicking and no response. It stays there through out while working on the mail, I cannot access the that toolbar so I cannot use the buttons on this tool bar. Please help or I will have to try another browser to see if it go away.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can you change the Itunes library? I updated it, and chose the wrong library, and now I can't change it helppppppp pleasee!!! D: ;(

    This *****! I updated my Itunes, and it asked me to choose a library, and I chose the wrong one, and now I can't change it. What am I supposed to do now?

    Firstly, I caution your approach to allow users to alter the orientation of the report. Crystal Reports doesn't adapt too well when the orientation is modified. You'll end up with fields dropped off on the right hand side of the report, or with a large gap on the right. Our engine doesn't do any auto adjusting of fields when you alter the orientation.
    In order to see the changes it is best to re-load the page and get a new viewer. You can choose to store the ParameterFields in a Session variable for re-use on the post back so your users aren't re-prompted for values.

  • Pop up box in yahoo mail won't close, asks "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" has option buttons but no response when clicking on anything, pop up box just sits there in the way

    whenever I open my yahoo mail when using Firefox, a pop up box appears on the upper left side of the screen, it asks the question "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" and gives click boxes for "Save to my yahoo ID" and "No thanks, just save to this computer". I get no response to clicking on either box, nor will the pop up close if I click on the "X" in the upper right corner of this pop up. It won't close out and it sits right over the top of the email messages in my inbox. All else seems to work fine, but can't get rid of this pop up box....very annoying.

    go mail.yahoo.com as the login entrance for yahoo mail.

  • Can you edit the RTF layout manually WITHOUT using wizards?

    Hi,
    In Oracle Reports we can edit the layout in the layout editor. I.e. we can add fields, repeating frames and drag the objects to any position we want. Can you do the same in BIP, instead of using a wizard?
    Is it recommended? Or should we always only the wizards provided by the BIP Menu?
    Thanks & Regards,
    C.S.

    I mentioned XML only becasue you will need to be familiar with your XML data stream (i.e. the elements avalaible for use inyour RTF template), if you are not using the BIP toolbar, as you will not be able to choose them from a list, like you can with the toolbar.
    There are aspects of XSL you will eventually require but these can be picked up as you go by reading on this forum and others Blogs, and the BIP user guide of course. (You get the user guide when you install the toolbar!)
    Regards,
    Dave

  • Can you change the wording of a text that someone sent you ?

    my sister sent someone a text , they in turn showed me on their phone with her name/number at the top of the feed  to prove she said something to this person about this certain subject . She is denying everything in this text and said he altered it to show me what he wanted me to see . Can you change the wording on a text sent from someone in their feed with their name/number at the top of the feed? Does this make sense ? What I do know is , you can copy and paste and change the wording when sending that text to someone else , but he showed me his own phone with these incriminating texts.

    No you can't

  • Can you shorten the google bar at the top so it doesn't always cover up the personas?

    This is a minor problem, but most of the personas have a graphic in the right corner and the google search bar always covers it up. Can you shorten the bar? I know this sounds inconsequential, but it seems to always cover the right side where the graphic is.
    Thanks~

    You can add Space elements at the right of the search bar in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to make the search bar move to the left.

    okay i want to go to smart phone with 2 year contract. i am wavoring between the 2g to 4g plan. verizon has decided not to chat with me for the moment. because i'm annoying. my question is, can i alter the G factor as i go if i need more need less and leave everything else the same?

    you can start out low and increase your data allowance as you need throughout the month, backdating it to the beginning of the billing cycle so you don't have overages; however, I found out the hard way that you cannot decrease your data allowance during the month and backdate it so you don't overpay for unused data.
    what I do now is reset my data allowance to 2GB at the beginning of every bill cycle and then increase it if I get warnings that I'm going to go over... and I check it 3 days before my bill cycle ends to see if I think I might need to bump it up before the end of the bill cycle
    it's annoying, but otherwise I end up paying thru the nose for overages or overpaying for data I don't use
    BTW, I'm on the More Everything plan, which is the same plan you'll get unless you go Edge (where you pay the full price for the phone but don't get the 2-year commitment to it)

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.
