Change default zoom for Safari

I have a 11" MBA and find there are two much blank space on both sides.  Can someone advise me how to change the default zoom level.  Thanks!

I implemented the MacWorld suggestion.  I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63) and Safari 6.0.1 (7536.26.14).  I found that the 'global' zoom changes were problematic — meaning that on some web sites the new override zoom setting was correct but on others the override zoom changes were not.  I do not have time to research the web pages in question to see if there was a common denominator for this inconsistency.
Moreover, when I tried to change my zoom setting a second time, Safari 'flashed' the new setting momentarily and then immediately displayed the first setting as noted above.  Deleting the CSS file reference within Safari preferences had no effect on how Safari displayed each web page - nor did moving/deleting the CSS file itself.  I also tried the following with no effect this behavior:
Stop/start of Safari
Reseting Safari
Rebooting my MBP
Resetting OS X file permissions from 644 username staff to 777 root wheel
My 'fix' was to move/delete the $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist file so that this file was recreated by Safari the next time I started this app.  I surmised that somehow OS X was retaining the first CSS file override zoom setting but not updating it with subsequent changes (or deletions).  Be forewarned that by regenerating this plist some Safari customizations (toolbar, etc.) will be lost.
I hope this information will help others moving forward...

  • Change Defaults Settings for Safari

    Since I upgraded to the New Mountain Lion, the Default Settings for my Safari browser is Bay City. How do I change this where I live?

    HI Norm,
    Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
    Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
    If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
    I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
    You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.

    Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
    Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

  • How to change default thresholds for some metrics of all targets.

    Hi!
    We have a lot of servers which have to work hard.
    So, our OEM very often generates messages like these:
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora90.tsb.kz - CPU Utilization is 99.95%, crossed warning (80) or critical (95) threshold."
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - Disk Device c8t60A9800043346C384C344A4A63516D6Ad0(ssd4) is 99.7% busy."
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - CPU Load (Run Queue Length averaged over 5 minutes) is 20.78, crossed warning (10) or critical (20) threshold."
    I need to change default tresholds for mentioned metrics but I can't their defenition in SYSMAN.MGMT_*-tables or suitable settings in OEM GUI.
    And I have no time to edit treshholds manually for each target. )

    Modification of Metric Thresholds (as this is what you are referring to), should be done using the Metrics and Policy Settings link (to be found in the Target Home page).
    Don't mess around with the SYSMAN tables!
    Best thing to do here is to start using Monitoring Templates for this.

    Hi Jim,
    yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
    I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • [Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

    Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
    setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

  • How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

    I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen.  How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

    The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
    Open textedit and create a new document.
    Add the following 3 lines to the file
    body {
    zoom: 175%
    Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
    In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
    In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
    That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.

  • Change Default Zoom

    I bought an iMac (21.5in) for my mom. She loves it. But one problem is that she is older and can't read the small text. I've been able to make the fonts bigger in Safari.
    But for Pages '09, how do I make the default zoom 150%? I thought that the default zoom was 125%. But whenever I open a new pages document, it opens at 100% which is WAY TOO SMALL for my mother to read.
    I tried making a new template, zooming in to 150%, then saving it as a custom template. Then going to Preferences and selecting my Custom Template. But it doesn't work.
    Frustrating...
    Am I missing something or is it not possible to change the default zoom of new pages documents? It not, why not???? This seems like such a basic thing that Apple can do.
    Thanks!!!

    Chris,
    Visit the menu: Pages > Preferences > Rulers > Default Zoom, and set your preferred zoom there.

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?

    Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

    I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
    *You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
    *You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
    *In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.

    You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".
