Change display size imac
how do I change the resolution of the screen on a imac?
Open your Applications folder>System Preferences>Displays>select the "Display" tab>check the "Scaled" box>that will bring up the various Resolution selections.

At some point my ability to add sites from the new tab page, change site displayed sizes, etc. has stopped working. I liked this feature. What changed or what am I doing wrong?
Do you still see the about:newtab page with the 3x3 tiles?
Did you modify the number of rows and columns on this page?

SteSize(w,h) doesn't change displayed sizes
After setSize(w,h) both getWidth() and setHeight() return the proper numbers but visibly on the screen, the dimensions do not change. Code, extracted from the live ap, is compilable.
Using the code below, and clicking "Rotate" button demonstrates this. System.out.println() shows that the sizes have changed internally, but visibly, they do not change. (also nothing shows up at all until the first time "Rotate" is clicked. That, the wrongly clipped border, and the messed up rotation clipping and text placement are separate issues.)
What's wrong here? FWIW: Nearly identical code applied to a JLabel with an image works perfectly. If it works correctly on a JLabel why does it mess up so badly on a JTextPane?
Java is a cool language, but as an old C++ programmer I also find it deeply mysterious (and mystifying) at times.
Thanks in advance for any clues or hints,

Change display size of plot area
I have a VI that is reading signals from 16 different channels. The signals recorded from each of the 16 channels are displayed on 16 different graphs. I want to be able to see all 16 channels at the same time, in case anything interesting happens on any one of them, so each graph is fairly small.(See the attached screenshot.)
When something interesting does happen, I want to be able easily resize the entire plot area to cover most of the screen--perhaps with the click of a mouse. I would then like to be able to put it back to normal size--perhaps also with a single click of the mouse, or something equivalently as easy.
Simply zooming in on the "interesting region" will not do.
Is there a way to easily resize plot areas--b
y pushing a single button on the keyboard or mouse?
Attachments:
labview-screenshot.jpg 117 KBI would do it like this: Have a main loop that updates the graphs. Have a second loop that has an event structure that looks for button presses. If the user clicks on a graph, the second loop launches a second VI. This VI has its properties set to show front panel when called (File -> VI Properties... -> Windows Appearance -> Customize...) and Close afterwards if originally closed. It front panel basically just your graph and a waveform graph reference (which I hide). It has a loop and an event structure that keeps updating until the graph is clicked. When the graph is clicked, the VI closes. Your original VI needs to keep updating during this and it updates the big graph through a control reference. I have attached an examp

I have to scroll horizontally to see a full screen. Is there a setting to fix this problem? Also, any way to resize the display in Chrome? In Windows, I can grab the edge of the page and drag it to fill the screen.
System Preferences>Displays>Display Tab>Scaled Button and choose another resolution. The one at the top of the list is the 'recommended' setting.

I am faced with a weird problem that has made my life miserable while using my Lenovo T430 machine.

Can someone please help me restore the settings to normal. I would be truly grateful.In addition to the above is there a list of shortcut key combos that work with the trackpad in this particular model? I would idebted for life is someone can help me out here.

After I disconnect from the cinema display and than a few minutes later open up the macbook without the display connected, things are fine. But re-connecting to the display, all the screens are moved and/or changed in size. Anybody any ideas ?
I'm currently sitting in my office using my MBP and looking at a 24" Samsung display. At home I replaced my 4 year old iMac with a 2 year old 13" MBP which is connected to a similar display. That should be tell you all you need to know!

I used to have a +.- displayed in upper left corner to click and change text size. My sister used my computer and now I can no longer find this feature
Do you still have all toolbars visible (View > Toolbars)?
Did you use an extension or the standard zoom buttons that you can find in the toolbar palette in the View > Toolbars > Customize window ?
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily. -

My next iMac-- which graphics card; which display size?
Hi all,
I'd like some advice in choosing my next iMac, specifically regarding the graphics card and the display size.
Graphics Card:
I'm not a gamer nor am I doing any 3D animation. Is there any other reason to upgrade the graphics card? I DO want the best possible video playback (QT movies), but I don't know if the graphics card has any bearing on video playback quality.
Display size:
Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, do any of the three displays sizes (17,20,24) have any history of being better or more reliable?
Thanks in advance for any tipsYour needs will better dictate which model is best.
Video playback of QuickTine movies will not be affected by upgrading to the 24" with the nVidia chip.
No 3D gaming or animation means no need for a higher end graphics card. In my case, the x1600 ATi in the original Core Duo 20" is more than sufficient for everything I've thrown at it so far including full resolution "Call of Duty".
For your use, you may not need the extra VRAM but I personally would bump it up to 256MB though. Adding an external monitor will split the total VRAM between the two monitors and with Apple continually moving a lot of Mac OS X's graphical features to the GPU, the extra memory may be a blessing.
Display Size:
I believe that reliability between the three models is pretty much the same.
The advantage to the 24" is, of course, the extra screen real estate and resolution. However The price difference between the 20" and 24" could allow you to go with the 20" model and add an external LCD for a dual screen setup (if space permits).
Weigh your needs - now and the immediate future - and then look at both models in person if possible. -

Change image size in web display of SRM MDM 3.0
Hello,
how can I change the size of the displayed images in the catalog?
I would like to display the image in the detail of the material data in the catalog larger.
The images are stored in in the repository.
Thanks for your help.
melanieYou can change this in the Web UI interface. In the Customize Display tab you can specify the size of you images to be displayed in pixel.
The UI interface that I'm talking about is where you change your OCI mapping, Search... etc
If you want to crop, resize your uploaded images you can do this in MDM Data manager.

Changing the size of images displayed when a thumbnail is clicked
In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked. There are sliders for changing the size of the thumbnail; I can't find an adjustment anywhere for the size an image is displayed when the curved arrow in the upper left hand corner is clicked.
Help!
--KenoliHi Kenoli,
In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked.
Do you mean "double-clicked"? In "Browser" mode, when I click on a photo, nothing changes. However, when I double-click on a photo, it switches to "Viewer" mode.
However, I'm missing the curved arrow that you mention. I can't find any photos with a curved arrow over them in any mode. In fact, the only overlays are the badges in the lower right.
Can you be a little more specific about exactly what mode you are in?

I have Photoshop cs6 Ext on an ASUS laptop. How can I increase the font size of the contents of the FILTER Panel situated on bottom left of screen. The font size is extreamly small and almost unreadable. I have changed display parameters, not the resolution, to no avail.
David.Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.
