Changing applications' font settings on-the-fly

Hey everybody,
I'm using Arch on the 13.3" laptop (with awesome wm as window manager). Frequently I plug in an 21" external monitor via HDMI cable. Because of this difference all the font I setted up for laptop's screen look enormous on external monitor.
It's easy to change font's sizes by altering a bunch of configs for different types of applications (~/.Xresources, ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine, ~/.config/Trolltech.conf etc.), but the changes wont apply until the X server is restarted. Unfortunately, that means a loss of all the applications running.
Is there a way to reapply gtk, qt configs without restarting applications or without restarting X server?
Thanks.

It's the difference in screen resolution that matters, not the difference in screen size. If the external monitor has a lower resolution than the laptop display, the fonts will appear larger because the same number of pixels occupy a larger physical area (the pixels themselves are bigger). You can use lxappearance like xero suggested, but it changes fonts for everything, so if you use the laptop display and external monitor simultaneously the fonts on the laptop display will be changed as well.

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Change application font size in Thunderbird 3.

How can I change the font size in Thunderbird 3? The bold fonts are to bold and the general font size is to big I think.
I have tested with creating a chrome folder in the default profile. The userChrome.css looks like this. But it didn't work.
* Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
* This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
* override default settings.
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */
* Some possible accessibility enhancements:
* Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
* font-size: 20pt !important
/* Global UI font */
font-size: 6pt !important;
EDIT: Seems like the bold font is a more global problem. This is from Firefox
I have installed the ubuntu patched fonts. My ~/.fonts.conf looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<test compare="more" name="weight">
<const>medium</const>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint">

Yes of course. My bad.
Here it is. Some of the entries don't have a corresponding entry in conf.avail. I accidentally deleted 10-autohint.conf from conf.avail when I meant to delete it in conf.d. Ho do I get it back?
Have tested lxappearance to change the font in GTK applications. Works, but the boldness is not looking very good yet.

Editing plug-in settings on the fly...

OK, so I'm starting to get used to this program, starting to grasp the automation. Now, I've been able to save settings onto plugins where I want the plugin set to at certain points. Is there a way for me to, say, instantly set the automation to match a particular setting? As in, change the settings of the plugin from one setting to another on the fly during the playback, without having to set each automation bit seperately?

Hey Oni,
I just write that a couple of timeson other posts, here's once more:
Open the plug-in, on channel strip change the off or read to TOUCH,
press play and press (you can bring down the tempo, just to get more time on your moves) Bypass button (on plug-in) (ORANGE in every area you don't need it) click on it again (GRAY in the areas you want the effect)
stop change to READ and the automation's done.
You can do this with every parameter too, in your case it's probably the best solution, every touch on the plug-in slider will write a different automation, and you can recall it from the menu, the best way to do it in my advive if you have several slides too change is do it in loop mode and every time (pass) you deal with one.
Nice? :o)
cheers,
Jorge

Losing Title Bar when changing Look and Feel on the fly

Hello,
I have an option in my Swing app for the user to change the Look & Feel on the fly by selecting from a radio button list. The look and feel is changed when the user make the selection, however the Windows Title Bar disappears. Any ideas what I'm missing?
private void setLook(String mode)
String lookAndFeelClassName = null;
UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looks[] = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
for (int i = 0; i < looks.length; i++)
if (mode.equalsIgnoreCase(looks.getName()))
lookAndFeelClassName = looks[i].getClassName();
break;
try
m_view.dispose();
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeelClassName);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(m_view);
m_view.setVisible(true);
catch (Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(m_view, "Can't change look and feel:" + lookAndFeelClassName, "Invalid PLAF", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

You are disposing the view. My guess is that this is your problem. Try creating a new one instead of just showing the old disposed one

Font Activation On-the-Fly

I've made a real effort to slim down my number of active fonts in Leopard. This really helps shorten the launch times of applications like Microsoft Word. But along the way, I probably disabled some fonts I shouldn't have.
Periodically, Safari (for example) will ask me if I'd like to temporarily enable a font (ie. Georgia). I click "Allow", but I'm not sure how to respond to the other check-box, "Don't ask again".
If I select "Allow" and "Don't Ask Again", does this mean Safari will always allow the font activation? Or will this make Safari activate the font for the very last time - with no future warnings? I'd much prefer the former, but I'm not sure which behavior I'll get. Anyone have an idea?

Sudden change of font settings!?

Changing defauklt font size in the Safari and in text menu

II want to change the font size as in the img at the url http://www.andreabersi.com/up/1.jpg. But how do it (i am beginner with Leopard and with MAC )? Thank you

There is no way at this stage to change the font size in Menus or on toolbars.
If the text is too small to see clearly the options under System Preferences > Universal access > Seeing > Zoom Options could help.
Smaller or bigger? change the computers resolution if possible or send feedback to Apple

How do i undo my changes in sequence settings? (the frame size)

I have ran into a very frustrating problem. I have FCP 7 and my footage i am editing is HDTV 1080i. With this footage i have to change the frame size to 1440 by 1080 and in another instance i change it to another frame size. The problem is that i made a mistake with one of the frame sizes and i dont know how to undo the mistake. If i enter in a new frame size, the video will only add on to my mistake frame size instead of replacing it. The only way i see fixing this is redoing everything...but there has to be an easier way...any help?! Or am i unclear?

Select the clips that aren't filling the frame correctly, and then right click on one of them to select "remove attributes". From the dialog box that will open, select "basic motion" then click OK. This should take care of your problem if I'm reading this correctly.

Changing pop up properties on the fly

Hi all
I am stuck with a problem.
Description of what I have:
I have a MainVI which calls a SubVI. The SubVI is dependant on the MainVI for certain inputs. In other words, it would give an error if I called the SubVI alone. Also, there is a condition before we reach the part of the code that executes the SubVI. In other words, the SubVI does not execute as soon as I run the MainVI
Description of what I want to implement:
What I want to do is, I want a switch on the MainVI, such that, when I trigger it ON anytime, I can SEE the SubVI popup (Please not, the SubVI should not execute, as it would give an error)
and when I switch it OFF anytime, the SubVI popup should disappear.
Problems I am encountering:
1. I cannot change the 'Window appearance' properties of the SubVI as I need it appear/hide as per the control of the switch.
2. I have tried using the property 'State', but that only works when the SubVI is executed. But i want to just see the SubVI, even before it is executed
Please help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is an example. The core functionality is here. you have to decide how to pass the subVI reference. I put in a delay and a toggle for this example (toggle to snap the "run subVI" action back to false, not sure why the snippet makes that property node look funny).
I'm guessing there are some additional ways or considerations, but this example has the VI open and close the front panel without running the Sub. Then you can run the sub too. Of course your VI will "get to " the subVI some other way.
You can run the snippet, but you will need the SubVI, so I attached both files also. Also, change the directory for the SubVI path.
The show front panel = True has the method FP.Open.
Ok, the snippet took my property for the boolean and changed it to a reference, weird, but understandable.

How to change IR font size (only) dynamically

Hi,
On blog http://www.danielmcghan.us/2009/01/that-font-is-too-small.html, there was a nice example how to change IR font size on the fly.
Some how seems that this is not working new Responsive 25 theme, which is not having "td" . So could anyone help me.
I'd like to add some saving ability to some table (user preferences table) ... sou please expand that example if possible.
For that I made it on Apex cloud demo: FONT_SIZE_ADJ_APP

PWD: Qwertz123!
THX in advance for your help.

Th actual code from the working example looks different from the blogpost
May be worth trying this code (in your page template)
<td style="white-space:nowrap">(-) Save / Reset (+)</td>For saving this into a custom user preferences table:
- you can amend the application process RETURN_NOTHING to insert/update using the item FONT_SIZE_ADJ
And add computation to set the value into FONT_SIZE_ADJ from the user preferences table for the first time when users login

Change Output Device Settings @ Runtime?

This will sound silly, but there is a good reason for it :). Also, I am not much of an ABAPer.
We have a requirement to change output device settings on the fly in a program. For instance, in case A, we would like to use the output device as it was originally configured in SPAD. However, in case B, we would like to override the output device's access method and host dynamically in code.
Is there any function module or technique that can change these output device properties via code at runtime (printtime)?
Thanks,
Kris
