you can change the language for your account to english. then all the system menus in all apps and all popups will be in english. go to system preferences->language and text->language and drag English to be the top language. then log out/in.

listeners?? I have no idea what you mean by this either.

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.

Change font of dialog box

I am using JOptionPane as dialog box for my application.
Could anybody tell me how to change the font properties of JOptionPane?
Thanks a lot.

I've tried a lot of ways to change the font of the Labels and Buttons in JOptionPane.
But I still can't change the Input Dialog.
Here is the way that I change the fonts of buttons of JOptionPane:
String message;//Message to display
String title;//Title of the dialog
Icon icon;//Icon to display
JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane(msg,JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, icon, new Object[] {"Yes", "No"}, "No");
//panel1 is the panel that holds the buttons
JPanel panel1 = (JPanel)op.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleChild(1);
//the panel that holds labels is op.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleChild(0);
//but labels can use embedded HTML, that's more easier than doing like this.
//then get the components that you want to change.
//get the first button
JButton btnYes = (JButton)panel1.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleChild(0);
//get the second button
JButton btnNo = (JButton)panel1.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleChild(1);
//then set the font, here I set them different to show that it does work!
btnYes.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 0, 11));
btnYes.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 0, 12));
//then show the dialog...
op.createDialog(null, title).setVisible(true);
But it seems rather ugly...and I can't do this to the input dialog, because
i don't know how to create a JOptionPane instance for input component(TextField
or ComboBox), but just write JOptionPane.showInputDialog(....) as a default one.

Changing Framemaker (8) dialog box size(s)

We are using Framemaker 8.
We have run into a problem because our files are embedded many layers down on our servers. If we move a folder, when Frame tries to relink the graphics (we always import as reference), the path name is ALWAYS truncated....not only is the path truncated, but sometimes the filename itself is cut off (we often have long file names).
We were looking for a way to enlarge the dialog box...someone told us to check in the maker.ini file but (even according to the Customizing Frame Products document) all it seems you can do is change the position of the dialog, not the size.
Even doing a List of References doesn't always show the full pathname properly.
If anyone has any solutions, please let me know.

RE: the Frame 7 dialog box modification from Klaus Daube...I emailed Klaus and here is his reply:
"You all have asked for an updated version of the UI-modifactions for FrameMaker 8. I have fed you with hopes to the end of 2008/beginning of
2009 ...
In the meantime Adobe has released FrameMaker 9 which introduces a new user interface. IMHO it is very good although it needs some releraning (and still has its bugs). Some of the new dialogs (called pods, they are dockable palettes) looking quite similar to my modifications - so Adobe has heared the message. Other dialogs from the 'old' dialogue system are not modified to the user's benefit and I will look into these.
You will understand that with these circumstances I will not modifiy FM-8 dialogs and concentrate on the new FM-9. There are still annoyances in this UI, but this is common to x.0 releases and we must wait whether our complaints are heard.
Thank You for Your interest in my work and keep using FrameMaker, which IMHO _is_ the most valuable program for technical documentation (although I'm not a DITA enthusiast).
Klaus Daube
PS: If I really get fed up with the big annoyances of FM-9 (no indication what program/window is active; no title bar with the name of the active document ...) It may be possible that I will sit down for some days (about 50h) to tweak the FM-8 dialogs according to my previous work. But I can not promise anything."
RE: The ResHacker program at http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
I (Jackie) was able to open the fmdlg.dll and find the dialog box in question, and even change the width of it. However, upon saving the new DLL and placing it in the correct folder (yes we saved a copy of our original file), I received the message from Frame "fmdlg.dll is either missing or corrupted". Not sure if having a new save date is what causes the error...any additional advice????

What is the keyboard shortcut for changing buttons in dialog box?

What is the shortcut to choose another button with the keyboard?
In the example below, I just want to switch from "Don't Add" to "Add".

Thanks! That worked perfectly. I wonder why that isn't the default?
So now I can tab to the other button and press space to select, excellent.

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

"PDF Modification Detected" dialog box

When I attempt to open certain PDFs in Illustrator (up to and including CS5.1), I get a dialog box with the title 'PDF Modification Detected' and the text 'This document has been modified outside of Adobe Illustrator.'
I can't work out what it is about these PDFs that causes this dialog box to open (most PDFs don't cause it, including ones that have been edited using programs other than Illustrator). Discarding changes does indeed discard certain changes.
The dialog box appears even where the file is opened using a script that suppresses dialogs. This together with the icon makes me think that this is a really old piece of code that's being triggered in a different way from most dialogs. Does anyone have any idea of what causes this dialog to appear, and if there's any way to take it into account (e.g. setting a default answer) in scripting or batch processing?

It could be that this is just caused by out-of-sync timestamps on the file.
But possibly you've got a bigger problem. PDFs generated by Illustrator may in fact contain two files: a PDF and an AI. WHen you open them in Illustrator, the AI will be edited (and the PDF will be updated when saving). When opening them in other software, the PDF part will be edited (and the AI won't be updated). Illustrator realizes this and warns you.
You know your files, you'll have to find out what happened.

Dialog box position problem

Hi everyone,
I've got a simple problem : when I enter in my Portal in hebrew language, the dialog box position is not respected.
I used the dialog.setWindowPosition(x, y)
and dialog.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER)
but the window always appears behind the navigation of the Portal.....which is half readable.
Can someone please help with that issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
Here is the code :
IWDConfirmationDialog dialog = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow("Hello world" , wdThis.wdGetAPI().getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("OK"), "Ok");
dialog.setWindowPosition(10,10);
dialog.open();
The position (10, 10) does not do anything...the window is display in the center.
Thanks
NB : I want to correct something : the issue is also relevant if I enter in my Portal in english language.

I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

Keyboard input to change the default selection in a dialog box.

Hello,
Let say I close a file that I had just edited without saving. I'll then have a dialog box "do you want to save?" with "yes" as default. If I do not want to save my changes, how can I select "no" or "cancel" with the keyboard?
I'm sure this is an easy one for a long time Mac user.
Thanks

As a matter a fact there is. Just hit the first letter of the choice n = no, c=cancel etc. Edit. I tested this in Word for Mac and it worked but other programs don't so the method below is best.
An alternate method is to tab to the choice and hit enter.
Cheers

TS1389 when i changed my browser to IE 8, I am no longer able to play the songs I purchased. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it? The box has an old apple ID . How do I get

I try to play the Itunes song I purchased. I have a new computer, another internet provider since I purchased the songs, and have switched to a new internet browser Internet Explorer 8. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play the song. would you like to authorize it?
An old Apple ID popps up and I am asked for the old passwork which I no longer remember. I successfully changed to a new Apple ID and password.
when I enter that, a new dialog box appears, saying "this computer is already authorized." When I try to play the song the first box appears again,
I I go round over and over, with no success playing my songs. Can anybody out their resolve this? Thanks for any help

Were these songs purchased using another account?
" I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account. "
Do you mean to a new library?
Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
A library is your collection of media.

How I change the save image dialog box view from oldest to newest first as the default?

My save image dialog box has the oldest file in the folder in the upper left position (using list). I want to change it to the newest file shown first. It used to be that way, but now it showing oldest first. I haven't found any guidance on defaults for this box. Thanks.

Leave it to Apple. When I first got the phone, that's the way they were configured. Now that they've flipped around, there's now way to change it!

Dialog Box as "Do you want to save the changes?" in Forms.

Hi,
I have 4 datablocks in my forms that corresponds View.
In the form design, I have a canvas(multiple inserting design) with two buttons that calls the other two blocks.
Am inserting the records in the following way,
In first record,
am entering the value in one block, then a button-press event and so it opens another canvas where I enter some values then return to my main canvas. This is one row.
But while I try to insert in the second row, there arises the dialog box as "Do you want to save the changes"?
I should not get that dialog box.
Please suggest me with the solution.
Regards,
Mini

Thanks for the response,
Let me clearly explain.
I have 3 blocks created from view not table.
I have a canvas in the multiple display layout i.e Number of items displayed is 10.
In that canvas, I have set the two buttons. the button event is calling another canvas.
Am inserting a record in the first row in the following sequence.
Inserting the values for some fields in the main canvas, then entering the button, it opens another canvas that responds to another block, there am entering some values and closing the button event canvas, then returning to my main canvas, then entering the remaining fields with the values, thus my first row ends.
Now I want to enter the values in the second row, while I navigate from the first Row to the Second row, there arises the dialog box as to save the changes or not?
I should not get the dialog box.
Am inserting the values in the database using Insert statements in all the blocks.
Hope U understand the issue.
Suggest me with the solution.
Regards,
Mini.
