Changing maximized window drag sensitivity

While I love the new snapping features Windows 7 has, I find that it's too sensitive to drags when clicking titlebar of maximized windows - I often click a maximized window's titlebar, only to see the whole screen flicker as the window is restored, and then maximized again. It appears that the drag is currently initiated if the mouse is moved just 1 pixel in the vertical direction, which seems way too low to me - is it possible to change this to something saner?

Adobe Reader X: drag & drop maximized window

Hi,
I have a big problem with Adobe Reader X (latest version 10.1.2)
I can't drag and drop the maximized window to another (extended) desktop/monitor (I grab it with a left click on the windowbar and pull it to an extended monitor but nothing happens)
Can somebody verify this behavior?
I would really apprechiate any help...
Thanks in advance!
(OS: Windows Vista 32-bit)

I have the same problem and no solution

Compiled executable does not open in maximized window

I have attached a JPG showing the VI Properties that pertain to Window size. Despite the fact that I have indicated in Run-Time Position - Position: Maximized. The compiled executable does not open in a maximized window.
Even stranger, if I take the shortcut for the program and change it's properties (on the target machine) to Open Maximized, it still doesn't open maximized.
I have had this behavior with every compiled executable for a couple of years using versions of LabVIEW 8, 2010, 2011 and currently 2011 SP1. Both the compiling machine and the target machine are Windows XP.
Is there any explanation for this behavior? Any way to correct it?
Solved!

I think Ravens Fan is correct. The aspect ratio appears to take precedence over the window position.
You can set a property manually in your code to maximize the window.

Invalid request for a change in window state

Ok...
Creating a JSR168 portlet and it works fine in Pluto, but I get the following when I deploy to P7:
ERROR: Content not available. REASONE: Invalid request for a change in window state
Here is what the portlet is supposed to do:
* Display a form
* User clicks find
* Lookup is performed
* Window state in processAction() method of portlet is changed to MAXIMIZED
* I'm guessing this is where the error is occuring
I also think that for the TableContainer, I have some sort of attribute incorrect having to do with one of the channelsIs values.
I tried toggling them one way or another without any effect.
Suggestions?

Ive run into this issue also. I need a way for a portlet to change to its maximized state for the purposes of user registration. Is there anyway this can be done? I know that sun jsp "Providers" which are shown on their example desktop, have some sort of maximized state that they can go into, but im not sure how to use this in a portlet.
There seems to be very inconsistent support between the proprietary sun provider api, and the portlet api.

Stalonetray no longer stays behind maximized windows after update

I only use a systray app like stalonetray to use the Network Manager applet and it stayed behind maximized windows until I updated my Arch and stalonetray to 0.8.2.1 and now stalonetray occupies window space even when applications are maximized. I haven't changed the .stalonetrayrc config file. Here it is:
background "#000000"
decorations none
dockapp_mode none
fuzzy_edges 3
geometry 1x1+0+1
grow_gravity W
icon_gravity W
icon_size 32
log_level err
max_geometry 0x0
no_shrink false
parent_bg false
skip_taskbar true
sticky false
tint_color black
tint_level 0
transparent true
vertical true
window_layer bottom
window_strut auto
window_type desktop
What should I change?

Hi,
I made a test on our test machine, "Find partial matchs" option was moved indeed. It should be moved in Windows 8.1 by design. However, I think "Find partial matches" was checked by default in Windows 8.1. So, user doesn't need to check them manually.
I made a test on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. A folder contains some subfolder.We can get the same result when "Find partial matchs" was checked in Windows 8.

Document opening in maximized window

I am using Adobe Reader 9.1, Windows Vista, and IE 8.
I have Reader set to not open documents in the browser.
When it opens a document, the document is always opened in a maximized window. Is there anyway to change this? I tried "un-maximizing" the window and closing it and re-opening the document, but it opened it in a maximized window again.
I've tried every setting I can think of in the preferences for Reader, but it keeps doing this.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill

Get compiz to not decorate maximized windows

Is there a way to turn off window borders and title bars for maximized windows in compiz?
Last edited by RobotGymnast (2014-01-12 00:06:06)

Yup, looks like I want to change "Decoration windows" under "Window decoration" from any to only match non-maximized windows.
!(state:maxhorz & state:maxvert), doesn't work, though. How do I match against (non-)maximized windows?

Openbox maximized window decoration

I have just installed openbox and there's just this one tiny detail that drives me crazy. Maximized windows have no window decoration on the sides. It's a pain, because I always use themes with a white outline around the windows. Is there anyway I could change this? Checked rc.xml and haven't found anything useful, themerc's also don't have anything on this.
If there's no way I'll probably go back to emerald

Maximised windows have no border, you don't need borders on maximised windows, but I know what you mean.
I wanted a separator between tint2 and a maximised window, but you can't give tint2 conditional borders so you can't just add one to the side you want, it will be around the whole tint2 instance.
Hence I used BMPanel2 from AUR instead, that way you can create a border one one side only.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

How can I change the window size of iTunes? Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.

How can I change the window size of iTunes on my iMac? Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.

If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
you press the
esc
button if your in full screen mode
if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
get at least one alert saying:
"Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
gui.
So far I have tried:
Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

This one might help.

Hp photosmart plus 210. Since changing to windows 8, I no longer have the options of "no scaling".

since changing to windows 8, I no longer get the options of "no scaling", my paper patterns are printing too small. they printed great before computer change and change to windows 8. no longer have the option of "no scaling". Where can I go to choose that option

Hi AbbyZiva
I understand since updating to Win8 you don't have the "no scaling" option available.
Did you uninstall and reinstall the printer after doing the Windows upgrade?
Here is a url for the drivers for the Photosmart Plus 200.

Changed my windows to windows 7 professional and illustrator 8.0 won't setup

What do I have to do to get my laptop to setup my illustrator 8.0 since I changed to windows 7 professional? It says it can't set it up.

Jimmy,
You should be able to install and run AI8 in Windows 7 professional (and 8,1 for that matter).
You will probably need to run the computer in XP mode to install. Here is how:
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
To run AI8, you should be able to just run the computer normally and to specify that AI8 is to run in (XP) Compatibility maode, as follows:
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
Otherwise, search for Compatibility in the Windows Help and follow the instructions there.

Changing OS Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.0 from DVD Windows 8 upgrade.

I have Windows 8.1 as the original OS on this Computer. I was told twice I would be able to change to Windows 8.0 by Microsoft Techs. Two MS Tech have worked to install this program. Doesn't work. It goes to Windows Setup (That
doesn't follow through) I must quickly catch the black screen and change the option to Windows 8.1. What is the Bitlocker and how do I suspend it?

I'd ask them here about downgrade rights.
