Changing openbox window label font.

So, i would like to use a custom font in my openbox theme, but i looked around on the arch forums and the openbox wiki and i can't seem to find how to change the font for the menu and windows label, does someone here know how to achieve such a thing ? Thanks.

Use obconf, or edit the /openbox/rc.xml file with your font changes
edit: you beat me to it.

Programmatically change tab page label font size

Hellow Fellow LabVIEW Lovers,
I thought this subject was easy with LV2009, somehow I cannot find the property for the "tab page label font size", yes, i also looked with the "pages" ref array from the tab ref, also no luck. Could someone point me to the right place? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
Bryan

Odd,
The each tab is a page Class Generic>Page.
This snippet shows that there are no objects on the page (like the lable)
However ,Page Propertise do not include lable.font.all elements
Page Properties
Dim hasPlayer, playerversion
hasPlayer = false
playerversion = 10
Do While playerversion > 0
On Error Resume Next
hasPlayer = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & playerversion)))
If hasPlayer = true Then Exit Do
playerversion = playerversion - 1
Loop
is_FlashVersion = playerversion
is_Flash = hasPlayer
Requires: Base Package
Inherits from Generic. View the class hierarchy.

JSlider: how to change tick label font?

Hi,
does anyone know how to change the tick labels font of a jSlider?
Thanks for your help,
Elke

    Enumeration e = d.elements();

      Object o = e.nextElement();
      if (o instanceof JComponent) ((JComponent)o).setFont(new Font("Dialog", 0, 9));
    }

Window Title Font

I am trying to change the Window Title Font in Font Preferences but it is grayed out. I can change application font and terminal font but not Window Title Font.

Yes, unfortunately you need to do some hidden magic to enable this setting. Open the Configuration Editor from the Launch menu (or run gconf-editor on the command line), and uncheck the /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_uses_system_font box. Otherwise the window manager will always use your Application font.

How to change label font

i am in the final stages of making an iphone app in xcode. i am now working on changing the font of each of the labels in my app. i have gone to interface builder and selected each label. then, in the inspector, i changed the font to the one i wanted. however, the change doesn't show in either interface builder nor when i run it. the font i picked only shows when i double tap the label in interface builder and highlight all of the text.
if anyone knows why this could be happening and how to fix it, i would be ever so greatful.
thanks in advance!

Try to change the label font style programmatically using the statement
"myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Zapfino" size: 14.0];"
may it works......

Xfce font change caused window/panel crash

I just installed arch linux w/ xfce4 on my UX31A laptop for the first time yesterday. I had everything up and going...but today I was changing my font in:
Settings Manager > Appearance > Font
and after testing out one of the various fonts, my desktop panel and windows disappeared (though I can still open google chrome). I've tried reopening the settings manager from terminal using:
xfce4-appearance-settings
but receive the following error:
xfce4-appearance-settings: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
I'm sure I can fix this by finding the file in which the font setting is saved and changing it to another font, but I'm not sure where this is. Any ideas? Also, how can I prevent this in the future? Thanks for the help!

Did you hit Apply before you closed lxappearance? Otherwise the change is just a preview. Did you also run lxappearance as the same user that's having trouble with the panel?
If that doesn't do it, try running xfce4-settings-editor. Don't get your hopes up though
xfce4-settings-editor
Go to the channel "xsettings" and edit /Gtk/FontName to something sensible, or reset it.
Otherwise, this should be able to reset the Gtk font property(See here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/xfconf-query).
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/FontName
If that can't run either, edit the files manually(I find it highly unlikely that these don't exist, please say so if they don't):
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml:
<channel name="xsettings" version="1.0">
<property name="Gtk" type="empty">
<property name="FontName" type="string" value="FontName FontSize"/> 
</property>
</channel>
If that doesn't do it, I assumed the panel would follow the Gtk theme, but perhaps it doesn't. What about this?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … t_settings
Regarding the error, I have literally no experience with Xlib so I'm afraid I can't help you solve it that way.
Edit: automatic url-tags don't like me.

Need help changing the window border in OPENBOX

Can somebody help me change the window border in openbox, I have already used obconf but I don't like the way there borders look, does any one now of any other programs that can change the window border?

To remove the pink, right click on your desktop, select properties, settings, and change your color bit from 16 to 32.

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
(td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
**I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
"How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
<b>**********Solution*********</b>
Download the file:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
Install the font that was downloaded.
<b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

Item label font

How to change the Select List / Texfield label font in Apex ?
Yogesh

Hi,
I am not familiar with the Cascading Style Sheet (css) but I think this is all controlled by this css of each theme. You will find the .css files under each of the theme in \apex\images\themes\.
Hope this gives some direction at least.

Change folders color labels

Hi, I want to change the color label of folders which contain specified files, eg movs, jpegs. I don´t want to copy or remove files, because folder size is about 140 GB. The biggest group of files is about 50 GB. I mention this, because I think getting specified finder items could be a problem for my little ibook?
Thanks in advance

Also for the bug that iTunes doesn't minimize when I double-click the top edge of the window.
It isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Actually, I kinda like the improvements to the "miniplayer" thing, even though it isn't the same thing as minimizing the app. The only thing I don't like about the miniplayer is the tiny, hard to hit icon used to toggle it on & off, but if I can just remember the Cmd-Option-M shortcut for that I'm OK with that too.
I wouldn't mind filling out a survey before they (Apple) curtained features.
After hanging around ASC for a few years, I have realized that almost everybody has very different ideas about the usefulness of just about every feature Apple has ever implemented. If Apple listened to users, I suspect we would end up with an OS so bloated it wouldn't even be able to crawl, much less run, on most Macs, & the user preferences alone would have so many options nobody could find the ones they wanted without help.
Actually, I think that may already be happening ... but I'm sure everybody has a different opinion about that, too!

In past versions of FireFox there was a view option that allowed a change in size of fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6.

You can use "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" to zoom pages quickly and "Ctr 0" (zero) to reset the page zoom.

There are also page zoom buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window that you can drag on a toolbar.

How to change mouse-over label for a mx:CandleStickChart?

I have an <mx:CandleStickChart .../> graph and want to change the default
labels on the mouse-over window. For example by default, the mouse-over window displays:
line1: some label
line2: open: #1
line3: close: #2
line4: high: #3
line5: low: #4
I want to change the words "open", "close", "high", "low" to something else. I optionally want to not show the "close" line.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? If you do, please provide a short example.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Hi
First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
Create another resource id like:
#define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
#define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
Define paths to the icons
resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

Changing a JLabel's font

Anybody know how to change a JLabel's font? ( I would prefer not having to overide paintComponent)

Try using the setFont method:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Some Text");
label.setFont(new Font("dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
The Font constructor takes a font name, font style, and size.
