Changing the Look (Composed Looks) Hangs

Everytime I try to change the look to a different Composed Look, the session hangs. It doesn't appear that the look is ever changed.
Are there any known issues with this?

What version of SP are you using specifically? Also, when you change the look there's some work that happens behind the scenes -- how long are you waiting?
Also, is the URL for the site set as a trusted site (assuming you are using IE)?

How can I change the way iCalendar looks?

Ho can I change the way iCalendar is formated. It looks kind of like a cork board and it's not very attractive.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

After You Drag an Icon Into the Dock, Can You Change the Way it Looks?

I work with files that are on a few Windows servers, so I can't change the icons of any files or folders that are on those servers. I've dragged each of the servers' icons into my dock so I can access them quickly, but all the icons in the dock look the same. Is there a way I can change the icons in the dock that represent those servers? There's no "Get Info" for them so you can't copy and paste the same way you can with folder/file icons that reside on your hard drive.
I created an alias (shortcut), copied it onto my desktop, changed that icon, then dragged that into my dock, and then deleted all the original aliases, but it doesn't hold the link, so I want to be able to drag the server icon into the dock and then access that icon and change it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lloyd

Anything on this yet? The whole "alias/shortcut" thing didn't work. I actually got it to work but after restarting the computer the icons in the dock show as question marks.
Isn't there a resource file or something I can dig into to change those icons in the dock?
Thanks...

I have a macbook pro 17". How can I change the way things look? The page only takes about half of the screen and the fonts are fairly small. I am sure there is an easy adjustment. Please clue me in. Thanks

Downgrade or change the way it looks?

So I've been used to using iMovie in iLife 06 and iMovie 08 is completely different than the older version. My questions are: is it possible to downgrade iMovie or change it's appearance to look like the older versions.

You do know that you can download an iMovie HD 6 for free since you have iLife 08-right?

Hide OOB composed Look

We have deployed a custom custom composed look via a feature on a SpWeb level. Is there a way to hide the oob composed looks so that users do not change the custom composed look and apply an oob one?
-- The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of anybody else -- http://manojvnair.blogspot.com

Hi Manoj,
If you want to only show your custom custom composed look.
1. You can go to "Composed looks" list and stop the inheriting permissions from parent, then remove all unwanted users permissions.
2. Then modify the "Composed looks" list view(i.e. allitems.aspx) to show the field "<label for="ShouldDisplayLinkTitle">Title (linked to item with edit menu)</label>".
3. If your custom composed look is displayed in "Composed looks" list, you can click "Shared with" menu from Title field context dropdown menu, then grant the unique permission on this custom composed look item.
Then check results again.
Thanks

Custom Composed Look not appearing in Change the Look with custom color palette

Hi,
I created custom color palette, (which was a copy of one of the out of the box ones) and uploaded it to the Themes folder under a different name. I then went to the Composed Looks and created a new Composed Look(using the New
Items), which the seattle master page, and the new color palette that I created.
When I go to Change a Look, the new Composed Look does not appear as part of the options.
When I change the color palette of the Composed Look, to one of the out of the box ones, I see it I the Change a Look page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I would check two things. First, did you check in the spcolor file you created? Second, I would review all of the properties of your composed look found in "/_catalogs/design/AllItems.aspx". You might want to copy and paste all properties (except
title and name) and see if your new composed look shows up in "Change the look". Then link to your own custom spcolor file.

Composed looks / Change the look themes are missing when creating site from saved template

Hi,
I found an issue when save you own site template and then want to create a new site from that template the "Change the Look" themes are missing and if you go to site settings, Comosed looks where the themes are stored is empty! Anyone else has
the same experience? Any workaround for this?
regards
Martin

I've just seen this exact problem on a SharePoint 2013 farm as well this morning, but have managed to fix the blank "Composed Looks" list issue, although am still working on the "Change the look" wizard pages.
Edit: found a fix for this too now. See my next post below.
It appears that the process of saving a site as a template and then creating a new site from that template causes the original XsltListViewWebPart used to display the default view of the "Composed Looks" list, to be replaced with a ListViewWebPart,
which appears to be broken.
Edit: have also seen this behaviour on sites created from the built-in templates but haven't determined exactly whether this is a bug. ULS logs never show any errors when this occurs so it appears to be "by-design". Ugh.
There may be a tidier way to fix this, but for now, I used SharePoint Designer 2013 to copy an XsltListViewWebPart from a working "Composed Looks" list, AllItems.aspx page and replaced the ListViewWebPart in the broken Composed Looks list, AllItems.aspx
page with it. There is also some additional post copy-paste tidy up to do on the pasted-in XsltListViewWebPart HTML to get it to work within the context of the site it is now in as it will contain GUIDs and URLs that are only relevant within the site
that you copied it from and these need to be replaced with the GUIDs/URLs from the replaced ListViewWebPart - paste it in a notepad session before deleting/overwriting it so you can grab those bits.
I'll write a more detailed step-by-step if anyone wants it, but this doesn't seem to fix the broken "Change the Look" wizard still, only the "Composed Looks" list default view. I'll look into that now and post back more complete solution if I can
find a fix.
Edit: Found a fix. see my next post below.
Edit Edit: One more thing - on some Composed Looks lists we are seeing empty lists once the default view webPart is fixed up. To correct this, you can copy selected Composed Looks from a working site with a full set.
Before you do that, edit the default view in both the source and destination Composed Looks lists and include the Title field as it is a required field.
Then, you can use Datasheet View (just click the edit list link to put it in Datasheet View mode) to bulk copy/paste Composed Looks between the source and destination lists.
Do a little post-paste tidy up on the URLs as above to make sure that they are correct for their new location and then click on over to your Change the Look wizard.
You should see all of your Composed Looks displayed nicely on the page.
Note that the Current Look might not represent the sites actual appearance as it's settings will reflect the source sites appearance, but you can tweak it with the Wizard now.

Glenn
Can you confirm your sharepoint patch level?

How to change the default look and feel

Hi.
Does anyone knows how to change the default Caspian look and feel to, for example, Nimbus ?
Or the skin feature turns look and feel setting, as We know in java, unnecessary in javafx ?
I´m using javafx 1.2.
Cheers

Canspian is not a look&feel, it's a skin.
Look&feel only change the SwingComponent,
regards.

Is there any way to change the look of forms.

I would like to know if there is a way to change the way forms look. For example to have a round form instead of square. Or some functionality like skins used on major MP3 players.
Thanks

see skin Look & Feel, search for skin LF in google

Is there any way to change the default icon of opera in the taskbar?

It doesn't use the icon of the theme, and seems it use an ugly xpm picture. Anyway, if it doesn't have such glitch, I will not complain about it.
Placing another /usr/share/pixmaps/opera.xpm doesn't help. (I edit the xpm file and it's array name to logo3232_xpm.)
Or is there any way to do a icon map?(map the specific program to specific icon)
I'm using kde4 and smooth tasks.
Thank you for your help!

Well the .desktop file is going to tell the system what icon to use. Do a:
pacman -Ql opera | grep "/usr/share/applications"
and you should see it. Hmm, if you edited the icon in place it should work, but not if you changed the name. Look in the desktop file and be sure that the one you are editing is the one you need to change.

HT204053 how do i change the apple ID on iTunes match.....

I am having terrible problems with duplicates on Itunes plus problems with syncing with Icloud. Realised that rather than adding my icloud apple id to Itunes match, I have added my original ID which I use for purchases. Ideally would like to bring these together under one account but to solve this initial problem I think changing my Itunes Match ID will help! Please can someone let me know how I can change the ID?
Look forward to finding someone who can help me...!

You can change your apple id at appleid.apple.com to a different, non-apple id email.
But for what your after, this wont help. You can't transfer purchases from one apple id to another. You may just have to purchase it again on the right id. You could try for a refund at expresslane.apple.com but doubt you'll get it.

How do I change the PS desktop background to a .JPG or other suitable file format of my choosing?

Greetings,
I asked this question a couple months ago and never really received a satisfactory answer. Maybe Adobe holds these secrets close to the vest.
What I would like to accomplish is changing my PS desktop background so that every time I open PS it has a background that I have chosen. (Yes I know you can change the black and grey in the preferences panel) What I want is not necessarily in the preferences panel, unless I'm missing something altogether.
Now here I'm adding a screenshot of a fairly well known PS user CB (who is especially good at 3D) who has his background basically the way I would like mine. If anyone can tell me how to accomplish this thank you!
Sincerely,
Jim
What I'm looking for is something similar to the dark blue background. I have a JPG file similar to this that I would like to use. Now I was able to change the splash opening screen in Lightroom, so I imagine the fix is something similar.

Thanks,
That did work and it's the same as the frame in the sample I provided. Unfortunately not what I wanted. I guess I need to be much more specific. I would like to change the background to look similar to what that sample is, AND be able to have PS as an application that's on top of my desktop and not take up the entire desktop. (which is what happens if I break out the application frame) Probably not something that is doable. I was hoping that similar to changing the Lightroom Splash screen I could change the PS desktop background to something of my choosing other than black or shades of gray. Oh and I am on an iMac.
Thank you again Warunicorn for you help.
