Changing the position of desktop icons

how to change the position of the desktop icons and can they placed on the desktop directly instead of being arranged on the dock?

The dock and the desktop are two separate things.
Icons can be placed on the desktop. They must be double clicked to run them.
Icons can be rearranged on the dock by drag and drop.
Do not drag an icon from the dock to the desktop unless you want to get rid of it since it will go "poof".

How do I change the font of desktop icons?

How do I change the font of desktop icons?

OS X only permits changing the font size but not the font itself. There are third-party interface modifiers that may enable you to make more extensive changes, but since the basic system fonts are embedded they are not easily changed. The freeware tool, TinkerTool, can be used to make some font changes, but icon fonts. Look for it and other software at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Dreamweaver CC fluid grid, can I change the position of DIV's based on Mobile, Tablet, Desktop view?

Hi all,
Currently working on my first Dreamweaver CC fluid grid / responsive site. I want to optimise the pages layout for Mobile, Tablet and Desktop.
I can see that I can hide individual div elements by adding "display: none;" to the mobile media query code in the CSS.
I am wondering am I able to change the position of DIV's in relation to the order of each other some how using a similar way?
Eg I have a webpage design for desktop like.
Title
Nav
Description
Buy Button
Photo
On mobile I'd like to be able to bring that Photo up towards the top of the layout eg.
Title
Nav
Photo
Description
Buy Button
I was hoping those up and down arrows you see in the Dreamweaver CC interface was going to some how make the changes to each view Mobile, Tablet, Desktop, but all that is doing is moving the position of code in the HTML amoung each of the main DIV sections.
Or am I at the point where I will need to create a seperate page for mobile only to make a layout change like this?
Any help would be great

Hi Complexity,
I have got some further info, and if I have lead you astray I am sorry.
I don't think you can change the order of the divs in a responsive layout in DW CC.
However, you can arrange the divs to sit under or beside each other differently in each of the layouts, for pc, tablet or phone.
You can also switch divs off and on in each of the layouts, having them display in one size screen and not in another.
So what you would need to do is to create a couple of nav divs, if you want a nav at the top of one type of screen and one at the bottom. You could duplicate the content in both of them and switch one on in one layout and one off in the other.
I hope this helps!
I am doing my first layout for a client using DW CC responsive layouts. I have done two test/hobby sites already.
It is a bit of a mission learning it but I am getting there.
I do find it interesting that most people recommend using other programs to do responsive rather than Dreamweaver's fluid grid layouts. I don't think many people are using it yet.

Mary

Why can't I change the position of the 'Top Collections' feature box?

In Public Site Manager I can select or de-select and change the position (ordering) of all the feature boxes on my provider page except for 'Top Collections'. As a result of this 'Top Collections' remains fixed at the bottom of the page. I'd like to move it to the top of the page so it's the first feature box that users see. What gives?
Options in Public Site Manager (notice there is no option to select or move 'Top Collections')
iTunes U Provider Page (notice that 'Top Collections' is at the bottom of the page)

Hi Julie
Thanks for the reply.
I can move the 'Top Downloads' box but not the 'Top Collections' box.
I don't use the What's New feature box so unfortunately I can't comment on that. In regards to the ordering in custom feature boxes I think it's no longer possible order the items. Or rather you can order the icons in Public Site Manager but in iTunes it orders them automatically by 'Most Popular', 'Name' or 'Release Date', with Most Popular being the default option. I do have my doubts, however, about the reliability of the 'Most Popular' ordering. I know for a fact that there are many collections / downloads on my iTunes U site which are way more popular than those that iTunes deems to be the most popular.

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

If you want to open the "Get Info" panel in the center of your screen, define the following Automator service and install it in the "Services" Folder of your User Library. This service will be available when you ctrl-click a file or folder in the pop-up menu and it will open the "Get Info" in the center of the screen.
Open Automator and select New -> Service.
Select: Service receives "files or Folders" in "Finder.app"
Drag a "Run Apple script" action from the Actions pane -> Utilities onto the Workflow
Paste the following script into the action, after (* Your script goes here *) and before "return input"
          tell application "Finder"
activate
                    set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
open information window of item input
                    set {i1, i2, i3, i4} to (get bounds of information window 1)
                    set position of information window 1 to {d1 + (d3 - i3 + i1) / 2, d2 + (d4 - i4 + i2) / 2}
          end tell
Save the service and name it e.g. "centeredGetInfo". It will be installed in your library -> Services.
Now you can ctrl-click any File or Folder, and in the Services Section of the pop-up menu you will see your new service "centeredGetInfo", also in File ->Services in the Finder, when you select a Finder item.
You can bind this service to a keyboard shortcut in the keyboard preferences and use it like the standard "Get Info"

Limiting lowermost position of desktop icons

I use a third-party launch bar which is positioned horizontally along the bottom of the screen. Although it has a transparency feature, one inconvenience is that it obscures the lowermost desktop icons, and I periodically have to move it out of the way to find some icon I'm looking for.
Is there a way to limit the lowermost position of desktop icons so there is a clear space along the bottom of the screen? With my 21 inch monitor set to 1600x1200, I would need about 160 pixels of clear space to accommodate the launch bar without obscuring icons.
Thanks in advance.

That's interesting. On my machine, all newly saved items fall right under the right-hand disk icons, populating down the screen's right-hand side. None go under the Dock, which does have some room on either side of my screen. Been that way since the Jaguar days, but then again, I've never used any view options for the desktop folder. Always found them a nuisance. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.

You can try below options -

Out of various iviews, Check Desktop Innerpage and select Open tab. It will display 6 iviews.

Is it possible to change the position of beining of text in a standard report

Hi,
I am wondering wether it is possible to change the position of the test (the starting point) in a standard report. I would like to print a label with different texts at different positions. If its not possible in a standard report is there any other way to do it.
Thank you,
Mudda.

Hi Mudda, I don't see any way myself to set any particular starting position for your text. It looks like the best way to emulate this behavior would be to add a new line with lots of tab characters or spaces to place your new text at a specific offset from the left. You can also use Append Table to Report and wire in a 2D string array with only a few positions filled in with your various text labels as shown below. This will space text labels pretty well across the page. Try it out and see if it works for you. You could be more clever and build the 2D array programmatically if you wanted more control over position.

I've lost the finder and desktop icons

Purchased new iMac 10 days ago but did not immediately transfer data from old computer. When I did, I transferred from a Backup on Time Machine using Migration Assistant . I did not merge the two users I had the New Jon (new computer) and the Old Jon (old computer transferred to the new one). I transferred applications and documents but did not transfer the computer and network settings. My reason for two users was that I knew there were programs on the old iMac (10.9.5, early 2008) that did not work on 10 and I was hoping to cherry pick.
However, the new iMac (10.10.2) wasn't seeing any of the desktop files in either user from the old Mac. I decided to delete Old Jon keeping New Jon and starting over again. When I did that, none of the Old Jon applications were deleted and are usable for both users AND the Finder is missing. Clicking on Finder it says that the Finder can't be opened. The finder had been working on both users on the new computer up to the point at which I deleted Old Jon.
Interesting to note that at one time (I don't remember if I was upgrading from 9 to 10 or it was a 10 upgrade) but the Finder on the old Mac also disappeared. I was on forums and seemed to be a problem that many people had. For me, the only thing that seemed to work was opening Activity Monitor and force quitting Window Server and after that the finder and desktop icon showed up. So I'm thinking it must be a program or file I have on the old computer. So, I thought I'd try downloading 10.10 figuring if I reinstalled I would get where back to an "out of the box" computer.
Even though it said I was downloading 10.10 the new install said it was still 10.10.2. All of the applications from the old Mac were still there and there was still no finder. I created a couple of new identities in the New Jon computer. Both of them have access to the finder but the Main identity does not. I have noticed that if you log under under one of the new identities and then go to the Main identity the Finder is there - but not if you log into the Main Identity first.
Can anyone give me hint as what I might do to where I might look or steer me to another forum? Hope this isn't too confusing. Thank you so much

Why can't you change the .html/.htm filetype icons for Firefox?

**Before you read this question: NOTICE I am talking about Firefox Icons on Windows, NOT ON FIREFOX BOOKMARKS/PROGRAM!!!!! Read the question then please, please visit the link so you have a better understanding of what I'm asking with this question!!!!**
I've been trying to change the FileType Icons for the Firefox Documents for weeks now and there's no solution that I can see. I tried using Filetypes Manager to change the .html/.htm filetypes icons with no luck. Why does Firefox force this change on users when most users that use Firefox do so because of it's ability to be customizable? Even Microsoft Word .doc file icons allow you to change them! Microsoft!!! Why is Firefox forcing everyone to use their ugly filetype icons? &____& I've yet to see this issue not only addressed but solved. Why does Firefox ignore this issue? I'd like my computer's icons to all be top-notch, and Firefox is preventing me from making my weeks of hard work go to naught. Please, please address this issue... if anything, tell your users why your program is forcing the icons on them in the first place when monopolies like Microsoft allow their users to customize program filetype icons.
If this cannot have a fix, why can't it be a new feature/addition to the newest versions of Firefox?
Edit: And because people are starting to get 'confused' I've included a screen shot of what I'm talking about because, for the love of god, people, I'm *not* talking about using favicons and bookmarks!
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/arcanetheorem/example.png

The only thing I changed about the question was to add an image and to try and make it more understandable since everyone assumed I was talking about Favicons/Bookmark Icons....
As for it being a Windows 7 issue and not a Firefox one... if it were just a Windows 7 issue I wouldn't be able to change other application icons or filetype icons on the Windows platform using FileTypes Manager. Firefox, from what I've been able to gather, is not one that can be changed. If I change the filetype icons for Word Documents any other extension (like .mp3/.mp4/.avi/.mkv), I get the changed icon I wanted. However, when you try to change the Firefox .html/.htm filetype extension icons, it doesn't work. Have you tried going through changing your icon filetypes using FileTypes Manager to see this issue? If it were a Windows or FileType Manager issue, then I'd have trouble changing other icons on that platform, no? So what I'm asking with my question is why this is. Why, if you use FileTypes Manager to change Windows7 icons, is Firefox's icons the only ones that won't be changed? Doesn't this fall under Firefox's problem if their icons are under the 'can't be changed' category under Windows? And using shortcut icons is no good for me. When I browse a folder of .html files, I want to see the icons I changed it to, not make a shortcut to every .html file I have just to have a better-looking Visual Style. Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? As for clicking on Properties to change it... Windows 7 doesn't allow this feature anymore, which is why I've been using FileType Manager to change all filetype extension icons.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit, though I have a feeling I'm just confusing everyone more with what is a simple question/problem....

How to change the position of a rectangle dynamically

Hi,
I am designing a form, where the position of a rectangle has to be changed dynamically. I'm trying with Set_Item_Property(Position property). But I'm unable to change the position. I need some information regarding this graphics object. Normally, we attach block name with the items. Then for these graphics object, what will be attached. I'm using Forms 6i version.

you can use a stacked canvas with the rectangle in it. Then you can change the position of the canvas at runtime. Problem is, that the canvas overlaps objects...

How to change the position of label of an item to be in the rigth side?

Hi ,
I want to change the position of the label of an item (displayed as text field) to be in the rigth side of the text field of the item instead on the left side of the text field of the item?
Thanks in advance
Yoel

Hello Yoel,
>> I want to change the position of the label of an item (displayed as text field) to be in the rigth side of the text field of the item instead on the left
Are you talking about a single item among others, which will be left at the left side, or are you talking about the entire page (Right-To-Left page orientation)?
I’m afraid Leo suggestion will not help you either way. The “Horizontal / Vertical Alignment” field, in the label section of the item, pertains to the alignment within the ‘TD’ cell of the item’s label, which by default is located to the left of the item. Within this cell, you can choose several alignment options, including right and left.
Regards,
Arie.
