Compiz / Emerald wont close windows

I installed compiz and emerald, and everything is working perfectly, except when an application is launched, the "red x" at the corner of the window and the minimize maximize buttons are not clickable. I can't even click and drag the top of the window. The only way I can close/maximize/minimize the window is by right-clicking the icon in Avant Window Navigator and unmaximizing.
After a window has been unmaximized, I can use the red x and the other buttons like normal.

I think you are trying to change the gtk-theme... That is what controls the menus, toolbars, etc of gtk apps.
Are you using Gnome?

Xfce & Compiz & Emerald - no window decorations

Hi, I'm having a problem with my fresh installation of Archlinux i686. I choosed my favourite desktop environment - Xfce4, but I'm not able to get it working with Emerald and Compiz. When I try "emerald --replace" Emerald won't load and I don't see any error message either. On the other hand when I try running "compiz --replace ccp && emerald --replace &" my window decorations disappear and I see this in my console:
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop
compiz (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
fuse: failed to access mountpoint compiz: No such file or directory
The result is the same with or without Window decorations Compiz plugin turned on or off. Only thing that can save my ass is running "xfwm4 --replace" which restores xfwm4 and kills both Emerald an Compiz.

Every package in my system is updated to its newest versions (as I said, my system is freshly installed).
And yes, I UTFGed (a lot), but I haven't found any answer that would work for me (partially maybe because most of topics on this matter are more than one year old).
Can anyone help me, please? I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance.

My iTunes wont close and is preventing my laptop from shutting down

I plugged out my iPod touch when iTunes was asking me whether I wanted an update or not, and now iTunes wont close and has frozen, preventing my laptop from shutting down. I have intel Celeron inside and Windows 7.

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

Sending email on outlook the window does not close window firefox 5

HI.
I just upgraded to firefox 5 from 3.6.18. When compose an email on the web it sends it, but the window wont close after that. I have to press X to do so. The email does send.
How can I fix that?

Please check SAP note 1512960 and SAP note 1384496.

This behaviour is by design.

Notes v 10.6.2 - opens but no content, wont close

10.6.2 on MBP
syncing to iPhone regularily
suddenly, Notes via Mail app open but no content in them, wont close
no content means none in Preview Pane and none via 2x clicking
(dialogue in Prev Pane says "Loading..." but nothing ever does
ALL Notes behave this way
tried:
1. deleting ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file
2. DU - Repair Permissions / Verify Disk
to no avail

<< anyway, you can test the issue by creating a new user on your mac and copying the whole mail folder and the mail plist to that user. does Mail work there? >>
yes it and Notes work fine on a virgin user account
I did a full restore of the entire MBP from my Time Machine 12-19-09 backup, sadly, to no avail. Since I didnt have this issue on that date, I cannot understand why it didnt work, ie, the problem was still there. Wierd !
To get my mail working properly again, what I did was delete the problem account, recreate a new account with same username, and am trying to restore folder by folder from Time Machine. This is not working very well:
1. Calendar - restoring from the Application Support/Calendar folder causes a spinning beachball
2. key desktop folders with my data - Im told that "The operation cant be completed because you dont have permisson to access some of the items".
3. Contacts - its not obvious how to restore my contacts - where are they ?
4. restore vs copying from the actual Finder window of a Time Machine backup isnt clear. In any case the Finder level copies yield the aforementioned error and seem to put some random number of successful copies of folders into any root folder. Not good.
Ive got a real mess on my hands now, and Ive already spent hours and hours unsorting this thing.
you are having all these permissions problems because the new user you created has a different UID than the old one. UID is different from username. it's a number. the first created user has UID 501, the second has 502 etc. UID's are what determines permissions, not user names. we can change the new user's UID to align with the old one but we need to find out what the old one was. how many users did you have. was the old user the first created on the computer?
btw, contacts are stored in homedirectory/library/application support/address book. just restore the whole directory. but don't do this yet and don't copy stuff from the TM drive via finder. use the TM interface only.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Preview won't close windows

I have mac book pro 10.7.4 . I opened a few PDF files. Now preview wont close the windows. I tried:
     1- turning off restore window feature on system preferences
     2- using command + option + Q
     3- deleting com.apple.preview file
Nothing seems to work. Please help

I was having the same problem, with a large file that was causing my Preview to open it everytime and slow it down, and it wouldn't close the **** file/window. The fact is that it was opening the file even if it was deleted. But it was opening a temporary file somewhere, somehow.
I don't know if that's available in previous version os macOS, but I'm using Lion. Here's what I did:
1. Right-click on the icon by the side of the title of the window/document you wish to close
2. You can see now the path of that file - click on the folder right beneath the file name
3. That will take you the where the file is - delete the file.
4. Go back to preview and close the window.
To me this worked instantly. It wasn't closing before and now it did because the file really didn't exist anymore.
Cheers

Firefox wont close properly after a while. Buttons dont work.

I'm having a problem with Firefox recently. Everytime I open Firefox and leave it open for more than 5 minutes the program wont close properly. The red X/minimize buttons stop working. I can close tabs though.
There are two ways for me exit firefox when this happens
1: Clciking file--> exit
2: opening the Taskmanager and stopping Firefox.
Anyone got any idead on what's causing this? Plugin clash? What's the best way to figure it out if it is?

Nah, It's not really a hang, as such. I can keep surfing away for hours with this problem. It only is a problem once I open a menu like the preferences window/addons window or go to close Firefox. If I close Firefox by using the File-->exit method with multiple tabs open it asks me if I want to Save and quit, quit or cancel. It then wont let chose from those. the menu icons highlight but my mouse click doesn't register and wont let me select anything.

Javascript Open and Close window

I am creating a new website and am having problems getting
the open window and close window to work. I want this window to
open a new window (NOT a popup window used with the "onload"
option). I am using an img tag so that when you click on the image
thumbnail this new window opens. It is my understanding in order to
use the window.close option, you must have the javascript in the
header of the html document for the close to work. In the heading
of the document that contains the link to open a new window I have
the following:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
function popuponclick()
Cellex = window.open("products/cellex.htm",
"console","status=1,width=350,height=150");
function closepopup()
if(false == cellex.closed)
cellex.close ();
else
alert('Window already closed!');
</SCRIPT>
Then I have this in the body:
<img src="images/thumbnails/dermalogicath.jpg"
alt="Dermalogica" width="94" height="84" border="0"
/></a></td>
<td><a href="products/mdskin.htm"
onclick="window.open('products/mdskin.htm','mdskin',width=610,height=780,scrollbars=yes') ;return
false; target="_blank">
However, I'm getting script errors when opening the window on
the lines in the body Unterminated error. I have tried using the
help in Dreamweaver as well as many docs posted, but still cannot
get this to work. Once I get the script errors resolved, the when
the window opens, it will not close. I get the message that a
window is trying to be closed and do I want to close the window
which closes internet explorer entirely. I'm using IE 7.0 as well
as foxfire and have the same issue on both. If I use the
dreamweaver behaviors to call a javascript, it puts "onload" and if
I change to "onclick" then the script will not work. When I use the
behavior "open window" it still doesn't work. I'm totally lost as
to what I'm doing wrong as I have followed about 10 papers all
using the same instructions.
Hopefully some one can help me, I'm getting fustrated as this
seems to be pretty straight forward.
Thanks, vienie

Try this on for size:
I have included two functions.
windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
This functions is for internal application use.
Examples of myLocation:
url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
url = myLocation('184', '10');
function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
var myHost = location.host;
var newURL;
newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
return newURL;
/* Function windowRebuild()
*   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
*   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
function windowRebuild(){
   if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
    var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
    var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
    window.opener = 'x';
    window.close();
   if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.

Where did Close Tab and Close Window under the File tab go? I end up with all these open windows or exiting altogether.

Under the File tab, I no longer see Close Tab or Close Window. Thus, I end up with a lot of open windows, because if I click File Exit, I'm logged out.

You need to create a file userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and paste the above posted code in the file.<br />
You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to make it easier to edit the file.
You can access the profile folder via this button:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
That code will cause all hidden menu entries to get visible all the time, so you can use the mouse to open the menus and do not need to use the keyboard.

Mail In Full Screen Closes Window after Sending

I love using mail in full screen.
When I send a new message or reply to a message the Mail window closes out of the full screen and closes the mail window. How do I get the window to stop closing after I send or reply?

I found out what is was. I had serial mail try to send about 200 emails. Something went wrong (not sure whether it is lion compatible) and there were a load of unsent emails somewhere in the background. Funny thing was they were not showing anywhere, just when I tried to close window, an unsent message popped up.
Anyway, force quit mail as I could not be bothered to find out how many mails had not been sent, and on reopening all back to normal

How do I add a close window button/image

All I want to do: Add a close window button (round/square with an "x" through it) to either one or many html files. I don't see how to do this.
Using RoboHelp 8 HTML and WinXP. Thanks.

Ahh I see now. You are asking where to obtain such an image!
The RoboHelp Gallery doesn't contain one. Sorry. You will need to obtain one from any number of other locations.
You might look at the following link for one possibility.
Icon Archive
Here are a couple from my own colloection. You might right-click and save as.
There are also a number of packages you may purchase or find. Perhaps the following link will help.
Click here to search Google
I cannot advise on the legal implications of using said images.
Cheers... Rick

Acrobat reader install fails on vista - says close windows explorer

I'm trying to install the latest reader on a Windows Vista laptop but the installation fails with an error message "you must close windows explorer". In task manager there are no running applications but I can see explorer.exe in the list of processes. I think this is running the desktop/taskbar so I don't want to close it. Any ideas how to get round this?
TIA

This might work.
1) Open Adobe Reader
2) Go to Edit then Preferences
3) Under Categories on the left side click on Internet
4) Uncheck Display PDF in browser and click Ok.
