Customise icon bar?
I've spent loads of time - mostly frustrating - trying to learn how to use InDesignb after being a Pagemaker user for years. I've resolved many questions, but still have some outstanding - I'll probably group them on separate 'threads'. So first:
I've found the customise menus - but they are just a choice of which bits to do or not do from predetermined InDesign menus & panels. Confusingly some items are on more than one.
Is there a way to customise the icon bars (or whatever they are called top and left side). They include lots of things I don't use, but I'd like to include others - eg group/ungroup, show hidden characters/or not, relink, send to back/front, spell check, textwrap ignore, etc. These and others were just a click away on PageMaker (right click,Control panel, etc), but seem to need several clicks to get at now. Something like the drag & drop icons (onto or off) on Word 'customise' would be helpful.
Is there an icon to show if an object has been resized proprtinally? - PageMaker had 2 rectangles (disproportionate), or 2 squares (in proportion) on the Control Panel when an illustration was selected. I find the InDesign resizing & cropping very confusing to handle.
I have put most of the 'panels' on the right side list but often just to get at the one thing which is not already on the top panel, which takes several clicks.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Sorry, I think I was unclear. Yes, you can edit the control panel menus from the Edit > Menus command, but that only affects the menus, not the buttons. Perhaps you haven't yet discovered the panel menus... they are little buttons with a triangle and some horizontal lines that open a "flyout" menu for each panel.
Open the control panel menu ( the button is on the far right end) and choose Customize... to see what can be turned off and on. Most of the buttons are clustered into groups that are on or off as a group, and most are fairly intuitive. The ones that look like a family tree or flowchart are for choosing the content or container for a selected object, or for moving through a group to selct individual objects. If a button is active, there should also be a tool tip if you hover over it. Help is not too complete on this, unfortunately.
You can choose what is displayed (up to what will fit on the panel -- some things may be hidden on narrower screens even if selected), but not the positioning. If there is room, the control panel will display many controls for both character and paragraph level adjustments in either mode.

Strange arrow in icon bar [N72]
I have recently discovered a strange icon in the icon bar (next to bluetooth)
It looks like this:
The / has an arrow shape.
Ik found some other topics were the Outbox and Redirecting calls were mentioned.
I cleared all my messages, (except some files in "my folders" (if i translated it right))
I tried to reset the redirecting options, but all I get back is "Not Allowed".
Does it have any effect on my calls/messages?
How do I solve this?
I own the N72 now 2,5 Years, I see the logo first now.it is either something to do with gprs thats active go to packet data settings and select to when needed,or esle its a call divert you may have set up without realising
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Hi guys,
We are customising icons to reflect the preferences for this particular customer and have created new images respecting the file sizes and file names of the original files. The custom performance status icons come through fine but the revised Initiative icons do not display.
We have followed the procedure in the customising guide using File Store for all the revised images but while the performance icons come through the initiative ones don't. We have stopped and restated JPIP several times, cleared browser caches several times and restarted the whole machine but still no joy. Any ideas? Is there somewhere else the original icons could be cached? What is the trigger for the change to be pushed through - the JPIP restart or the machine restart? Switching between the default icon sets works straight away but replacing icon set 5 with our new icons took a kick for it to apply on screen.
Also which screens use the larger larger Print icons? We have tried using the Print link at the top of the screen, and Operational reviews but appear to just use the standard (smaller) icons.
There are also images for Initiatives print_budget_red.png and print_schedule_red.png that shows the the icon with the word description (over/behind). When are these used? Again I've tried the Print link and Operational Reviews but they don't appear!
Thanks
Colin CooperHi Colin,
You are talking about the performance icons, right? The perfomance icons for Initiatives are exactly the same as for the scorecard, so the files you replaced should be used in both screens.
After loading the new images to the filestore, you should check if the files were successfully loaded. For this, you can try to access them directly from the browser, eg.:
http://localhost:50000/strategy/files/red.png
The icon you see there is the one that should be used for both the initiatives and scorecard.
Best regards,

rags[raghavendra]Hi,
Take a look at Toolbars in LabVIEW article ... (I assumed that you are using Windows).
Hope this helps -
I installed Firefox 21 on a new Windows 7 OS. The menu bar and the icon bar at the top of the windows is full of little horizontal lines. Sometimes there are more lines and sometime less lines. It makes the icons and the menu items almost impossible to see. So far it's only the Firefox screen that does this. The other programs I installed so far doesn't do this.
Any ideas?Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
Whenever I use the tab key on my keyboard to try to move between fields on the screen, instead of moving the curser I get an icon bar that pops up in front of the the window, showing all my open windows. I don't want this to happen anymore, please tell me how to stop it.
Sounds that Windows thinks that the Alt key is (still) pressed.
Does it help if you press all status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Replace grouped window task icon from java coffee cup with customised icon
I have an application that a child JFrame instance can be triggered from the main JFrame instance. In that case, these JFrames are collapsed under one group icon on my task bar in windows, which is the java coffee cup icon with tooltip of Java(TM) Platform. When i expand the list, each individual JFrame still has the right personised icon. Can anyone suggest how do I customised the group icon to be my own icon and have personised tooltip? Thanks in advance.

Customising the "bar" of the MenuBar component
Hi there, here is my situation...
I'm trying to modify the style properties of a MenuBar
component at runtime, in particular the colour of the bar.
Reskinning is not really an option as the effect must happen
at runtime.
Using
myMenuBar_mb.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFFAAAA);
works to an extent (changing border & highlight colour)
but does not change the silvery bar that the "root menu" labels sit
upon.
if I use setStyle("backgroundColor", 0x000000); the child
Menu's are changed, but alas, not the bar itself.
Any ideas?Well in the case of only searching a specific field all you need to do is delete the portions of your reports SQL statement that are refering to the other columns.
find the regions area in your edit page
select the first link in the line about your report (the name of your report as oppossed to the one next to it that says report)
scroll down to the source area there should be a SQL statement that looks something like this:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER
FROM TABLENAME)
WHERE (
instr(upper("NAME"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("ADDRESS"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"ADDRESS"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("PHONE_NUMBER"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"PHONE_NUMBER"))) > 0
the instr statements return true if at least one instance of the search value is in in that column so in order to not include Address and Phone_number just get rid of those lines.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER
FROM TABLENAME)
WHERE (
instr(upper("NAME"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"NAME"))) > 0
Delete them and apply changes.
The next thing is to get rid of the highlights (instances of the search string turn red in the report)
Click on the second link (report) for your report region.
click the edit icon next to address
in Column Formatting delete the text in Highlight Words.
apply and repeat for phone_number -

I updated to ios7, Pretty cool so far with the new control center than has FINALLY been added. Every other smart phone on the planet has had it for years.
What I'm asking is how to change the gray bar behind the 4 apps you keep on the bottom of the phone. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. It stands out like a sore thumb. It's also the color behind the "folders"/grouped apps
If there is no way to change it I'lll wait for a jailbreak.Sorry you had to use Tools. Actually, the idea was that you would use the area to the left of the address (green, blue, or plain) to check whether the site is secure.
