Dark theme and Graphite aren't required together-

Wow!
I do like this new iteration… And, given that a lot of things have gone "flat," I thought I'd try the Dark Theme! I liked it immediately. But (silly me?) I thought I'd needed to choose the Graphite Theme, first. Then, I got a little confused: A splash of color (the Spotlight icon…in Red, Yellow and Green) always kept me oriented: I always knew which window was active, awaiting input.
When I discovered my mistake, I thought I'd pass along my experience…

I'm probably not the best person to ask about the relative merits of ThemeDreamer because I don't think I am technically competent enough to work out how to use it...
...but since you asked!
For a person able to code in Wordpress, I imagine it might be more helpful.  I understand it has lots of code prompts for the PHP that WP uses and I guess for those that can code this will be useful.  I wasn't really able to get it going well enough and I'm a little uncertain still as to how to set it up.  I might be misunderstanding how to do that but you are probably streets ahead of me there.  As already said using my local testing server, Firefox and Firebug is a lot more intuitive and I think it will get me by.
As far as any other observations regarding ThemeDreamer, here’s what I’ve got.
1)     When you open index.php it renders in DW but only partially.  There still seems to be a whole heap of yellow php icons in the page.
2)     To a non PHP coder it doesn’t help make sense of things
3)     There isn’t much documentation although again, it might be more self explanatory to people with knowledge of PHP/WP.
4)     There’s a reference in the properties panel that takes you to WP Codex for individual tags – which is probably better if you know what you are doing.
5)     There are code hints on the WP tags that might be helpful if ever I’m brave enough to interfere with that sort of thing!
6)     Overall, I think I’m saying it’s not much good for a novice or at least, not this one.
I wish it was more helpful, I really do.
Regards
Martin

  • Imported cds have no info and songs aren't listed together?

    Every time I import a cd it lists the songs seperatly and rarely ever has song titles or album arwork. I used to know how to manually fix it, it was tedious but mostly worked, but with the new itunes I can't figure it out. The cds are major cds, for example the new Hobbit soundtrack. I'm just getting really frustrated. I've searched for album artwork and get track names, neither did anything. The only error I'm getting is CDDB info not available for some items.
    Any ideas? I could take the no artwork or song names if they at least didn't list the songs individually throughout  my itunes.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps the Artist information to the songs you imported have a space at the very front and this has caused it to sort the Artist differently.
    Carefully review the artist information for the songs in question in iTunes and see if anything is different on the Artist information.
    Best Regards-

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • I used  Ion Profile Pro to digitize quite a few records. However on some records, it will not recognize them and sync them in iTunes. Perhaps because some songs "ran together" when copied or titles were misspelled. Can I get iTunes to recognize them?

    I used Ion Profile Pro turntable to digitize some old records. It worked fine for most of the records, but on five or six albums I get an error message saying "the original file can't be found" and it won't transfer them to my iPod Touch. However, the files are on my hard disk digitized and I can click on them and play them in Windows Media Player. When I go to iTunes, the records (or the CD created from the original records) exits in the iTunes libraries for sale. However, in some cases, the contents of the album offered for sale differs slightly from the original record, or the songs exist on different albums, but not the original album that I had. In some cases minor misspellings occurred on a few titles when they were entered in the ION softwareon my computer. In a few cases, it seemed as if ION did not recognize that there were two or three songs and ran them all together as one and again, my song list does not exactly match Apple's.
    I own these songs, but iTunes won't put them on my iPod Touch. Is there anything I can do (short of paying for songs I already own) to get Apple to recognize these songs?

    You seem to have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.  Try posting in the iTunes forum.

    It isn't an option it is a permanent part of the security protocol, so you need to write the answers down in a secure location or remember them, you will always need them in the future.
    Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the questions.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.

  • We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 vid

    We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
    Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

    Hello there,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
    Here are some questions:
    1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
    2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
    3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
    PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
    If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
    Take care and thanks again,
    CM

  • I.Movie Help - joining a theme and trailer together?

    I am using i.movie 11 (v9.0.02) and have created a soccer match movie.  I also created a trailer for this movie.
    1.  How do you join the two together.  As I had to create two separate projects, or am I doing something wrong?
    2.  What's the best way to move across to i.DVD to create the final movie for burning?
    From i.Movie I shared them with i.Tunes using a large format as I was told this would give a better quality finish.  However, once I started creating my DVD I noticed that I couldn't put the trailer and the movie together (I want them to continually flow) so I had to open a new 'slideshow' and add them both into that. Whilst watching the movie back it came out a bit fuzzy?  This also happened when I created a new movie folder and put just the movie of the game in there. More importantly how to I keep a good quality finish?
    Can anyone give me some help as I need this for the whole soccer team.

    1.  How do you join the two together.  As I had to create two separate projects, or am I doing something wrong?
    No you are doing the right thing. Themes vs. Trailers force you to pick one or the other. So you would have to do two seperate projects to get both visual elements to appear.
    2.  What's the best way to move across to i.DVD to create the final movie for burning?
    You would Share to Media Browser for both versions the Theme and the Trailer versions of the projects. Then in iDVD you would click on the Media button and then the Pictures button and then look for your projects under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Then you would drag each project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.
    From i.Movie I shared them with i.Tunes using a large format as I was told this would give a better quality finish.
    You don't want to share to iTunes, but you do want to Share to Media Browser and then in iDVD pull the projects from the Media Browser back into the iDVD project window. That's the highest quality step you can maintain. So skip Share to iMovie, Share to Media browser instead.
    However, once I started creating my DVD I noticed that I couldn't put the trailer and the movie together (I want them to continually flow) so I had to open a new 'slideshow' and add them both into that.
    It sounds to me like you might be better off combining the two projects in iMovie, and there's some workarounds to do that, rather than use the iDVD tools to try and combine them into one movie. Here's what you should try to do:
    1. Using the Trailer version of your project, In iMovie go to the Share menu > Share using QuickTime
    2. Before you save it click the Options buttons as you want to set things in a way that iMovie can reuse your saved movie
    3. Click the settings button, under that choose Apple Intermediate Codec:
    Then save the .mov file to the Desktop, so you can easily find it.
    4. Go to the Non-Trailer version of your project and open it in the Project browser window (the top half of the iMovie screen)
    5. Go to File Menu > Import Movies... then navigate out to your Desktop and find the .mov file. And import it into your iMovie Events folder.
    6. Find the newly imported Trailer, and drag it into the Non-trailer project which is currently open in your Project browser. Drag and drop it at the begining or the end depending on where you want it to appear.
    7. Go to the Share Menu > Share to Media Browser and let that run until it finishes, then quit iMovie
    8. Open iDVD click on the Media button, then click on the Movies button. Find your shared project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. This exported version should have now BOTH of your projects consolidated into one iMovie project. Drag that into the iDVD project window and burn the DVD-R disk.

  • HT4972 I have a second generation iPad and can't clear the items in my update list. Is there a way to do this. I select them and it just says iS05 required

    I have a second generation iPad and can't clear the items in my update list. Is there a way to do this. I select them and it just says iS05 required

    There is no way to clear the update notifications - unless you delete the apps completely from the iPad and from iTunes on your computer.
    Obviously you want to continue to use the apps, so you either have to update the iPad and get the newer versions - or just ignore the update notifications. They will not go away.

  • When I open a drop down menu from the tool bar, and move the pointer down the list of choices, they become constantly "darkly highlighted" and the typefaces change to black making them unreadable.

    As the pointer is moved down the list of choices in a drop down box, once the pointer passes each choice, that choice becomes constantly “darkly highlighted” and the type face of that choice turns black. So, as the pointer moves down the list of choices all of the choices become a block of darkly highlighted black text, making it impossible to read the choices which were passed over by the pointer.
    It is though the HTML, JavaScript or Java attribute of ''*<code>onMouseover</code>'' is missing the attribute of ''*<code> onMouseout</code>'', thereby when the user moves the pointer off the boundaries of the element, that element retains the CSS given it by the''*<code> onMouseover</code>''
