Document windows open full screen

Hi,
Trying to avoid using the application frame as I don't like the way it stays open and visible when all Dreamweaver documents are closed (even if DW is in the background.) So I have Application Frame (under Window menu) deselected...but everytime I open an html page to edit it opens the full width of the screen. Anyway to set Dreamweaver to remember how wide windows were previously and have them open to that width which I set?
Thanks,
Rick

It seems strange though that Dreamweaver would assume I want to see a web page full screen...
Dreamweaver CS6 introduced the Application Frame to bring it into line with other Creative Suite programs. Some Mac users like it. Others loathe it with passion. If you don't like the way Dreamweaver now works, submit a feature request as I suggested earlier.
However, I have discovered a way to get the Mac version of Dreamweaver CS6 to open files at a smaller size. Whether it suits your preferred workflow is a different matter.
Turn on Application Frame and resize Dreamweaver so that it doesn't fill your monitor. Go to the Dreamweaver menu, and select Preferences. In the General category, deselect the option to open documents in tabs.
Now when you open a document, it will be floating, and will be only large enough to fit in the resized Application Frame. You won't be able to access other programs or files behind the Application Frame unless you minimize Dreamweaver. But if you locate the Application Frame away from other documents that you might want to access, it will give you freedom to switch between programs and keep the size of the Document window more manageable.
Of course, it's not exactly what you want, but it might make your workflow a little easier.
By the way, this is a user-to-user forum, not Adobe support. So, if you want Adobe to take notice of your requirements, use the form I suggested earlier.

6.0.1 update lost default window sizing and all windows open full screen now, why and how do I get my original window sizes back?

After updating Firefox to version 6.0.1, all browser windows open in full screen size. I need new browser windows to open in their original default size since I use a website for work that opens multiple browser windows.
I used to be able to fix this problem by renaming my localstore.rdf file in my profile and then restarting Firefox but this does not seem to work in this last update.
This appears to be a recurring problem for Firefox and it's extremely frustrating.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.

Prevent documents opening full screen

Is there a preference (or file) that can be set/modified to prevent all documents from opening full screen? Opening a 100x30 pixel image and have it cover my entire cinema display is not helpful. Thanks!

- Just upgraded to CS4 on a Mac...
- Turned off "Open new documents as tabs"... I like to have multiple files open so I can see them all at once.
I made a big upgrade from Fireworks 8 to CS4, and what I liked about the old version was that opening a small image would open an appropriately sized window. Now, even if my file is an image that's 10px by 10px, the entire screen is covered. Actually, I just ran an experiment opening an image that is 200px by 26px. In Fireworks 8, the window opened to 331px by 282px. In CS4 Fireworks, the window opened to 1606px by 1072px. I'm forced to resize the window every time I open a file.
Thanks!

Since upgrade to 3.6.7 the emoticons window on a forum I use always opens full screen, not as a small window. How can I get it to open as a small screen again.

Since upgrading to 3.6.7, when I go to a forum I'm active on and click the emoticons icon in the reply box, the emoticons window opens full screen, and not as a small screen like it did before. I can click on the box to make it small again, but next time I open it, it's back to full screen. Ok, not a major problem, but really rather annoying. I've tried to find a way to get it back to opening the way it did before, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can solve this little problem?
== I upgraded to 3.6.7

No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

How to open a window in full screen mode using lf_fpm_navigation?

Hi Guys
For the following applications
ESS Application: HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_ESS
MSS Application: HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS
When the user clicks on the appraisal document name, a seperate window(not full screen) is generated to display the Appraisal docuemnt.
The code is as follows:
COMP: HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI
Object : COMPONENTCONTROLLER
Method: FOLLOWUP_POWL
Generate the URL to be called.
    CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
      EXPORTING

    lr_fpm_navigation->navigate( lv_key ).
Any idea how to open this window in full screen?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thank and Regards
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
This FPM navigation is achieved using settings made in Launchapd Customizing ( LPD_CUST ).
a) Execute Tran LPD_CUST
b) Go to Role HAP - Double Click to open it.
c) Open the second folder on the LHS menu - there you will find 2 entries
d) Click on second entry - in the entry setting you can see that it is configured for WD Application - HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT
e) Click on button Show Advanced Parameters
f) There you will find a input box named as Window Features - here you can specify window features like
height=700,width=1100,position=center,menu=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no
save the settings come out and test ur app again.
change the height and width and other features as per ur req.

Open new Finder windows in full screen mode by default

I'd like for new finder windows to open full-screen by default.
I have found that, if I have no finder windows open, opening a new finder window always defaults to a non-full-screen window.
Is there a way to fix this?

Word docs don't open full screen on iBook

My brother, up in Maine, I'm in NY, has an iBook with Word X on it. (I don't know the version of OSX he has but he probably hasn't updated it since he bought it... I am not sure of the model of his iBook either. I can find out.) His main complaint is that Word documents don't open full-screen (once he drags the window to fill the screen) upon reopening or with new blank documents.
I am wondering if Word doesn't like certain screen resolutions. I don't know what he is using now but I have suggested he try some others. Does anyone know if Word docs won't act right under certain screen resolutions? Or if it is something else, what can we do so that docs open fully.
He bought the Mac thinking it was easier to use but this one thing has kept him from using it at all! He is using this for his business, a used book shop, and would use Word to list books. I hope to fix this so he can see the value of the Mac.
Cheers,
John
(who's been using Macs for years.)

We really need to know which version of the OS he is using, and the iBook model would be good to know, too.
You may want to poke around on Microsoft's Mactopia and see if there are some hints for him there.

Reader XI do NOT want opening FULL SCREEN!

I am running Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2 on a Dell Windows 7 workstation with dual monitors. We generally have a dozen applications open and we bounce all around between them. Whenever I open a PDF document which ever monitor it was opened on last, it will open maximized on the display. I do *NOT* want it to open maximized and I have searched high and low, tried setting Preference settings for Full Screen, Documents, everything I can find and no matter what I do, as soon as I open a PDF it's full screen. I can get it to change how the document appears in the full screen view, like fit page or zoom to width, but it always opened FULL SCREEN!
How do I turn this feature OFF?!?!?!?!?!

I think I found the cause of the issue. In my case, I use the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to create a transform file for installation. One of the options I have enabled is under Direct Connect. Under the "Property" table I have the option DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION set to YES. I originally set this value because I didn't want PDFs to open within IE in my environment, I wanted it to open in Acrobat. I found that in version XI, the usual place to control this setting within Acrobat was no longer there. In previous versions, I would go to Edit > Preferences > Internet and enable/disable the option to "Display PDF in browser".
The workaround that I have done for now is create a separate transform file with the option set to NO. I uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it with the new transform file. To prevent PDFs from opening within IE, I have to go into Manage add-ons within IE and disable the "Adobe PDF Reader" add-on. The problem is that disabling the add-on within IE is profile-specific, which means that if I have multiple users that share the same computer, I will have to change that setting for each user, which is a bit inconvenient.
I was hoping that this setting would be as easy as finding it in the registry somewhere and changing it there, but no such luck for me. I looked over the registry and didn't see where the key or value was located. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge than me can solve this puzzle.

Is it possible to set a finder window to full screen mode,..

... like mail, itunes and other apps? and if not, why not?
I have to say it took me a bit to get used to Lion, I began complaining all day until I decided to take some time to learn it, and now I like it very much, I see the advantages over 10.6.
But still, there are some things I don't know about, and the window of opportunity to take time to learn more has closed. And I don't know when it'll open again.
So, that's why I have joined the community, because now I'm trying to use everthing on full-screen mode, and as I was setting my desktops to work on a project in which I will be needing a lot of finder windows open with a lot of items each, I instantly asked myself:
Is it possible to set the finder windows to full screen? because I don't see any buttons.
Thanks 4 Your Time
R.D.B.

Thanks Don Archibald,
Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment. But I thought it would be nice to have the little full screen button just to press it so.
Besides, I'm still figuring out the finder windows' behaviour. I discovered that if you open a folder from a window that has the toolbar, the new folder would also open with a toolbar, even if you already had it set it up with just the status bar.
And one thing that still enervates me is that if you have a window with two items, and you press the green button to fit the borders up tight, instead of leavin' the 2 items in a horizontal arrangement, it moves one to the bottom and puts a slider. Arrgh.
Another thing I haven't understood is why one folder I have on the dock sometimes opens with a column layout instead of the icon layout I have arranged for it before. Totally random 4 now, can't find the why.
Anyway... I'm going to order some lapel pins about 2 flags I designed for two embassies. Anyone know a good place for doing that?

Thankx

If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

How can I get Top Sites to open full screen?

SQL Management Studio -- Windows open off-screen!

I used to have three monitors hooked up to this computer, now I only have two. Most applications don't have any problem with this, except SQL Management Studio which keeps opening windows off the right-hand side of the screen which are impossible to move back on-screen! All I can do is right-click the window in the taskbar, then choose "maximize" to temporarily work with the window. (I don't want the window maximized, but that's the only way to make it visible!) Import/Export data wizard window does this, as does the "add new users to DB" window.
How do I reset window locations in SQL Management Studio? This is getting extremely annoying. And please, please fix this bug! It's the year 2007, your program should be able to cope with multiple monitors! (Imagine how many laptop users who hot-swap monitors all the time are running into this.)
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft has looked into the bug, and in fact, we've done a lot of work on the mulitple monitor support in SQL Server 2008, as I mentioned in my post. You should see an improvement there.
- Buck
Your last reply on this thread was telling me that, and I quote: "SSMS has no notion of monitors - it just uses whatever Windows says are there. If you will remove the monitor from the video card settings then SSMS will not show the screens on something that does not exist." Which is incorrect, as my screenshot in the next post proved. Normally when people make a claim, and it's refuted, they respond in some fashion.
The annoyance is that it took a full year (and an irate post from me) for you to respond to that screenshot, and it still seems like you're unclear about the issue. It has nothing at all to do with "I can't move my screen around". Let's review the repro instructions one more time:
1) Start with a computer running Windows XP Pro and three monitors plugged in, arranged in a horizontal line. The center monitor is the default.
2) Open SSMS. Maximize it in the left-most monitor.
3) In the Object Browser, select a database, expand "Security", expand "Users", then right-click in the list and select "New User"
4) Move the New User window to the right-most monitor and maximize it.
5) Close SSMS, then re-open it and bring up the New User window again. Notice that SSMS saves the window position so that it continues to open on the right-most monitor. (This is good!)
6) Now unplug the right-most monitor and restart the computer. Go to the Monitors property sheet to ensure that there are only two monitors listed, and that the right-most (of the two) is still the default monitor.
7) Open SSMS, then bring up the New User window once more. Notice that the New User window now opens off-screen.
The irony is that this bug doesn't even apply to me anymore as, after about 6 months, I got my third monitor back. But for those 6 months, I was getting this behavior MANY TIMES A DAY, driving me completely and utterly furious and crazy each time, because it's such a stupid and moronic and easy-to-fix bug. I don't understand how your QA process could possibly have missed windows opening off-screen.
(Like you suggested, if SSMS actually ensured that windows opened on monitors that actually exist, this whole thing would be a non-issue.)
I don't know what you mean by "can't move my screen around," as this has nothing to do with moving or repositioning screens. It has to do with a window that opens off-screen, so that it's impossible to use the window without doing one of the ugly hacks outlined in this thread.
I'm glad SQL Server 2008 has "lots of work on multiple monitor support" and I'd be extremely happy if it did what you <i>claimed</i> SSMS 2005 did a year ago.
Sorry for the tone. It's so upsetting to me that bugs related to multi-monitor support could exist in a product in use in 2005, after a full decade of Windows supporting multiple-monitors. Isn't this stuff perfected by now? Doesn't Microsoft have any kind of minimal quality control process, and why isn't this on it? It's hard to express how frustrating this is, both the bug and the lack of response to it.

On Clicking Entrance hyberlink, wanting Flash to open Full Screen

Hi,
Hopefully, someone can offer their expertise-
If you go to my website "entrance" page, you will notice the
"flash" side of my site as "Studio Entrance".
In the html code, I would like to have the visitor to the
site, click on "Studio Entrance" and then the flash site open FULL
SCREEN.
Because the images are 900x600, I need as much screen real
estate as possible. I notice that even though some computers are
1024x768, sometimes they have to "scroll" to the bottom of the
flash site to see the links.
PLEASE HELP!
If you view the page source on the index page, you will of
course, see the coding.
I attempted to insert your suggestions to another user but no
luck.
My email address is: [email protected]
I sincerely appreciate your help.

The flash swf has
'width="1000" height="700"
You could set it to width 100%
Has its merits and demerits. Test it on different resolutions
and see if it
works for you
The flash swf file has a height of 700px. Most users will end
up having to
scroll. Same for the page with the pic.
You could put the navigation links both at the top and
bottom. Regardless
with a height of 700px, viewers with 800x600 px resolution or
even 1024x768
will not see the entire flash content. Should try and not
exceed height of
450 px or 500px. Would also reduce the size of the file
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

Windowed to Full-screen takes 3 attempts

I'm working on a program, and one of the features I want is to be able to toggle between Full-screen and Windowed modes. I've searched these forums (and google) and saw a lot of the bug issues with full-screen implementations were from JDK 1.4, but haven't found if those bugs still exist. I also haven't found anyone that's encountering quite the same problem I'm having, which is:
When changing the window (JFrame) from windowed mode to full-screen, it does a minimize-maximize loop 3 times before it finally goes full-screen.
I thought it might've been related to the many other parts of the code I had written to handle this (namely key events for global hotkeys), but in the following demo which is a watered-down version of what I'm doing, I still get the same problem. Only difference between this and the actual program is the actual program uses an input-action mapping instead of a button.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ToggleTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice;
    private DisplayMode origDisplayMode;
    private JButton myToggleButton;
    private boolean isFullScreen = false;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ToggleTest();
    public ToggleTest() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JPanel tmp = new JPanel();
        GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices();
        graphicsDevice = devices[0];
        origDisplayMode = graphicsDevice.getDisplayMode();
        JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Test fullscreen");
        tmp.add(myLabel);
        myToggleButton = new JButton("Toggle");
        myToggleButton.addActionListener(this);
        tmp.add(myToggleButton);
        getContentPane().add(tmp);
        setSize(800,600);
        setVisible(true);
     * Toggles the screen between full-screen and windowed.
     * Implemented as a method for re-usability with code
     * that doesn't trigger action commands.
    private void toggle() {
        if(isFullScreen) {
            //Set to windowed mode
            dispose();
            setUndecorated(false);
            setResizable(true);
            graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(null);
            setSize(800,600);
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setVisible(true);
            validate();
        } else {
            //set fullscreen mode
            dispose();
            setUndecorated(true);
            setResizable(false);
            graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(this);
            setVisible(true);
            validate();
        isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if(e.getSource() == myToggleButton) {
            toggle();
}I tried messing with the graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode method, but in examples I've seen, it made the whole screen go black and to the specified resolution of the supplied display mode. I'd rather keep the native resolution regardless of being in full-screen or windowed mode, and instead of having the setDisplayMode(origDisplayMode) in both the windowed and full-screen declarations, I just removed it (with no seemingly ill effects).
I also tried removing the setFullScreenWindow(this) and just resized the JFrame to the current resolution, removed the decorations, removed the ability to resize it, and set it at the upper left corner, and this was a step closer to what I wanted. There were no minimize-maximize incidents, however the start bar was still on top. Reading the javadoc said if fullscreen mode wasn't supported that it would simulate it (which could be the case as the computer I'm testing it on has integrated graphics).
Any help would be appreciated.

That would be nice.
Would also be nice to have the visualizer full screen on the secondary screen and leave the pimary screen alone.
