Edit the About Button

Hi again ... I am trying to include our company logo and
links in the 'About' button on the Main Toolbar. Working in
RoboHTML 6.0 with my primary output as FlashHelp. I've tried to
edit an existing skin and Edit is disabled. I tried to create a new
skin and have the option to create a customer WEBHELP skin or to
create a skin from the gallery. I chose to create a skin from the
gallery since when I tried to create a WEBHELP skin it doesn't work
in my FlashHelp. Once I've chose a skin from the gallery I'm asked
to provide a new name, which I've done. This simply drops the new
skin in the Project list and does not allow me to edit this new
skin. The new skin does appear in the output properties but I'm not
able to edit the About button in this view.
Any ideas on how to edit the About button on the Main
toolbar.
Thank you.
Kathleen

You're most welcome!
Let me fix something I said earlier
: You can change the "Powered By" part of the button
by opening wfres.xml in your output files (use a text editor like
Notepad). You would see a line that looks like this:
<item name="Logo/Author" value="Powered By"/>
Change "Powered By" to something else and save the file, and
that text will show up in your button. However, be aware that when
you generate FlashHelp again, your changes to this XML file get
overwritten. If you want the button text to remain changed, you can
keep the changed version of wfres.xml in another location. Then you
copy and paste it into your output directory after you generate
FlashHelp. (Otherwise, you have to go into wfres.xml every time you
generate FlashHelp and change this text again.)
Also note that what I said earlier about having to change the
.fla file for this button is still true for the "RoboHelp" or
"FlashHelp" part of the button. That part has to be changed in
Adobe Flash.
A little background on your question about changing skin
files: A FlashHelp skin is made up of multiple SWF movies. A .swf
is created using a .fla file, which is editable in Adobe Flash. The
.fla files used to create the FlashHelp skin movies are included
with the .swfs. When you create or import a Flash skin, RoboHelp
puts all the .fla and .swf files in this directory: <project
folder>/!SkinSubFolder!/<skin name>. If you change one of
the Flash files in this directory and export it as a SWF into that
same directory, RoboHelp will use that new version of the file when
you next run the FlashHelp output.
This means (to answer your question) that if you change a
.fla and .swf file in a particular project's !SkinSubFolder!, the
skin is changed for that project only. To use that same changed
file for another project, the safest way is probably to import the
entire skin into the other project.
Hope this is some help,
Ben

Is it possible to change the name of the about button "About" to "MyPName"??

Hi,
Is it possible, in AfterEffects CS3, to change displaying name of the about button "About" to "MyPName"??
If that is not possible could you please tell me how can I add the parameter, in my UI, similar to the "About" button?? I mean
- color of the "MyPName" = color of the "About" button ( blue color right now )
- click on "MyPName" then should open dialog ... etc.
Thanks

It cannot be possible ( I think ).

How do you edit the 'About this mac' window?

Hi,
I need to edit the about this mac window - pictured here to remind you of what exactly it is ( http://www.pluggedinmac.com/Picture%201.jpg )- in order to further my understanding of how this aspect of Macintosh works.
I will be extremely greatful of all replies
Thanks
James

You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you mean by "edit".
If you want to edit the actual .nib file (the archive which describes the window), it's at
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Ab outThisMac.nib
Nib files can normally be edited by using the Interface Builder application that's part of the Xcode developer tools.
However, since you're on an Intel-based Mac, you won't be able to edit the nib unless you first find a version from a Power PC Mac. The reason for this is that .nib files aren't actually a file, but a package that includes different parts inside the primary folder. For example, if you Control-click on the AboutThisMac.nib mentioned above, and choose Show Package Contents, a new Finder window will open which shows a single item "keyedobjects.nib". That is an actual file which holds the archived user interface objects (using key/value coding/archiving, hence the "keyed" in the name). To be able to open and edit a .nib file in Interface Builder, however, you need two additional files inside named "classes.nib" and "info.nib". These provide Interface Builder with the information necessary to properly open the nib. By removing those two files from the nib, a developer can essentially make the nib "read-only", meaning it will work fine when the application it's a part of needs to use it, but an end-user (or their competition) cannot open the nib file in Interface Builder to see how the objects were constructed. Most nibs that are part of an OS X install on PowerPC-based Macs include the necessary files and can be opened in Interface Builder. Most of the nibs included with Intel-based Macs, on the other hand, do not include those files and can't be opened in Interface Builder without first copying the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" files from a PowerPC-based Mac's nib to the Intel version of the nib.
Hope this helps....

How can I edit the QuickPlay button on HP Pavilion dv6000?

I want the QuickPlay button for my HP Pavilion dv6936 to open iTunes instead of QuickPlay. I went to regedit, and once there, I'm stumped trying to figure out how to edit the path to the one-touch button I wish to edit. I tried "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Mobil… but after changing the path of button 2, the one I thought was the correct button, there was no affect. Please help me fix this. I am running Vista.

Hello ccc123d,
I won't be able to help you "hack" QuickPlay, but this link will help you get back whatever version you need. The links are at the very bottom of the document.
I hope this helps.

Mac OS 10.6.8. In address book I have tried to delete some groups (created when I created an account in mail which I then subsequently deleted). However in address book edit the delete button is greyed out.

I cannot delete groups in address book because the delete button is greyed out. I have deleted the original mail accounts which created the address book. I could just leave the groups there but the problem it creates is that address book tries to connect to the relevant server every time I open mail, then I get various error messages because it cannot connect. Thanks for any assistance.

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Editing the menu button independantly

Hi,
I would suggest you to use Manual menu button for the first button and exclude the home page from being listed in the Menu by right clicking on the page in the plan view and go to Menu options.

Xfce4 Edit The Window Buttons Panel Menu?

Hi, new Arch Linux user here. I dabbed a little in Ubuntu and stuff before but finally took the plunge and wiped my WIndows partitions and started running solely Linux a few days ago. There's still a few things I haven't been able to work out (figure out how to run LoL and Photoshop, especially Photoshop - I tried GIMP and could not make heads or tails out of it) but worst comes worst I'll probably just install Windows to a USB or VM and run it from there when I need it (I do not trust myself to stick to Linux when I have a Windows enviroment dualbooted... lol).
Anyways, I was wondering if there's any way of editing how xfce4 displays the right click menu in its panel. I tried google but couldn't really find anything.
i.e.
Instead of:
Minimize
Maximize
Move
Resize
Always on Top
Close
Change it to simply:
Close
I find the first 5 options completely useless, the first 2 duplicating the function of just left-clicking the panel and the latter 2's function can be found with alt+space, and the final one I can just right-click the window's title bar to pin it to the top.
Anyways, it's just a convenience thing, I usually have a billion windows open at once and being able to close them faster would be nice. It's one of those things IMO the Windows superbar got right.

Updating Webhelp About button

How can I update the information in the About button in the toolbar for help generated using Webhelp? I have the copyright information for my project in there and it has gotten out of date, but I can't find where to update it. The About file in my baggage files list is .htm and it won't open for me.

This was interesting because it made me check the copyright date of the skin used with my WebHelp Pro project.
When I clicked Edit, RoboHelp displayed the "Critical error of Source Control Provider. Please restart IDE." error. I clicked OK.
Then, when I tried to edit the skin, it displayed the "Cannot Complete Operation" error because the file could not be checked out from version control. (This sequence of errors occurs every time I generate the Help, too. After generating the Help, I have to shut RH down and open it again in order to keep working on the project..)
In this case I had to edit the copyright date by opening the skin in an external editor.
When I regenerated the Help, I didn't even see the About box.
When I opened the Skin Editor again, I saw that it's a WebHelp Skin Editor. I assume that, for some reasons known only to RoboHelp, the About Box does not appear in WebHelp Pro output.

Change title, tooltip and icon for About button in published Webhelp?

About Webhelp is just plain wrong. The tooltip ought to read "About <project name>" and the title bar for the About window should be eliminated (or else have it read About <project ver xx>.
How do I do this?
Likewise, is it possible to change the ICON for the About dialog in the toolbar of a published Webhelp project?

I have the same issue.
I modified the whskin_banner.htm file to control what displays for the About button. The only thing I can't figure out is how to modify the tooltip. It still says "About Webhelp" when you hover over it.
I searched the whskin_banner.html file for the words "About Webhelp" but nothing was found. I looked in the Edit Skin wizard and couldn't find anything either. I also searched the Skinny on Skins and it doesn't address this issue.
How do I change the About tooltip? Did I miss something?
Thanks!

My "About" button is not working HELP

thanks in advance

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jason, have you recently upgraded your device to OS 4.5, and in that process did you remove the Voice Activated Dialing features? If you did, that also disables the Options > About screen, and was likely explained in the upgrade process you used.
Workaround: on the homescreen, press and hold ALT while typing E A C E
or
Press ALT + rightSHIFT + H at the same time.

What to do when the restore button is unavailable in Time Machine?

I've had no problem with backups in the past, but my list of backups now (dating back to June '11) has no Restore button available. For any of them. Including today's backups. What should I do?
Edit: The restore buttons appears when I choose a file from inside the Time Machine. I guess I was forgetting how Time Machine works. I was under the assumption that when I chose a backup I could restore the entire thing. Does that mean it is impossible to a total restore of a Mac from Time Machine and only individual files and folders?

Thanks, I also read around a bit more and found this

The 10.4 upgrade smart playlist editing has removed the ellipse as the 3rd button option along side the adding or removing a parameter. Why? And can we get it back?

I just did the iTunes update to 10.4 (80) from 10.3 on a MacPro OS X 10.6.8 . I am extremely nervous and saddened by a subtle change to the smart playlist editing features. I have 178.26gb of music, and a very extensive array of playlists and smart playlists taking full advantage of all the wonderful features and complexity someone has taken the time to develop. I have taken years of time developing my library, and this one little change will set me back substantially. The change? Removing the ellipse as the 3rd button option along side the adding or removing a parameter. The button allowed one to create levels or groups of parameters within the dialogue window that could act independently within one smart playlist. For example, songs from artist "A" needs at least 2 stars to be included, while songs from artist "B" need three stars, and they both can be in the same smart playlist which has its first level of complexity. I have lists that go dozens of layers beyond. And dozens more that cross reference. Is there any way we can get the hierarchy back, ie. Reintroduce the ellipse button? Or is there something new I do not know about? Thanks!

I would like to second this.
This subtle yet life-changing removal is a total loss for advanced users that (used to) take full advantage of "logical and hierarchical" playlists. It tremendously impairs the "smartness" of the feature, effectively removing the possibility of mixing "and" & "if" parameters—which was the real beauty of the whole concept of "smart playlists" à la iTunes.
Here's a simple example. I would like to create a playlist combining two genres (rock and electronic) with only songs that have a rating higher than 3. I cannot do that anymore. I need to create two playlists:
a first playlist (A) that displays [Rock] OR [Electronic] (note that this playlist will never be played, it's an intermediary step required for B)
then a second playlist (B) that displays [songs from playlist "A"] AND [with a rating higher than 3].
It's a pain. And it clutters up browsing lists on my iPad/iPhone a lot.
Smart playlists should get the ellipse button back!
Moreover, the possibility of creating / editing smart playlists on iOS via a nice menu would be just… awesome. I would have thought Apple was going in that "smart" direction with iTunes. In hoping it's just a delay… until iOS 5 maybe?

I just downloaded the update for garageband and I realized that I can no longer find the grid button! Did Garageband get rid of the grid button??? How can I change the bar to 1/32 and 1/64 or swing 1/32 for better, easier, and precise editing?

If I can no longer use a grid button, how can I go about making music precisely? This can be a pain if I have to drag the mouse around left and right to get the right rhythms. This would defeat the whole purpose of upgrading to the latest Garageband. I wish I had the older version if the grid button is gone.

The visible grid is automatic - it will depend on the zoom slider setting and is no longer as versatile as in the previous version.
And you can set an automatic Time Quantize in the Track Editor.
Turn the Tracks area grid on or off
Choose Edit > Snap to Grid.

How to suppress Save As dialog when using the Close button on an editable pdf

Environment: Windows 7, SDK 9, Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Visual Studio 2010 Professional
Summary: when a document is opened for editing using automation, edited, then closed using the "Close" button, the confirmation dialog appears, "yes" is selected and then the "Save As" dialog appears. It should save without the "Save As" dialog in the same way it does were the document opened from Adobe Acrobat directly. My question is, is there any flag to set which governs whether the "Save As" dialog appears as part of the close document process. It is behaving as if the document is read-only upon close. (it isn't)
This is how the document is opened from C++:
if(SUCCEEDED(hr = ::CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Adobe9::Acrobat::CAcroAVDoc), 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pUnk))){
hr = OleRun(pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)){
if (SUCCEEDED(hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(&pAVDoc))){
hr = pAVDoc->Open((BSTR)CComBSTR(strPath), strDocName, &bRet);
Even when the plugin is removed from the plug_ins\AcrobatSDK directory, the behaviour is the same.
Another reproduction is running the BasicIacVC sample, commenting out all lines from gAcroPdDoc->Close(); in InitInstance() and returning TRUE. If an editable document is opened using the sample, edited then closed using the "X" button, the confirmation dialog is followed by a "Save As" dialog as if it were a read-only document which it is not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Evan

Yes, it does. (as long as the pdf has been opened via a COM interface)
