Firefox 22 changed and locked Windows 7 title bar (big and bold)

Not sure why the decision was made to map to Windows settings, but the upgrade from FF21 to FF22 has also changed and locked my Windows 7 Toolbar font settings (active and inactive). They are now big and bold. While I can change the color, I cannot change the font, font size, or unbold (stays bold regardless of "B" being highlighted or not).
Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but it just made my Windows ugly.
See the image. Color is changed, but the font isn't a size 6 and it's also bold when shouldn't be.

Fix by reverting to a pre-FF22 registry backup entry for:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Control Panel
Desktop
WindowsMetrics
You can't really modify the entries in regedit as they are hex data values. But this did (after a few hours) solve my problem.

  • Firefox icon changes to default Windows icon after a few days

    Downloaded Firefox browser on new HP Pavilion dv6. After a couple of days, Firefox icon changes to default Windows program icon. Uninstalled Firefox and re-installed. After a few days, the icon changed back to default Windows program icon. I cannot manually change icon back under Properties setting as default program icon is now associated with Firefox program. Laptop is 64-bit, and program is installed under Windows x86 folder.
    Is this a Microsoft setting issue? Or do I need a different download for 64-bit?

  • How to change the color of a title bar

    Hello !
    I try to change the color from my title bars, but I fail.
    I tried to change the activeCaption value to an other colour, but that didn�t work. Currently I use a own LAF and set it with UIManager.setLookAndFeel("dpg.beans.GuiWindowsLookAndFeel");
    import javax.swing.UIDefaults;
    import com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel;
    public class GuiWindowsLookAndFeel extends WindowsLookAndFeel {
      protected void initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults table) {
        String[] colors = {
           "activeCaption", "#B0171F" 
         loadSystemColors(table, colors, false);
    }I also used the complete stringarray from WindowsLookAndFeel and only changed that one color. Still no changes.
    Any ideas ?

    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    class Testing
      public void buildGUI()
        UIManager.put("activeCaption", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));

  • Customising the color of a window's title bar

    I am using form 10g. How can I customise the color of a window's title bar besides the changes that are brought about by toggling formsweb.cfg parameter look and feel? I mean if I wanted it to be gray/black?
    Is the way just for interest. Does anyone know?

    For example:
    (1)What did you would like to do in the Visual Studio 2013 Express?
    (2) If you want to develop a program like the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive from the VS2013 Express.
    Generally, I know that when we set the theme as "Windows Classic" theme on the Windows 7 and then start two VS windows, it will show an active VS window like the following screen shot.

    How can I go about changing the Icon in the title bar that goes next to the title?

  • Why did the browser window's title bar, menu, minimize, maximize, and close buttons all disappear, and how do I get them back?

    I am literally stuck in Firefox. Suddenly the window changed to full screen mode, and the title bar and Firefox menu disappeared, along with the close, minimize, and maximize buttons. All I can access are the menu bar and open browser tabs.
    I can't even access my dock (on Mac), which usually pops up when I mouse over the bottom of the screen.
    So, the only way it seems I can get out of Firefox is to shut down my computer by pressing the power button. Unless there is some keyboard shortcut. I tried command-11 but that just switched between open my browser tabs.
    FYI i have no idea what Ubuntu is and don't think I'm using it (that name seems to pop up when I google this problem)
    Oh yeah, also I'm using Firefox 3.6.2 because my elderly Mac is running on OSX 10.4.11. Have never had any problems with it before.

    IN your iTunes library, does the movie appear with a cloud on it for downloading?
    is the movie still in the iTunes Store?
    iTunes purchases the rights to sell a movie, but those are for a time limit.  If the right expires and apple doesn't renew, the movie is no longer available for download and must be saved in your library.   I suggest backing up your movies ASAP.  Check the store for this movie, perhaps it is still available. 

  • How can I change the color of a title bar?

    Ok, I have been looking for this answer for over a week now and nobody
    has yet given me an answer that works. So I am going to ask again.
    Here is a piece of code you can run to see what I am trying to do:
    public class RemoteDisplayFrame extends JFrame {
    public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
    public RemoteDisplayFrame() {
    super();
    public RemoteDisplayFrame(String title) {
    super(title);
         public void setBorderContent() {
    this.setUndecorated(true);
    JRootPane rootPane = this.getRootPane();
    rootPane.setWindowDecorationStyle( JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG );
    this.setRootPane( rootPane );
    public static void main( String [] args ) {
    RemoteDisplayFrame frame = new RemoteDisplayFrame( "Test Frame" );
    frame.setBorderContent();
    frame.pack();
    frame.show();
    Run this code and you should get a frame on your screen that has no
    close buttons, minimize buttons, or maximize buttons, and no menu.
    I want to change the title bar's color to a specific color.
    That color is GRAY70:
    public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
    If you have any idea on how to do this please do tell.

    AFAIK, you can't. I believe the title bar is rendered by the operating system, using the colors the user has chosen, consistently for all windows. Frankly, if your app could, it would annoy me, as I would still want all my windows to look consistent.

  • LR3 to LR4:  Windows 7 Title Bar

    Recently upgraded LR3 to LR4 on two machines.  On one computer Lightroom 4 catalog...shows in the Windows title bar.  On the other computer Lightroom 3 catalog…shows in the Windows title bar.  Is there something that I missed when performing the upgrade?

    No I don't think so. Lr4 updates the Lr3 catalog the first time you opened Lr4. But updating the catalog does not mean that the name of the catalog file is changed.
    So, if your Lr 3 catalog had been named "Lr 3" then the updated Lr 4 catalog would still be named "Lr 3" - although it is the Lr 4 catalog.
    The name of the file is totally un-important, you can name the catalog file anything you want. What counts is the contents of the catalog file not its name.
    Since you work in Lr 4 the catalog must be a Lr 4 catalog - even if its name is "Lr 3".
    If this annoys you, you can change the file name in your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer). You should rename the catalog file and the preview file. After renaming the files double-click the catalog file and Lr 4 will  open with it.
    BUT PLEASE - back up your catalog in a safe location before you proceed with renaming the catalog.

  • Missing feature in Finder window's Title Bar-

    Hi there!
    I don't know if this has already been posted; I've tried to make a search but it's a real pain.
    I have upgraded my Macpro to Snow Leopard since a couple of months now, but I still miss an important feature that I used quiet A LOT in Leopard.
    We all know if we have a window opened with Toolbar on in the Finder and ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click) on its Title Bar it drops down a menu showing all it's parent folders.
    If you click on one of those, its content gets displayed in the already opened window.
    Ok. Nice (well.. not that much).
    In Leopard (not Snow) we had the option to cmd-click on one of the parent folders displayed in that menu and have it opened in a NEW window, with its original dimensions fitting its whole content.
    (THAT was "nice")!
    Now, in Snow Leopard, this feature seems to be gone.
    Ok... we have a brand new "Path bar" which behaves the same.
    But it's ugly, occupies room in the window and... Oh well; I want that Leopard behavior back! :-)p
    Does anyone know how can I have it back (aside from downgrading)?
    What makes me think it's still possible to have it back, it's the fact that if I double-click a folder in a window, I can get it opened in a new window with that same behavior. And that if I ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click) on Safari's Window Title and then cmd-click on one of the items showing in the menu (which are parents folders of a site) I get the very same behavior I had in Leopard: it opens the parent folder in a NEW window (or tab, depending on your settings).
    So, I'm guessing is something to change in the Finder preferences, but I just can't figure out where.
    TIA!
    (What I wrote is always referred to windows with Toolbar visible; I know without Toolbar every folder opens in a new window, even the ones from the popup).

    Hi, Don Archibald and thanks for your answer.
    In the first part of my post I already said I was aware that "ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click)" would make the hierarchical dropmenu appear, both in SL and Leopard.
    What differs is while in Leopard you could cmd-click on an item of the dropmenu and have it open in a new window, in SL it opens in the same window, no matter if you press cmd or not when clicking.
    As for the "Always open folders in a new window", as it clearly states, that would make every folder (even "regular" ones - the ones not listed in the dropmenu) open in a new window, which is absolutely not what I want.
    I want to be able to choose on the fly if a parent folder from the dropmenu, or a "regular" folder, should open in its own window or in the window I'm already in.
    Just like I did under Leopard.
    Thanks again for your interesting, anyways ;-)

  • Movement of mouse hides window behind title bar at the top of the display

    My roommate's daughter was visiting and changed a bunch of settings. I got everything restored except one - at times when I move my mouse (usually in the direction of the title bar), the window "auto hides" behind the title bar. A small border at the bottom of the hidden window remains visible just below the title/tool bar, which, when I click on it, returns it to the screen.
    This seems like it might be a good feature to use, IF I only knew what causes it to do this only when I want it to. Can this be turned off if I don't want to use it?
    Help & Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. Has anyone come up with an answer? Rick M

  • How to change the position of the title bar in XFCE?

    I hate widescreens, but I bought one because only those are sold. There's a problem with them - The amount of text you can fit on the screen horizontally is quite low which means less lines of text and more scrolling. Also, I noticed that at least 50px is taken up by misc title bars and menus. There would be much more space if I got rid of them.
    Unfortunately, getting rid of them is not an option. I need them. I was thinking that it perhaps would be possible to move the title bars of the windows to the side of the window. Mockup of how it would work included. Do you know of any such solution? That would really help.
    Mockup: http://yfrog.com/j4screenshotesp

  • How to screencapture CONTENTS of a window, without title bar?

    I've been trying to find a solution to doing a screen capture but NOT the window title bar, just the CONTENTS of the window. For example, in Photoshop, I only want the image IN the window, not the bits with the 3 coloured blobs in the upper left of all windows and the document title
    All the references I've foiund talk about capturing the wndow, but no-one talks about the contents of the window.
    Am I trying to invent a wheel here?
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you asking about screenshots in general? You have three choices: the entire Mac's screen, an entire window including the title bar, or a selection created by dragging a selection rectangle.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11229
    To take a screenshot for posting on this site hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field.
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Changing the logo in the Title Bar of a JFrame

    Hi Sverigeterje
    Thanks.
    That's very neat. All done with one line of code, as opposed to the two lines of code I found in an answer (dated Jan 8, 2001) from Alexander Smirnov in response to a similar question (dated Sep 16, 2000) from Shawn Barker. (http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=49970 - Jan 8, 2001)

    this.setIconImage(image.getImage());
    Once again many thanks.

  • Windows 8 Title Bar does not reappear

    After the title bar auto disappears, it does not come back when I move my mouse to the top. Also, my mouse pointer does not change to a hand so I can grab and close the app. I have to always hit Alt + Space to get
    the title bar back. 

    After the title bar auto disappears, it does not come back when I move my mouse to the top. 
    Sounds like you need to calibrate your pointer device.  FWIW I don't see one for my mouse.  But it does have a diagnostic called mousinfo.exe which could show if I needed something like that.  That is a tool that MS provide in both their IntelliPoint
    and Mouse&Keyboard software.  For example, relevant to your example, when the pointer is hovering at the top Y Position: -1 is shown.  I suspect that that would be the only value which you could use to start from for the function that you want
    to use.  Heh.  In fact, using Mousekeys while monitoring with mousinfo.exe I found I was able to raise the Title bar at as low as 3.  YMMV.  If you have a real numeric keypad (or a hardware equivalent) you could try using Mousekeys instead
    of whatever mouse you are using too.
    As for the other point about the pointer icon changing to a hand, I think that is old functionality.  Just drag down as soon as the title bar appears.  E.g. consider the title bar as providing the same usability signal that the appearance of the
    hand had.
